Gen 5 Haxorus (QC 1/1) (GP 1/1) [DONE]

[BT89]

those darned dragons wish they were me

[OVERVIEW]

Haxorus has a niche on DragMag teams due to how Magnezone removing Skarmory allows it to make great use of its colossal Attack stat. However, it's mostly outclassed by the other Dragon-types in the tier such as Garchomp, Dragonite, Salamence, and especially Kyurem-B, as they are either faster or, in the case of Kyurem-B, stronger than Haxorus. They also all have a better defensive presence due to their better bulk and typings. Haxorus’s meager defensive profile and middling Speed tier make it prone to being revenge killed by common offensive Pokemon like Latios, Garchomp, Keldeo, and Alakazam before setting up. Even after setting up, it's still vulnerable to Choice Scarf users like Latios, Keldeo, and Garchomp.

[OVERVIEW]

Haxorus has a niche on DragMag teams due to how Magnezone removing Skarmory allows it to make great use of its coalossal colossal Attack stat and being able to take advantage of the removal of Skarmory, one of its best answers. However, it's mostly outclassed by the other Dragon-types of in the tier such as Garchomp, Dragonite, Salamence, and especially Kyurem-B, as they're either faster (remove comma) or, (add comma) in the case of Kyurem-B, stronger than Haxorus. They also contribute more defensively to a team all have a better defensive presence due to their higher defensive stats better bulk and better typings. Haxorus’s meager defensive profile and middling Speed tier also makes it prone to being revenge killed by common offensive Pokemon like Latios, Garchomp, Keldeo, Terrakion, Thundurus-T, and Alakazam (a couple too many examples here, I would cut it to just mention the most 3-4 relevant examples) before setting up. Even after setting up, it's still vulnerable to being revenge killed by Choice Scarf variants of users like Latios, Keldeo, and Garchomp.
