This CAPmon will have interesting interaction with other weather teams.
Rain:
- Hit hard to Starmie is pretty good, like Venusaur without that surprising psychic o psyshock weakness (only need to watch from ice-beam), killing Jellicent is good too
- When i see a Dragonite in rain normally you can wait Thunder/Hurricane, that Stab Hurricane can be deadly, thats why this CAPmon work good with sun, reducing the hit of Hurricane (I can´t think in another Flying Stab that can be this deadly)
- Toxicroak is important because he can be a counter, with Stab Drain-punch or Close-combat, i never see a Toxi with a Poison Stab (Venusar can be a switch check if Toxi don´t have Ice-punch)
- Tentacruel i have seen this guy in rain, sand and non-weather teams, it never used Sludge-bomb can be the only danger, maybe with a life orb ice-beam or your own giga-drain XD
This is interesting because this maybe can make the rain teams to use one move slot in a Poison Stab with Toxi or Tenta
Sand:
- Either Tyranitar and Hyppowdon can be very scare of this CAPmon... only a close-combat Tyranitar?... this is gold, killing the sand starters and helping Ninetales vs this guys
- With Terrakion no matter if we can kill it with a Grass Stab if he use close-combat, and normally it will when you change for counter he can use Sub making it harder to kill
- Skarmory can use Brave-bird or set hazard one of the most predicable pkmn but effective. I see that some people want a spinner CAPmon, so battle vs Skarmy can be very currents
Others
- With the rare Hail, finally a pokemon that Abomasnow can hit or Blizzard attackers
- Alakazam with his speed and Focus-blast can be dangerous no matter the Dark type, or other pkmn with no weakness to Grass/Dark Hydreigon with Focus-blast and U-turn or Lucario with Aura-sphere, even Infernape... And remember that Latios can Draco-meteor to death
- This CAPmon will always be in danger because almost all teams have powerful Ice and Fighting attacks and is split between Atk and SpA
- But the most important of all things... this CAPmon can help Ninetales to survive with checks, counters and maybe spin... this is very important when you want to win vs a Politoed in weather
We need to know more stuffs to make a better idea of the metagame... like stats and moves, it can be defensive or offensive (even if he is hit with Atk or SpA so we can imagine vs Blissie), he can have Spore or Extreme-speed, the abilitys maybe Rattled or Chlorophyll (imagine with Drought XD). The real analysis is just starting
Sorry for long post and bad english :P
