So this is NOT an exact science and the final results will likely vary a little bit, but this should be good enough to give us a rough idea of what to expect from a 45-, 40-, or -35-energy Obstruct.Īnother note before we dive into some numbers. (But obviously if the final stats come out above 45 energy, I’ll dive into that when we get to that point.) Unfortunately, because no move that alters the stats of BOTH Pokémon in battle exists yet, PvPoke’s data files didn’t have a method to add a move that raised the user’s Defense and also lowered the opponent’s Defense, so I had to cheat a little by making my home-brewed Obstructs raise the user’s Defense AND Attack by one stage, roughly (and yes, I acknowledge it is roughly) working the same way as lowering the opponent’s Defense. ( See this screen capture to see them.) I capped out at 45 energy before I would be a little surprised to see anything higher than that, since Acid Spray and its big 100% double debuff deals 10 more damage than Obstruct and costs only 45 energy. So last night, I created three different versions of Obstruct, one that costs 45 energy, one that costs 40, and one that costs only 35 energy. So while I am stuck awaiting the energy cost before I can do a true deep dive analysis, I DO fortunately have my own “home” copy of PvPoke thanks to GitHub, and that lets me create moves and run simulations with them. This makes it the first move to alter the stats of the user AND opponent.

It raises the user’s Defense by one stage AND lowers the current opposing Pokémon’s Defense by one stage.

It deals only 15 damage (in PvP… in PvE it deals 20 damage).

Here’s what we DO know, as noted in the announcement:

Unfortunately we don’t know everything we need to know about the new move, as Niantic has taken to releasing everything but the energy cost for the last several new moves introduced to the game. Obstagoon Dark NormalĪs announced, Galarian Zigzagoon will be in the spotlight, with its final evolution OBSTAGOON receiving new-to-GO charged move OBSTRUCT. Howdy, Pokéfriends! Let’s take a quick look at what Obstagoon with Obstruct MIGHT look like come August Community Day.
