Ok actually
ScraftyIsTheBest pretty much convinced me on Feraligatr so I'll leave that.
I know that Poliwrath to C is mean but you have to be strict here! The problem is a lot of the RU community has fixations onto Poliwrath from him being so good in other stages, but a large variety of things has prevented it from being as good as it is now. Like I said in my last post, Alomomola is almost definitely going to be the better choice when it comes to a Water-Type wall thanks to wish passing. Due to Alomomola being used now, along with Slowking being the king of RU (heh) and Tangrowth still retaining popularity there are now 3 Regenerator Pokemon commonly used in RU which means that Poliwrath still relies heavily on team matchup that the opponent won't have one of these, which is easier said than done. Furthermore the number of Grass-Type Pokemon in RU that can take it out, specifically looking at Sceptile here, is actually pretty large considering Rotom-C and Rotom-N can smash it with Leaf Storm or ThunderBolt, and Rotom-N is immune to Circle Throw whilst resisting Scald. My issue still lies in the fact that yes, he can do this niche, but most of the time you need a lot of team support to take out these counters, preferably cleric support as well, and Poliwrath is weak to many common attacking types (Grass, Electric, Psychic and Flying come to mind) and honestly isn't awfully powerful.
"It's decent at countering Absol, Durant, and Escavalier"
Ok I already have an issue here, it appears that you are still using the physically defensive set but honestly I see more utility specially defensively from experience using him. It's only 5 less defense but now if you want a physical Water-Type Wall you go with Alomomola.
252+ Atk Life Orb Absol Superpower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Poliwrath: 139-165 (36.19 - 42.96%) -- 97.36% chance to 3HKO
252+ Atk Life Orb Absol Superpower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Alomomola: 155-183 (29.02 - 34.26%) -- possible 4HKO
252 Atk Life Orb Hustle Durant X-Scissor vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Alomomola: 187-222 (35.01 - 41.57%) -- 79.83% chance to 3HKO
252 Atk Life Orb Hustle Durant Superpower vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Poliwrath: 169-199 (44.01 - 51.82%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Escavalier Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Poliwrath: 141-166 (36.71 - 43.22%) -- 99.15% chance to 3HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Escavalier Megahorn vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Alomomola: 276-325 (51.68 - 60.86%) -- 94.14% chance to 2HKO
Ok so yeah it it a situational counter to Escavalier, but for the other two Pokemon Alomomola does it better. Now I know that it's whole niche is to phaze and I've already explained why that niche is rather poor in this current metagame.
Before I move on to Tauros
Top B is not bad let's be honest we'd be happy if our favourite underrated Pokemon was Top B which is apparently what Tauros is for several people.
Tauros is perfectly fine where it is tbh. The reason it uses Fire Blast to beat some of it's counters such as Steelix, Tangrowth, Escavalier etc. I would use Fire Blast>Sub just so it doesn't get worn down quickly and Tauros performs amazingly in End game so it's nice to keep it around. Tauros has amazing speed for this meta as it outspeeds some of the biggest offensive threats in the metagame (Durant, Galvantula, Moltres, Sigilyph and some more) and OHKOs them with respective moves. Tauros performs amazingly against Offense. But when it is up against stall it is pretty hard to make it work as you stated it is hard walled by Alomomola and Spiritomb can take a few hits and burn also. Other then that Tauros is one of the best wall breakers in the tier even though it struggles with stall and definitely deserves Mid A.
So Tauros already has 4MSS in whether to beat Steelix, Tangrowth and Escavalier or whether to not be worn down as quickly with Substitute. Tauros does have pretty great Speed, I admit, but then you have to realize that beating Durant is against situational and you already said you prefer the other attack.
"Tauros performs amazingly against Offense. But when it is up against stall it is pretty hard to make it work"
One Pokemon immediately shot into my mind when I read this: Kangaskhan. Kangaskhan is up there in Mid B. Tauros is similar to Kangaskhan but without the priority... but it does have more power, and arguably good matchups more of the time than Kangaskhan, but not always. Yes, I would say that Tauros is better than Kangaskhan, but not by all that much and I would like to use this as evidence that
Tauros is Top B worthy.
