Okay, I know it's been a little while since I submitted any entries, but I'm still alive, just a little bit busy. As a matter of fact, here's Donphan. Slowbro's here too.
Donphan
Typing: Ground
Base Stats: 90 HP / 120 Atk / 120 Def / 60 SpA / 60 SpD / 50 Spe
Ability: Sturdy / Sand Veil (Unreleased)
Donphan’s roles are limited, but it is extremely effective at what it does. Donphan is one of the most effective support Pokemon in the UU tier thanks to its access to Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin, its outstanding Physical bulk, and its enormous attack stat, which complements its use of STAB Earthquake. Due to the importance of Rapid Spin in UU, Donphan’s ability to use it effectively cements its status as one of the most common Pokemon in UU. Although its typing leaves something to be desired defensively, its decent Base HP and excellent Base Defense make up for its shortage of useful resistances. However, Donphan is not limited to a defensive role, as its impressive Base Attack, good offensive typing, and access to solid coverage moves and priority such as Head Smash, Stone Edge, Ice Shard, and Seed Bomb all allow it to use a Choice Band effectively. Although Seed Bomb sounds like a strange choice, it allows Donphan to 2HKO the bulky Water-types that would otherwise wall it. Donphan is one of the most prevalent Pokemon throughout the UU tier, and as such is a Pokemon that every team should be able to handle.
Slowbro
Typing: Water / Psychic
Base Stats: 95 HP / 75 Atk / 110 Def / 100 SpA / 80 SpD / 30 Spe
Ability: Oblivious / Own Tempo / Regenerator
In a tier as full of bulky Water-types as UU, any bulky Water-type vying for usage needs to have some way of differentiating itself from the other bulky Water-types in the tier in order to earn a slot on a team. In Slowbro’s case, its Psychic typing and access to the Regenerator ability allow it to stand out from among the myriad of bulky Water-types available in UU. In addition to impressive defensive stats, the Regenerator ability, and top-notch defensive typing that sports six useful resistances, Slowbro has access to instant recovery and an excellent support movepool that includes moves such as Thunder Wave and Toxic. It also possesses good neutral and super effective coverage between its STAB moves and other coverage options such as Flamethrower, Fire Blast, and Ice Beam. Slowbro can also check certain other threats with Calm Mind, relying on its amazing Physical bulk to take hits while boosting its respectable Special Attack stat and decent Special Defense stat in order to take on Pokemon that it ordinarily couldn’t. Finally, Slowbro can set up Trick Room and is one of the best Pokemon for the job, since its bulk and access to Regenerator allow it to switch in several times throughout the match in order to set up Trick Room.
I noticed that I've written the entries for most of the bulky Water-types in UU and 15.6 per cent of the entries on the UU Threat List. What can I say? This is fun, and I like Water-types.
Pending approval of these two, I would like to reserve
Tangrowth. Since Amarillo reserved
Shaymin as I was editing this post earlier, I'm going to reserve
Rotom-C in Shaymin's place.
