>Galvantula is slower than an overweight cat.

Kek.

>>27851256
Just train that spider to have its Attack minimized and Speed/Special Attack maxed.

I like to use the bugger as an opening act for a Spider Web set up before letting it stick around to see just how much damage it can do before fainting. Compound Eyes + Thunder and Bug Buzz is pretty good.

~100 speed doesn't mean what it used to mean

Sash doesn't mean shit in doubles, the superior metagame.

Audino.

Aside from it not being a Fairy type initially for whatever reason, its stats just aren't up to par.

People think pokémon with high HP give out high EXP, but in reality EXP yield is just a hidden stat for every pokémon.

It should have had 133 HP if not higher. It's way below where it should be to fill the niche it was meant to.

>>27851312
It's mostly muscle.

>>27851339
Galvantula was during an age where 100 speed was considered the benchmark.
So was Garchomp with his troll 102 speed.

Power creeping is a thing unfortunately, especially blatant with speed tiers nowadays seen.

>he plays doubles

>>27851339
You act like 108 Speed is somehow below average. How many viable teams do you see running around with more than one Pokemon naturally faster than Galvantula?

How does gf go about making stats for new pokemon?

>he plays singles

have fun with your increasingly overcentralized stallfest that even Gamefreak gave up trying to balance for a long time ago

>>27851492

Doubles is the official format and what the game is actually balanced around.

>>27851374
But it does you fuck

>>27851533
if doubles is the "officiol" meta then why wasnt their doubles in gen 1, 2 or 3?

>a Focus Sash
>mattering in Fake Out: the Meta

A sash actually matters maybe two in five times. Also the second Galvantula springs on the scene, it gets ganged up because any non-inattentive foe can just smell that Sticky Web raring to come on out.

>>27851630
>Fake Out
Run Protect

>>27851630
>running Sticky Web in doubles in the first place
Plenty of things make great use of Sash you idiot, Fake Out doesn't help if you Protect, or if you spring Gant on a Pokemon who's already used it.

>>27851504

Durant, Diancie, Lati@s, Gengar, Raichu, Azelf, Starmie, Greninja, and Weavile are all viable and common Pokemon that outspeed Galvantula and the majority of them have the offensive options to shut it down either singlehandedly or in conjunction with an ally.

But I need all four moves I currently have anon


Sticky Web and Thunder Wave; there's a toss-up to be made about whether Sticky Web will be worth it against a given team. If they have lots of Flying-types or levitators, and ESPECIALLY if they have something Defiant, it's better to opt for paralyzing as many things as possible instead.
Thunder for main STAB.
Struggle Bug for secondary STAB and to fuck with special attackers, buying allies a bit more bulk

>>27851877
Run fucking Electro Web if you have to, you should have multiple speed control options anyway, Gantaluva doesn't need both Sticky Web and Thunder Wave.
>Struggle Bug
Stop.

>>27851374
It's arguably more reliable with no entry hazards to nullify it. This year, smeargle, weavile and gengar (when not mega) and even Fug run sash most of the time.

>>27851533
>le only stall exists in singles
Nice meme. The majority of teams don't run stall.

>overcentralized
Not as much as VGC, where every fucking team has Salamence, Groudon, Kyrogre and Kangaskhan.
