>>53610361>Again, it is mediocre at best in a format where Kyogre, Calyrex-Shadow, and GMax Charizard were firing off bullshit strong special attacks everywhere.Yes, Calyrex Shadow is a bad matchup.
Kyogre could deal with it if it hadn't take chip, maybe. GMax Charizard was a finnicky matchup that depended on play. Neither of those are outright negative, ESPECIALLY compared to Flutter Mane's genuinely shitty matchups into Chien-Pao, Kingambit (especially with the rise of AV and Flutter Mane dropping Tera Fire, making Mstical Fire woefully weak when it counts), Corv, and Talonflame. It has to worry about being outright oneshot without getting much progress done itself in these scenarios. Zacian was rarely put into a state where it would have to play on the backfoot or risk being wasted because, chances are, it often just bided it's time until it could click a funny nuke button and either watch something explode or take a big chunk out of an opponent's skull and render them and invalid against it's teammates. Flutter Mane doesn't have that, despite its offensive prowess. The most problematic it gets is being paired with Chi-Yu, which has it's own host of problems.
>Primal Groudon also only had 1 weakness due to its abilityA weakness that basically necessitated it hit physically because barely any top threats slotted in Earth Power when it was prominent. It's special bulk was still good enough to take plenty of neutral special hits and then some.
>Xerneas could frequently snag OHKOs on Fug with a scarf setHOLD UP, A POKEMON folds to an SE BASE 95 POWER special move coming from BASE 131 sp.attack!? Move over Flutter Mane, this guy's made of some real wet paper!
>anything below that is mediocre at best.Zacian's bulk might've been mediocre (not shit, retard), but Flutter Mane's is outright bad, even in such a low power level. Zacian wasn't folding to neutral priority and barely-invested attacks from base 87 offenses.
