Defensive Ground types in Chomp and Lando-T and Hippo are common as fuck. Switching out doesn't let you accomplish anything with it, and the slot is much better used with something like Terrakion whose stats likely dwarf Lycanroc, and Terrak isn't even used that much in OU. If you want an example of how Lycanroc will end up, look at regular Aerodactyl, but imagine it slower.

>>28659209Hippo is terrific in OU, but the rest of what you said is likely true.
