League	Tier	Rank	Score	Recommended moves	Typical build
Great League	A	#46 / 1146	89.4	Sand Attack · Weather Ball Rock · Earth Power Hippowdon is now a World champion Pokemon. It's comparable to Kanto Marowak with a 1-turn Fast Attack and better pacing to its Rock-type coverage. The Shadow version has just enough bulk to survive Energy Ball from Shadow Kanto Ninetales, but the non-Shadow is a bit more comfortable in this matchup.	L18 · 4/15/13
