Imo tauros is a legit C+ mon. Like, I really think so.Imo tauros is a legit B mon. Like, I really think so.
The reason is p simple. He has the tools he needs to beat any kind of threat that would otherwise threaten or stop him. You can use him however you see fit and he might just be the second best mix attacker in the tier, with Zoroark being the obvious best, and the combination of incredible speed, impressive and deceptive power, and amazing coverage makes him absolute hell to deal with. With the ability Sheer Force, he is an absolutly terrifying wallbreaker, being able to 2hko most mons with Rock Climb aside from resists and insanely bulky mons like alol and gligar. And even then, you can tailor him to beat most of his counters by abusing his deceptive special power.
Lets get back to his speed though... he outspeeds the entire unboosted tier bar jolteon, dugtrio and sceptile, allowing him to be a natural revenge killer and sweeper. Imo he is the deo-s of RU with great speed, AMAZING mix coverage options and, again, underestimated power.
i dont have any replays (mainly cuz i cant play at all these days) but i still believe he is a huge threat and B worthy.
The reason is p simple. It has an extreme case of 4mss, pitiful SpA (base 40 is horrible). I get its boosted by Sheer Force/Life orb, but it is still horrible. Tauros can run any of: Rock Climb, Earthquake, Zen Headbutt, Fire Blast, Rock Slide, Ice beam. You can MAYBE argue thunderbolt can be used for aloma, but it still hits piss weak. It really can't touch Ghost types, Banette, Cofag can burn it. It is most certainly not a wallbreaker, it is solely a revenge killer. Fire Blast literally cant 2HKO Escavalier (AV), and does less to Abomasnow than Rock slide would. The only thing it hits are Tangrowth and Durant, maybe doublade.
0- SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Tauros Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Eviolite Doublade: 138-164 (42.8 - 50.9%) -- 3.1% chance to 2HKO
Might as well use Earthquake since it also 3HKOs and is more reliable.
Ice beam hits gligar...thats it.
Earthquake/Rock Climb are mandatory. Fire blast seems that way too i suppose. this leaves you one last slot, Zen Headbutt, Ice beam, or Rock Slide. Zen headbutt is pretty crucial since it hits fighting types, and weezing notably. but then you're hard walled by gligar. If you dont run zen headbutt you're very susceptible to weezing, amoongus, fighting types, Either way its not a wallbreaker, just a revenge killer with its stellar 110 speed. (You also say the only things faster are Sceptile, Jolteon, and Dugtrio. Accelgor Ninjask and Electrode say hi, even thought they're not really the best lol.) Not to mention most things running a scarf can outspeed..
You call the mix coverage AMAZING..its not. You call it the second best mixed attacker....very far from it. The coverage is p bad and 40 is awful for a mixed attacker.
You call it the Deo-S of RU...Don't know what you're talking about. Its slower than lots of mons, and also is way way less versatile. There's a reason Deo-S was banned from OU, Tauros isnt even close to this.
Either way you're giving this bull way too much credit. There's a reason this pokemon is NU.
