    • @sadykdanny
      @sadykdanny 4 роки тому +5

      @@shellnut8224 Tauros is effective because he limits your answers. The speed + crit rate play a huge role in this. Lax is sorely missing this, as such he doesn't threaten as much and can be picked off by faster pokemon in a pinch, whereas Tauros can sweep if given an opportunity. While Lax can reflect + rest to heal up, doing so is a risk considering the high crit rates in RBY, unless used against slower pokemon such as opposing Lax. I wouldn't consider this combination a reliable check/counter to Tauros.

      @@sadykdanny To break Lax with reflect up it takes 2 crits in a row, that is a 1/25 chance which Tauros is not banking on. Furthermore, the ability for lax to pressure stuff without fearing Thunder Wave or any chip at all makes it much more applicable in my opinion. Tauros is bloody good don't get me wrong but I find lax is better due to how much more freely it can come onto the field.

    • @sadykdanny
      @sadykdanny 4 роки тому

      @@shellnut8224 @Shellnut You're not wrong, Snorlax comes in and out of battle with ease if it is rest/reflect. The only problem is when your opponent is taking advantage of your Lax by burning sleep turns on their Zam or Starmie during opportune moments and safely switching to their Lax, resting up and repeating. You can lose serious momentum against teams that do this, especially when these psychic beasts wake up and terrorize your team after Eggs has long blown up. Not to mention rest/reflect takes 2 moveslots leaving you with either body slam/eq or body slam/ice beam, which ice lax takes advantage of the former and gengar takes advantage of the latter. There are also other tricks like baiting ice beam from ice lax onto your switch to Lapras. God forbid your opponent has both and gets mix up opportunities that get them in for free and start causing trouble. Fortunately, neither are common, but it should be noted. Tauros will not stand for these tactics, however. Get Tauros in for free on a sleep turn and you will be rewarded. With high attack power and speed, most things have to be able to take 2 hits, and that's not including crits or para. Against Snorlax, you get to fish for crit, which gives you a chance to remove an important threat. Everything else can get paralyzed and hacked. There is no other pokemon that can threaten everything in the pokedex like he does, whether it be with crit body slams/hyper beams or its perfect coverage options. If he comes in, someone has to go down. That level of threat is mandatory for a team to function.

    • @shellnut8224
      @shellnut8224 4 роки тому

      @@sadykdanny I do agree Tauros can definitely deal more damage it gets in, the problem is that it is scared by paralysis and can't heal, so it can't come in as often as Snorlax can which limits how much damage it can do overall. As an example, if there is a paralyzed Chansey at 78%, I can't use Tauros to punish since it just twaves my Tauros and cripples it, but I can punish with lax since I am not crippled by Thunder Wave and can heal up any chip it does for later. It is the ability to bring Snorlax in over the course of the game so much more readily that allows it to have more overall impact on the game in my opinion. Yes, Rest can be punished by the opponent but you can read those punishes and attack them as they come in. It probably comes down to preference, but I prefer a pokemon which is able to have a consistent impact in the early and midgame since it can come in often and do its job and them more rather than a pokemon which gets immediately crippled for the rest of the game when the opponent predicts right and twaves me on the switch.

      Some "normal" Pokemon like Garchomp and Aegislash went to Ubers, because how dangerous they were. Also some "common" Pokemon were very good in OU for many generations, like Chansey or Tyranitar.
      The same situation was with Tauros - it was practically the most used and fearsome Pokemon in OU - because of high crit rate, Hyper Beam being OP (and Tauros gets STAB from it), and the fact Fighting-type sucked in Gen 1 (mainly due to lack of good Fighting-type attacks). Only few select Pokemon could defeat him

    I still lament that GF decided to start deleting moves Pursuit was one of the few things keeping some Pokémon in check
    Rock climb was actually a nice move though it would have been better off as a rock move
    and that doesn't even get started on how many mid to early game moves were removed for seemingly no reason as many of those literally leave a type with no offensive stab options prior to end game.
    At least Tauros got some new move options....

    • @CharroArgentino
      @CharroArgentino 4 роки тому

      I don't think they would be that great, in Gen 1 there wasn't much that resisted an Hyper Beam, and if they do, they got a free hit and that's it. In current gens, mispredicting an hyper beam means something will set up in your face and potentially sweep your team, the risk is much higher. Not to mention many pokémon have moves that hit harder with less drawbacks and they aren't broken at all, same for pokémon with absurdly high atk/spa like Hoopa Unbound, who's not even close to Uber material.

    Honestly, I can see Tauros do something in VGC coming up - Its got Intimidate, is fast, and has a decent all around movepool. Icy Wind for speed control and Surf for Weakness Policy shenanigans could be really fun

    • @Julian-rc3iz
      @Julian-rc3iz 4 роки тому +2

      Tauros doeas have some niches in VGC, it does have intimidate but it is outclased by multiple other intimidators like Incineroar and Lando-T, Tauros also doesn't like facing them because then he is rendered useless by intimidate. As a fast icy wind user it's not the best, pokemon such as Alolan Ninetals or Tornadus-I outclass it by being able to do other things. Tauros also struggles to hurt important pokemon such as fini or metagross, and it is destroyed by multiple fighting types like urshifu or G-zapdos, and zapdos actually loves intimidate tauros. The most uses it has is with anger point+frost breath frosslas, however it is not super fast and is often cut short of it's sweep, and redirection and sucker punch being around doesn't help either.
