Thats true but so does every other sweeper, Regigigas just needs a good amount of support, If you spot an unaware mon just switch.the problem with that regigigas set is that harvest does nothing to help gigas beat the standard ways to counter bdslaking/gigas. It still loses to rhydon, and unaware mons, and has trouble with imposters if the sub isnt up.
I dont know what to say other than... no....Honestly harvest is an incredible ability for BH sun and is a game changer in almost every match.
Admittedly Sun is hard to fit in a BH team but if done properly, it can work wonders.I dont know what to say other than... no....
firstly im not sure whether or not sun is worth it. I have yet to see a successful sun team, although on paper it looks potentially decent, and ive been meaning to try it. secondly, harvest just doesnt offer that much utility. harvest sitrus berry offers no healing until you're under 50%, and even then it only gets you up to 75% maximum. The healing against imposter is nice, but when you can neither set up nor sweep against things other than imposter, its just not worth it. Your set also has absolutely no way of dealing with whirlwind/roar, and can only take dtails after it has gained a cosmic power, both of which are problems for any bh set up sweeper.
While poison heal is good its not actually better then harvest with sun support admittedlyits not exactly reliable. But other sets like sterdninja are even less reliable, sand is seen seldomly. As long as sun is up it outclasses poison heal in most ways.Funny enough, I used a Sap Sipper Tyranitar a long long time ago which was meant to beat Spore and Stored Power users, and would definitely beat this. But it wasn't that good in the long run, so I dropped it.
Harvest still isn't a reliable ability though. Any opponent with a weather team that's not Sun (which is most of them) will cut it's effectiveness by half. A better item+ability combo would be Toxic Orb + Poison Heal. You can switch in on Toxic Spikes without worry, you won't have to worry about keeping a Sub up to prevent status, and you'll always restore health regardless of the weather or whether you're below half HP or not.
Snatch actually copies a ton of things. It's too bad it doesn't copy Taunt though, that would be pretty devastating.Smogon said:Snatch enables the user to steal the target's move and use its effect on itself, instead of the intended recipient. A move cannot be stolen multiple times. This move has a priority of +4, so will always go before any move that can be Snatched. The moves that can be taken by Snatch include: all stat-boosting moves (eg. Swords Dance), all recovery moves (eg. Recover, Ingrain, Recycle), all effect-changing moves (eg. Magnet Rise, Power Trick, Reflect), and certain protection moves. Substitute, Lucky Chant, Wide Guard, and Quick Guard can all be Snatched, but Protect and Detect cannot. Acupressure cannot be Snatched. Imprison can be Snatched, but Taunt and other such moves cannot. Aromatherapy, Heal Bell, Healing Wish, and Lunar Dance can all be Snatched. Helping Hand cannot be Snatched. This move cannot be blocked by Substitute.
rhydon is actually a good bit bulkier than regirock, but the advantage of regirock is that it doesnt have the 4x weaknesses to grass or water, which makes it less likely that a surprise move will kill your weather starter.Why do people prefer Regirock with Sand Stream as opposed to Rhydon? They have more or less the same defenses (if Rhydon has Eviolite which it should) and Rhydon's attack stat is much higher.
Its probably because Rhydon has crippling weaknesses unlike Regirock.Why do people prefer Regirock with Sand Stream as opposed to Rhydon? They have more or less the same defenses (if Rhydon has Eviolite which it should) and Rhydon's attack stat is much higher.
Have you even been playing the metagame these days? Archeops wrecks, and Groudon or Rhydon CANNOT fit in a rain team. No offense, but Lugia faces defeat against Archeops.Archeops and kyurem-b common what.... Anyways youre better off using lugia, as kyurem-b still cant muscle through bold lugia iirc, and lugia has better overall typing and bulk and speed. Also any unaware mon needs magic coat to avoid getting taken out of the game by the omnipresent spore
