>>14685917So let's take a look at all the common spinners:
>StarmieIf it switches when Galvantula uses Sticky Web it will be faster the next turn and be able to spin...only to die from STAB Thunder or Bug Buzz.
>ForretressGalvantula resists Gyro Ball and everything else does shit damage. 2HKO'd by Thunder
>TentacruelMay avoid the OHKO from Thunder, but it's slower and will die the next turn
>Cloysterlol
>Claydol2HKO'd by STAB Bug Buzz
>KabutopsNeeds rain+swift swim to oustpeed Galvantula. Can OHKO with Stone Edge, but if it misses it's dead.
>AvaluggWith Sturdy it can survive one hit despite its shitty Sp.Def and do major damage with Avalanche. Will only work as an anti-lead though.
>CryogonalIt MAY be able to win one-on-one but if it gets paralyzed by Thunder it's likely to lose
>Blastoiselol
>HitmontopCan't take Thunders. Likely to lose
>DonphanWins if Galvantula doesn't have Giga drain with Earthquake>Ice Shard. Loses otherwise
>Sandslashlike Donphan but worse. Not likely to win
>ExcadrillActually wins. Avoids the 2HKO from Giga drain or Bug Buzz and 2HKOs with EQ.
Excadrill is the only spinner who can reliably beat Galvantula. Pray it doesn't get banned again.
