    Braviary (Update) (GP 2/2)

    kacaw4america [Overview] <p>One of the most dangerous offensive threats in NU, Braviary is a force to be reckoned with. Along with its powerful moves and high Attack, it packs a surprising amount of versatility; for instance, its Bulk Up set gives bulkier teams problems while its Choice Band...

    Hitmonchan (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>In a tier filled with many viable Fighting-type Pokemon, Hitmonchan struggles to stand out. Hitmonchan often finds itself weaker, slower, or frailer than other Fighting-types, and in some cases all three. It is also flawed as a Rapid Spin user, as it cannot handle spinblockers...

    Samurott (Update) (GP 2/2)

    yeah. I only made one real change of slash Grass Knot over Hidden Power Grass because all the Water-types in the tier weigh a lot except Lanturn and Qwilfish, which you aren't beating anyway (Hydro Pump does more to Qwilish than HP Grass lol).
