SubRoost is probably more viable than CB, and definitely more viable than mixed

Not to mention that we aren't in a "Scizor metagame" anymore.

CB Aero would be the physical equivalent of Specs Jolteon imo, with very similar stats, and virtually the same coverage. The only big differences I can see are typing and the fact that Aero doesn't have Baton Pass.

But yeah, the drop in Scizor does make SubRoost a lot easier to use. I just don't like the set on Aero. But hey, it'll probably go in, bcos you all seem to want it to. xD

And oh yeah, take the mixed set out. Fire Fang grants you all of the same OHKOes and 2HKOes, with the exception of Skarmory, who is shut down by the other sets thanks to Taunt anyway. Oh, and did I mention that also means you don't have to take EVs away from Atk and Spe?

You know back in my day, we used mixed Aerodactyl due to the fact that Fire Blast had a 30% burn rate and could completely rape the bulky ground / rocks (and Exeggutor I guess). Then again, its only other moves were Hyper Beam, Double Edge and Mimic. Unless you really like Fly.

More than a decade later, this is now outdated and useless. Like Delta said, Fire Fang is the best option.

Fair point. It is a bit outclassed. I just like it lol. I'll remove it in time.

OK, I've added SubRoost into the analysis. It looks a little messy to me, so if someone could proofread the whole thing, that'd be great.

This one's virtually site ready, imo.
