Because lefties and black sludge have more or less the same effect, but there are no other items that inflicts burn or poison on the user.

If they had given it fire blast/blizzard/hydro pump Gavantula would be pretty awesome, but they didn't. It has good speed and decent SpA but even with a 91% accurate thunder it's a little underwhelming. Still, as many others have said, i could see it being a good UU pokemon.

Does breloom have mach punch? Don't switch in on breloom >_>

I'm kind of annoyed drifblim didn't get a better ability >_>. In itself the ability is good, but since drifblim has lackluster speed and no way of boosting other than unburden which doesn't couple with heat rampage, he won't be able to get both the speed and the spA he needs to do damage. On...

On any special based set HP fighting looks increasingly attractive as it hits nattorei and empoleon, 2 of the 3 pokemon that resist kingdra's stab (and who uses shedinja?), who would normally cause problems for kingdra.

Heracross gets the same attack, same speed, has megahorn over x-scissor and a STAB close combat. Now they have the same ability too. They aren't called trollfreak for no reason. Pinsir is pretty much only better at physical defense, but heracross has better spD anyways >_> I wish pinsir had...

80/79/79 defenses and intimidate don't scream glass cannon to me.

What happens when perversity shuckle uses power swap?

120BP including stab. So it's really 80BP *1.5 Maybe you know this, but if you thought it was as strong as CC it's really not.

Rotom-A may be gone, but we got 4 new ghost types pokemon to work with. Desukan Pure ghost, The water/ghost pokemon, The chandelier fire/ghost pokemon, and a ground/ghost something or other pokemon.

This could easily stop leads that try to outspeed and taunt/SR first turn. Taunt+Encore could force switches, assuming it's possible to encore a move that failed due to taunt.

I like Flame/Toxic orb sub set. Obviously it's going to be losing health quickly, so wish passing is nice, but you can sub up and abuse facade, which still hits most pokemon hard, and it has more power than a LO set.

Specially defense heracross with RestTalk bulk up? Not to mention heracross is faster, so non-banded versions won't really care.

Yes, but unless heracross has already killed something, it can easily smash you on a switch if the player predicts well.

While I agree that Sub+3 Attacks is much more reliable and is much more useful in many situations, SD Guts heracross has the ability to crush near everything in the tier, and while much riskier if it's counters are gone it will rip teams apart.
