The deer is back. I repeat: the deer is back.

Honestly though, I think it'll be easier to deal with just because steel types are already so good.

From Rank K for Greninjite to Rank S and Y now is crazy.

Alright I'm fascinated cuz I know that Glaceon is viable due to Freeze-Dry and the large quotient of strong dragons, grounds and Gyarados but I could've never imagined my boy Dedenne having a role. What does he do that other Electrics don't?

it is very tiny, lot of moves have weird angles and can miss smaller pokemon. alphas are also generally worse for this reason too

yeah I assume Geomancy takes way too long to go off in combination with all the steel types everywhere probably hurts it

death bird might be better than it in this mode

I think Emboar being C makes sense. I think it's good but Recoil as always is feast or famine and its hard to use Emboar when theres Chomps, Drills, and Gyarados everywhere. I've knocked out several Charizards instantly with Head Smash tho which is funny, lol.

Doublade being here is also really funny, Aegislash would probably be really good if it didn't take so long to switch stances.

Based on the ease of getting off early SD’s and CM’s with plenty of time remaining I doubt that’ll be the issue. More with the steel types. Fortunately I won’t have to wait much to trial it, I leveled my Xerneas and hyper trained it etc purely for the Zygarde battle.

I think swords dance and calm mind are considerably faster than geomancy is, the latter feels like over 2 times as long as calm mind. I guess you could just use calm mind instead lol

I mean, I usually have a ton of spare time cos I’ll target one mon from as far as I can and hold back while they all start until I can come in and attack.
