forfeit sounds like a pretty appealing option, ngl Yeah I'll probably go Tera Fire Great Tusk in that case, that way it's at least not an autoloss; as long as Great Tusk is able to chip it to KO range for Hisuian Zoroark with 1 CM, I can live with that

I have been looking at Great Tusk quite a bit; it would improve the Kingambit matchup a lot seeing as it would take pressure off of Torkoal to handle it. The only concern I have with dropping Kingambit is about the Hatterene matchup, though Clear Smog on Torkoal should help there (as long as...

I personally try to avoid Tera Blast unless I really need it, especially when I have other Pokemon that are generally more appealing targets for Terastallization. I generally find that if I don't Tera the Pokemon, having Tera Blast on the moveset is effectively the same as only having three...

:zoroark-hisui: Hisuian Sun :walking-wake: Hello, all. It's been a hot minute (years, in fact) since I touched OU, and with Hisuian Zoroark now being available, I figured now was as good a time as any to end my OU retirement (at least until HZ becomes legal in VGC; we'll see how long that...

The key word here is "assumption" Regardless of what anyone thinks the correct procedure was for the safety car, there's been a general agreement among all teams that the race director should always aim to have races end under green flag conditions (before you bring up Belgium, the reason it...

You can complain about the handling of the safety car all you want, because that was handled poorly. That said, Mercedes could have used this opportunity to put Hamilton on fresh tires and chose not to; meanwhile, Red Bull made the correct call bringing in Verstappen for fresh soft tires. As a...

Made it to 146 wins; pasting this here for team updates: (M) @ , Relaxed, Frisk | **Crowe** EVs: 252/0/148/0/108/0 | IVs: 31/31/31/xx/31/0 Trick Room | Night Shade | Brick Break | Gravity (F) @ , Bashful, Own Tempo | **Lucky** Level 1 Stats: 12/5/6/5/6/6 Endeavor | Spiky Shield | Spore* |...

I've been able to get to Rank 10 in Master Doubles using this: (M) @ , Relaxed, Pressure | **Crowe** EVs: 252/0/148/0/108/0 | IVs: 31/31/31/xx/31/0 Trick Room | Night Shade | Brick Break | Gravity (F) @ , Bashful, Own Tempo | **Lucky** Level 1 Stats: 12/5/6/5/6/6 Endeavor | Spiky Shield |...

Battle Subway took away our FEAR strats, but we no longer had anything to FEAR, for Truant Durant was on its way ... Okay, on a serious note, FEAR strats are nowhere near as braindead as they used to be; no Foresight hurts the strategy a lot, the AI doesn't target the level 1 bait as reliably...

On the topic of Doubles, I was able to unlock Master Class in one attempt using this: @ , Relaxed, Pressure EVs: 252/0/148/0/108/0 | IVs: 31/31/31/xx/31/0 Trick Room | Shadow Punch | Brick Break | Pain Split @ , Bashful, Own Tempo Level 1 Stats: 12/5/6/5/6/6 Endeavor | Protect | Destiny Bond...

I wouldn't call any team "foolproof", but Gliscor in Singles should still do alright without Toxic and Blissey should work in Chansey's place. You may have to do a lot more PP stalling, so probably look into something like Suicune as a third. As for Doubles, I'm using level 1 Smeargle with...

Only 5.5% of the global population is fully vaccinated (which is mainly concentrated in rich countries) and things are still really bad in several countries (especially India), so globally? It's absolutely not over. You could maybe make this argument for the US, but, for example, in Oklahoma the...

I agree with the general message of your post, but how is "third party" being defined here? I ask because if you interpret this as it's written, then this is just patently false; Jo Jorgensen was a third party candidate running in this election, was on the ballot in all 50 states + DC, and...

There will always be people willing to pay for sex and there will always be people willing to sell. I think viewing sex work as something inherently non-consensual is at best reductive and at worst sexist. Here in the US, with prostitution criminalized, we see it pushed underground, creating...

Someone get me a cigarette, I feel like now's a good time to start smoking On a serious note, it's clear to me that Joe Biden is mainly going to benefit from Trump's disastrous response to COVID-19 with Trump not taking it seriously and Trump fighting efforts to expand vote by mail (PSA...
