         "description": "<h1>Set Description</h1> <p>Thunder Wave allows Jolteon to cripple its defensive checks such as Alakazam, Chansey, and Exeggutor that commonly come in on its Thunderbolt. It is also good to use against Tauros, as it is no longer a threat once it's paralyzed. Thunderbolt takes care of Water-types like Starmie and Slowbro and can do a lot of damage to Pokemon that don't resist it if Jolteon lands a critical hit. Double Kick scares out Chansey because it is 2HKOed on a critical hit. Double Kick also allows Jolteon to have a way to get damage on Ground-types like Rhydon and Golem as a last resort, though Jolteon should switch out if it predicts them to switch in to help keep damage off of itself and its teammates. Rest allows Jolteon to get HP back and cure itself of paralysis, which is useful against Pokemon like Chansey, Starmie, and Zapdos; however, outside of these Pokemon, Jolteon will find it hard to use Rest, as the move is more useful late-game, and putting Jolteon to sleep allows Tauros to come in safety. Pin Missile gives Jolteon a way to deal with Grass-types such as Exeggutor, as it will deal major damage if it lands a critical hit on them. If Jolteon is being used as a lead, the best move to start the game is Thunder Wave in order to slow down opposing leads like Jynx, Exeggutor, and Alakazam; however, Jolteon must be careful, as this can lead to it being put to sleep with Lovely Kiss or Sleep Powder or paralyzed from Thunder Wave or Stun Spore. Because of its poor bulk, the best way to have Jolteon come in safely is against Pokemon like Chansey, on a predicted switch, or when a Pokemon faints. Jolteon should be saved to use late-game because of its Speed, as it can pick off most weakened Pokemon with Thunderbolt. Jolteon will need Pokemon like Exeggutor and Starmie on the team because it struggles against common Ground-types like Rhydon and Golem. Pokemon that can also help with Snorlax and Tauros like Cloyster and Exeggutor are needed.</p>"

   "Flareon": {
     "overview": "<p>Flareon in RBY OU faces heavy competition from the bulkier and faster Moltres as a Fire-type mixed attacker. Its notably higher Attack stat paired with Body Slam pressures Chansey and Starmie more heavily than Moltres can, but it is crippled more by paralysis and fares notably worse against physical attackers like Snorlax and Tauros. Flareon is reliant on good prediction and some luck to be effective, making it a risky option not recommended for most RBY OU teams.</p>",

     "overview": "<p>Ninetales looks decent at first glance with its good Special and average Speed stat, but it nevertheless struggles to make an impact on the RBY UU metagame. Its Speed lets it tie with Tentacruel and to hopefully trap it with Fire Spin, as well as take care of Grass-types such as Venusaur and Tangela. Its fast Fire Spin also lets it pivot well as the move ends, which Pokemon like Persian and Dugtrio love and is useful to switch out against threats like Vaporeon and Dragonite. However, Ninetales is outclassed by other Fire-types, such as Moltres and Rapidash, since it lacks Agility to outpace even other Agility users such as Dragonite and Articuno. Ninetales also lacks coverage options and has a mediocre Attack stat, which makes Body Slam only good for fishing for paralysis. It further has trouble against the Water-type Pokemon that control the tier, such as Vaporeon and Omastar, since they easily switch into Fire-type attacks from it.</p>",

It is also useful to try to get a burn, which cripples Wrap users like Tentacruel and Dragonite that try to switch in on Ninetales and physical attackers like Persian and Dodrio. Fire Spin lets Ninetales trap most Pokemon thanks to its high Speed stat and gives it a chance against Dragonite and Tentacruel. Fire Spin also lets Ninetales serve as a pivot. Body Slam is used to spread paralysis, which is especially helpful against Kadabra. Confuse Ray is an option to annoy Wrap users like Tentacruel and Dragonite.</p>"}},

         "description": "<p>Rapidash should use Fire Spin to wear down the opposing team, as it outpaces a good portion of the metagame and ties with Kadabra, and finishing worn-down Pokemon off with Fire Blast and Hyper Beam. Fire Blast 2HKOes Articuno and Dodrio, OHKOes Pinsir, and fishes for a burn against Wrap users; a burn cripples Dragonite and forces Tentacruel to use Rest early. Rapidash should be wary about using Fire Spin against Dugtrio due to its shaky accuracy, but Rapidash can take care of Dugtrio with Hyper Beam after wearing it down to 60%. Body Slam paralyzes switch-ins like Vaporeon and Tentacruel, and reduces risk when using Fire Spin against Dugtrio. Hyper Beam is for finishing off a Pokemon after it gets worn down by Fire Spin and does more damage than Fire Blast to Pokemon like Persian, Raichu, and Kadaba.</p> <p>Stomp is an alternative that goes well on paralysis spam teams with partners like Hypno and Dragonite using Thunder Wave, as it makes Rapidash able to go for paraflinch.</p>"

   "Magneton": {
     "overview": "<p>Magneton fills a specific role as a strong special attacker that lures Ground-type Pokemon. It boasts the most powerful Thunderbolt in the tier, notably threatening to 2HKO defensive staples like Vaporeon and Tentacruel. Ground-types such as Dugtrio and Golem regularly come in to attempt punishing it for its poor coverage, which can be exploited by aggressively switching in Ground-type checks like Articuno, Tangela, and Dragonite. Given its low Speed, Magneton is also one of the better ways to punish paralyzed Pokemon.</p> <p>However, Magneton faces a myriad of issues that cause it to be forgone on most teams. Its terribly slow Speed leaves it hard to switch in and susceptible to Wrappers such as Tentacruel, Dragonite, and Pinsir. Its coverage is atrocious, leaving it struggling versus Ground- and Grass-types like Dugtrio, Tangela, Venusaur, and the occasional Golem. While it can act as bait that creates opportunities for Pokemon like Tangela and Articuno, relying constantly on prediction leads to Magneton being inconsistent. Magneton also dislikes paralysis, as it loses its ability to outspeed slower and paralyzed foes. It competes with Electabuzz, which outclasses it in all areas but raw damage, and with Raichu and Electrode, both faster Pokemon with more distinguishing features like Surf or Explosion.</p>",
