rhyhorn to snover

I'm using my vacation as an excuse for not testing and stuff; this is the second time I've been able to get online ;-;

Rhyhorn

-Rhyhorn didn't get a whole lot from bw2 and it wasn't a great Pokemon to begin with.
-Sand is better which helps I guess...
Revamp: The analyses is good enough for a mon that is rarely used.

Sandshrew

-It only really got Sand Rush, but that was enough to make it good :>
Revamp: Yeah, the new DW ability means we're dealing with an entirely new creature.

Scraggy

-Scraggy got a whole lot coverage attacks which could be nice as a fourth option on the DD set, especially the elemental punches (if blara mentions ice punch, hurt him n.n)
Revamp: The analyses could use an update for the new meta imo. The bulky set could definitely use a mention in OO and I'd even be willing to let prem's lo set have a set now u.u

Shellder

-Shellder got Iron defense, which could be a fun gimmick, but the only other attack that's notable is Icy Wind.
-I don't like Explosion on the scarf set, but that's not a big deal.
Revamp: Nah, it's fine

Shelmet

-Bug Bite makes a viable attacking option for anyone who hates Bug Buzz.
Revamp: Shelmet is still a one-trick-poney, no

Shroomish

-Nothing new to note outside of Foongus showing it's smiling face.
-It's mono-Grass typing does become nicer when trying to pick between the two little shrooms.
Revamp: The analyses seems to underestimate the effectiveness of Shroomish, so I'd be in favor of a revamp here.

Skorupi

-Aqua Tail could be nifty on a four attack set or something...
Revamp: I don't like the analyses much, but since Skorupi is probably around LC NU, any attempt to revamp this should have low priority. I would like to switch the two sets in SCMS once i get the time, though.

Slowpoke

-Slowpoke got Magic Coat, Wonder Room, and Signal Beam, which could be fun in the right situations. Unfortunately, they don't help the standard sets much.
-This analyses is from the days when Slowpoke was one of the best Pokemon in LC :c
Revamp: the on-site analyses is good enough

Smoochum

-The new toys Smoochum got are entirely supporting moves and it's just too frail to use them.
-For some reason, Blizzard isn't slashed with Ice Beam; that should be taken out of OO and be put in the set.
Revamp: It only used a scarf set in bw and bw2 is showing that it's doing more of the same :>

Snover

-Snover got nothing worth using u.u
-Al mentioned that an EV set of 36 HP / 24 Atk / 184 SAtk / 36 SDef / 200 Spd on the Choice Scarf set would be better than the one in place currently.
Revamp: Nope, it's a bit outdated, but SCMS can take care of that.

don't get mad at me for movepool stuff; this was hard to do offline x.x
