Remember when Chandelure having 145 Sp. Atk was a huge deal?

The only pokemon with special attack above 145 in OU are Megazam, Hoopa U, zard Y, and ash greninja.

It wasn't on its own

It would have been a big deal had Shadow Tag been released, but thankfully Game Freak realized how ridiculous that would be and gave it Infiltrator instead

I know it wasn't good, but it was very novel at the time. First time a non-legendary had Sp. Atk that high.

I know, right? Fuck. Even worse is that a 700 BST mon with no hindering ability is in BL, Salamence has been in UU, the list goes on.

170 sp atk is useless if you don't have the speed to hit things first nor enough bulk to take a hit comfortably.

>Xurkitree
That's because it has mediocre to bad everything else, a disappointing movepool, and no secondary STAB.
>Hoopa-Unbound
No resistances + middling Speed and bulk + useless as fuck Ability.

Hoopa-U is decidedly not mediocre, though. It's the best wallbreaker in OU and has great moves, it makes up for its useless ability tenfold with its incredible stats and movepool + having just enough speed to outspeed everything it needs to.

Hoopa isn't mediocre, but again that's because it has insane Atk as well.

To be fair Kyurem B is in the shitter because of the fact it's forced to be a mixed attacker. Unless if there's another 700 bst in Ubers?

I'll bet money that AV Meta will become a usable mon in OU once Mega goes.

pure electric is one of the worst types to be if you have any hopes of having more than a puddle deep movepool

I know right

That would be just as stupid as Shadow Tag and Perish Song on a pokemon with more speed and special attack
