>>44925655>Chansey is also completely fucked by a physical set:If the Nidos aren't running Fire Blast and Ice Beam, they're Lando bait. And once you scout Superpower it's easy to switch in an offensive Flying type like, say, Gyarados or Salamence.
OP's Nidos are essentially stronger, slower, frailer versions of Lando-I and the same arguments against Lando-I apply here. Except unlike Lando-I, you can also run Lando-T so there's no opportunity cost problem and no Knock Off threat.
>252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Nidoking Sludge Wave vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Chansey: 243-289 (34.5 - 41.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth RockAnd even after Eviolite is kill, Nidoking needs a high roll to kill Chansey at under 42%. Nidoqueen has a 6% chance to 2HKO after switching into rocks twice.
The king/queen have impressive movepools but all it does is force people to not use security blankets like pex, heatran, corv or ferrothorn. Gastrodon and even Snorlax can also handle them well.
