Tauros

Tauros is arguably the best offensive Normal-type available in RU, eclipsing the competition thanks to his wonderful combination of power, coverage, speed, and durability. Looking at his stats, the first thing that strikes the eye is his excellent base Speed stat, which is high enough to let him outpace a large portion of the unboosted metagame. Although his base Attack stat is not sky-high, Tauros has access to Sheer Force, an ability that boosts the power of all moves with a secondary effect by 30%, so most of his moves hit fairly hard. Luckily, his movepool is wide enough to make use of his ability, and the coverage moves at his disposal, most notably Fire Blast, hit a large portion of the metagame for super effective damage. Moreover, Sheer Force allows Tauros to run Life Orb without having to worry about recoil damage slowly wearing him down. This is particularly important because he has good bulk when compared to the many fast and frail attackers in the tier, and preserving it can help him survive weaker attacks or even attempts to revenge kill him. Despite all of these positive traits, Tauros is not a flawless Pokemon; in fact, his potential in the tier is hindered by the fact that he is countered by several rather common Pokemon, such as Alomomola and Spiritomb, and checked by a number of other prominent threats, most notably Golurk and Rhydon. Another thing that keeps Tauros from being an unstoppable force is the fact that he usually relies on moves with imperfect accuracy, and this can sometimes limit what he can accomplish throughout a battle. That said, Tauros is still an outstanding Pokemon in the tier that has the ability to tear apart teams when properly supported by his teammates.
