I was thinking about my team, and I'm considering putting a Pinsir on it to counter opening Weaviles....I ran some numbers on Marriland's calculator and I got these results:
Assuming Weavile has a + Atk nature (Some of them don't), I had it use AA on a Pinsir with ~260 Defense, which is for a neutral nature.
I got:
Min Max Avg
125.47 147.45 136.46
....If Weavile doesn't have a + Atk item. So nope, no OHKO, and then Pinsir comes back with Close Combat, which does about 600+ damage if Pinsir has ~370 attack and Weavile has ~230 Defense. So that's a mega-1HKO to Weavile and if AA is Weavile's strongest offense against Pinsir, then it can't OHKO it, barring a Critical Hit.
With Life Orb on Weavile...137 damage x 1.3 = 178.1 damage maximum. STILL not a 1HKO. Weavile can 2HKO Pinsir at best. Pinsir has a 100 base Defense, mind you, which fends off it's main physical threats pretty well. Also, Life Orb might not be seen on as many Weaviles because of all this damn Sandstorm abuse...
So what do you guys think?
