>if your bro were to lose its ability, would it still be runnable?
Both abilities are very situational anyway, so yes.
>does your bro have extremely uneven defenses (e.g a sp.defense of 135 and a defense of 30) and no speed to compensate?
No.
>or does it have high defenses, but no offenses, nor any useful status/recovery moves?
Nope.
>does your bro have a lackluster movepool? "[pokemon] would be so much better if only it learned [move]"
...I have no comment.
>does your bro have a typing which leaves it with few offensive and defensive edges? (examples: grass/psychic, pure ice, ice/rock)
Meh, there could be worse typings than pure Fire.
>does your bro rely on a single move to function properly?
Eruption spam all day, every day.
>does your bro easily fall to priority/birb?
Not particularly, but priority hurts Eruption.
>does your bro require excessive support?
Rapid Spin/Defog preserves Eruption, so it really helps.
