As of now, with the advent of Outrage on Salamence, I can almost smell Salamence being kicked off to ubers ;_; This raises the idea of even more SR usage, and an increase in Weaviles.
As for UU, I feel Absol is going to be getting a surge in power. I mean, SuperPower? Sort of ridiculous in a sense, of course, Fire Blast is superior generally.
I don't. It is Stealth Rock weak, it takes damage from Sandstorm, it lacks a fudgin' base One-O-
2 -I mean seriously, WTF- base Speed, more fragile, while retaining Ice weakness, et-certera, et-cetera.
That means, due to prediction of the future metagame alone, it would serve to play as either an early game behemoth, or a late game sweeper, after all counters have been
significantly weakend. It has a somewhat limited switching ability, and it lacks the proper sheer power of Chomp -it must dance twice to avoid wreckage, and every time it charges up, it gains an
additional risk of a Gyro Ball up the vage.
Not to mention it lacks a cheap ability, and it doesn't gain STAB Earthquake.
I'm seeing some great Mixed Dragonite sets, that I may use in the near future. Or distant future, I don't like shoddy. My emeniez are there o.O
It gains SuperPower, something Mence would love for his mixed sets. I feel Mence is being hyped a tad too much. As I said before, people liakz Dragonite. If it gets outclassed, people will work on other ways to make it more useful. Super Power aids this goal.
Gastro Acid is a useful move, shutting down Liquid Ooze (disgusting) so Leech Seed can raep. Go Choice Band, Swords Dance Vileplume.
