>>54631608>using a non-stab, resisted hit from a base 95 attack pokemonBelly drum is not magic enough to let you overcome Poliwrath's dogshit stat distribution. Like, even at adamant, 252 attack EVs, you're sitting at the same amount of attack that a jolly Urshifu gets with only 88 attack EVs. Hell, a Snorlax at 252 attack EVs has 1 more attack than a Poliwhirl, and also gets belly drum but also gets gluttony so it can reliably heal up more after doing belly drum as well, or can tera grass with thick fat. Snorlax is just Poliwrath if Poliwrath wasn't fucking dogshit. There's a reason that Poliwrath was only relevant for a short stint in BW in VGC and has never been relevant since. The only reason people are looking at it right now is because it's one of the only few mons in Kitakami with an immunity for the Kitakami Prologue tournament.
