So I am looking to use one of the fossils on my main team in sword(Intelleon, Roserade, Runegrus, Dubwool, and Hatterene), and debating on either Dracovolt or Arctovolt. Since we can't get their HA's I am looking at just how they are now.
Their signature move is super impressive, becoming 170 power if they move first, but their speed isn't the best. Dracovolt has average speed at 75, but Arctovolt is quite bad at 55. even without hitting first you have basically thunderbolt levels of power.
Dracovolt is Electric/Dragon and is our first non-legendary combo of that. Its more focused on Physical attacks, and gets the Hustle Ability, letting it hit super hard with those withe a decrease to Acc. Giving it a Wide Lens item helps a bit with Accuracy, making it more like 88% acc instead of 80(though does wide Lens accuracy calcultion uses Hustles numbers, or the original numbers? like would it increase by 10% in the move was originally 100% or 8% if its using the 80% number), and also gets Aerial Ace, which ignores Acc all together for at least 1 move hitting always. Otherwise it has Volt Absorb like Arctovolt.
Arctovolt is I beleive the only Ice/Electric in the game other then Rotom Frost. its much slower then Dracovolt so it won't get that double damage as much off. It does get Bolt/Beam coverage and freeze Dry, making it a major threat to all water types in the game, as basically nothing resist it other then shedinja and like 3 pokemon. with its other coverage moves and can be a mixed attacker, it has a bit more coverage the Dracovolt. Its other aility isn't as good though as hustle, so best to just stick with Volt Absorb.
So I am not sure which is better... leaning a bit towards Dracovolt due to being faster to hit with that double damage more often, plus hustle could be interesting one it, but I see positives to arctovolt too.... what do you guys think?
