it only has 5 weaknesses and ghost isn't exactly common

4 resistances to common types, 2 immunities

grass/ghost is not a bad defensive type. knock off is the big issue

all we know is that it's probably slow, we need to see actual stats and movepool before making any accurate judgments

although I get that we're all pretty eager for the game to drop and so making judgments is a way to pass the time

I'm okay with the bulk and low speed it will have moves that make up for it. The patterns foresee it /vp/.

yes 5 weaknesses
fire has bad distribution
ice is a bad weakness yes
dark is also a bad weakness
flying has bad distribution
ghost isn't relevant

so of those 5, two are predictable and two are in fact dangerous

nobody is expecting a grass type to face tank heatran but assuming base 100 sdef (still big assumption) I would wager it could tank out hp ice from LO thundy, with a halfway defensive spread

I checked and I am wagering correctly

Ice, Flying and Dark are some of the most common shit flying around in OU.
Like holy shit, Bird Spam teams top the usage charts constantly.

I don't give a fuck about stats. Rowlet is badass and it's all I cared since its reveal. I never changed my mind since then and I won't do it today.

more than half health pretty easily, that is why I said tank

again I'm making stat assumptions but coverage moves that are only x2 effective can be mitigated by high defensive stats

They call it bird spam because every heavy attacker on the team will use flying type moves.
It's not just Talonflame on the birdspam team.

Ghost is the new Dragon.
If they introduce a Ghost type Draco Meteor, Ghost will be one of the most common attacking types in the meta.

Despite its list of weaknesses ghost owl lacks a 4x weakness so assuming you don't go full retard and raise a shit nature it isn't going to get knocked out immediately.

The trick here is that people are going to actually have to use their brains for once with a starter and play it smart. In other words instead of attacking first they need to throw down trick room ( it will get it, virtually all ghost pokemon have access to it) and either setup the opponent as needed.

If game freak is gracious they will give the owl access to will o wisp, curse and/or destiny bond.

substitute and leech seed work wonders just saying
confuse ray then protect and your pretty much covered senpai.
if it was faster you couldve gone for air slash in hopes of flinching your opponent but decidueye is pretty slow so thats not really and option.

I love defensive pokemon personally, they're reliable as fuck

Curse works differently on ghost types.
