hes safe anon
gf blessed minior with OU stats
Likely OU. It gets Shell Smash. Meaning it can shit on you even when Shields Down isn't active. If you add Shields Down, then GG.
It looks really good actually, possibly OU
>60/60/100/60/100/60 in shielded form, 60/100/60/100/60/120 after Shields Down
>White Herb+Shell Smash+Acrobatics bullshit
>Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Earthquake, Power Gem, Explosion, Solar Beam, Psychic, Charge Beam, Dazzling Gleam, U-Turn
It has all the tools it needs to sweep pretty efficiently. Has to worry about priority though.
Minior's pretty good.
Its ability is actually well designed for once and isn't some Zen Mode nonsense - you have high defense stats at full health, then lose them for Speed and Offense when it's low. It's BST is on an effective level, very high.
It can learn Shell Smash, which is really good and fits nicely with its concept.
It gets your standard Rock Slide/Stone Edge choice of Rock Moves, Earthquake for good coverage versus Rock and Electric types. Your only Flying Stab is unfortunately Acrobatics (no really, its this pokemon's only Flying Move), but on a physical attacker this is pretty much perfect. U-Turn is also available which is useful in some scenarios.
White Herb + Shell Smash -> Acrobatics on the second turn. A very strong combo.
Its only weakness is it can't really deal with Water types and is very open to common priority moves, but otherwise it has all its other weaknesses locked down.
But overall, a very solid pokemon.
It is a god you fool

Thanks anons, with how bad everyone's favorites are turning out I'm glad to hear gf spared minior
>>29856042
It's basically the other way around.
All the evolved favourites ended up with weird flaws, and all the pokemon perceived as single-stage shitmons turn out to be really useful.
Well except the Dancing Birbs, but even they can be used in Doubles for some cheeky strats.

/vp/ doesn't know anything about competitive.
UU if it's lucky, most likely BL2 garbage.
It's gonna be at least BL. You have to not look at calcs to think it'll be anything less.

Thank fucking christ
I knew I was right to choose this mon on my ingame team from the beginning
Is tortunator salvageable? I heard it's pretty shit but I really like its design.
>>29857687
It's like Carracosta but a Special attacker basically. Also it gets Taunt if you want to use its signature move.
Anyone have the pastebin with the level up/TM moves for every mon?
>>29857763
I can deal.
>>29857687
Its ok. Biggest problem is its awful hp
>>29857687
Turt fan here. I've heard it really just doesn't have much going for it. Its slow and doesn't have bulk or powee to compensate for it. Real shame, love the design. At best he might be able to put work in on the lower tiers.

>It's like Carracosta but a Special attacker
So it is Carracosta?

>Doubles
