>>38104085>it doesnt need a z crystal to functionthats its best set and leftovers is really bad on it. its niche is longevity which it gives up by trading its z refresh.
>it checks the best pokemon in nu being incineroartheres tons of incin checks in the tier, just being a water type not named slowbro is good enough to check it atm and it hard loses to z incin.
+2 252 Atk Incineroar Malicious Moonsault vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blastoise: 388-457 (107.1 - 126.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Leftovers recovery
it cant even switch in on the swords dance or else it loses to incin. it cant even beat stall breaker incin
0 SpA Blastoise Scald vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Incineroar: 116-140 (29.4 - 35.5%) -- 100% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
it only beats defensive pivot and flame charge power trip incin.
>big whoop theres some spin blockers that you can dispatch with a dark typerotom can volt switch for free on every dark type that pivots in on it and obviously wont stay in if you are going to attempt a pursuit trap, dhelmise extremely fucks almost every pursuit mon in the tier bar absol which needs to do a 50/50 to even kill dhelmise since its 2hko'd by anchor. pursuiting in nu is bad in general. the best dark type in the tier doesnt even use pursuit.
>rotom doesnt like getting poisoned and dhlemise cant switch in without risk of getting burnedthey block the spin and force blastoise out. they dont have to kill blastoise, just prevent the spin and force you to take more hazards damage.
>why do you keep dancing around thisim not dancing around it, you seem to think blastoise is good in nu just because of the viability rankings. you didnt even address the point that it sucks nuts in the metagame, why are you dancing around that? why are you dancing around the fact that its threatened out by the best spin blockers? why are you dancing around the fact that it lets in grass types for free which are the most threatening type in the metagame? see how stupid that phrase is
