Dugtrio is alright, it's not bad per say, but it's just not good. It lacks bulk, is weak, and has a small niche that I'm not sure deserves a ranking. What can it effectively trap and kill in the first place anyways? If I want a trapper I'll go to
ProbopassMagnezone, not Dugtrio. I mean, it may have some key niches I'm missing, but I don't see anything that makes it worthy of a rank above C- honestly.
The Eevee General - what do you see in this? It doesn't necessarily gain anything and is easily setup on by like everything, and Fake Out + ES completely screws it over. Trapping Heatran is cute and all but I'd rather use something like say Diggersby to force it out and setup or something, Dugtrio just isn't great. Leaving it
Unranked is my opinion.
Hmm, Steelix is interesting. It's got some cool niches, but I raise this to you: Why use this over Heatran? Heatran isn't that afraid of Magnezone either, can set Stealth Rock, and has an overall better typing. Plus King's Shield to make up for Defense. Sure, Diggersby is a thorn in Heatran's side, so that's a cool perk that Steelix has. And Spikes is cool as well. Heatran can also Roar to phase and has Lava Plume over Steelix. Surely it's outclassed, it's not really worth it imo. I mean, D Rank is nice for it, but tbh I just don't see this as a 'threat'. Think of it like this, new users could come here and say:
"o look, steelix, i love steelix. hmm, it's ranked, it must be able to be used!" When in reality it's not amazing. I'd prefer to leave this
Unranked.
I like Starmie. I don't see why to use it over Slowking, though. Speed is neat, but other than that it doesn't have much going for it. Ranking it would be a good idea imo, but, again, my biggest concern is how outclassed it is by Slowking. Specs Starmie sounds intriguing though because it can use Water Spout as well and break through Venu and Amoonguss, so that's another niche it has. Analytic and Natural Cure are neat toys as well and both offer their positive quirks. Would also like to point out that Starmie has a very nice Speed tier, outspeeding like everything relevant and even outspeeding Thundurus to hit it hard with whatever you'd like. So, I think Starmie deserves
C+ to start.
Mega Heracross is so cool o3o. Mega Heracross has a fantastic Attack, great bulk, but mediocre Speed. It's so versatile though o3o. Swords Dance U-turn hits like a truck and confused most people but after some brief testing it showed its worth. Smacking around a counter and getting into a counter to the supposed counter is so amazing. Mach Punch is usable as well and Drain Punch, or even High Jump Kick. Someone even posted Sticky Web Heracross! It's definitely viable and needs to be ranked. Mega Heracross goes to town on most things and its wide movepool enable it to be quite a large threat. For these reasons, I think Mega Heracross is deserving of
B, while regular Heracross should be
C+.
The Eevee General - Why are you hyping Heracross over Mega Heracross?
