Sheer Force and Body Slam are finally compatible and he got a lot of new moves thanks to TRs, sadly it doesnt get Crunch so he cant use Sheer Force to destroy ghost types.

Throat Chop is no different from Crunch.
Its boosted by Sheer Force as well.

It’s something at least. I’m going to start experimenting with it in RU to see if it’s any good there. Steelix rose to UU so Rhydon seems to be the only threat Tauros is familiar with

I have always loved Tauros. Unironically though. Considering it's a gen 1 Pokemon, it actually has a great stat spread. Great abilities and thanks to the most recent moves update, a great movepool.
Currently trying to find a HA one ingame to catch in a Safari ball.

Huh, so it is.
Throat Chop's sound blocking is treated as a secondary effect. That's weird.

They were actually compatible in gen 7 if you traded over a Tauros that knew Body Slam from the gen 1 VC games. Thats how i got mine in Ultra moon.

Can someone explain why Tauros is still so low ranked?
It's got pretty fucking good stats and a solid movepool, with Sheer Force backing it up too.
How is it not more prevelant in the meta?

Still lacks the power it needs to take down major meta players (even with sheer force/life orb). Normal isn'tthr greatest STAB for coverage options, and it also doesn't have a useful speed tier anymore.

Its stats just doesn’t it it anymore. It’s not strong enough to take down many Pokémon, its bulk isn’t bad per se, but Normal typing doesn’t provide you with much defensive utility

maybe I should have clarified that it isn't useful enough to put it in OU like it would have back in Gen 3 or even Gen 4.

Why? It is overall stronger due to the Sheer Force boost and hits Steel types even harder.
Earthquake is unboosted by Sheer Force and gives the LO damage.
