>>45904123>>45904104You undersell it. It was simply THE best offensive Pokemon in the game, and it shat all over any Pokemon that didn't outright counter it. Its only flaws were middling speed (base 97) and middling special bulk, but they were still more than serviceable, allowing it to switch in on Spectrier to threaten it out or outspeed a good portion of the meta.
Its offensive typing meant that anything that wasn't part Fairy was going to get murked, but it could also run Poison Jab or Iron Head to kill them anyways. No Fairy in OU is fast enough to outspeed the bear, minus already setup Magearna and the odd Tapu Koko. It could also conserve momentum using U-turn, and had the ability to run scarf, band, life orb, and plenty of other items. It could revenge kill, it could set-up sweep, it could wall break, it could do just about everything, and even worse, it could've also been RShifu, which has its own set of counters entirely separate from SShifu. Beyond not even knowing what set it is, you couldn't even know what type it was before it came out, meaning you couldn't even prepare for it. Being part Fighting also meant it took negligible chip from stealth rocks, and it could muscle past most offensive teams that relied on rocks and momentum.
I'm glad it's gone.
