So, I just did some testing with Roktavor on Xtreme and um
Drain Fafnir Polish Atomic vs. Roktavor 8-Meteor Xtreme
dFPAt - 5/10
R8MX - 5/10
Roktavor Win Rate - 50%
Closer than I thought it would be. Roktavor is really good at bursting and occasionally KO-ing Fafnir. Most of Roktavor's losses came from missing it's attacks and getting outspun.
Alter Chronos Polish Atomic (imbalanced mode) vs. Roktavor 8-Meteor Xtreme
aCPAt - 8/10
R8MX - 2/10
Roktavor Win Rate - 20%
I was planning on testing both modes of aC against Roktavor, but the usually worse mode thrashed it so thoroughly that I decided it wouldn't be worth it, haha. Both of Roktavor's wins were KOs.
Neptune Spread Atomic vs. Roktavor 8-Meteor Xtreme
NSAt - 3/10
R8MX - 7/10
Roktavor Win Rate - 70%
This was actually really surprising. Roktavor was pretty consistently bursting and KO-ing Neptune. However, my Neptune has been used for almost a year, so tooth wear might be screwing over the results. If anyone can do a follow-up test with a mint Neptune, please do.
So, in conclusion, I think
Roktavor could actually have a place in the Takara Meta? This definitely needs to be more looked into, though. Thoughts?
