Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
This is the reason you need a Hatterena on your team and Samurott to get banned.
More seriously I use Assault Vest Iron Treads to take care of the problem, but it isn’t always reliable. Not more unreliable that checking Iron Defense Zamz spamming crunch in order to get your defense lowered.
Why is Samurott in top5 above the two moonblast monsters and barely behind Gholdengo?
Are this stats considering all the ladder or only focusing on the top portion of it?
I feel less bad getting stomped by the otter now, but I'm so confused. On paper and when I use him, he is very...
Hisui-Goodra should have gotten Rapid Spin, just saying...

Sassy Nature
- Rapid Spin

I'm c*mming.
Tusk gets mogged by Samurott especially with Tera Ghost.
Cinderace is a fine answer, but teambuilding with him is restrictive. It's like saying Magearna was fine cause if you use Skeledirge she can't do anything to you.
Why not use Hatt or Tusk then?
These two incredibly handy solutions get shut down by Samurott, therefore he needs to get banned.
I'm not crazy right? I'm not the only one thinking Samurott is very problematic and sapping the fun out of the game?
How is spikes the problem when there was no issue before home release?
Just ban Samurott ffs.
Haterenna will finally be able to do its job as it should.
Spikes wouldn't be nearly as bad without Samurott. You'd just need have to keep a Haterena around, who is very viable without the hazard control element of it anyways.
Or just bring out Tusk/Corvenight knowing that it won't be 1hko/2hko by your spike setter.
Samurott is a far worse problem than...
252 SpA Mystic Water Samurott-Hisui Hydro Pump vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Corviknight: 204-241 (51.1 - 60.4%) -- 91.4% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Mystic Water Samurott-Hisui Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Great Tusk: 378-446 (87 - 102.7%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Mystic...
Sticky web teams are awful, yet it can ruin some HO teams. Samurott is the same thing with me, he sucks in every metric but he always finds a way to ruin my balance teams.
Btw some people that are far better than me shared their thoughts and even if I still can't see it they are most likely...
Rocky Helmet LandorusT is Art.
What's the point of playing comp if you ignore the mon crafted by the gods?
No seriously there's nothing more fun than using LandorusT as a resources throughout the match, chipping physical attacker here and there with RH, therefore ruining the opposent's gameplan...
