>>52539421>>Resistance to Ghost-Types>Doesn't matter.But it's nice. And free with the rest of the ability, so it's just an extra bonus type matchup. Plus (although it's a waste of tera) it was clearly designed to go tera ghost against fighting types, so this neutrals one of two weaknesses.
>>Immune to statuses>Sandstream is better.Yeah, but you can have both. Just because there are better options doesn't mean it's not good- and a bunch of good things make an excellent pokemon
>>Salt Cure inflicts 1/8 of enemy HP as damage per turn along with the damage dealt when it is used. Does even more to Waters and Steels.>It's better to just immediately crush the opponent with 135 ATK moves instead of stalling for 8+ turns and praying the opponent don't have any ways to recover HP.Most pokemon can't recover hp. Also, it definitely isn't better on bulky water types. In general, the dot is threatening on fast mons that would survive one 135 attack hit no problem
