    He's a better spinner than Great Tusk.

    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...

    Is Samurott still in use in 1800+ ladder or has new toy syndrome finally faded?

    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...

    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...

    Why do you use Samurott in the rain? Wouldn't a electric immune/resist (ground or plant) mon be a better spike setter? Hatterena gets folded by your team fire power anyways.

    It gets 2hko by every single mon you listed. He can't check anything, just a pawn you throw out to die. I think the reason why he is so obnoxious despite how garbage he is lies within his versatility: you never know if your opponent has knock off, sacred sword, grass knot, a priority (which...

    Is Samurott used even at high/top elo? He seems so weak, slow, frail and useless. When he's on my team I always feel its a wasted team slot.

    Electhor, Rotom and Thundurus are too slow, can't take a hit from any of them (hate knock off from Samurott + 2hko by Moonblast).
