All it really needs is Roost or Recover and it'd be great, Mantine is actually a pretty anti-meta mon if it would at least get Roost.

This.

People really underestimate how much recovery helps make a pokemon boom in walling power. It can turn 3HKO's into unlimited survivability, allows it to "reset" those 2HKO's, and by extension of living longer also gives it a greater offensive presence, just over a longer period.

It is TECHNICALLY recovery, but its butt-fucking retarded recovery. It's a complete waste of a moveslot, you auto-scrub.

Not a single self respecting person would ever run Aqua Ring, it is about as useful for recovery as shooting yourself in the foot.

>rain dish
With Rain nerf? No thanks.

>ingrain
4x Elec weakness, no boosts and unable to switch.....

>leftovers
It already runs Leftovers, it's still terrible.

>bigroot
I don't think you even know how the fuck it works.

I think you missed the point of the post.

aquaring is such minimal recovery that only if you went full retard with every passive recovery option you could would it be worth it

The blurb on M-Gyarados on the official website was all about this: playing mindgames with the opponent, making them question if Gyarados will go down to an Electric attack or not.
