>>58030468No, but it hasn't shown up since it's debut. They seemed to intentionally sabotage this mon, for the... laughs I guess? Which is infuriating because it was never going to be very good in the first place with its BST and statline. I think the mains sins are:
1. Locked it into an ability that is mostly detrimental since it has a great default typing and can't set any terrains itself. If you pair it with a terrain setter, it'll usually just become the setter's type, making it redundant.
2. They changed it's primary attack stat to physical, without giving it any Steel physical moves. It's strongest Steel moves were special, plus Terrain Pulse, which could synergize with it's ability, was special. It would have been literally better off if it kept Stunfisk's statline.
3. They also switched it's best defensive stat from Special Defense to Physical, so now it's directly competing with the likes of Steelix whereas it could have been the most specially defensive Steel/Ground type.
It also missed out on moves and abilities that seemingly could have worked for it, like Jaw Lock, Steel Roller, any Terrain move, Iron Barbs, Arena Trap, even Sand Veil lmao
