How are you supposed to kill this fucker. He has both massive defense and special. I've seen him shrug off massive special hits and just recover back from them.

It gets worse if he ever got an Iron defense off. Then he could just straight up kill you with Body Press.

How'd it take them 9 generations to make a good tanky mono-rock type? Why other others like Gigaliath and Regirock totally lacking in recovery?

I was thinking about trying this guy, is he really that good of a boy? Does Salt Cure last until switch or KO instead of just a few rounds? Would Careful be a good nature to beef his Special Defense?

It lasts until your opponent switches.
Even when you switch, it stays in effect.

Iron Defense is better
You have only two free slots after IronDef/Curse and recover, and Salt Cure doesn't deal much direct damage to bother, and Body Press gets boosted twice as fast with IronDef (not to mention that you can skip on Attack EVs)

I found having the attack boost helping a lot vs special attackers switching in to prevent a sweep, which just nukes them and gives them only a single turn to attack me. but I agree curse takes too much time to be viable, even with sand.

Each rock types usually have one or two good things going for them that are completely overshadowed by huge weaknesses. Garganigger meanwhile can recover, has both a great physical defense and a suprisingly good special one, its very own donutsteel move and ability as well as access to body press + Iron defense. The only weakness this Pokémon has is shit speed, which really isn't a big deal with how much of a tanky mofo he is

Just Recover alone puts it head and shoulders above every other Rock-type.
