>>44841686>how can it be pulled off? wasn't rillaboom banned during this season?Banded Thwackey (not perfect but works) + Unburden Beat Up user. Also, Rilla is not banned for the Cup. Also, less reliable but possible, Dynamax Virizion to give yourself Grassy Terrain that way.
>one of the worst defensive typings availableWeak to Fairy, Fire, Ice, Poison, Psychic, Flying which are typings more SpDef based + 129 Base Stats in SpDef + pair well with Fire type Intimidaters for its weak Defense stat. Only Flying attacks are scary to be fair but not as bad as some think.
Terrakion is weak to Fairy, Fighting, Grass, Ground, Psychic, Steel, Water which is more, are commonly/overly used types and harder for it to deal with. Terrakion's Attack is just too good to be passed on.
>lacks the bulk and offensive presence cobalion and terrakion haveSame Base Attack Stat as Cobalion + Need only 4 attacks to deal with all its weaknesses which the other two can't + Resists big types like Electric, Grass, Ground, Rock, Water.
Cobalion resists more typings but not more better typings.
Why not as used then? Harder to synergise in teams, Airstream can be scary, less autopilot than the other two. Also Rillaboom and the need for terrain control.
