>>23316261the thing with blanket checks, such as rotom-w and lando-t is that they often find themselves overloaded. let's take the birdspam core
while rotom-w can take on mega pinsir and talonflame very well on their own, if it attempted to check both in a game, it gets worn down very easily
lando-t the same way with lots of physical attackers
the difference between lando-t and rotom-w is that neither of them have the huge wallbreaking power that aegis has. in fact, rotom-w hits like a bitch and lando-t only hits moderately hard, while aegis can threaten a 2hko on the entire tier after stealth rock which is what makes it so dangerous.
