Why Iron Valiant Is A MASSIVE THREAT In Gen 9 Pokémon 

Maybe not that bad, not being forced to run a 90% ACC move is good

@@lalad0it gets spirit break

@@googleisgod963 and it's really bad What I meant above is that if it had play rough, sure it would be a strong Physical fairy stab but its 90% accuracy brings some unreliability that it fortunately doesn't have to face in its current state.

@@lalad0 I’ve used spirit break in singles and it works well. The fairy coverage is needed and it sweeps after a single swords dance

I prefer Pokémon that are more versatile and some limitations so then they actually have a reason to use that other option

it's my favorite competitive fairy type, Mawile stays close to me.

I mean gambit is never not gonna be fun to look at

​​@@Ed_man_talking9mawile is another level of broken lol, I loved sucker punching things and watching their health bar deleted from even neutral things, even more broken than gambit though gambit can abuse tera so it's much more annoying

Yeah but iron valiant has the two best stab moves for its type in the game, both gengars stabs were physical so it was both cool but also annoying to only run coverage moves

Meow usually dies early and iron valiant tends to be brough out more late game as a cleaner or sweeper, also meow is often sashed instead of scarfed and has a lot of options it would rather run than play rough like taunt knock off uturn spikes sucker punch, and even in a scarf set it may prefer trick over play rough

Those other options are why it dropped to UU for a bit, this is a valiant killing build. As I explained my RNG is bad and I always lose the speed tie with valiant even though I played maxed speed booster energy/scarf builds, literally 12 times in a row, I counted then stopped running valiant since, scarf max speed meow is awesome(play rough, knock off/sucker punch, brick break/flower trick, uturn), one shots valiant(90% acc on play rough). protean means it survives valiants fairy/fighting move even if play rough misses and it still has versatility, bare minimum being uturn pivots that almost always hit first, even one shot enemy meow (mach punch breloom bullshii stops it maybe but else it's a free pivot or knock off). Most of the time you just uturn pivoting with meow. My style is heavy pivoting with uturn on meow(scarf), cinderace and dragopult(both adamant banded) and volt switch rotom. Cinder and Drago tera fire/Dragon, pyro ball/ drag darts one shots nearly every, speed valiant counters both so that's where meow comes in. Got thick pex for spd defense wall and infestation bleed locking and thick def tusk for spin and bulk up/spin sweep, with knockoff just in case and body press. Solid team for the most

I’m gonna be so mad if kingambit doesn’t get banned. If the guys who are voting have honesty and morality it should get banned, but you never know these days…

I’m actually voting for kingambit to stay!! BUT I’m no fool to its power & know damn well people are going to band that thing into oblivion!!.. although if it wasn’t for Tera he would be a lot more manageable… as for IV… I’ve actually never ever had a problem with it… it’s pretty strong but frail… scizor scares it out… or trying to force the opponent to send it out earlier than expected that way it can either be checked ( which will force it out ) or cost the opponent to sack it… but it is a nice Pokémon. A mix between mega Gallade & mega Gardevoir

Anything ranked S tier is always a huge threat.

@@BrendonCap I don't recall anyone ever calling great tusk "a huge threat" ever since the generation started. There were a few people that didn't like gholdengo, but I don't think that they hate it any more.

​@@itsbeyxnd I'm advocating form them banning the problem, tera, and not the Pokemon. More Pokemon are just going to abuse it once kingambit is gone..
