(OLD) Viability Rankings

(02-08-2017, 01:47 PM)amiableMortician Wrote: so, for the SS ranks, I get Inflagetah and I-M (super-fast priority users with power boosts) as well as archilles and its mega (drought and one of the best offensive typings in the game), but what'd the deal with syrentide-Mega?

M-Syrentide is considered amazing because it's an incredibly bulky water type with access to an incredibly powerful STAB move in Pixielate Hyper Voice.  Familiar with CroCune type sets?  Stick that on M-Syrentide, but with Hyper Voice instead of Scald/Surf.  Nothing's immune to it (barring HA Beliaddon, who gets destroyed by water moves anyways if you decide to pack that instead), it's got a much higher base power than those water moves, and 98/128/158 defenses with full physcally defensive EV investment is bulky enough that it can setup reliably after forcing the opponent to switch as long as the Nuclear types and incredibly powerful grass and electric types have been defeated already (and you can't kill it with stall at all without taunt).  The vast majority of players find that combination of good traits in a bulky water really difficult to deal with.

And even without the crocune set, M-Syrentide is still an incredibly bulky water type with a lot of power. It's pretty much the epitome of being a bulky water type in Uranium.
