Headbutt 70 15 30 Let's Go TM01 The user sticks out its head and attacks by charging straight into the target.

The latter is by far the most common, providing an excellent counter to the myriad of physical threats found in today's metagame. Although Rotom doesn't have any particular "strategy" other than to check Pokemon like Gyarados, Scizor, and Lucario, it provides one of the sturdiest Pokemon available, and I believe it should be mentioned in the OP. Here's what I love about RestTalking: Defensively, the advantages are obvious.

You can bring yourself back from the brink of destruction and keep an effective road block on the enemy. You also are less vulnerable to sleep inducers, although Breloom still is perfectly capable of screwing with teams. Status-dependent pokemon are also frustrated to no end. Blissey can't Toxic or Thunder Wave you for long.

What I really love about RestTalk is the offensive component. They generally aren't the most prolific sweepers, but in the late game, they can really shine. Once you eliminate specific threats, a RestTalk stat upper can usually comfortably set up for a satisfying sweep.

I've never really pushed it that hard, but your thoughts? Meanwhile Sleep Talk has disadvantages that are very obvious. Because of random selection, sometimes you will attack when you want to stat up, or vice versa, or sometimes you'll just Rest and waste a turn.

Also, Rest Talk sometimes allows stat uppers in. Then why didn't you mention it in the "Good" section of the OP? You provided two "Bad" examples, so why don't you list Rotom in conjunction with Gyarados?

Everyone knows Gyarados' purpose as well, so why did you mention it? The Pokemon Pimp. It's barely been talked about, but Crocune is an obvious choice if you're looking for something to stall, of sorts. It has great defensive typing and the ability to CM up. The only problem is bulky waters, but I've used it on a few teams and it works wonders.

I think Sleep Talk by itself can also be discussed. For example, a Guts user such as Machamp could easily just run Sleep Talk and not Rest, allowing for another moveslot. For this, that and other pokemon could make a pretty awesome counter to Breloom: switch into the Spore and hit it with something before it sets up a sub. That's only an example though, and I think it'd only be used in really specific situations if a team needed a status absorber and a Breloom counter, for example.

Most of the time though, it could be considered a waste of a moveslot. What do you all think? Are there any pokemon that could get away with just Sleep Talk? Under the underrated Rest-talkers, maybe add rest-talk curse Regirock.

It's surprisingly difficult to stop in SS and can sweep teams when paired with something like Gliscor. I think the decline of rest talking isn't necessarily that people don't know how effective they can be. Anybody who looked at a suicune or snorlax would quickly learn just how powerful and effective it can be.

I think, rather, the decline can be because of the amount of trick users on some people's teams. I haven't played competitively for a while but last time I played trick was a little too common. Quite a few times I fought teams with half the users tricking. So this whole mentality of "just deal with the trick users before you use a rest talker" gets to become a large feat leaving your pokemon useless until you do overcome it.

It's a big hassle in the face of tricking I think but I will say that it is always worth it. Restalk machamp, while no longer my favorite machamp set, is one of my old favorites. I even made a cursetalkingpert work a couple times. Seconding that you add Regirock. He is on nearly every Stall team I use him over CroCune and he is a beast. Only a crit has a chance to take him down. However, outside of SS he is generally useless, which may be why he wasn't added in the first place, for being too situational.

JabbaTheGriffin Stormblessed. I'm finding Sleep Talkers to be more and more necessary. I've found myself completely off guard lately when facing something like Breloom because considering how important each part of my team usually is, I always have to make the difficult decision of which Pokemon to simply give up to sleep, which is pretty much equivalent to losing a Pokemon. I've personally always been partial to Gyarados and Machamp. I've also been facing a number of teams that lack a Pokemon to take sleep I'm surprised there aren't more people trying to take advantage of it lately.

Also please no "Cro"pokemon unless it is Crocune. Haha, this might sound dumb, but where did "cro-" come from? Frost Rotom.
