The most-used set in RU is also very effective in UU. Kabutops can beat every spinblocker in RU one-on-one after one swords dance boost, which is not too hard to obtain considering the amount of choiced fire types that reside in UU. After one swords dance, kabutops STAB stone edge easily smashes through cofagrigus, sableye and sucky dusclops. Against faster ghosts which can KO it before it stone edges, kabutops easily OHKOs chandelure, mismagius and rotom with aqua jet. After spinning, kabutops can even weaken the oppositions' team mid-game or clean up late-game. Kabutops is easily the best spinner in UU. |
For what it's worth, a Swords Dance Stone Edge does 85% max to tank Cofagrigius, who then Burns you. Dusclops is a similar story. It can definitely cut through Ghosts, but you can't both beat a bulky ghost and do anything else with your Kabutops.
Aqua Jet actually only does about 64% max to Froslass after a Swords Dance, and since it's faster, if Cursed Body kicks in, it can start the turn by Pain Splitting.
The SashSD set is a joke - especially because you told us to watch out for Ferroseed (!)
