Best Steel Pokemon
Chad29:
Now now. Don't fault something for being good at what it was designed to do.
Frenchfry:
Skarmory was designed to be a big smelly jerk of a thick wall of steel and needles?
Chad29:
Scratch out the smelly and jerk part, and yes.
Raikt:
I find that Bronzong would be a much more effective Physical and Special wall if it just had one thing Skarmory did: a reliable healing move. It does have Rest, and Sleep Talk for what that is worth. Still, playing the advocate, Resttalk does have a few advantages.
Roost: Instant healing move. Consistent. It only requires one turn to use. It actually sheds Skarmory's secondary typing. It also only takes up one move slot and leaves a lot of flexibility for move set options.
Resttalk: Instant healing for a full 100% health. Removes all permanent status effects and grants immunity to them. Makes Bronzong extremely durable against a slower team or a team that has been heavily paralyzed. Doesn't need Sleep Talk to work viably.
Moving on past that, however, I still believe Bronzong to be the better wall. Overall, I think it's higher dual tanking ability, amazingly diverse movepool, and sheer unpredictability make him the better candidate. It's also extremely resilient if you have a Wish user on your team.