"Ok I simply don't understand how you came up with Miltank outclassing Tauros. I don't play RU as much as everyone else here, but I used Tauros quite a lot and I can easily say there's no way Miltank can do what Tauros does. Bull can outspeed a big threat named Durant and OHKO the ant with Fire Blast, and nothing enjoys taking a Sheer Force boosted Rock Climbs. It does have problem with Ghost-types, but teammates are here for this and honestly its not like Spiritomb or Absol were hard to put on a team. About it being wall by Steelix, Tangrowth and Escavalier, look at these calcs:
4 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Tauros Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Tangrowth: 250-296 (61.88 - 73.26%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
4 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Tauros Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 36 SpD Steelix: 195-231 (55.08 - 65.25%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
4 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Tauros Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Escavalier: 276-328 (80.46 - 95.62%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
They are all 2HKO on the switch, I wouldn't say those three affect its viability since one of the best things about Tauros is how he lures them to support its team. As for Miltank itself, it is really weak and has a LOT of problems to go pass Steel-types or Tangrowth. They also have whole different niche since Miltank, from what I know, is more used to check Grass-types with Sap Sipper while having a good 100 Speed to work with. While Tauros simply does totally different things such as cleaning late game with strong Sheer Force boosted moves and surprising those physical walls with a decently strong Fire Blast."
Soulgazer I didn't say that Miltank outclasses Tauros I said that it gives him competition, there is a huuuuuge difference. Yeah he can defeat Durant but honestly Substitute is the better option to use most of the time. Rock Climb is also surprisingly inaccurate, a big no-no for wallbreakers. I wrote that post with Substitute in mind since honestly since it is usually better than Fire Blast which I have said a lot. When Tauros was moved up his niche was a powerful Substitute and 3 Attacks Pokemon and I would have liked it to stay like that since that's honestly where it performs best. Before you mention it I have tried Fire Blast and it really didn't come all in handy.
Onto Miltank I mentioned this in my post about Miltank moving up, it can run many sets one of which is the Sap Sipper set you mentioned there, but he can also use Life Orb to good effect. Something she has over Tauros is Milk Drink with her Substitute to let here recovery and attempt a clean twice. Furthermore,Tauros still only has base 100 Attack and Miltank has 80. This is quite a drop, yes, and they do play kind of differently I suppose but that's the point of competition. If one was strictly better than the other I would have said outclass, competition is where they do similar things but play kind of differently thanks to different attacks or stats which is what Miltank does. I would now like to suggest
Zangoose gives him competition as well, since even though he is not quite as fast he is far more powerful. He is also worn down easily but it has similar coverage and even has priority attacks. The main difference here is a stronger STAB (even after Sheer Force) which is also more accurate and even the ability to use Swords Dance. Now the downsides are that he is much slower than Tauros and is smashed by several things hard in RU, but as a
wallbreaker it is probably one of the best in the tier since it can actually break down walls -- not a Tauros wallbreaker where is can't hurt Alomomola or Spiritomb.
252 Atk Toxic Boost Zangoose Facade vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Alomomola: 262-309 (49.06 - 57.86%) -- 53.13% chance to 2HKO
252 Atk Toxic Boost Zangoose Facade vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Alomomola: 262-309 (49.06 - 57.86%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252 Atk Toxic Boost Zangoose Facade vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Tangrowth: 195-229 (48.26 - 56.68%) -- 34.38% chance to 2HKO
252 Atk Toxic Boost Zangoose Facade vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Tangrowth: 195-229 (48.26 - 56.68%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252 Atk Toxic Boost Zangoose Night Slash vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Spiritomb: 99-117 (32.67 - 38.61%) -- 99.39% chance to 3HKO
(ya that's just a 3HKO so no point doing Stealth Rock)
Oh, hey, Zangoose is Top B which is also where Miltank
should be, let's have Tauros join them there!
