Is this the birth of a new epic psychic-type counter?

Considering Drapion doesn't do shit, I'd say no.

Drapion's bulk is mostly physical, and Alolan Muk looks to me like it will have even higher attack than normal Muk, which already outpowers Drapion.

Why would we need that? Psychic is among the worst types in the game currently.

It's a fairy counter. Many fairies have psychic coverage, which stops poison bros from actually doing anything.

So is salandit, with it's ability to fuck klefk and mawhile.

What's the point of Salandit's ability when it can just use a STAB fire move on steels anyways?

Heatran. It can enter with an Air Ballon and land an 100% guaranteed Toxic on it.

I really hope Salandit's ability lets it use any poison move on Steels for Neutral/SE damage.

Because if it learns Toxic Spikes, it can be a great lead.

Not really, lo reuninclus focus blast is a bitch,

Mega Alakazam focus blast is another.

Mega Gardevoir hypervoice is not a joke.

Specs latios is gaining traction, trust me when I say that even spdef mandibuzz has problems taking in the 2 Draco Meteors.

It really doesn't work as a psychic counter, Mew got wisp, Celebi got baton pass and jirachi has trick while being immune to poison and neutral to pursuit.

I doubt this thing can take a lo analytic hydro pump on the switch, Starmie is a bitch bro.

Not counter, just a shaky check.

Except Dark is weak to Fairy. Sure it's risky since that special D bulk and Muk's modest HP will mean it will likely survive and counter with Poison of some kind, but still I would rather take a steel Pokemon to fuck fairies over.

Dark did nothing but make Muk worse actually.

Yeah, it's now immune to Psychics but in exchange it's now neutral to Bug, Fighting, and Fairy attacks it once resisted

It does resist Dark and Ghost so I would say it's a decent tradeoff.
