    Dat is right ma homies. I have stolen yet another of Kholds ideas. >:O I'll do a VS of the week every week on the week. This first time is something I came up with off the top of my head. =O It'll be GSC this week, and I'll alternate every week between FRLG, RS, GSC, RBY, and occasionally I'll have a 2 on 2. But this week is GSC.

    This is a VS in Usage Not against each other >:O

    Rhydon vs. Exeggcutor.

    Let the Debate begin.

    I'd have to say Eggy wins, just because his usages come in handy and can be game breakers or makers.

    Sleep Powder and Stun Spore for starters. Immobilize the opponent's sweeper, or slow down their speed demons. Psychic, Giga Drain, Leech Seed, Toxic, Solar Beam/Sunny Day, Hidden Power, Explosion...all GOOD moves. That he is quite capable of using. 279 attack is NOTHING to scoff at for something that is supposed to abuse Special Attacks. So use m00b like crazy. Remember, "m00b=instant win". Rhydon can basically defend and attack. While his defensive and offensive stats are lovely, he hasn't the speed or the movepool to put it to greater use than Exeggcutor does his.
     
    There is _no_ way for Rhydon to win this battle.

    Exeggutor is FASTER, and Giga drain deals at LEAST 485 dmg, which is more than Rhydon's HP.

    Sorry Mana, but the thing is, this is a USAGE contest, not an actual battle contest thingy. :P Anyways, Rhydon isnt that great of a tank since its weak to EQ, but then again, it can withstand EQ for at least a couple turns.
     
    Ah, a usage contest.

    Then you chose bad contestants. There's nothing similar about the way Exeggutor and Rhydon are used, so you can't compare the two at all. :x I'd never ask you "Who's more useful, Umbreon or Salamence?" simply because their roles are really different.

    Eggy is a great UU pokemon, since it has high special attack, and a choice of powders to attack the switchin. With boom on its side as well, it can at least take down 1, if not more, with its power. Rhydon on the other hand is just a physical sweeper type thing. It's not a tank, unless you're using it in conjunction with another pokemon not weak to quake/surf.
     
    Standard Eggy doesn't even have Giga Drain. And why do people always assume a move is gonna hit? Sleep Powder and Stun Spore can miss, not to mention Lum Berry is all over the place.

    Spike sends out Rhydon
    Ace sends out Exeggcutor

    Exeggcutor uses Psychic
    Rhydon uses Megahorn
    Exeggcutor fainted...

    Why did Exeggcutor, a Pokemon with a BIG advantage faint? Lets check out the stats on both of these Pokemon.

    Standard Exeggcutor @ Lum Berry/Leftovers
    Sunny Day
    HP Fire
    Solar Beam <- x4 OHKO on contact with Rhydon.. But takes 2 turns.
    Psychic <- Only move left to use, does extreme damage with STAB

    Standard Rhydon @ Lum Berry/Leftovers/Quick Claw
    Earthquake
    Rock Blast
    Double Edge
    Megahorn <- x4 OHKO on contact with Eggy... But could miss.
     
    Note to self: This is a GSC debate. Sunnybeaming doesn't work well on Eggy. Rydon can't learn Rock Blast -- there isn't even Rock Blast.

    Plus, if you're doing RSFL, then Explosion is perfectly usable: KOs the hound after you've KOed something else. Surprise.
     
    Giga drain may not be standard, but that doesn't mean Eggy won't have it to KO a Rhydon.
     
    Actualy I prefer the non sunny beaming Eggy unless your running a sunny day team, which is quite fun =P
     
    GSC standard was Psy, seed, spore of some kind, boom.

    Then theres the people who can somehow see Explosion coming... I envy people like that =(. GSC Eggy was kinda useless IMO, stop using it after everyone stuck a Heracross on there team =(.
