Replies in bold and italics.i dont think ground+ice+the ability to smack bulky waters in the dick is bad coverage, but i concur that it's kinda lackluster against offense
It's coverage would be ok if you didn't factor in all of its other traits that I mentioned
slowbro, rotom-w, alomomola, manaphy want a word
So basically the only way this happens is if they switch in and once it's revealed you know its set at that point cause M-Glalie isn't exactly the most versatile of mons and provides a very linear aspect from a practical standpoint. Most of these such as Slowbro are 2HKOs so in this case for example you're now running the risk of getting paralyzed and Slowbro now just leaves and heals back the damage it lost. This is a very situational circumstance of course but all in all Freeze Dry on M-Glalie is as well.
glalie does work against balance, in the same way that mgarde does work against balance
Correct me if I'm wrong but you're trying to imply that M-Glalie has equal value to M-Garde? I don't understand this because M-Garde threatens much more playstyles with its offensive movepool, ability to stallbreak, a better typing to supplement its movepool and synergy with teammates. So from what I can tell M-Glalie threatens Balance equally as to M-Garde yet M-Garde has more access and diversity to threaten such builds? That's difficult for me to accept if that's what is being implied.
well if glalie is a wallbreaker, it wants double edge so it could break skarm and when the time comes, sac itself to get a free switch into a cleaner and its not supposed to last all match anyways
So the B-/B is a good ranking for something you yourself have just established that it wears itself down intentionally and let's something else do the work for it? This to me doesn't seem that great of a viable option in that category when you're basically establishing to both newer and veteran players that mons such as M-Sharpedo are on an equal playing field to M-Glalie. Sure they provide different elements so comparing and contrasting can go either way but in the way of how they compare towards the meta something like M-Sharpedo can actually provide much more usefulness through its ability to clean along with coverage options.
can you name me wallbreakers that dont wear down alot? gengar, terrakion back in XY, and mix thund are all top-notch wallbreakers that dont last that long.
The difference is that their coverage hit a much larger pool of targets on top of Life Orb boosts, stallbreaking utility, ability to set up, much better offensive synergy, and typing that allowed for more room for team synergy and without the cost of even being megas. These mons are or the most part much more self efficient than M-Glalie is along with providing support to teammates at the same time.
gonna tag MegaScizor because he's better at arguing than i ever could be
