Sceptile or Eggy
What is the best option as a grass attacker?
Answers
Unfortunately I havent been able to play during the community day, so I dont own one unfortunately. I dont value TDO as much as DPS though, so I kinda doubt, that this statement would be true for me personally.
Im in the convenient situation, that i have a 100% one for each species, so I only have to pick between these two.
I kinda hate Exeggutor. He always bites the dust on his second Solar Beam and then that big chunk of damage gets restored to the raid boss. This has screwed me over so many times.
In practice, I got much better results using Sceptile against Omastar than I did with Exeggutor and now Venusaur with FP means I never have to use him again :D
Frenzy venusaur is crazy good as a grass attacker.
Sceptile is pretty fast, good for dodging and multi bar leaf blade deals consistent damage.
Personally I never liked eggs, feels too sluggish despite damage dealt, just like rhydon. Most of the time can’t fire second solar beam if not powered enough. Bullet seed isn’t the best fast move.
Groudon deals good damage but still feels wrong as a grass attacker. Shame on you earthquake.
They all have different typing and resistance and advantages depending on situation
Thx to everyone for their higly informative replies! I have a maxed Confusion SB Eggy already and thought about adding a second Eggy as grass specialist, as my first one mainly defends gyms between Blissey/Snorlax/Chansey and i was looking for a strong grass DPS option.
But it looked like Sceptile is the more versatile mon and suits my dodge-heavy playstyle better, so Ill go with that.
