Waterpon, Mola, Lele
Everyone has said how good these are way better than I can. Mola just gives so much freedom in building because of those fat Wishes.
Well then
Meteor 450 ,since u didnt gave a proper explanation for these three, i can give it for u.
I seen many players say that his the potential of being broken, and I can see why. Water is an overall good offensive type, with neutrality to most types minus itself, grass and dragon. Most bulky waters have to consider the incoming Horn Leech, which can be terryfing after an SD, and grants its longevity as well, or Wood Hammer, which does itself recoil, but the extra power can help it take down certain obstacles easier. There is almost no bulky Dragon types besides maybe Multiscale Dragonite, do there is decent bulky Grass types like Ferrothorn and Tangrowth. Ferrothorn can takes its stabs well, however it may struggle to cripple it, if it has Taunt, and it doesnt like taking Superpower. However, Tangrowth is admitingly a solid check to it, albeit its on the underrated side. There is also the fact that Wellspring can run 2 viable sets, an offensive set with SD, or an utility set with Spikes. Overall its a solid pokemon that has the potential to be really annoying in the future, vut for now, well just wait n see.
Alomola imo is a fantastic pokemon in the tier, with its Regenerator ability, solid defensive type in mono Water, high HP, and of course Wish. In previous generations, it had niches because of all these traits, especially those big wishes, however now it can effectively wishpass far more reliably thanks to the access of Flip Turn. This has been paired with many pokes to great effect, like Mega Ttar for example. Its also offently paired with other mons with Regenerator like Tornadus-Therian and Galarian Slowking, granting insane longevity over the course of a game. It also has a solid utility movepool, with access to Scald for potential burns, Toxic for poison, and Knock Off for item removal. There are ways to beat it of course, while it HP is massive, its defense is a bit below average with only 80. But thanks to that high HP, its defense stats is just fine, what is not so fine its that mediocre 45 spdef, meaning that is easy to pick up on that side of the attacking spectrum. Of course the teambuilder should have this in mind amd pair it with a special wall to make most of its talent. Galar Slowking is an excellent partner for this reason, not just for its Regenerator core, but its high spdef. Alomola tends to pair well on a variety of archetypes, from Stall, to Fat, to Balance, to Bulky Offense. Overall i think Alomomola is in a perfect position in the meta rn.
This is one of the few mon i been hearing to be a bit controversial. Tapu Lele has always been a fantastic pokemon since gen 7, with solid typing, stats and its ability Psychic Surge, allowing to summon Psychic Terrain upon entering a battle. The terrain alone is fantastic, as it provides a passive ability to cancel out priority moves, these includes attacks like Bullet Punch and Fake Out, and even other niches like Prankster. It also gives Psychic moves a 30% boost, which makes it very effective on a certain archetype called "PsychicSpam". But even outside of that archetype, Tapu Lele's stats are also good, with 130 special attack, 115 spdef, and 95 speed. The most common Tapu Lele set is that of a Choice Scarfer, as it's speed makes it pretty good for the role. But it ocassionally runs a Choice Specs instead, as its high attack can also make it a great user of the item at the cost of speed control. Another rare set is that of a Fightinium Z set, as it can allow to handles mons like Mega Ttar expecting to wall a choice locked move. Before the Gholdengo ban, Gholdengo was a pretty solid answer to Tapu Lele, as it resisted both STABs, was immune to Focus Blast, and didn't took much from the likes of Shadow Ball or Hidden Power Fire. But after the ban, there isn't a 100% true counter, at least many believe. Blissey and Chansey can take its hits well, until it reveals Psyshock, Empoleon can resists its STABs, but doesn't like the idea of taking Focus Blast. Corviknight does decently well, until Lele uses Thunderbolt. It's also pretty annoying with the move Future Sight, which after 2 turns, the opponent has to contend with one of your incoming moves AND a 120 base power Special Psychic attack. But this also leads to Tapu Lele having a four move syndrome, so if you manage to scout the coverage, you might be able to react accordingly. However, its still an incredible pokemon, some even consider it banworthy, but imo, this could be the case of a necesary evil, as its terrain gives a solid security against priority from the likes of Mega Scizor, Mega Lopunny, Greninja and more. I am not trying to say it has to stay, but it does provide something solid to a team that no other mon can do reliably. (And no, Indeedee doesn't count.)
being potentially problematic. This Mon has a very respectable speed tier at 110. Being able to run SD and set up and hit with strong stabs such as ivy cudgel and horn leech.For an offensive Mon it has respectable defensive utility having water absorb making it able to disrupt alomomola cores making it not able to flip turn and giving it opportunities to Sd. Also access to encore makes this Mon pretty difficult to wall. Also getting fighting coverage either lowkick or superpower. Probably not now but I def see this Mon being looked at in the future.
, its combination of strength sap and matcha gotcha annoys Ogerpon-Wellspring without really caring about anything outside of knock off.
