There's no drought in ru, and charizard doesn't get to switch out in a tier where having stealth rocks on the field is absolutely necessary. I suppose you could run sunny day on charizard to avoid switching, but you have to sacrifice coverage.phion IS great idea.
how is sun?
when charizard comes down, specs fire blast will HURT HURT HURT in the sun
Timid Porygon-Z Thunderbolt: 74.5-88.2% to +Sp. Def max/ max Mandibuzz.scarfed Porygon both fails to 2HKO it and you can easily toxic stall them.
Any sashed poke/pokemon with sturdy easily beats Yanmega as long as stealth rock is off the field.
non + sp att timid scarf Porygon Z does nowhere near that on 252HP/252Sp Def Mandibuzz. For some reason a lot of people like to run the scarf set lol.Timid Porygon-Z Thunderbolt: 74.5-88.2% to +Sp. Def max/ max Mandibuzz.
Timid Adaptability Tri Attack: 63.2-74.5% to the same Mandibuzz
SpecLens Yanmega Bug Buzz: 71.5- 84.2%
All calcs were taken without Rocks on the field. It's not a Lugia.
And even with Blastoise and Claydol being so common, its not impossible to keep rocks/spikes on the field.
That through me for a loop as well. I tried to find out what he meant but it just doesn't make sense. Yanmega has two sets...one is the best late game cleaner evar. And 2, he is one of the best Choice Specs users in existence.2. DID YOU JUST SAY YANMEGAS NOT A THREAT?!?!
It hasn't been a year, its been 3 months. RU hasn't even had suspect voting yet, NU won't be officially created for ~2 months. Plus, the metas gonna shift a ton when Blastoise and friends go UU and Charizard and friends come down here. I do agree with BL2, but BL3 is kind of useless. NU probably won't be recognized as an official tier and get suspect voting, much like 4th gen NU. And lastly, Hail isn't broken down here, sorry. :/We need NU, it's been a whole year. Anyone figuring out which mons are going in RU and which are going in NU? Also, I suggest a BL2 (between UU and RU) and a BL3 (between RU and NU) in order to ban Snover from RU and make the NU metagame playable.
Claydol and Xatu heavily disagree.Yanmega's is going to be a lot less popular once Blastoise goes to UU...just sayin'...
1. I thought Xatu was UU is it moving down? And even so Rhyperior sets up rocks all day even with Xatu because theres no way in hell Xatu is gonna switch in on a Rhyperior.Claydol and Xatu heavily disagree.
Didn't think about that derp...just looked at the RU stats. Then I guess removing Xatu will be a bit of an issue....Xatu will most likely move down but how is Rhyperior going to stop it since Rhyperior is possibly going to UU next update?
Yeah, it'll still be a problem though, since RU lacks a lot of the hard hitters in the upper tiers. To top it off you can't status Xatu thanks to it's ability, pair that with Roost and it's gonna end up being an issue.Not necessarily. Krookodile can switch in and pursuit it for a good chunk. Honchkrow can do the same. There are probably other options as well.
Synchronize and attacks like scald can still status him though :lYeah, it'll still be a problem though, since RU lacks a lot of the hard hitters in the upper tiers. To top it off you can't status Xatu thanks to it's ability, pair that with Roost and it's gonna end up being an issue.
Yeah that's really indirect and unreliable though. I'm not gonna carry a Synchronize user and try to switch it into a random toxic from Xatu and hope for the best lol. Scald yeah, its a shame its a more rare in RU though.Synchronize and attacks like scald can still status him though :l
