what weaknesses does hex cover? instead of being vague you should be more specific.

so you're using hex for two pokemon that salandit will lose to anyway? why not just poison them on the switch and then switch out to something else?

>1300 ELO shitters think Ghost is a good coverage type
It's good neutral STAB, but, like Dragon, it's not something you use otherwise.
It's better off with Fighting or Ground coverage for all the rock types which resist both STABs. One lets it hit Fire and Poison types SE, the other lets it hit Normals. It'll probably end up in a low tier, where rock types are more common, so it's going to get wrecked by things like Rest Regirock unless it gets Aura Sphere or something.

Think about the actual pokemon it hits, not just type coverage. That's why he said be specific. And idk why we're even talking about that move because I'm pretty sure that's not hex that's it using.

Wouldn't Hex be good for the types Poison isn't good against? So Ghost, Rock, Ground, Poison, and Steel types. Fire Blast/Flamethrower would be preferred for Steel types, but wouldn't use Hex on the other ones?

Fairies love using ghost for near perfect coverage though. And a strong neutral ghost type move like guaranteed Hex isn't exactly a bad thing.

>Neutral hits are good
no
All but one of those is hit SE by ground. Going purely by appearances, I doubt that Salandit is going to have the bulk or offensive presence to KO things on neutral, non-stab hits, even if Hex has good base power. You're better off switching 90% of the time than doing 30% and dying to their retaliation, and Ghost just doesn't improve its SE coverage very much.

hex pretty much only lets it hit rock, ground, various water types neutrally anyways

pretty much all the pokemon it wouldn't stay in on due to the threat of being KO'd

its probably not going to help. i think if salandit doesnt receive an evolution its going to end up a lot like how sableye was before gen 5

I'm struggling to think of a Fairy type which runs a ghost move as standard. If they exist, they're probably boosting sweepers who are fine with neutral hits after a couple CMs or a SD. Hitting for neutral isn't really spectacular unless you have high enough base stats to easily force switches and want reliable damage on what they switch to, or if you're a sweeper. Salandit probably isn't either of those things and will need the SE coverage more than neutral hits.

It's not it's basically the ghost type equivalent of venoshock except it's secondary effect requirement for is just status effects in general and not specifically poison.

Mimikyu and the Purple Tapu will, come November. Gotta have that STAB. :^)

But yeah, in all seriousness nobody runs Ghost moves unless they're STAB. It's like Normal and Dragon in that sense.

This. Venoshock would be almost as effective as Hex. Although if anyone is truly bothered by the whopping 5 base power difference, or just has nothing better to teach the Pokemon, I'm certain they'll waste the move slot on it.

Personally, needing protection/coverage against rock, ground or water seems more important than Psychic.

I like how the Hex guy just left as he got demolished lmao.

I'm 99% sure coverage will be Salandit's biggest issue.
