Galvantula

Galvantula is outclassed offensively by Heliolisk, which sits in a better Speed tier, has access to Dry Skin to deal with the plethora of bulky Water-types in UnderUsed, and has better diversity in its movesets. Galvantula faces competition from within its Speed tier too, as it is filled with other offensive threats such as Cobalion and Infernape.

On top of that, it is held back by a poor defensive typing against many threats, falling to almost anything faster than it unless it can set up Sticky Web beforehand. This typing also leaves Galvantula weak to Stealth Rock, and with its reliance on Life Orb to deal any large amount of damage, Galvantula can quickly find itself struggling to survive against residual damage if left without support.

However, Galvantula provides a useful niche with its access to Sticky Web, which reduces the foe's Speed by one stage upon switching in. To further its offensive prowess, Galvantula receives a blessing in the form of Compound Eyes, which provides a massive accuracy boost to its powerful STAB move Thunder, helping it to compete with the other Electric-types in the tier. Additionally, with Bug Buzz and Energy Ball, Galvantula can decimate some of the more common Electric-type switch-ins such as Krookodile, Hydreigon, and Swampert. With Galvantula's dual STAB moves, most Taunt users are not safe from it, nor are the many common entry hazard removers such as Mega Blastoise, Empoleon, and Crobat.
