I've recently got back into RU after the tier shifts, and there are two Pokemon that I've absolutely fallen in love with that are pretty underrated and not used enough. Of course, SilentVerse will kill me after saying this but dgaf xD. Crawdaunt is a beastly force in the RU metagame, as it can tear through the majority of the metagame with it's Adaptability-boosted STABs. The other threat is Scyther. I've been using a Choice Band variant, and boy does it hit hard. STAB U-Turn is nothing to laugh at, especially as there aren't too many Bug resists in the metagame. If you pair Scyther with a good rapid spinner such as Hitmonchan, it can easily punch holes in your opponents team by battering them with repeated U-Turns. Another small note is that I've found VoltTurn to be somewhat prominent in RU with users such as the aforementioned Scyther, as well as Lanturn, Manectric, and many more. Quite the annoying tactic if you lack a Volt Absorber / Ground-type / Bug resist.
