And Ghosts tend to be immune to rapid spin, but can also set up screens, rocks and calm mind
Those are all the moves they can learn.So is this all the moves the mons can learn? Or is there will potentially more? (like egg moves)
Which in turn implies that Gigantamax is more likely to apply to all Melmetal transferred in this way, unless the Gigantamax Melmetal is meant to be event exclusive... but then, they seem to be removing event exclusives from the data.That's... a good question. It doesn't look like it, there's no evolution note under Meltan in the pastebin like there is for other mons, so it seems like its evolution may still be Pokemon Go exclusive and you need to transfer over from home?
For what its worth, Hustle gives Flapple the highest attack of any Dragon-type (with hustle, Flapple has 478 attack with a neutral nature, while Mega Rayquaza has 459).I can't get over how much better Appletun is compared to Flapple. The former gets a solid stat distribution, a good defensive movepool with decent offensive options and two great abilities. Flapple on the other hand has a terrible stat spread, no way to hit Steels at all (why does Appletun get EQ but not Flapple >_>) and an unreliable HA.
Not sure if I can agree with the comparison between Dragapult and seed boost Blaziken, but I see what you are trying to say. I didn't say Dragapult is bad though.dunno about that. honestly think dragapult has tons of potential as well.
DD set with baton pass is going to be so goddamn annoying.
I think this thing might kind of be like an SD+BP blaziken with speed boost.
Either way, I'm def trying out DD+BP set for dragapult
Behemoth Slice (or whatever the sig move is called)/Play Rough/Sacred Sword/Crunch will do fine.Zacian will suffer from 4MSS.
Sacred Sword is your best bet against Zamazenta, Close Combat against many steels like Excadrill, Crunch against Aegislash... You still lack coverage against many mons, like Corviknight. A move like Fire Fang might be interesting for its secondary effects which make stalling him harder and you get more power with Dynamax.
Galarian-Darmanitan can trigger Zen Mode (and immediately take excellent advantage of it) with Belly Drum. The thing has the potential to be a monster in whatever tier it ends up in.What are we thinking about Zen Mode Galar Darmanitan?
Not bad, its stats are pretty good and it can land some good hits with the Signature - but still, it misses some important things like a good physical Ghost STAB (at least not as "easy" to counter as Phantom Force) and some coverage. Personally, I think Acrobatics, Steel Wing and Psychic Fangs are a bit to less for good coverage.Not sure if I can agree with the comparison between Dragapult and seed boost Blaziken, but I see what you are trying to say. I didn't say Dragapult is bad though.
Zacian will get banned inmediatly, it has no purpose in OU so I don't know why are we talking about hitting Excadrill.Zacian will suffer from 4MSS.

Just because it would get banned to Ubers, doesn't mean Exca couldn't be present in Ubers.Zacian will get banned inmediatly, it has no purpose in OU so I don't know why are we talking about hitting Excadrill.
Still, Venusaur is going to love Weather Ball more then Leafeon, but I see your pointTM Weatherball is very interesting, and Leafeon gets it! Sure, it has bad SpA, but with Sun and Life Orb, it can actually threaten Ferrothorn and some other Steel Pkm! The fact it gets Solar Blade is another plus!
Exca isn't a counter. A counter is a Pokémon that can reliably switch in and either kill the opponent or force him out by winning the 1v1. A Pokémon that, as a check, gets blown up by literally anything that Zacian's clic is what it is. Also, if we were assumming a 1v1 scenario with Sand Rush, why would we even bother in calcing if Excal would outspeed Zacian 100% of the time and hit him with EQ.Just because it would get banned to Ubers, doesn't mean Exca couldn't be present in Ubers.
Tyranitar and Exca are still a menace.
Excadrill typically sees Ubers play, hence why it was mentioned.Zacian will get banned inmediatly, it has no purpose in OU so I don't know why are we talking about hitting Excadrill.
I don't see Tyranitar having a niche in ubers. Half of the existing ubers ignore sandstorm damage, and Tyranitar just doesn't have enough bulk to survive there when Zacian, Zamazenta and Necrozma-DM can effortlessly annihilate it.Just because it would get banned to Ubers, doesn't mean Exca couldn't be present in Ubers.

Problem with original Zen Mode was that it slowed Darmanitan down while also switching Atk with SpA, which made the first 50% HP almost useless ( except with a weird mixed set I guess).What are we thinking about Zen Mode Galar Darmanitan?
New Item Blunder Policy: Raises Speed sharply when a Pokemon misses with a move because of accuracy.For what its worth, Hustle gives Flapple the highest attack of any Dragon-type (with hustle, Flapple has 478 attack with a neutral nature, while Mega Rayquaza has 459).
