Aggron's Speed is quite low, limiting its abilities without any sort of boost to its Speed, but with the +2 boost from Rock Polish, Aggron can sweep teams with just one setup opportunity and some entry hazards to help it out. Aggron is most commonly seen utilizing a Choice Band with the mentioned moves, but can also function as an excellent Rock Polish sweeper.

Coverage moves include Earthquake to create a pseudo-EdgeQuake combination, Aqua Tail for Hippowdon, and Ice Punch for Flygon, Breloom, and Celebi. Since Aerodactyl is a Rock Pokemon, it also gets a boost to its Special Defense in sandstorm its a decent Pokemon to pair with Tyranitar or Hippowdon.īase Stats: 70 HP / 110 Atk / 180 Def / 60 SpA / 60 SpD / 50 SpeĪggron's physical bulk is simply monstrous, and access to the coveted Head Smash + Rock Head combination and a solid 110 base Attack give it the power to fit in among the titans in OU. What's more, Aerodactyl is faster than Starmie, Gengar, Infernape, Zapdos, Shaymin and can OHKO or 2HKO them all. With Taunt and Roost, Aerodactyl has no problem destroying Skarmory, Gliscor (without Ice Fang), defensive Dragonite and more. Underrated but extremely good in the current metagame, the Life Orb set is a perfect stallbreaker in addition to being a pain for offensive teams to handle. In addition, it has a strong STAB in Stone Edge or even Rock Slide if you want to flinch your opponent. With access to Taunt, Aerodactyl is the perfect lead for every offensive team. That statement fails to underscore Aerodactyl's effectiveness, as it is best lead in the metagame. Aerodactyl's most known set is the lead one. Since its STAB moves leave it walled by Steel-types, Hidden Power Fire and Earthquake are often used to hit Steel-types, or even Focus Punch for Blissey and Snorlax.īase Stats: 80 HP / 105 Atk / 65 Def / 60 SpA / 75 SpD / 130 SpeĪerodactyl is the fastest Pokemon in the metagame and in a metagame like the current one, this isn't a minor detail.

Abomasnow also has access to Seed Bomb and Energy Ball as other STAB options. Other options include a non-Choice mixed attacker with Ice Shard and sets utilizing Leech Seed. Its best bet is as a mixed Choice Scarf user, using both of its STAB moves and two coverage moves to revenge kill Pokemon weak to its moves or just generally frail Pokemon. It has access to powerful STAB moves in Blizzard and Wood Hammer, a STAB priority attack in Ice Shard, and decent coverage moves in Earthquake, Focus Punch, and Hidden Power Fire. It has a few somewhat decent offensive options throughout its limited movepool. Offensive Threatsīase Stats: 90 HP / 92 Atk / 75 Def / 92 SpA / 85 SpD / 60 SpeĪbomasnow's use lies in that it is the only viable summoner of permanent hail.
