Milotic vs. Blastoise?

2 minute read

This is gen 8 VGC, rank battles.The questions ask it all: Milotic or Blastoise?I want to know some of the following:In a meta game full of physical attackers such as Rillaboom and Cinderace, which one of the above can effectively check most of OU in SS?Milotic has a niche ability with competitive, allowing it to pressure some dynamax moves and scare off intimidators. However, it’s lack of defense should be worrying. Is it still viable to go with Milotic still?Blastoise on the other hand with a herb can be devestating (Shell+smash and Gigantamax has killed me so many time now). The one downfall for Blastoise is its lack of an efficient attacking stats, being 83 ATK. and 85 spAtk. However, it has relatively nice bulk and with its hidden ability, can be dominant in rain teams.To the gist of things:Rain team, Milotic or Blastoise?Non-rain, Milotic or Blastoise?It’d be nice if there could be movesets and EV spreads and justification and best teammates for each Pokémon. Thanks :>

Definitely Milotic, it got a much higher stat and good recovery movepool and toxic stall, suprisely, it could also use coil, dragon dance and hypnosis which means it could also be a psychical tank / sweeper.If you said a rainy team, none of these two are good, I’ll suggest Swift Swim Chice Spes / Scarf Kingdra, it’s access to do more sweeping.Saying of Raining team, Pelipper will also in, its ability drizzle helps a lot.Milotic Set:Milotic @ LeftoversAbility: CompetitiveLevel: 50EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpABold NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Scald (Has a high chance to burned opponent, good power and perfect acc)- Ice Beam (Cover)- Recover (For good recovery)- Haze (remove opponent’s. stat boost / lowered)Simple set of mines, it works pretty well :)

Kingdra:Kingdra @ Choice SpecsAbility: Swift SwimLevel: 50EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeModest NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Draco Meteor (High Pow, stab)- Hydro Pump (Stab)- Hurricane (Kill grass type, coverage)- Flash Cannon (Kill ice type, coverage)Strong, fast in rain, my best set I’ve used :)

Pelipper:Pelipper @ Damp RockAbility: DrizzleLevel: 50EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Hurricane (Stan, and why not)- Scald / Ice beam (Two good move)- Roost (Recovery move, lost flying type, which sometimes a good thing)- U-turn (Switch for kingdra)No need explain, right?

~Hope it helps!
