Hey, I was brainstorming and looking at random lists that topped regionals this season, and I saw Grant Manley's Toad/ Seviper deck, and I looked at it and thought "how does this not lose to Golisopod", and yada yada, I saw a Salandit that I was taking out of my deck, and it clicked. Toad already plays DCE, and poison shenangians, Salandit is a 1 prize fire type that does MASSIVE damage for a DCE.
with a Choice Band, assuming that this non-existent Toad list plays it, and a Virbank in play, Saladlizard does 120 for a Double Colorless. Not bad, and perfectly OHKO-ing a Golisopod (60+30x2=180+30=210)
With Grant's list, assuming the opponent's active Mon is already poisoned and you have 3 Seviper's on you bench and a Virbank in play, you do 120, only, against Golisopod, you only do 180(only). But if they either attack in to you without switching, or they attacked into a Toad with a Poison Barb(since in this specific situation, they're already poisoned), then they get KO'd. Because Toad already plays DCE and all of the massive poison damage amplifiers, why wouldn't people play a copy of Salandit? It looks like it could be Seismitoad's Meowth.
