>HA (Anger Point) is replaced by Fur Coat
How much more viable would it be?
>>31346767
Not at all, because it's an attacker, not a tank.
>>31346767
it would still be bad
>>31346767
Do people not understand? Ice is a shit defensive typing. Make it a sweeper, not a wall.

>now learns Mach Punch
Bumped by two tiers at least.
>>31347228
I would like to give it the kartana and scyther treatment, providing it with glorious vacuum wave coming from an abysmal special attack
>>31347228
wow man, you know nothing about competitive, do you
>>31346767
Give it Weavile's speed tier and it would be an amazing competitive mon. Right now it's just a Pokemon with a shit design and stat spread.
>>31346767
>learn Sword Dance, Ice Shard and Mach Punch
>change Anger Point to Scrappy or Adaptability
Now it's bumped up to NU.
>>31346767
Its a monstsr if you use it right not much can switch in on it
>>31347309
>just add 100 points of stats and the pokemon becomes good !
>>31346767
That's like asking how to fix Oranguru, it isn't broken it just isn't meant for singles
>>31347727
>GameFreak sees this
>places 100 points directly into Sp. Defense
No need to thank us, Anon

Alot of the Alolan mons have better viability in doubles(Alot of Trick Room attackers, Passimian's gimmick, Ribombee w/its Sig move, Incineroar w/its HA etc). Only the legendaries and Ultra beasts are more suitable for Smogon OU.
>>31347752
It's almost as if they design these games around the only officially supported format. Crazy.
>>31347752
Most pokemon in the game are made thinking about doubles because singles 6v6 isn't a relevant format
But still, Oranguru is amazing, but Crabominable, even under TR, is still very weak and needs a lot of support to be viable

>Crabominable, even under TR, is still very weak and needs a lot of support to be viable
Wut? Crabominable has one of the best STAB combos for an offensive poke and has the attack stat(outdamages Mammoswine) and high BP moves to abuse them(Iron Fist boosted Ice Hammer is ridiculous). If it had Weavile's speed, it would be B+ to A rank OU. Its a solid TR player, but a liability at everything else.
>>31348026
It's just walled and soft countered by extremely popular pokemons atm such as tapu fini and Marowak, araqunid is the generally prefered physical powerhouse attacker in TR teams
>>31348042
Agree on Fini, but Marowak doesn't enjoy Crabhammer and Stone Edge so idk what your talkin about. Araquinid does have a broken ability, but outside of Water moves isn't it's other attacks underwhelming due to below average attack?
>>31348158
just nukes everything with waterium Z
doesn't do much else, but his synergy with P2 is great
>no Mach punch
>no Ice Shard
It's shiiiiiiit.
>>31346795
i don't think you know what a tank is. tanks take hits and deal back damage. you know, like an actual tank?
>>31347663
swords dance and priority alone would be enough to move up a few tiers. it already beats down walls like no tomorrow and sd would help that even more. priority against offensive teams would be ice-ing on the cake. mega abomasnow basically did the same in ru/uu last gen, just with more bulk (and taking the mega spot).
>>31347895
it's absolutely not weak under trick room, this is spoken like someone who's never used it. ice/fighting/ground from its attack stat is very hard to switch into or tank repeatedly. tapu fini alone doesn't change that.
