BAN
Ok, this Lizard needs to go. And I will explain reasons by comparing other Pinsirite users:
Genesect:
* 120 Atk, 120 Spa, 99 Spe
* Hasty nature is mandated with Extreme Speed due to legality issues with 95 Defense.
* Main weapon: Extreme Speed, Explosion, Techno Blast, Iron Head, U-turn, Ice Beam, etc.
*
Set-up Move: Shift Gear
I used to run this guy for surprise factor so please don't hate?
Zygarde:
* 100 Atk, unusable SpA, 95 Spe
* 121 Defense allows somewhat easier setup.
* Main weapon: Extreme Speed, Return / Frustration, Thousand Arrows / Waves, Stone Edge, etc.
*
Set-up Move: Dragon Dance
Entei:
* 115 Atk, unviable 90 SpA, 100 Spe
* Vomits blood on Stealth Rock and loses its eyeball on SR switch after Mega Evolution (25% dmg -> 50% dmg from Stealth Rock).
* Main Weapon: Sacred Fire, Extreme Speed, Stone Edge, Bulldoze(?), etc.
*
Set-up Move: Howl(...)
...
Now lets compare all three guys with...
Dragonite:
*
134 Atk, 100 SpA, 80 Spe
*
Access to Multiscale before Mega Evo, 95 Def, 100 SpD, Ground immunity
* Main weapon: Extreme Speed, Earthquake, Stone Edge, Return / Frustration, Fire / Thunder / Ice Punch, etc.
...
If you are not convinced yet, here's my thought:
Accessibility to Extreme Speed.
Multiscale that allows Dragonite to set up in front of its mutual counter, including support Arceus forms.
Highest Atk stat among all 'mons with Extreme Speed that are allowed to hold Mega Stone.
Also,
while Genesect has more versatility than other two, it is usually walled by Venusaurite Zapdos that is everywhere.
Zygarde-C can use Stone Edge, but it usually suffers from 4 moveslot syndrome. Using Thousand Arrows twice? It usually gives Zapdos a momentum to use U-turn before it can be super effectively hit.
Entei has better Atk with Stone Edge but has no viable set-up moves.
But Dragonite?
134 Atk grants it the strongest wallbreaking potency, and it can run Adamant nature in addition thanks to Dragon Dance making up its Speed.
As mentioned, it can set up in front of its potential counter thanks to its decent bulk paired with Multiscale.
If you argue this can be solved by setting Stealth Rock... you are not aware that Sablenite and Absolite is in every competitive MnM teams.
Access to Earthquake means Steel types with the exception of Skarmory and Celesteela cannot wall Dragonite.
Stone Edge,
although it has 20% accuracy if you are not a premiere Showdown user that bribed programmers , hits Zapdos like a truck, especially at +1. With a little prior damage and Stealth Rock, it will die.
So Dragonite has,
arguably best set-up move (Shift Gear is just signature move for certain robots),
access to Extreme Speed,
high attack of 134,
and wide movepool.
So please get this thing f out of MnM ASAP.
Also it doesn't always go for Pinsirite. Some surprise factors run Glaitite or Absolite.
This is my second post in this thread so I might not know much. What do you guys think?
