@LovelyLuwuna @Guiller66014654 @c_ragone Plenty of pokemon outspeed Aerodactyl under Tailwind.
In time, you'll realise that every meta has a dominant threat and teams without an answer to it won't work well. It's rock slide this format and it'll be something else next format. That's the nature of the game.
@LovelyLuwuna @Guiller66014654 @c_ragone Exactly, now you're forcing the Aerodactyl to choose between Dual Wingbeat or Tailwind. All you need is another lead that can punish this.
My point is that pokemon is full of options, I understand it can be frustrating when you can't identify it but counterplay exists.
@LovelyLuwuna @Guiller66014654 @c_ragone Why shouldn't you be expected to counter a high usage move? Usage rates don't define viability, Whimsicott is great here with a faster Tailwind and Taunt. Double Rock Slide leads get punished by Wide Guard, it's something I can take into account when teambuilding
@LovelyLuwuna @Guiller66014654 @c_ragone You can fake out or taunt it. I also didn't say you need to outsepped it, trick room also exists. I'm not a fan of Aerodactyl but there are many ways to counter it.
@Guiller66014654 @c_ragone So basically you lack speed control, you played too passively and let them set up tailwind, or you ignored the possibility of tailwind+rock slide in team preview.
@IsEltyr@riopaser Flash fire is good at the moment with Delphox and Charizard only running heat wave as their fire type attack. It forces them to power up Ceruledge if they want to click it.
