Will it be good in ultra sun and ultra moon?

Unless it got plus 50 Speed
Not even speed boost would help

Unless it gets a drastic speed boost or for some reason it gets the defenses to justify its speed, no.
He is already good enough. In doubles at least, not in single.
Anyway for USUM they will not change it's stat so it will stay slow as fuck. The only thing they can do is give it new moves with move tutor, or a unique Z-crystal but I don't think it will happen.
This thing needed No Guard Zap Cannon or something. There is no small thing that can make it good, it needs a big change.

It has its nice in the current VGC, though it going to drop in usage on the National dex rotates in.

>Getting rid of fucking Levitate
why is it described as fast and why does it look fast
>>32729872
No Earthquake user you'd use this for a free switch-in against is remotely in danger from Vikavolt.
>>32729898
This, why does it fly? They should have made it like Forretress and made it more like a tank or turret. Levitate is helpful but ultimately useless.
it is an alternate reality or whatever. maybe we'll get alternate stats.

>Vikavolt even gets outsped and OHKOed by things like Golem and Hippowdon
I'm trying to find this funny but it's just so depressing
>>32729898
Maybe its top speed is fast, as opposed to its spontaneous speed.

A Gyarados that hasn't reached +1 would be forced to leave, at least. But you'd be looking at a semi-rare, predicted-to-be-EQ-carrying Gyarados who specifically came in just to EQ something, instead of boost or use a STAB. The set is rare, the situation is rare and the Gyara's decision in that situation is suspect.

It would need to get a unique move all to itself, like a priority Electric attack or a counter move just to be good. Example:
Sneaky Surge
Attack: 40
Accuracy: 100
Effect: This move always goes first.
Shield Option
Attack: N/A
Accuracy: 100
Effect: User goes last. If it is targeted by an attack, it avoids the attack and inflicts paralysis on the attacker. This move fails if the target is already paralyzed.
>>32728832

>>32729983
This, it needs to collect speed power-ups aka Agility to speed up from its slow default.
>>32730132
For Shield Option, why not have work like Spiky Shield/Baneful Bunker/King's Shield, where it's a protect clone but paralyzed if targeted for an attack.
Unless the entire game and all PvP battles have a perpetual trick room effect, no I don't see it happening.

Ground hits it neutrally due to Bug's Ground resist. You're in as much danger from EQ as you are from Return. Fire and Rock are much greater dangers.
