I agree with Gary about Zeraora. I think it’s going to be like Buzzswole was in Sun/Moon. People will look at its stats and think it has a niche as a fast mixed attacker and it’ll start around B-. Then people will realize it’s not even that good at that and will slowly drop until it’s unranked...

I rather have Flash Cannon over Signal Beam. You already have Moongeist Beam for Psychics and Signal Beam is neutral against the most common Dark type.

If Ultra Necrozma got Draco Meteor then it would be a serious threat (still not S rank though). Without it Dragon Pulse doesn’t really OHKO anything. Uninvested Giratina-O has a high chance to live after Stealth Rock while an uninvested Draco Meteor OHKO’s it back.

I think it’ll end up in PU with maybe a little use in NU. Nasty Plot gives it a niche but it doesn’t have the coverage or speed Naganadel does and it has to rely on Hidden Power to get by its checks.

Assault Vest does easily. Even Choice Band has a good chance of surviving.

The Z-Move and Dusk Mane are definitely Ubers. I think Dawn Wings is worth testing in OU. You had things like Aegislash in OU at the start of Sun/Moon.

The issue with that is you’re not killing anything else if you used Draco Meteor unless you were already at +2.

Phermosa has way better speed which really put it over the top. There’s numerous things in OU faster than it and things like Mega Alakazam and scarf Latios can revenge kill it pretty well unless Naganadel itself is scarfed.

I meant to point this out but forgot. +4 Jolly is still slower than +140 and up base Pokémon.

Yeah it’s not getting banned from OU but with Weavile it’s a 50/50. If they switch out then it lives and you’re stuck in Ice Shard. If you expect the switch and click Pursuit but they stay in then you’re dead.

I was thinking this thing was basically just a slightly stronger Salazzle but it's actually pretty good. It's defenses are bad but they aren't terrible and it has some decent resistances. A lot of walls can't do much back to it and those that can are either OHKO'd or heavily chunked.

They should have added 6 to every stat except special attack. It would give it the same 570 BST and prime number stats as all the other ultra beasts.

Choice band might be interesting but Lando-T walls this thing hard without hp ice.

If we’re comparing it to OU then 61/101 is pretty underwhelming for a wall, especially one without recovery.

This thing gets Psyshock to get by special walls. Hard to think of what can actually wall it besides Tyranitar.
