I guess that's fair, I can definitely see it dropping, it's definitely not a mon that hardly ever puts in work though. It puts in a lot of work if used right, but you're right, it's not splashable.
It's simply due to its initial speed being higher than any other viable water type in the tier. Base 85 is pretty decent.Can somebody tell me why Seadra is ranked so high? I really don't see what niche it has, as it doesn't have Swift Swim to take advantage of Rain Dance, and even with Agility I still don't see why you would use it over Huntail or any other Water type tbh.
It's like playing with a huntail that doesn't need to set up before being threatening, and yes that base 85 is actually huge in the tier where the major speed tiers are 95, 80, and 55Can somebody tell me why Seadra is ranked so high?

Hey thank you. I actually just found this online by googling disaster area. In this match it bothered me that raseri did not hit quick attack with ponyta at 3:49 and just let it die. If you watch you will see what I mean.Capt Forest Right now all of the older showdown replays are not working right now, here is a match on Raseri channel between 2 good players
Hey i appreciate the quick response. I did notice a ton of toxic protect shenanigans going on in the games i was able to get my hands on. That is a fair point. Lets assume i continue the build posted above with either f punch or psychic. I think that hp fire might be the safest bet due to mawile being able to resist both psychic and dark.Capt Forest
ADV NU is so full of toxic that a slow building CM sweeper like Sableye won't work consistently unless you go the CM Rest Sleep Talk HP Dark route.
If you insist on using CM Recover, then the best 4th move is going to be something that lets you beat Dark resistances in the tier. Mawile and Hitmonchan are the two most notable, so Fire Punch is the best bet. Psychic could also work to immediately take on Hitmonchan if you have Diglett to trap and remove Mawile.
