I used Primarina, Bulu, Arcanine, Pheromosa and Gigalith. Salazzle was the last one, but she didn't make it on the top 30.

Primarina is still pretty okay and has her niche, even though it will be better once Liquid Voice is released. Incineroar is good right now, but I guess people just prefer Arcanine until Intimidate is out

How the fuck are Koko and Arcanine counters to Garchomp? Just because some Koko carry HP Ice/Fairium Z it doesn't mean its a counter. Scarfchomp counters them as well.

You just mentioned two Koko sets that can check Garchomp. Are you retarded or just pretending?

Not all Garchomps are scarf.

I'll give you Arcanine though, how he's more of an annoyance because EQ than a check.

Keep in mind that a bunch of people with in game teams were on the competition just to get the stones, so that inflates the usage on things that aren't that good.

It's pretty much the only one in that category though, so it's either "good enough" or really popular.
I'm surprised Incineroar isn't there instead of it, though.

Fuck you Barafags. You are the reason why we haven't found a cure for cancer yet. Arcanine is way better and will always be, even after the "B-BUT HIDDEN ABILITY WILL MAKE IT BETTER" meme. Just accept the fact that your starter is a barafag furry shitmon that is just a way worse Arcanine and stop shitting up these threads with your baracat shill.

Didn't know that Arcanine got Fake Out, thanks for that hot steaming pile of assumptions.

I don't even fucking like Incineroar, but Fake Out+Intimidate is always a powerful combination in doubles.

Nah, Incineroar is really good too. Fake Out, Dark Typing, slow U-turn with assault vest and Intimidate (in the future) will make it a great Pokémon. I used Primarina with Choice Specs in this competition and it's pretty okay, it will be better once Liquid Voice comes out and you have 2 different really strong spread moves.

Scarf Xurkitree paired with Toppu Kekku does absurd amounts of damage, or you have quite a few TR teams, volt switch kekku out turn 1 while you set up TR bring in 0 speed LO or specs Xurkitree and sweep.

Her only decent sound move is Hyper Voice, and there's literally no reason to use Hyper Voice over Sparkling Aria.
Torrent is objectively a better ability for Primarina.
