40 BP isnt enough for a main stab, so you have to use stone miss to deal any damage and is not even compatible with tough claws.

4MSS, kinda frail, Stone Edge doesn't get Tough Claws so you're left with its good-but-not-great regular attack stat

Can't kill bulky grass, ground, water, or fighting types without wasting a moveslot just for them, and it needs support to setup due to being so frail.

>Being monotype is shit for an offensive mon since they can only get stab on one type
>Main rock type moves don't activate tough claws
And those stats aren't even that impressive. Weavile, dragapult, tapu koko hit harder and are faster

It's stated in TCPi's marketing guidelines that not a single Rock-type Pokémon is to be shown beating a Pokémon of any other typing.

110's not too slow, Lati@s, Kart, Blaceph, Gengar, Mienshao, Zarude are that speed or slower and are all great mons. Lycanroc just has more problems

110 is pretty decent speed.
Lycanroc just isn't strong enough to consistently score KO's, and struggles to set up due to frailty.

Doesn't +2 Tough Claws-boosted Close Combat break through almost everything that rock can't? Honestly asking, I don't know

It's OU viable but to be top tier you need something spammable asf as an offensive mon and it lacks that. Had it a phisical stone edge maybe

Tangrowth, corvi take less than 80, if you are able to set up. You are also forgetting Lando and slowbro who takes 70 from crunch if you have it

Too frail
Tough Claws doesn’t work on Stone Edge
You’re just better off using Hawlucha anyways.

It makes contact, so Tough Claws buffs it.

It's good, the main reason people don't use it is because Smogon players don't like to play that way.

If Stone Edge doesn't make contact, then it should be like Shell Side Arm where it can be physical or special depending on which stat is higher.

Not gonna lie I really wish all three Lycanrocs were better. Dusk is good, but Midday and especially Midnight are pretty bad. Both in a standard game playthrough and in competitive play.
