>>34131944Stakataka can do a few things that will keep it out of the lowest tiers. It's certainly better than all other Rock/Steel types.
>It can set and abuse Trick Room.>It gets a hugely powerful STAB (Gyro Ball at 150 BP most of the time) and 131 Atk>It has enough Def to actually tank a non-STAB Earthquake or Fighting move sometimes.>It can wall most physical attackers which don't have Fighting or Earthquake coverageI think it might do well on dedicated Trick Room teams. Araquanid might be a good team mate for it, it resists all it's weaknesses and is hugely threatening in Trick Room, as well. If you have a Bulu on your team (although I doubt Stakataka will be OU in the end), you can even comfortably tank most Earthquakes in Grassy Terrain.
