>OP used bait!

Nobody competent truly believes this, but a Pokémon with a double weakness should have some very good redeeming qualities to compensate for this obvious vulnerability. Particularly for walls this is an issue, sweepers (eg Garchomp, Salamence) are generally less bothered by their weaknesses because they can hit first.
Ferrothorn has a lot of resistances that make up for its single double weakness, for example, as well as a useful movepool so it's not a bad Pokémon. Scizor has a double weakness and is slow, but it has good bulk and an ability that gives it one of the strongest priority moves in the game. Talonflame in the previous gen was in a similar niche (although it's less bulky, strong priority was what made it shine).

And so on. If two Pokémon can do the same job equally well, but one takes quadruple damage from Earthquake and the other does not, it's easy to choose, no?

Well, I did say solely. Lots of good mons have double weaknesses, but I've seen "Rockruff used Rock Tomb! Ho-oh fainted!" used as a legitimate argument before.

They're not wrong.

"252+ Atk Choice Band Rockruff Rock Slide vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ho-Oh: 400-472 (96.1 - 113.4%) -- 75% chance to OHKO"

Also. What did they mean by pic related?

It is though. Any Pokémon that gets OHKO'ed because of a double weakness doesn't deserve to be anything above UU because they can be countered so easily.

It's literally a meme to post these things. Specs Weedle could tank Kartana's most common moves and OHKO it if it only had Hidden Power.

If you don't like memes you shouldn't be here

252+ Atk Choice Band Hustle Rattata-Alola Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Shadow Shield Lunala: 368-434 (88.6 - 104.5%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO

252+ Atk Choice Band Hustle Rattata-Alola Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Shadow Shield Lunala: 368-434 (88.6 - 104.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

I know it's a meme, but people are using it as the basis of their argument. I've seen a few people say that Power Construct Zygarde shouldn't be Ubers because you can just use Ice Beam.

>Scizor
>Good bulk
Pick one please

Anyone that uses this meme as an "argument" is a clinically brain dead person. It's not even funny.

On the physical side definitely. 70/100/80 + steel type is not exactly frail.

>>30750538
Well some people are stupid. Just because they say something like this doesn't make it true.

Relax, man.
