firehusky, Gimmick, and theurbandear wins this week :) Normally I'm reluctant to accept trappers because it's quite a mindless and somewhat overrated pairing but the explanation was sufficient this time haha.
This time I'm going with one of my new favourites:
This time I'm going with one of my new favourites:
Week 9 - Toxic Spikes Dragalge
Dragalge @ Draco Plate
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 228 HP / 252 SpA / 28 Spe OR 112 HP / 252 SpA / 140 Spe
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Sludge Wave
- Focus Blast
- Toxic Spikes
Boasting a good defensive typing, good utility in Toxic Spikes, and above all, a stellar ability in Adaptability, Dragalge defines wallbreaking. Additionally, it checks a few threats such as Clefable, Rotom-W, and Keldeo due to its typing, and has good coverage in Focus Blast to deal with Steel-types such as Ferrothorn, Magnezone, and Heatran. However, it is befallen by a lackluster Speed stat. It is also quite frail, and its typing is a double-edged sword as well, as it leaves it checked by the likes of Mega Metagross and Landorus.
This week, you may choose which spread you'd like to use for Dragalge. The first spread has enough Speed for Hippowdon, while the latter has enough for Clefable.
Discuss!
