1. Drilbur
Drilbur actually got Stealth Rock from the new tutors. Accordingly, and because Sandshrew sucks, I think it really needs a Stealth Rock / Rapid Spin set. 19 Attack and 16 Speed is damn good and differentiates it from Sandshrew. That's also the only Drilbur set that can be used outside of Sand. I used it on a Hail team and it's actually pretty good. The other two sets are fine as they are, but this one needs to be added.
Worth a revamp: Yes
2. Duskull
I will be honest and say I've never used a Duskull in my life. However, the only set I would probably recommend is:
Duskull (M) @ Eviolite Trait: Levitate
EVs: 196 HP / 196 Def / 116 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Please
- Use
- Misdreavus
- Instead
But aside from my obvious hatred of Duskull, it really didn't get anything important from the tutors. The set it has is fine. I just want more of a mention of Disable in the OO as that's the only thing it does better than Misdreavus. Also mention a (rofl) offensive choiced set with Trick since it got Trick, but that's still worse than Misdreavus. Mention it in the OO though.
LC Worthy: No
Worth a revamp: No
3. Ducklett
Ducklett didn't actually get anything useful at all from the tutors, and its status hasn't really changed whatsoever with the new threats. However, with the change in metagame (and because its Dream World ability is actually released........), Ducklett definitely needs a revamp. Due to the increase in Sand, Lileep, and Foongus, along with Ducklett's passable offenses and access to Hurricane, I think a Rain Dance set needs adding.
Ducklett (M) @ Eviolite Trait: Hydration
EVs: 20 HP / 244 SAtk / 236 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Rain Dance
- Hurricane
- Surf
- Rest
is what Elevator Music and I thought would be best. It's good at trolling Hippopotas, OHKOing Foongus / Shroomish / Chikorita (after a bit of previous damage / hazards), and doing overall cool things in the meta. Plus it can absorb sleep! It's kind of weak, but does enough cool things that I think it 100% needs a set, positioned as the #1 set on the analysis. And remove Choice Specs because Rain abuse is 100% better.
Worth a revamp: Yes
4. Dwebble
Uhhh...not much happened with Dwebble aside from Knock Off, which can replace the second attacking move on the Lead set. Switch the order of moves on the lead set (should be: Stealth Rock / Spikes / Rock Blast / whatever) and make the last slot Earthquake / X-Scissor / Knock Off imo. That's enough for that. Also, just reorder moves in the Shell Smash set too. Make it: Shell Smash / Rock Blast / Earthquake / X-Scissor or Stealth Rock. Rock Blast is just better than Stone Edge, and Stealth Rock can be used on Shell Smash Dwebble to surprise the opponent. It's actually not bad at all. Just move stuff around and remove Stone Edge / Bug Bite because they're garbage.
Worth a revamp: No
5. Elekid
Elekid didn't get anything useful at all--except Signal Beam!! Though that doesn't really do much aside for deserving a mention > HP Ice to hit Grass-type Pokemon harder in the mixed set. Electroweb is pretty cool too, but that just deserves a mention. However, I personally believe Elekid needs a Choice Scarf set now, because Choice Scarf Elekid outspeeds Jolly Sandshrew in the Sand and outspeeds Choice Scarf Murkrow, which is gaining popularity as it can counter Foongus. + STAB Volt Switch isn't bad, and good coverage etc. I think it wants a Choice Scarf set.
Worth a revamp: Yes
6. Elgyem
Seeing as this doesn't even have an analysis...and I've never used it...I don't really know. I mean, it got Gravity...and Trick? Like I legitimately don't even know where to begin with this thing, but I feel as if a Trick Room set is probably good. Analytic boosted moves on such a slow Pokemon is a pretty cool thing, I would think. Actually that's damn cool. Seeing as it doesn't have an analysis and Analytic is kind of kick ass for this thing, I'm thinking an Eviolite three attack + Recover set is freaking necessary.
Worth a
n analysis revamp: Yes
7. Exeggcute
It got nothing. Nothing changed for it at all. Period. I just think Sunny Day needs to be the main slash over HP Fire on its Sunny Day set, but that's just because I find trolling Hippopotas / Snover incredibly important. And honestly, it doesn't need a dedicated Sunny Day abuse set. So either that can be removed, or Sunny Day is made the first slash and the first move, and the moves are reordered to: Sunny Day / Giga Drain / Psychic / Sleep Powder or HP Fire @ Life Orb. That should be it.
Worth a revamp: No
8. Ferroseed
I think the Ferroseed analysis is absolutely outdated, and with the Stealth Rock tutor allowing Ferroseed to run Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Leech Seed all on the same set...YES! Ferroseed is super damn bulky and definitely needs some changes to fit in with the metagame. I personally believe it should be more physically bulky, and for the moves to be: Stealth Rock / Spikes / Leech Seed / Bullet Seed, but I'll finalize that decision after testing it more / confirmation with fellow QCers.
Worth a revamp: Yes
9. Foongus
Regenerator
Worth a revamp: Yes
10. Frillish
The Life Orb set is stupid, so remove that. Frillish finally got Trick! So that should probably be part of the Choice Scarf set (which actually isn't half bad!) Magic Coat should be added to the OO. I honestly think the bulky set is fine as is.
Worth a revamp: No
