>soft not hard
what did he mean by this

get a fire or bug type because grass cucks you

>>33557983
Poliwrath is utter garbage, use Mega Swampert if you want a good physical swift swimmer

>>33558011
>not using poliwrath because hes cool

>>33558011
im not going to abuse pokebank like a fag. and what >>33558024 said

Beartic and armaldo both have access to swift swim

>>33557983
Not using trash like poliwrath would be a good start.

>>33558034
well then abuse GTS like a fag, mega pert is really really good.

>>33558034
>Using Pokemon solely because of their design
Nigger, do you want to win or not?

Anon want us to use Pound on his/her Alolan Raichu, but only a regular Pound, not a critical hit Pound.

Poliwrath
>70 Speed turns into literally 140 Speed in Rain
>95 Attack is a joke for a fully evolved Pokémon, because the average is 115
>decent bulk, no good, just decent
>strongest Fighting-type move is Brick Break, which is only 75 BP while most Fighting-type get Superpower, Close Combat, High Jump Kick. At least it is useful against Alolan Ninetales' Aurora Veil

Mega Swampert
>70 Speed means it literally reaches to 140 Speed on Rain
>150 Attack paired with Rain and Swift Swim is no joke to write about
>great bulk, paired with its already great HP
>great STABs in Earthquake and Waterfall
>only 1 weakness but it is a x4 weakness, at least it can learn Ice Punch, and again, 150 Attack + literally 140 Speed is no joke

>literally 140 speed

No nigga. That's not how it works.

Most common set is Adamant 252 SPE. Which puts speed at 239. In rain that's 478.

That's roughly the equivalent of base 190 neutral nature and 252 SPE, or base 168 boosting nature and 252 SPE. Either way not 140.

>70 Speed turns into literally 140 Speed in Rain
this isn't right, mega pert outspeeds timid mega scept (145) in rain by a few points, but it's still way better than poliwrath

>>33558691
It outspeeds by 51 points. Not even close.
