What best yarimon right now?
Still good:
Chikeflare
Probably still one of the best mons, she has the highest total stats.
Soft Body prevents any Status which would wreck any other mon.
Almost every team wants to have at least 1 Soft Body tank and Chikeflare would be anyone's go to mon.
Moveset:
1. Soul Shield: now also increases accuracy +1 on top of self heal and blocking the enemies attack for a turn.
2. Flawless Advance: high power and negates the enemies attack when moving first
3. Tyrant Blow: High power, the 75% accuracy is negated by Soul Shield self accuracy buff
4. Last slot can be whatever, the old version was "Justice Strike" to boost accuracy, but since Soul Shield already does that, you can add Triple hit for another strong STAB or Merciless Iron Fist, which 100% reduce enemies evasion and deals alright Dark dmg.
120 hp, 135 atk, 100 def, 80 agi
total: 435
Kurotorofu/Shadoom
Still one of the best "Lamenting Spite" applying 3x DoT + heal stall set.
There is a new DLC2 Dark mon that can nearly replicate Kurotoru/Shadoom now.
Black Hole prevents any enemy from snowballing, if you see Moostar for example, switch to Kurotorofu/Shadoom and that puts an end to it's def + evasion boosts.
Moveset:
1. Lamenting Spite: applies 3 DoT
2. Body Regen: heals +50% hp
3. Perfect Guard: negate enemies next attack for a turn
4. Soul Drain: when all other attacks are on cooldown, this is just a filler
70 hp, 90 atk, 130 def, 70 agi
total: 360
Fell off slightly:
Moostar
Despites it's signature personality skill being nerfed(Enemy takes dmg when missing 50% -> 33%) it can still snowball out of control and 3v1 enemies that can't beat Moostar once it boost it's evasion + defense enough.
There are new DLC2 mons that can probably snowball a lot better than Moostar.
140 hp, 70 atk, 110 def, 80 agi total: 400
DLC2 Mons
Brachily
The new next best Soft Body tank after Chikeflare and the best for "End Content Tour" which bans Chikeflare.
It has very minmax stats having good hp, atk and def but very low spd.
Soft Body prevent enemy from doing DoT shenanigans, if you see a dark enemy, switch to the Soft body tank, since they often use "Lamenting Spite"
Moveset:
1. Gaia Lancer: deals dmg while boost it's own defense +1 stage
2. Life energy: self heal +50%
3. Nature's Allure: deals high dmg and reduce all the users skill cooldown -1.
4. The last slot can be whatever
115 hp, 115 atk, 100 def, 25 agi
total: 355
Gelien
A new very powerful snowball mon.
It's signature attack "Angel Kiss" steals 2 atk stages of the enemy.
Zen Mind to buff it's evasion like Moostar and then sweep enemies.
Mirror Strike to boost it's own spd while dealing high Water STAB dmg.
Moveset:
1. Angel Kiss: Steal 2 atk stages from the target and absorbs hp.
2. Zen Mind: Increase evasion +2 stages
3. Mirror Strike: High power Water attack that boost own spd +1 stage
4. The 4th slot is filler, Willow Wind stalls for 1 turn to wait out the cooldown of the other moves, Great Avalanche if you wanna mess with the enemy cooldown and have another strong Water STAB attack
115 hp, 85 atk, 105 def, 85 agi
total: 390
Tangleplant
Another very snowbally mon
Signature skill "All-Swallowing Drain" boost all your stats +1 stage while reducing the enemies. Nature's Allure reduces cooldown, allowing you to do a 3 turn cycle of
All-Swalling Drain -> Nature's Allure -> Whatever
Signature personality skill "Nutrient Extraction" heals 50% of your hp when defeating an enemy, allowing the snowball to continue.
Moveset:
1. All-Swallowing Drain: boost all user stats (atk, def, agi, acc and evasion )+1 stage while reducing all those stats from the enemy, also absorbs hp.
2. Nature's Allure: high power wind attack that also reduce all user's skill cooldown -1
3. Flower Storm: pretty weak 55 power, but 100% to reduce foe's atk -1 stage. This is a filler for the 3 turn cycle, reducing the enemies atk to extend it's longevity
4. Can be whatever, since you rarely use anything else but the 3 turn cycle. Flower Oil puts a clock on enemies, Soul Drain to steal some hp, but it's a weak skill when it's not STAB
110 hp, 80 atk, 120 def, 30 agi
total: 340
Hadetheos
Another "apply DoT + stall" Dark mon that Kurotorofu/Shadoom is famous for.
Signature personality skill "Necroforce" booost own atk +1 stage when entering the field for the 1st time.
Signature skill "Great life Devourer" is very power and heals for full amount of damage dealt and only 2 turn cooldown.
Moveset:
1. Great Life Force Devourer: High power that absorbs enemies hp. Unlike other hp absorb skill, this one seems to heal for full damage dealt instead of partially.
2. Lamenting Spite: Applies 3 DoT
3. Body Regen: heals +50% hp.
4. Last slot can be whatever, Sorcery Vortext reduce enemy atk -2 stages to help tanking easier while you wait out the cooldown of Body Regen/Lametning Spite
50 hp, 100 atk, 130 def, 120 agi
total: 400
