People still think that Rhydon can't take special attacks today. Why?

I thought this was the Dracovish counter. Which one is used more?

>>41807934
Might have something to do with the 45 SpDef.

Dracovish is used more than Seismitoad if that's what you're asking, but the two aren't comparable.
They serve completely different roles.

Why is this guy OU?
It's only as good as whatever it's up against, so it should really be allowed in every tier.

I meant defensive vs. offensive.

>>41809478
Because tiers are determined by usage. They might make an exception for Ditto though, there's an argument for it.

Is that true? Then how come shit like Lando T didn't end up in Ubers despite being on so many teams?

Ubers isn’t a usage tier that just so happens to be playable.
Ubers, UUBL, RUBL, ect. are all ban lists.
OU, UU, RU, ect. are all usage tiers

Huh. That seems like a silly way of doing things.
I always thought they were based on how good the mon is, and usage was just a good way to determine that.

Dynamaxing gives a bunch of stat boosts depending on what type it is and also sends out 3 nukes consecutively that you can choose from too.

With how difficult it is to counter play Dynamaxing defensively and even offensively, Ditto has become the universal blanket “check” to Dynamaxing (even if Unburden is anti-imposter) since it will just use the snowballed effects of Max moves against the user.
