Why is his horn so big... and pointing straight up? Also how did we get from Aggron vs. Rypherior (for UU look alike contest) to Rhydon? And his large horn... Or nose... Because he has 2 horns/nosesHere is Rhydon:
Rhydon:
HP: 105
Attack: 130
Defense: 120
Sp. Attack: 40
Sp. Defense: 45
Speed: 45
If so, wouldn't it probably work better than Golem in UU? Though I'd probably prefer using Golem since its not the pre-evo of an OU if you know what I mean. Its seems kind of tricky and deceptive if I use Rhydon, but if its allowed, it seems better than Golem, though I wouldn't use it.
Porygon2 is probably the best NFE compared to its FE counterpart (NFE=Not Fully Evolved and FE=Fully Evolved). It's a definet OU pokemon too.Meh, I'm not a fan of NFEs that have no difference between their fully evolved counterparts (read: not Pikachu/Clamperl/Vigoroth etc.), but if NFEs are indeed allowed in UU, that would probably work better.
EDIT: woot epic 500th post
Probably, in biggest part, is from the beefing up of fighting types, especialy with the special type focus blast that could tear aggron to pieces.Rhydon was BL back in Advance. Why would it be UU now, especially with the advent of Stone Edge?
IMO, best demonstration of a NFE compared to its FE counterpart is either Scyther and Scizor or Vigoroth and Slaking. Porygon 2 is not a definite OU pokemon either. It was bl in advance, so it will continue to be bl in dp, even with the advent of an even more offensive metagame. Porygon 2 would be more like lower tier BL. While it is able to take a hit, it's stats are just not good enough. However, I digress on the subject on hand.Porygon2 is probably the best NFE compared to its FE counterpart (NFE=Not Fully Evolved and FE=Fully Evolved). It's a definet OU pokemon too.
Pikachu, with highest attacking stats in the game, says hi.Porygon2 is probably the best NFE compared to its FE counterpart (NFE=Not Fully Evolved and FE=Fully Evolved). It's a definet OU pokemon too.
You DID see the bit which said Rhydon right? And Aggron isn't really supposed to be walling special attacks, so thats out of the question.Probably, in biggest part, is from the beefing up of fighting types, especialy with the special type focus blast that could tear aggron to pieces.
I didn't realize you used your tanks to take hits it really doesn't want to be taking. These attacks should be switched out of. Yes rhyperior may be able to survive bulkydos waterfall and OHKO back but at what cost? 3/4 of its HP? No decent player would do that unless they were totally out of options. Aggron may not be able to survive 4x SE hits like rhyperior can, but both should be switching out of these anyway.OKok this looks like its becoming an arguement...
Why Aggron isnt the Rhyperior of UU.
1) In OU, the most common physical grass attack is SeedBomb which is still not quite common considering only Breloom gets it, therefore effectively cancelling off one of its 4x weaknesses. Rhyperior also survives a Seed Bomb and Focus Punch from Breloom.
2) Rhyperior survives a STAB Waterfall quite easily off Gryados and 1HKOS back with Stone Edge while Aggron takes 89.47% - 105.26% off a Sandslash Earthquake with the recommended 88 Att EVs. Anymore Att EVs should greatly increase the chance of a 1HKO.
So while Rhyperior is able to carry out its tanking duties in OU, Aggron fails to do so in UU. Thats why Aggron is not the Rhyperior of UU.
Erm ... not really. Aggron's main purpose is a a physical attacker who can phyiscally tank to a certain extent.Astrohawke
Aggron main purpose is as a physical wall while rhyperior's main purpose is as a physical attacker.
No, lets analyze this again. Aggron has a 4x weakness to Earthquake and Close Combat, the 2 most common physical attacks - they are also aided by the fact they have 100% accuracy. The fact that it resists the nearly non-existant Ice Punch, Zen Headbutt, Shadow Claw, and Dragon Claw is fairly meaningless because those attacks either aren't used ever or are on pokemon with either STAB fighting or STAB Water attacks, with the rare exception of a few Normal types that would switch out of Aggron anyway.I didn't realize you used your tanks to take hits it really doesn't want to be taking. These attacks should be switched out of. Yes rhyperior may be able to survive bulkydos waterfall and OHKO back but at what cost? 3/4 of its HP? No decent player would do that unless they were totally out of options. Aggron may not be able to survive 4x SE hits like rhyperior can, but both should be switching out of these anyway.
When it comes to tanking, we look at what it can resist and come in on safely. i.e. what it can actually wall and continue to wall without being totally owned after just 1 hit.
So lets compare rhyperior's resistances to aggrons.
Rhyperior
Immunity: electric
2x resist: normal, fire, flying, rock
4x resist: poison
Aggron
Immunity: poison
2x resist: Ice, flying, psychic, bug, rock, ghost, dragon, dark
4x resist: normal, flying
As you can see, aggron has a hell of a lot more resistances to come in on and help it wall than rhyperior making it a better physical tank overall.
But as I said, aggron cannot be compared to rhyperior just because both of them have two 4x weaknesses. Aggron main purpose is as a physical wall while rhyperior's main purpose is as a physical attacker.
yes because physical attackers it's coming in on are going to have hidden power.Erm ... not really. Aggron's main purpose is a a physical attacker who can phyiscally tank to a certain extent.
It is not a wall, and cannot stop UU's main phyiscal threats ... the only thing it walls completely are the Normal/Flying types and that's assuming they are not carrying a hidden power.
Exactly what choice item users is it coming in on ...? The most common CB users are Scyther, Nidoking and the Hitmon's all of which KO it if the player predict an Aggron switch in. And if the teams physical attackers aren't banded or scarfed?And it comes in on choice item users just fine in UU, fearing only 3/17 physical attacks.
