I wouldn't be surprised if it got Rock Blast, would be much better than Stone Edge. Icicle Spear is unlikely, but would be powerful. Bug/Fighting/Ice/Rock is amazing type coverage alone, but every move being at or above 120 BP would be insane. I can't think of any Pokemon that commonly runs four moves with such high base power. Special Dragonite is the only Pokemon that comes to mind, actually. Maybe if you count Hydro Pump Cloyster, but that's only three moves.
Drud has a BST of 485, a speed of 40 and no bulk or priority to justify that either. There's quite simply no way anyone who is compotent at this game could possibly argue that is anything near decent unless you have massive conformation bias.
Physical Special was horrible handled and destroyed as many pokemon as it saved. It was nothing more than a redistribution of power, not the creation of.
Again, none of what you say here is true.
You can design for them.
Maybe its changed since I was permabanned from Smashboards but it was always told that you must uphold debate hall standards to all sections of the site."Debate Hall rhetoric"
You can report me to whomever you want, and they aren't gonna do ****.
He has everything laid out just right for him, but he's not even UU. The fact of the matter is, he's reasonably bulky and has a meaty attack stat. Couple that with a perfectly respectable movepool in a tier where Pokémon aren't all that tough, and he does more than okay. 90 in the defences and 120 attack is pretty respectable for RU/NU, and B/W doesn't even favour blazing speed thanks to all its priority spam (not to mention Drugddigon can learn Sucker Punch too).
There was never any doubt that Dragon is a superior typing, but that was inherently part of its design, but also could be mitigated by stat restrictions, movepool restricitons, secondary typings etc, but GF decides that every generation instead of performing sensible tweaks, they'll throw another spanner into the works to completely throw everything off. If they were so smart and knew what they were doing, they wouldn't be ****ing things up harder with each release.
It opens up every pokémon to make good use of its STAB and its offensive stats, the only reason you have that complaint is because GF were dumb enough not to create enough parallel moves.
You're completely ignoring the fact that later gens added a lot more moves, stat exp if anything allows for more moveset flexibility than EVs. Again I'm not saying EVs are a terrible idea, but they are more restrictive than they need to be (and up until now had the worst implementation of any mechanic I have ever seen).
The Debate Hall is a complete and utter fossil. Nobody gives a **** about it, I only even joined back in 09 because Zero Beat asked me to. I never cared for the place, and I never cared for the Debaters, I thought they all cared too much about a place that meant too little. You may be right about that rule that they had, but whatever significance that place had has long since dissipated into the ether of history.
It's just Dark Magician.
