Stakeout sounds really strong in theory. but the problem is there's no fast way to force switches and just keeping something in on him will counteract it. give him pursuit though and he'd be pretty good for fucking with ghost types i suppose

Registeel is RU and steels only get better from there, so unless this gets Fighting or Ground as a secondary typing, Stakeout is useless when enormously bulky steels resist its entire movepool. Might have better luck with a Strong Jaw set.

Unless its stats and movepool are obsurdly specialized it's not doing any better in VGC either, as evidenced by any Normal type that isn't Kanga in that meta.

it's literally a shitmon for RU / NU if we speak in smogon

most likely scarf / band stab spam with gunk shot or crunch to bake up

i feel like it's gonna evolve into normal/dark
a very good typing to pull some choiced sets

i feel like it's gonna have skuntank like stats or raticate and purugly ones except slower

it's not gonna be furret or watchog at least

Gonna end up in RU because of its ability most likely, won't make any splash in vgc.

It will depend entirely on stats, typing and movepool, but both of its abilities are pretty fucking good. Strong Jaw Hyperfang. Wouldn't be surprised to see it being really good in lower tiers.

First of all, it's a mongoose. Get it right.

Secondly, mongeese were introduced to Hawaii from India.

Not Pursuit because no one would switch out on it. Roar is a cool idea though. Maybe Circle Throw/ Dragon Tail will be in its learnset. Red Card as its item, maybe? That'd probably work really well.

Does this mean eight gen will be based on India? There are no toilets in the Pokémon world so it's a pretty obvious candidate.

Most normal types get fighting moves anyways so steel typing isn't that big of deal but you are right that it will probably not be that viable.

They wouldn't give something a really powerful ability without some sort of drawback. It either has really shit stats or it will lose the ability upon evolution

Diggersby, Talonflame, and Vivillon all got great abilities. I can see Trumprat being RU as long as it gets Crunch and Earthquake.
