Predictability does not stop how destructive Sandstorm abusers like Doryuuzu and Garchomp can be, though.
This.

Rain teams are 3x easier to handle than Sandstorm teams. You only have to really worry about Kingdra.

On Sandstorm teams, you have Garchomp, Dory, and even Randorosu is a pain to handle in a Sandstorm. CB Sand Power Randorosu hits like a freaking truck in a Sandstorm. It easily 2HKOs Gliscor without max HP/Def investment... with STONE EDGE.

Nah, Hydration and actual defenses ftw. Also the fact you can still have stuff like Kabutops and Kingdra on your team is pretty nice. Basically, including Manaphy in the mix is too much imo.
Dealing with Rain is sooooo much easier on the PO server.

That's why you're saying Rain is more devastating. You're playing on the P.O. server, haha.

I really think N should've been Abstained because it never got proper testing due to NOBODY ACTUALLY USING IT. Its votes were based on Deo-A's.

It's still Sand > Rain once you get past 1300.

N isn't much different. It being able to take weaker priority in exchange for a bit less power still puts it in the same class as A.

I don't want sand to be the best but it pretty much is :/

Why is this in this thread? Into The New World was the appropriate thread for this.

This thread isn't even needed really. It's like a weaker weaker version of Smogon's suspect testing / discussion.

I haven't been able to access Smogon. Did they ban just TagLure or all DW pokemon?
