Leads

Noticing that there are a lot of Gengar leads in this forum. But, why do they do that when Weaville's are just as popular and faster? Really, I don't find Gengar the best lead when you play an experienced player. Jolteon is faster than both Gengar and Weaville and could fight them off. Shadow Ball on Gengar and Thunderbolt on Weaville. Metagross is a great lead as well, Weaville should be in one hell of a problem if it is used as their lead.

I have seen Salamence and Garchomp leads, and to the people who read this, please know that Weaville would KILL it with just one Ice Punch. And Tyranitar leads, the same is said as Weaville has Brick Break.

Starmie leads as well, Jolteon and Weaville will have a field day.

Gengar in my opinion, is now not the best lead in the game due to Weaville and Jolteon. Metagross walls it to end. I have other Pokemon, I just have to find them now...
 
Gengar @ Focus Sash
- Counter
- Destiny Bond
- Hypnosis
- Shadow Ball

Destroys any Choice Weavile leads who think they have an instant kill with Night Slash / Pursuit.

Weavile isn't even that common as a lead. You obviously don't realize that these Garchomps and Salamences can switch.

Swampert and Bronzong are probably used more as leads then Weavile. Salamence OHKO's some Swamperts with specs Meteor.

Breloom is also just as common as Weavile leads. Mence beats 'Loom.

Weavile is not the only lead, understand that please. Jolteon is never used either, both Electvire and Raikou completely outclass it.

Well, the other Pokemon could be holding Focus Sash as well, and anyways, if Hypnosis misses then it's over. 3/10 (30%) chance missing isn't great...

And what would Breloom be holding if it's a lead? Because Weaville is way too fast for it.
 
It would be "using" Mach Punch.
 
@ Toxic Orb
Protect
Mach Punch
Stone Edge / Seed Bomb
Spore

Also I said Choice Weavile leads with will straight out Night Slash / Pursuit the Gengar causing them to die from Counter. Adamant Weaviles will lose to that Gengar even if they have Focus Sash.

Hypnosis isn't used with the Gengar until it's absolutely needed. Which, against Weavile, it isn't needed.

Although tbh I don't know why people use Garchomp leads. There's very few leads that will be at a disadvantage against Garchomp. Plus, imo, 'Chomp works better as a late game sweeper and not showing your opponant that you have Garchomp until it's too late for them to do anything about it i much better then showing them it on turn 1.
