* Last Respects is an ''insane'' move. For every fainted Pokémon you have, the power of Last Respects goes up by 50, up to a maximum of ''300 base power,'' and this isn't even taking STAB into account! On top of that, Houndstone, the premier user of the move, also has Sand Rush as an Ability, doubling its Speed in a sandstorm, ensuring it's going to sweep up the enemy team if it's the last Pokémon standing. A very common strategy with Houndstone is to bring five Pokémon to act as a suicide squad, with at least one Sandstorm setter, and then bring out Houndstone to destroy the enemy team. That strategy was so powerful, Houndstone received instant bans from competitive play. Upon Pokémon HOME's release, Basculegion, a new user of the move who had slightly better Attack [[note]]For the male, the female has a slightly lower Attack than Houndstone[[/note]] and Speed and a similar ability in Swift Swim was potentially able to do the same thing. As such, Last Respects was banned. [[note]]Due to Smogon policies, Houndstone was banned due to being the only user of Last Respects, but now that it was determined the move was the issue, Houndstone got unbanned.[[/note]] And even then, its power in Ubers as an easy to set up win condition is already giving it a suspect test in that tier as well.
