[Guide] [Competitive] Yatagaryu
#4
Wow, this guide was fast! Surprised me when I say it a couple of days after it was mentioned, really! Excellent job on the guide, mate! This thing is almost as bad as the Green Demon, but at least this thing has far more counterplay to it that just trapping or switching in something faster than it!


I have a question for you: Is the Thunderstorm and actual form of weather, like Fallout in this game? If that's the case, M-Archilles or HA Encartress can play havoc with and nullify their main STAB's effectiveness, and help Support their teammates like Coalith/Cocancer and M-Drilagan to come in and have a party!

There is also Misty Field users like Winotinger or Miasmedic to consider, which can neuter the godly dragon's other STAB on top of providing Status immunity. Motor Drive Tracton is also a counter to Yatagaryu, as it can soak up a Thunder from a Choice/Non Choice set, and use the Speed Boost to either run the thundery wyvern into the ground, or use Shift Gear to set up even more if they switch out and have a prime opportunity to do some sweeping itself. Its weak to Focus Blast, yes, but that doesn't matter if it can outspeed it and nab it with a Dragon STAB of its own!

CS Technician Alpico can come in with either Icy Wind or Moonlight Blast to devastate the drake, while M-Kiricorn or Quick Feet Oblivicorn can outspeed all non-Choice Scarf sets of the Dragon and retaliate with an extremely painful Play Rough. Its also possible to just stall it out of existence with M-Sableyes, as it has more than enough bulk to be a pest, and can use Knock Off/Toxic and Recover/Moonlight/Pain Split along with Protect to slowly whittle it away. It could also try setting up on it with Calm Mind + Healing Move, and fire off Dark Pulses at it until it retreats or is vanquished. Frothra can also be a problem if it already has a QD under its belts, as STAB Ice Beam or Frost Breath would cool of its rampage really quickly!

Regardless of what Pokémon you use to try and fight this Live Wyvern, though, its going to be a steep uphill battle, as nothing is quite safe from its wrath! Honestly, if this thing gets banned to Ubers, I wouldn't mourn its loss at all. Its equally lethal as Nucleon in the right hands, and almost impossible to stop once it finally get full steam. A truly frightening Pokémon to behold!
Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.
