So:

Timid
Compound Eyes
-Sticky Web
-Thunder
-Bug Buzz
-Volt Switch

Is this really all that Galvantula can do?

Pretty much.

Aside from Sticky Web, there's really no reason to use it, in OU at least.

What else does it need to do? Sure it's a one trick pony, but it's pretty effective at doing its job. Please tell me how much variety you see amongst Talonflames, Sableyes, or Greninjas.

I've gone up against a bulky substitue/spikes/Night Slash, Water Shurukin Greninja. Confused the hell out of me when I was battling it. After I realized what was going on, it was pretty shitty.

But that's the point, a lot of pokemon are built for one thing and one thing only. Doesn't make them bad. Predictable, but not bad. Hell, you can even use that to you advantage. I just made some guy ragequit by doing the following:

>I usually lead with Sableye
>I see Opponent has Espeon on his team
>Lead with Sableye
>Opponent leads with Tyranitar
>Everyone would expect a Wil-O-Wisp
>Use Knockoff instead predicting an Espeon switch in
>Guy switches in Espeon and gets one shotted
>Communication error

This kind of shit happens so much with Galvantula. Everyone expects a turn 1 web but I'll often fire off a thunder for the hell of it if I expect a switch. Caught some random Genesects off guard with it, paralyzed a few too. Fucking over a Genesect before it does anything AND getting a web down feels great. Espeon's also hilarious. I mean, team preview is right there buddy, I can see you have one, I'm not dumb. Enjoy the bug buzz.

Don't underestimate Galvantula OP, those Thunders pack a serious punch. You might take more than one poke down with you too if you're fortunate.
