Probopass Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Probopass works as a support with 525 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. Earthpower with Choice Specs is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Probopass's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), Golem (Ground), and Gyarados (Water), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Machamp is the most dangerous since Fighting moves deal 4x damage. At base 40 Speed, Probopass won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Sturdy is the go-to ability for Probopass. It prevents being KOed from full HP, leaving 1 HP instead. Its hidden ability Sand Force can work in specific setups. Magnet Pull is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
Probopass is a special attacker with base 75 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 40 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the support role.
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the core moveset is Earthpower, Power Gem, Thunderbolt, and Hiddenpowerfire. Earthpower leads at 0% usage. This set covers the support role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Since Diamond & Pearl, Probopass has been in 12 games. Requiring an item-based evolution to obtain means it's consistently available but requires more effort than simply catching it in the wild.
