sash in general is a pretty crap item

I disagree with that! It's simply that Pokemon that can take advantage of it would most often rather a power or speed boost instead. It still has its uses, of course!

sash is for the pokemon that need to survive a hit to get off a stat boost like ninjask
idk zurkitree's stats but from what I understand it's super glass cannon

It's a bit frail but I wouldn't especially call it "super glass cannon."

Pheromosa, on the other hand...

then maybe life orb is better if it can take a neutrally effective hit

[FireArrow]

Sash is good on some suicide leads and that's pretty much it. Ninjask should never run it because substitute is way better.

If you're going for a tail glow Xuxitree set, I'd use life orb/zap plate and maybe expert belt/leftovers if that's more your style.

Sash is great on my Shell Smash Cloyster :^)

[mikey]

well there are 2 ways to build ninjask
the first is the traditional +6 speed boost baton pass that dies to priority taunts.  The second is the Swords Dance/X Scissor Sash lead that can occasionally OHKO grass type leads
Although I just played against a pokemon called Whirlisomething and apparently that's just a better ninjask so ninjask is just irrelevant now

It's a gimmick. If there are hazards on the field or the opponents team has any priority whatsoever you completely wasted an item slot (note: those two situations are really common.)

battling in general became a gimmick after 5th gen

Oh, I'm completely aware. But if you get it off turn one, entry hazards aren't a worry to it, and I can just ride Smell Smash + Skill Link bullshit unless I'm facing someone who actually knows how to deal with it.

does mold breaker stop skill link

[Nebbles]

I mean, it should?

[mastersuperfan]

It doesn't. Mold Breaker only applies when the Pokémon with Mold Breaker is attacking the target.
