I've honestly liked Kartana a lot since the release of SM. Though I generally don't like choice items with knock off. I feel Kartana has more versatility then people give it credit for, more so with new USUMO moves. Multiple sets for Wallbreaking (ChoiceB/Z) Sweeping (SD) and Cleaning (ChoiceS) and beast boost can allow you to get a good snowball going.Anyone here tried band kartana it's been working well for me with knock off being able to weaken things like zap and celest and fighting/steel/grass coverage isn't that bad it really hurts if you can get the predictions right on it
My main problem is it's two base speed points shy of being an S tier threat. Its out speeded by most mons on hyper offense and too easily walled on defensively inclined and stall teams. That being said I've ripped through plenty of Bulky offense with this thing once it's checks are gone.
It's weakness to fighting and fire really hurt this guy theyre always carried as coverage on mons even if you face a team without any of these types against you.
Plus you have every Naga set with Fire/thrower so it's really not useful at the moment with that damn thing and it's damn speed beast boost.
