PU Role Compendium

[Froggyboy]

Add Stunfisk to Fire-type checks. Can switch into most of them, take a hit and can either cripple them with T-Wave, or OHKO them with EP.

 

[TONE]

Prinplup is still listed under Fire checks.

 

[Raiza]

Even if it's not that popular, I think Tentacool should go in Hazard Control anyway, it has enough niches that set it apart from other rapid spin users.

 

[noobcubed]

I'm surprised that there isn't a section for phazers - that's a very important role for certain team archetypes.

Here's a start: Poliwrath, Lickilicky, Grumpig, Avalugg, Zweilious, Munchlax, Vullaby, Quilladin, Leafeon, Flareon.

 

[MaroGod]

Add Solrock to fire checks its a solid one
And
Dodrio to BP users also

 

[MZ]

CB Klang :S

 

[Dundies]

Poliwrath for normal checks and Chatot for Choice Scarf

 

[Twix]

-Dodrio in Baton Pass
-Add another Category for Taunt?
-Another Category for Trappers (Probopass + Pursuit)
-Vibrava in Hazard Control
-Clefairy in Healing Wish

Yes for Taunt users, but at this point make a category named anti-leads and put them there.
I don't think trappers deserve a category because it's too niche, Pawniard doesn't even run Pursuit most of the time, Krokorok is too niche, and Probopass is the only real trapper, though it can only trap Steel-types, which aren't a lot, also Pawniard screws it if it runs Low Kick.

-Vibrava in Hazard Control

I strongly agree with this. I also think that Vibrava should be placed at the top of the Hazard Control list because it is resistant to stealth rock, unlike every other pokemon listed under Hazard Control.
I think Vibrava should also be placed into Electric Checks because it does such a great job checking Zebstrika. Obviously it's immune to Volt Switch and Thunderbolt, but Overheat and Hidden Power Grass barely do 20% of damage.

 

[Magnemite]

Not adding Vibrava yet because it's not C+ rank, if it ever gets there i will add it

Is this a rule for the resource in general, or just for Vibrava specifically? Because, if it's a rule for the resource in general, Wigglytuff is in the same Viability rank as Vibrava (C) and yet Wigglytuff is listed under stealth rock.

used to be higher

 

[Magnemite]

Oh yeah, I have to update that; I'll do it now.

 

[MZ]

Change dual screens to dual screens/memento and add jumpluff, dusknoir and misdreavus. Basically do the same setting up thing but better lol

 

[Raiza]

Stallbreakers/Wallbreakers:
add monferno, ninjask, articuno, leafeon, machoke, arbok, dodrio, floatzel, servine

Priority Users:
add machoke, monferno, floatzel(?)

Hazard Control:
add Vibrava

Scarf:
add stout, rapidash
Band:
add floatzel, basculin, linoone, rampardos

add gabite to sr users, electric and fire checks

 

[MZ]

Why tf was marowak ever listed under SD. It's too low ranked and shouldn't use it now anyway, but idr it ever really using sd well

 

[Ranbu No Melody]

Remove togetic from momentum

Banded Rampardos is unviable, as life orb 4 attacks does a much better job dismantling slower teams with its good coverage and much better survivability.

 

[Choice Banned]

Zebstrika to Flying Checks

 

[moonbase]

archeops to leads (ik its like using a swiss army knife as a hammer, but its pretty usable)

 

[MZ]

archeops to leads (ik its like using a swiss army knife as a hammer, but its pretty usable)

You know, if it was PU. But it isn't. But if it ever drops, I imagine lead would be viable just like it is in NU. Where it actually is.

do you mean archen?

You mean Archen, right? A focus sash Archen with Taunt + Rocks + Endeavor wouldn't be the worst thing I guess, although I'm not a fan of suicide leads in general.

 

[moonbase]

I meant arch

I meant archen sorry
