Thats true don't get me wrong... I'm here just thinking in ways and ways to stop it, so it clearly has much power on this Tier. Even if theres a counter that does the job nicely (can't get it perfect), Granbull is kinda OP here
Sableye has 50 base speed;
Granbull has 45 base speed;
Assuming that Granbull doesn't invest on speed (wich most likely don't) Sableye goes first with 30IV speed;
Granbull would need 31Speed IV and 36evs to hit 70 speed that is Sableye's 30IV 0 Ev Speed
Sableye is a good option, as immune to Normal..
252+ Atk Choice Band Granbull Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 77-91 (49 - 57.9%) -- 62.1% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Granbull Fire Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 58-69 (36.9 - 43.9%) -- 100% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
You can play with Knock Off (taking that choice band) and protect to do the extra leftovers recovery.
It also has acess to Recover/Moonligth to regain health and or PainSplit to put that Granbull in bad hands.
Endure + Pain Split with choice knocked + Recover is a no attack set but deals well with Granbull and has some utility versus other pokes...
What are your thougths?
Well I have a 4x31 Absol just sitting there like [25+/25+/31/31/31/31] I'm gonna risk it and make a mixed one...
Any hidden power he would benifit or that set is close to his best?
You reckon that would be the best UU Absol? I'm stilla bit lost on UU and NU but want to climb up on those tiers..
I want to make an absol to see if I can hold him well in battle
What nature would he be better with this moveset?
A 252 SpAttk Absol reaches 139 SpAttk, with Calm Mind that reaches up to 209. His SpDef would be 120 with CM. I'm new to UU but those stats seem good.
My strategy would be to enter the battle against someone who is afraid of Absol and when it switches do a CM. Then see what I get..
I know it lacks STAB but I think it could surprise some
So mixed absol?
I want to try a Special Absol :o
I will run him with Calm Mind and Life Ball so, if I can set up should be doing a good damage in UU..
Moves will be Flamethrower, Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball or I could try Hidden Power Physic, what you think?
And about the nature, should I go Modest or Timid? Why?
