will these guys be good in VGC? Archaludon is an evo it will probs have 550-580 BST. it also gets Stamina which is a nice ability especially into surging strikes.
Dripplin could have a niche with its sig move lowering speed and lowering evasiveness so moves can hit more.
Raging Bolt and Iron Crown will be nice depending on their stats which will probably be good. typing matters as well.
They are DLC mons so one of them will be broken like Urshifu so people buy the DLC
This, VGCucks are free money
>tfw you realize that people who play the game are the ones who buy it
>Archaludon is an evo it will probs have 550-580
Could be a Porgon Z or even Scizor type situation

What a useless thing to have said.
I can't imagine Archeludon becoming a better wall than H-Goodra considering how good Hoodra is and the shit stats of Duraludon.
>keep giving evolutions to pokemon with already high BST and perfectly usable ingame like Ursaring and Duraludon
>Hardly anything for johto low bst trash like Ledian and Magcargo, or hoenn slow frail mixed attackers like Cacturne and Camerupt which are a legitimate pain the ass to use even in a casual run
Did Gamefreak put a toddler focus group in charge of balancing
Thats why you ignore official games and play rebalanced romhacks
We know next to nothing about these Pokemon, its too early to tell.
No, a toddler would at least try to make everything reasonably viable. Game Freak actively neglects pokemon so the shillmons can look better.
>Camerupt
that thing had Ace-mon Privilege from Maxie, so it was allowed to get a Mega and have value for 2 generations, that's more love than some starters have gotten.
I used Ursaring extensively in gen 6 VGC.
Clearly you didn't if you think it's not total garbage.
do we know their movepools yet? Archaludon has nice typing but without a huge boost to HP and SpD its going to be pretty dicey in an environment with so many strong special attackers throwing around neutral moves. its pre-evo is also stuck in that too fast for trick room, too slow to deal with meta threats bracket. it will probably have some heavy hitting steel and dragon moves of its own which are decent STABs in the current meta and stamina seems interesting to mess around with
>too fast for trick room
By that logic Cresselia, the best TR setter in the entire series is too fast for TR too
Cresselia can make it work because it is ridiculously bulky and has an amazing support movepool, its not the biggest deal in the world if it winds up going last with TR up because it can take hits while still enabling slow sweepers
just compare their bulk, 120/110/120 vs 70/115/50
The speed isn't the problem, the defense distribution is.
Armarouge was the premium TR setter before Cresselia came back, its bulk is similar to Duraludon's but with more sensible balance. It has medium speed too
This. There's no such thing as "too fast for Trick Room." Trick Room is speed control. If your opponent's team is faster, you set up TR. If it's slower, you stop their TR. If you have Flutter Mane out and your opponent has Regeleki, you set up Trick Room.
Flutter itself has often been used as a setter
If Archaludon keeps Stalwart it will have a niche. Being able to avoid redirection is huge. Dripplin will be used on at least one meme team with a Sleep Powder user. Too early to tell if Raging Bolt or Iron Crown will be usable until we get their stats and typing.
Will dripplin evolve into candy apple versions of appletun and flapple?
Will archaludon have stalwart still?
