Ok. Lowered the stats again. Uber low BSTs FTW. At max, he gets 740 in each stat which isn't particularly terrifying (SpD about as high as Claydol with 2 Cosmic Powers).

Linoone has Belly Drum, and a base 70 Attack stat, yet is still NU and stopped dead by things like Aggron and Steelix.

When I figure out the movepool of this thing, I'll make sure to give it a limited choice of attacks and stuff. Analysis first...

Turn 1. Protect. 278 in all stats (except Hp). Not particularly terrifying. Opponent switches into counter (if he or she is smart).

Turn 2. Go for sub. 278 speed, however, is not exactly blindingly fast, as is 278 defenses aren't too high. Good chance to KO now. Assuming that opponent fails to make the move...

Turn 3. Protect. Stats are now 555. Now you're in trouble. Opponent had better have priority or he's screwed.

Turn 4. Sub. GG.

Viron is one of those pokes who are really difficult to play, but once set up, devastatingly strong. Put this one in the pile with Regigigas, Slaking, etc.
