Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
But zebstrika is in offensive water checks you fraud (kidding). Evire comes in for free on lanterns volt switch and eqs. It also has switch ins on rare stuff like hurricane pelli, choiced ice beams, etc
1. Sawk doesn't really want to click zen+eq too much. It normally just clicks knock off and cc. 2. Hitmonchan and shiftry are beaten by garbodor, skunk is a bit more tricky but with drain punch you wear it down to the point where it can no longer come in and defog. So Garbo keeps it hazards up...
E-vire in water checks? It checks all the bulky waters in the tier with wild charge+volt switch+earthquake, it struggles against stuff like simipour and floatzel but that's why it's just a check
It has an opportunity cost because it's forced to be with mega Zard which is the guaranteed partner. So if you use venu, your mega slot is gone thanks to zard and shit like keldeo and azumarill ( on your respective side) can't spam hydro pump and waterfall.

The dark lord is my favorite character from the youtuber filthy franks content. (He has over 1mil subs). Filthy franks content is great and I would like to embrace that I love it.

Why are people hyping up regular venusaur like its S rank. It only gets like 3 turns to abuse sun. Without eq it's walled by heatran, without knock off its walled by gengar, without hp fire it's walled by ferro and skarm. It just doesn't seem worth it because you can only use 1 specific mega...
Lol when are you going to click gunk shot against offense? Knock off is a better move than gunk shot. By that logic you can only get a drain punch or two on pert then die to earthquake. Btw croak and absol both have very shitty bulk but absol has a much better speed tier and it has no life orb...
I don't really see toxicroak on an A- level, with the likes of Infernape on kyurem. If virtually does nothing against faster sucker resists and slower gunk shot resists. It get worn down quickly with life and drain punch is super weak. Most of that coverage never sees the light of day. It's more...
Since ubers is a tier, shouldn't the base forms of mawile, kanga, mence and gengar be in ubers too? Since it isn't a ban list anymore. Sorry for the stupid question in advance :P
Clefable is far better than mew, mew has a trash typing. So does mandi. Mew has the advantages of all of them good typing like garchomp and heatran and recovery like mew and mandi. But the thing is they get worn down on by sr. Clef doesn't. They all are setup fodder for something. Except clef...
Cacturne to b- or B it has heavy competition from shiftry and skunk that have more splashable niches as dark types. After looking at some old threads it was like c during the shiftry meta while it's not as bad as it was sit still has heavy competition and there's a huge rise in fighting types.
