Phanpy [QC 1/2]

[apokemontrainer68]

[OVERVIEW]
Phanpy is unviable in the Little Cup metagame because it's directly outclassed by Mudbray, despite its access to priority in the form of Ice Shard, because of its better ability in Stamina. Phanpy is weak, slow and its special defense is horrible which is something Abra, Snivy, and Omanyte can exploit.

[SET]
name:Utility
move 1:Stealth Rock
move 2:Earthquake
move 3:Knock Off
move 4:Ice Shard
item:Eviolite
ability:Pickup
nature:Careful
evs:116 HP / 116 Atk / 116 Def / 116 SpD / 36 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Phanpy provides utility through Stealth Rock which is useful against Ponyta and Doduo, Knock Off is useful since most Pokemon in Little Cup hold Eviolite. Phanpy can switch into Electric- and Poison-types like Magnemite and Alolan Grimer then hit them with Earthquake. Phanpy has access to Knock Off and Ice Shard, however, Mudbray is just better because of its higher power and speed.

QC Ready
i think

 

[Merritt]

Not QC, but your EV spread is inefficient. 116 HP / 116 Atk / 116 Def / 116 SpD / 36 Spe is just objectively better.

Also don't really think a comparison to Drilbur is apt - I think Mudbray's more appropriate because it does the bulky sr setter ground type role better than Phanpy while Drilbur's less that role, more somewhat fast spinner with good power.

I always forget about Mudbray...
The rest was changed.

overview: talk about how phanpy is directly outclassed by mudbray due to the latter's overall better stats and ability despite phanpy's access to rapid spin and priority. mention that phanpy is weak in addition to being slow and frail specially. don't mention sandshrew.

set: reorder the moves like this:
-Stealth Rock
-Earthquake
-Knock Off
-Rapid Spin / Ice Shard
ice shard is really really weak and doesn't do anything other than pick off something at 1 hp. rapid spin offers more utility here.

set comments: this needs to be rewritten entirely. talk about what phanpy does for a team: provide utility through hazards and spinning and check electric- and poison-types such as magnemite and grimer-alola. reiterate that phanpy is outclassed by mudbray and that the roles it provides are easy to fit elsewhere on a team.

Phanpy doesn't learn Rapid Spin.

 

[gali]

sorry about that just implement everything else without rapid spin

I've actually implemented (probably the wrong way) those changes.

So i saw that you give QC checks so does this count as a check?

 

[gali]

yes

 

[apokemontrainer68]

Ready for second check.

Given that the author is banned, this is now up for re-assignment. You can implement tahu's check and start out at 1/2 if you want to take this over.
