>>26633964If Lightningrod can bless it with a movepool addition of Volt Switch, then it'll be worth it. Having an annoyer that's THAT fast has proven to be useful in the past, and its not like it's not packing a punch. It just gets stopped by too many things to ever be not a rare niche in OU viability.
>>26633887This is one of those pokemon that is begging for a Mega. Reminds me of Hydreigon, actually, where it's just missing one or two things to make it really fucking kick ass. Stats are juuuust shy from being really great, and a better ability would go a long way with it's setup.
>>26635844Yeah, honestly Dragalge is fucking great. It reminds me of old school tanks like Gen 3 Metagross. Come in, wall the ever living fuck out of something, then punch a hole in the switch in. It's got the stats, typing and movepool to do it, too.
>>26637610There's a couple pokemon like this, that under odd circumstances can just fuckin.. wall shit. Avalugg does this too, where it actually takes attacks from things it's weak to due to it's massive defenses and access to Recover.
Usually the issue with these types of pokemon comes down to the fact that you spend too much time recovering than anything else. Tangrowth's not the worst case of this, though, I've got first hand experience with it. Can be a pain in the ass if left unchecked.
