>>50052835I think Urshifu has a good shot if they confirm Agile/Strong style or something similar again since they are so obviously potential Evolution methods to use instead of the Tower stuff if it returns.
I'd bump Samurott and Typhloshion up one, people are obviously wanting to use their new forms and if Owl makes it so will they, the question is if their "siblings" will too, I think Theivul will can be moved down a spot because while it is a "new" mon people are obviously underwhelmed by it due bad first impressions (its Pre-evo having a Attack moveset when it is a special at the start of the game makes it seem MUCH weaker then it really is, it is actually pretty neat if you give it a shot, have it get Snarl and let it use berries to trigger unburden, it's main issue is that G-Zigzagoon and its evos exist and have the same routes.
I really hope Litleo/Pyroar makes it cause i have been getting the urge to use it and Oricorio recently, but i also feel like run the risk of just "falling between the cracks" and end up being forgotten for several gens in a row.
>>50052758Both are hot but i agree Single Strike has a slight edge, but Single Strike also suffers because Fighting/Dark feels like a worse typing then Fighting/Water to use to me, i think Rapid can use Kings Rock+Surging Strikes for multi-hit flinching shenanigans, it ain't Skill Link, but it works when it works and Urshifu is pretty fast.
I think the main deal is that while SS has less weaknesses being it also doesn't really have that good defenses since everyone and their mom carries Fairy coverage, so that one 4x is basically feels worse then all of the 2x of RS put together, even though statistically it shouldn't cause Rapid Strike has 5 2x weaknesses and Single Strike 2 2x and 1 4x.
