Haxorus
[Overview]
<p>Although Haxorus isn't a Pokemon that has changed immensely from its role in Standard OU to its role in DW OU, 147 Base Attack is still nothing to laugh at. In fact, it's gotten even more from the new changes to other Pokemon than the changes to itself. Although not very common, Haxorus can defeat Custap Berry users that take advantage of its effects to use Explosion, since Mold Breaker negates Sturdy, thus rendering the strategy useless. While Haxorus is absurdly powerful, it still has the undesirable 97 Base Speed, leaving it vulnerable to being revenge killed by Choice Scarf Genesect at +1, among other things. The unbanning of several threats that will always cause Haxorus problems, such as Garchomp and Excadrill, leave Haxorus slightly more limited in its role as a physical attacking Dragon-type. However, Haxorus is still a fantastic Pokemon, and you should prepare for it accordingly. Its sheer power is unmatched, and access to both Dragon Dance and Swords Dance, as well as Taunt, make it a potent stallbreaker as well. All in all, Haxorus is still great at what it does, but it is often forced out of the spotlight by other mroe noteworthy Pokemon that make the DW metagame different from standard play.</p>
