Please GamePress Remove Omastar from Tier2

Be realistic.

Ok rock attacks are strong but that's it.
Medium bas stats, water gun as best defensive quick attack and double weakness to plants....

What you've picked up on is a mistake on our end where we had listed the incorrect optimal moveset for Omastar on Defense.

Omastar earns his position based on a now-legacy moveset of Rock Throw + Rock Slide. He would be a tier lower without that moveset.

His double weakness to grass is a problem, but a problem on par with the problems of other Tier 2 Pokemon.

Simulation results with Rock Throw + Rock Slide show favorable matchups vs Dragonite, Lapras, and many other common attackers.

The optimal moveset has been adjusted.

I think you should give him a trial run..i have been destroying gyms with Omastar, and that is without any Rock moveset..big fire types with way higher cp's don't stand a chance. Charizard is out of luck as well with flying.
Normal attacks are in his favor so snoralax is screwed (without Quake). Also with even splits on Psychic (crucial) and water almost any matchup seems even or better. Grass is the obvious negative but as an attacker just stay away.
I hope to build another with Rock then lapras is fish food.
I personally don't like him as a defender, more of a special tool for attacking.
I am finished with my essay..
