It’s Hyper Beam with STAB is as strong as an unSTABBED Solar Beam coming off of 264 Attack (1 higher than Dragonite) and only 6 less than Groudon.
Imagine Groudon’s Solar Beam without fearing the common resistances of Flying, Dragon, Fire, etc. We already see neutral coverage with Dragon moves (Rayquaza, Dragonite, etc.) against Gyms filled with Blissey, Chansey, Snorlax, Slaking, so why not Hyper Beams?
Neutral coverage isn’t bad, when backed by huge Attack.
I have never considered using Solar Beam Groudon as Grass attacker. And particularly as generalist. The only reason I can see for using PoryZ would be because one doesn't have those legendaries while needing generalist. And considering the defense gym meta is pretty much mostly brickwall to be broken by Machamp....
Not to mention both moves are slow. And I don't think PoryZ has the bulk of legendaries to pull that for a long time.
Or maybe that's because I never use generalist and would switch mon. The only time I'd generalise things is when it involves things that doesn't hit Machamp or Raikou too bad even under type advantage. So nah, I think at best PoryZ would be just a good 'mon, but not best to use.
Unless Tackle is that good for an attack, and that's if PoryZ still has it.
And who knows if then some Ghosts or things like Rhyperior just dropped in.
Anyways, bad day. Could only snagged 5 Shiny Charmanders (and that's with active walking, I'm now laying on my futon) and overall IV was not good. I could only get good high level 'zardon just because I had prepared them to be evolved. Bah....
And
then I fell off my bike because I misstepped on a hole. Now my leg is cramped.
Probably the worst event ever. Roughly 100 Charmander caught, only 1 shiny and 0 viable. Latios ran away and the Ho-Oh I got was 82.2%
At least I caught enough Charmander to evolve the two viable Charmeleon I had, I guess.
Apparently we Asian residents aren't the only one. Europeans also report low Charmander spawns now. At least it's good to know we're not the only, but Niantic
