Rapid-Spinner options of Gen VI?

Question

What are the new options, and which are viable in which tiers?
Most people are still using most of the Gen V spinner sets, and there's a lot of new threats against these guys as of recently...

Guys. Excadrill is a brilliant bulky spinner

Answer 1

Ubers:

The only Pokémon that can learn Rapid Spin and are even considered using in the Ubers tier is Excadrill and perhaps Mega Blastoise.

Excadrill

Mega Blastoise

Forretress (thanks HaunterTheGhost)

OU:

Excadrill (thanks HaunterTheGhost)

Mega Blastoise

Starmie

Tentacruel

Forretress

Donphan

Cloyster

UU:

Blastoise

Claydol

Kabutops

Hitmontop

Avalugg

Because of the weather nerf in Generation VI, I'm pretty sure Drizzle + Swift Swim in now viable. If that's the case then Kabutops could possibly come out of RU and be in UU.

I'm not exactly sure where I should place Avalugg, since the Gen VI tiers have not been released. But I doubt it's going to be placed any higher than UU, so it's a choice of UU and RU.

RU:

Sandslash

Armaldo

Cryogonal

Again if Drizzle + Swift Swim in now viable, Armaldo could potentially come out of NU and be in RU.

NU:

Wartortle

Torkoal

Delibird

Spinda

LC:

Squirtle

Sandshrew

Staryu

Baltoy

Pineco

Tyrogue

Drilbur

Tentacool

Shellder

Kabuto

Anorith

Bergmite

This list includes every Pokémon that can learn Rapid Spin.

Smogon have not released their Generation VI tiers as far as I know, so if anyone disagrees with what tier I have put a certain Pokémon in leave a comment and I can move them to a different tier. Please do not vote this down this took a lot of time and effort to do.

Hope I helped :)

Answer 3

Avalugg and Begmite is the only Pokemon in gen Vl thats have Rapid Spin
![enter image description here][1]

Avalugg@leftovers
Trait Sturdy Brave +Atk -Spe
EVs 252Hp 128 Attack 128 Sdef

Use Recover if sturdy activates. But if its hazard out there use RS first Equake for coverage and Avalanche for Stab
