![]() Equilibra is a lot less susceptible to entry hazards than Heatran is, and because of it, Libra can afford to take a Knock Off a lot better than Hetran can. While a Fire immunity is nice, Equilibra's Ground immunity is generally preferred, and the utility Libra provides in Doom Desire and Rapid Spin is typically better than what Tran provides. > A-: Heatran is still quite good, but I find that it's generally outclassed by Equilibra in terms of being a bulky Steel-type. ![]() Trace gives Jumbao some really unique switchins, namely, it can block Volt Switch from Zeraora and eat Magma Storm from Heatran and proceed to force them out. Scarf Jumbao is a really great revenge killer with its Leaf Storm + Moonblast + Focus Blast coverage being very difficult to switch into outside of Slowking-G and Toxapex, and is also a great answer to SD Garchomp. Being a decently fast, offensive Fairy with a Ground resist is really great right now. ![]() > A-: Jumbao's unique typing and access to Trace make it able to check a variety of mons in the tier. While Knock Off can be annoying for it to deal with, it can still be avoided for the most part and Zapdos can continue coming in and providing momentum for the team. The few mons that can switch into all 3 of its attacks still lose momentum against Volt Switch(with the exception of Zeraora) the most common ground types in the tier are Garchomp, Landorus, and Equilibra, the former two get roughly 2hko'd by Hurricane, and Equilibra can't threaten Zapdos while taking significant chip from Heat Wave. It's extremely difficult to switch into even without SpA investment and it's basically free to click Volt Switch more often than not. The Defog set is solid but nothing to write home about, but 3 attacks + Roost is insanely good right now in my opinion. It's able to dismantle the classic Tomo+Libra cores, as well as being a reliable answer to Tornadus-T, Rillaboom, and Cawmodore. > S: Zapdos is able to check so many threats in the metagame while being extremely difficult to be switched into itself.
