I know we hate one liners, but I just wanna drop this in:
252+ Atk Guts Escavalier Megahorn vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Keldeo: 180-212 (55.7 - 65.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
That's some power on a resist, and Specs Keld doesn't 2HKO the standard RU spread, which I bet could be optimised for OU (Although it does with rocks, spikes, and burn :().
Edit: Quag, PLEASE burn my Escavalier!
252+ Atk Guts Escavalier Megahorn vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Quagsire: 265-313 (67.2 - 79.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Guts Escavalier Megahorn vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Quagsire: 399-469 (101.2 - 119%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Are you mad man!? The power is not ment for mortal men......not even swarmed band hit for thqt much..... this power is not ment for our mortal eyes. I jest of course....only while i still live away from its might.
Escava has been a popular mon and usually it always gets a buff related to burn immunities. With it once been described as a Dry Skin mon, it ended up lacking a lot of power to do what it really wanted at times. Guts doesnt help with longevity but damn does it at least give it a viable way to assault the poor men and women who find it its foes.
Escav's issues will always be a competition with Scizor and sure it can win out in pure power but that has never ment much with all of Scizor's damn versatility. Here it is just hoping to break through by abusing status absorbers while using a great typing. Can it redeem itself further? I really dont know but the mighty knight is something that is given a shot here at redemption.
