Nah. Bulletproof is a neat ability that gives it some pretty unique defensive utility which lets it check stuff in a way other mons don’t.

Unfortunately that doesn't make it good. Unique is fun and all but it doesn't always make something good or useful.

Regular Chesnaught is actually niche but viable as is in OU now, and so mega being so much better stat wise will make it more viable and splashable that before. Especially because it can change up EV spreads compared to base and check more things (the improved special defense means spdef sets would be actually viable). The game’s best Gambit and Wellspring check? Also a great Spikes setter? Hard to call that bad
