pikachu is pretty much the literal definition of a glass cannon. it's also why i'm still questioning whether its actually /worth/ to give up lightningrod for extremespeed, because the electric immunity allows pikachu to actually offer some form of defensive synergy other than just "that random shit that dies'. it's a stretch, considering dragonair is the only other pokemon with extremespeed and it's not as strong as pikachu's. still, it offers the best special attack in the tier: it beats duosion by 10 points after factoring in light ball. the only thing about pikachu is that it can't have 252 evs in atk, spA and spe at the same time, which does limit his potential. it's good, but overpowered/broken? probably not. mind you, without light ball pikachu is probably one of the shittiest pokemon in the tier lol
doublade is love, doublade is life, doublade wrecks shit under sticky web it's not even funny. ok, maybe sticky web is a lot of support since it pretty much forces you to run swadloon (shitmon, can't even leech seed WTF??). but still, shadow sneak off 110 atk hits pretty hard, and it's also amazingly bulky to boot. easily my new favorite lol
