Then you are easily walled and killed by Tyranitar. I still don't see the point of this set over something like Latias, which can block status with Refresh or Substitute. Even with full Def investment, Tyranitar OHKOs with Crunch and comes extremely close with Pursuit (assuming you DON'T switch out).
Haxorus is the worst physical dragon ya, but he's still not bad. there are just tons of better options, i only find myself going to him if i want to make a team based around him. he's good at smashing things without a choice band i guess? after 1 d-dance or swords dance theres not much to stop him, but same goes for all the other dragons. the biggest problem is base 97 speed which is just an awful base speed to have.
Reckless HJK from mienshao is more powerful than a Haxorus Outrage, js.
But Mienshao doesn't get Dragon Dance.
I found DD to be really bad in UU at the time when PO had Haxorus down there. Mienshao still outspeeds and rapes it completely and utterly.
aye, but that chance of major recoil sucks. especially when you consider that ghost types are a lot more common in uu than steel types, and none can really pose an offensive threat to him. bronzong can switch in on an outrage and gyro ball hax before he dies maybe?
While I agree with your statement about the low usage of Conkeldurr, I would argue that Dugrtio is still ok in this meta, and its usage represents that pretty well. In addition, Conkeldurr definitely deals with T-tar, but not nearly as well, as it does not trap it. With focus sash, it can indeed KO heat ran and Magnezone, as well as switch into anything slower than it (a lot of things), take an attack, bringing down to its sash, and slam whatever was in with a full power reversal. Because of its great use as a revenge killer, and the fact that he is essentially an auto-include on sun teams, his usage makes a lot of sense, and if anything, I would argue it deserves to go up.
Lol that is actually the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Dragonite is easily, EASILY, the best dragon dancer in the tier. All he needs is the field clear of rocks, and he is basically guaranteed at least one dance.
I agree. I'm not particularly fond of his absurd high usage in the regular usage stats, but I think the 1850 stats reflect how good D-Nite is. I don't think he deserves top 5, but top 10 is spot on. Multiscale gives D-Nite a guaranteed turn of setup if Stealth Rocks are off the field, and once the opponent no longer has their revenge killer, then D-Nite can pretty much go to town. Salamence is still one hell of a sweeper with DD, but they fill different sweeping roles. D-Nite acts as more of a bulky sweeper that's best used late game, while Salamence can pretty much destroy everything once the team lacks anything that can outspeed it at +1 or priority Ice Shard.
