Underrated VGC threats
Apr 21, 2015, 08:24 AM
1. Virizion: despite all of its weaknesses, it checks Rotom-W, Breloom, Politoed + Ludicolo lead, every other Water type (Ice Beams are usually 3HKO on Virizion), Terrakion, Bisharp, Tyranitar + Excadrill lead, and an unboosted Close Combat has a 30% chance to OHKO 4 HP M-Kang. I'm personally using SashVirizion so that i can use Close Combat multiple times, or even Stone Edge on CharY or a Talonflame after surviving an attack. Landorus-T can't really touch it too except for Intimidate.
2. Mega Blaziken: everyone gets wrecked by Life Orb Thundurus + M-Blaziken lead sooner or later. It's a monster if used wisely (with Quick Guard or Wide Guard support, Storm Drain Gastrodon and so on, you can't even hit it those times it's not using Protect!)
3. Greninja: it may be the most popular pokemon in Singles, but VGC is another story. However Life Orb Greninja with Protect can really be dangerous if you can't slow it down in time.
4. Latios: Psyshock, Draco Meteor, Ice Beam, Energy Ball, Thunderbolt, Tailwind, Reflect/Light Screen/Safeguard, all in one pokemon. Sash or Scarf are great items on it.
5. Crobat: it's not that underrated but it's not used so much for many reasons, but Crobat always does its job.
