Aight, after looking at the builder and marinating my thoughts, here's my review of the subs
- The best Pokemon added. It is extremely efficient with its high Special Attack and utility options in Taunt, Toxic and Stealth Rock. I honestly believe that Fire Blast is better on it here than Magma Storm, because of the accuracy and you don't need to necessarily trap opponents. However, the extra power and especially the chip is nice. I can also see it running Rock Slide to get rid of Ho-Oh fast, although Toxic is better if you're not running offense. It will probably be the best Pokemon in the tier, since it forces Cacturne and Gastly to run Fighting coverage and every Pokemon that is walled by it, needs Ground coverage now. 8/10
- Simple and effective sub. It struggles with Venusaur, and Venusaur is also improved by this slate, but it can simply Flip Turn out. The speed stat is also nice, forcing Magneton to run Timid to outspeed. Water Veil is also useful defensively, if you really need to switch into Ho-Oh's Sacred Fire or Lanturn's Scald. Now, these are still strong attacks and Floatzel fucking dies if you cough at it, but it can do that and in some situations it's useful. 7/10
- I really saw nothing in this Pokemon and I still do not see anything in it. I get what it is supposed to do, however I think it falls flat, because we got another Electric that does similar things and does them better and the way that it is a mixed attacker is really awkward and not useful. Lion's Pride is worse than I thought because you have to spread your resources. If you go full special and the Venusaur has lower defense, then you use your uninvested Physical attack. Not to mention that it really has a 4MSS. It wants STABs and from there on it wants Flamethrower, Ice Fang, Psychic Fangs and Volt Switch, plus it only has Earth Power, so not Earthquake, meaning that it has to be mixed with Psychic Fangs or Ice Fang, so it can hit Venusaur and Garchomp respectively, so it needs to do less speed, which especially sucks cause it's not bulky, or less attack meaning that Psychic Fangs or Ice Fang don't do much against their targets. 3/10, I really have so much more to say but I want to finish this.
- This is a solid Pokemon. The speed is nice because you outrun important Pokemon like Gengar, Latias, Raikou and Gardevoir. SD is nice for wallbreaking and TankChomp sets have a really solid speed stat for a fast set, which is nice because it checks a lot of Pokemon naturally and with Rocky Helmet + Rough Skin racks up a lot of damage and it allows you to check stuff like Cacturne, Absol, Mewtwo, Luxray, Floatzel, Ho-Oh, Ursaring and Machamp, even if you take heavy damage since you outrun all of them except Absol. I really like this mon and it is ripe with potential. 8/10
- Like with Luxray, I don't see the appeal in it, but it is a lot better than Luxray. Speed Boost sets are probably the worst sets you can run, because you are unable to freely spam your STAB, especially Aeroblast. However, to be fair, the best checks to Yanmega like Regirock, Ho-Oh and Latias do not resists its STABs, except for Aeroblast on Regirock. Meaning that Speed Boost has legitimate use even though Tinted Lens is still better in my opinion. I, personally, dislike the addition of Earth Power because it makes it harder to deal with and it is a potentially volatile Pokemon that gets out of hand if you give it one turn. 5/10
- My favourite sub out of all. The special bulk is appreciated and gives us needed counterplay against Gengar, Gastly, Latias, Raikou and Starmie. The lack of recovery sucks, but Switcheroo, Taunt, Toxic, Toxic Spikes and Swords Dance are all really nice and STAB Knock Off is always great. Checking Absol and Cacturne is also nice, but with the addition of Heatran, a lot of Pokemon like Venusaur, will run Ground coverage so it has a harder time to to get in, but it should still have a really solid place in the meta. 8/10
- This one pulls of the idea of an Electric mixed attacker better. It decides what category its moves have and thus it can EV much better. The lower speed is really wack for it, but it is much stronger with Iron Fist or Neuroforce boosts. It still has a 4MSS. It wants Psychic for Venusaur, Ice Beam for Garchomp, Grass Knot for Lanturn and Quagsire, Earthquake for Raikou, Knock Off for general coverage and its STABs. Not to mention it has solid utility moves with Taunt, Toxic and, if you're insane, Teleport. It has its significant issues but with the right moveset, it can steamroll through a team. 6/10
I give this slate a 6.4/10. Overall a solid slate but not my favourite.
