Has any pokemon been cucked as much as Vikavolt?

Literally everything in gen 7.
>>31577422
>Tentacruel is slow
Where the fuck have you been since gen 1 ?
what can skarmory do to vikavolt anyways? he isn't weak to flying, and with that special attack skarmory probably won't be able to eat a thunderbolt
>thinking Tentacruel is slow
that's just you not knowing

0 Atk Skarmory Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Vikavolt: 118-139 (32.9 - 38.8%) -- 10.9% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
Skarmory pretty much loses, but if you get rocks+cip damage it's a 2HKO and Skarmory outspeeds.

0 Atk Skarmory Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Vikavolt: 118-139 (40 - 47.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

I was really surprised by the Tentacruel. I've never really versed one before in the right circumstance to realize how fast the dude is, I'm not a fan of his design so never used him either and he doesn't look fast at all. I was in the battle tree just using Tapu Lele to sweep and then he comes out, thinking I'd be fine since I -thought- I'd easily outspeed it since it has max speed Iv and Evs and only a neutral nature, then I get outsped and 1 hit.
A real shocker.

vikavolt has a major VGC presence while skarmory is a nonfactor and Tentacruel is a meme.

I don't need speed anymore. Why do you ask?
BECAUSE I HAVE OBTAINED THE CHAOS EMERALDS! PREPARE FOR CHAOS CONTROL!

Except Skarmory's best set is the specially defensive one, retard.
>>31578561
Even with the "OU Specially Defensive" set, Vikavolt can still do serious damage, retard.

upvoted!
>>31577422
Legit didn't know Tentacruel was that fast. Always assumed it was around the 70s.

>Still gets nuked after rocks
Wow, it's fucking nothing
