People like to invent monsters and monstrosities
Nomming galvantula up to B/B+ (shoutouts to YABO for planting idea in my head)
I believe this has been brought up in former VRs but never actually moved up, so i might just end up repeating points. So playing against the offensive lo variant of this mon is actually really annoving for offense and balance as its dual stab proves to be incredibly hard to switch into, not to mention having grass coverage to hit grounds such as donphan, pert, and mamo quite a bit harder. The main niches this mon possesses over heliolisk cant just be overlooked as many people seem to do and scream "WHY ARE YOU USING GALV HELIOS BETTER." These include access to sticky web which is a very unique entry hazard that only galvantula possess while having a strong offensive presence at the same time, and having accurate thunders to make up in the power gap between it and helio.
252 SpA Life Orb Galvantula Thunder vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Blissey: 148-175 (20.7 - 24.5%)
252 SpA Life Orb Heliolisk Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Blissey: 133-156 (18.6 - 21.8%)
