>>33756141>Rock/Steel isn't really that bad, though,Because Aggron and Bastiodon have done so well with it!
Even Aggron, who manages to ditch "Slow and defensive" with a good Autotomize+Head Smash set is still PU. Strange, huh?
>especially if its defense raises once or twice from beast boostAnd just how is a defensive Rock/Steel type going to do that?
>fighting types aren't quite as popular as they once wereAnd yet Fighting Coverage never quite seems to die.
>so you'd just have to play around earthquake usersWhich is approximately 50% of physical attackers. And a solid 10% of special attackers with Earth Power.
I take it we are ignoring the weakness to Water, and lack of meaningful resistances besides Fairy, then?
>It being OU depends on its other moves, thoughI guarantee you this. Take this thing's stats. Double them. Ignore the 255 cap if neccesary, just for our beautiful baby boy. BST 1140. It still won't break NU. Rock/Steel cannot overcome having a solid 300+ bst over the next highest pokemon, Mega-Fug.
