AssVest Conkeldurr is something that always annoys me when team building for Battle Spot, where everything is quick and fast.
>AssVest means most special mons can't take it down in one shot
>Knock Off means most Psychic or Ghost mons can't switch in safely to beat it up
>Ice Punch means Flying and Grass (specifically Grass/Poison, Grass/Ghost and Grass/Psychic) also can't handle it without take a load of damage at once
>Guts means burning just makes it a bigger shitstain to handle
>Drain Punch means most regular mons won't have fun handling it even if they can beat it one on one
>Mach Punch for priority
Fairies manhandle it thanks to Fighting/Dark resistance yes, but other than that it's not something that's easily taken down by most mons. Easily checked after some prior damage, but at full health it won't be taken down so easily.
Sableye is another one I absolutely loathe not just because of its playstyle but because of personal dislike of it. Offensively, anything that cannot 2HKO it cannot hope to beat it once poisoned/burned since it can just spam priority Recover until you die. Burn means most physical attackers can't do that after the being burned and Sableyes tend to be Calm with 252SpD and 252HP so less powerful Special Attackers aren't getting past that either. You can try to status it, but priority Taunt shuts down obvious utility/support Pokemon from using Toxic. Again, Fairies shut it down easily but most of the time I don't have room for a Fairy in my team so I've just been running something like Gliscor to deal with it.
