>>53845978>>53846046>>53845377Yes, but being able to zone as a tank is actually really strong. The idea is of course to defend and initiate like any tank, but with stealthrock and tomb you can also hinder and zone better than any other pokemon. Slow enemies down with stealth rock, do strong area damage if they stay in place or force them to move otherwise while being attacked, cooldown is pretty fast so youll probably be able to spam it a few times in team fights, trap their retreat/separate their team with tomb and deal decent damage with basic attacks, boosted hitting in area, all while base stats having the best defense and HP in the game.
I say is underrated because everyone prefers going crit-crustle which in my opinion is a mistake because you are sacrificing your role as a tank to become an all-rounder. Stealthrock let's you be a mage tank.
You won't survive as long as slowbro or goodra because no healing, or hit and harass as hard as Lapras, but you'll still easily do 50k-60k damage, be a solid durable tank and because if range attacks play at different places of the team fights.
Easily the most underrated build for the most underrated tank.
