The 289 Kyurem should say neutral not positive. Also I would strongly suggest cleaning this up a bit. There are so many irrelevant Benchmarks in there which just water down the chart and make it harder to check for relevant benchmarks. In particular there are a ton of +1 mons with neutral nature...

You are mistaking the role of Gliscor in a battle. The problem Gliscor presents boils down to three things: 1. Few things can actually switch into it. This is the only point you touched on so I'll give my thoughts on your suggested answers regarding this point. a. Gliscor cant touch you either...

Webs just seems very matchup fishy rn. It's by no means bad and Ribombee is very reliable at setting them up making this one of the strongest iterations we've seen in a long while but the main problem as I see it is that Gliscor balance doesnt care one iota about Webs and a lot of offensive...

I believe the point of grassy terrain is mostly to negate chip damage not to boost your grass type attacks. You can run the same sets as always. They are much better in the sense that balance teams are much more common again and Ursaluna can kill something whenever it enters the field. It also...

I've submitted by far the most aggressive voting to this date. I actually enjoy the meta quite a bit rn and as a dedicated balance player I'm thrilled to see it at the top again after a rather difficult year. Still I can see why things would need to change and why others might not enjoy Gliscor...

I really don't understand all the hype about Gliscor. It's very easily beatable by simple, common and totally non specific techs as I could illustrate in numerous battles such as this one for example.

Dnite is also valid although it hates Knock Off and actually loses if Waterpon is full hp and willing to commit tera. Amoongus on the other hand is in my opinion the only reliable Waterpon answer we have and consistently beats all sets. Its unfortunately kind of a shitmon but in all fairness the...

Clefable to set up your Rocks and provide utitlity via a mix of sticky barbs, knock off, trick or encore. A ghost switch in. A moth / fairy switch in (if thats not already covered by your ghost switch in). Pult is pretty common (usually wisp set) as it provides speed control, makes great use of...

Alright we won! No time to rest though. Gotta get that Gliscor suspect up and running next. Very curious how the next survey is gonna look. Personally (after playing a lot of Gliscor balance to get reqs and climb the ladder) I will be voting higher on Glisc and Gholdengo than I did last survey...

I'd like to nominate from B- to B+. The reason for that is that it's doing an extremely important job for balance teams in countering some dangerous threats such as Iron Moth, specs pult, gholdengo, heatran and to an extent Manaphy which are notoriously difficult to reliably answer. This was...

Roaring Moon: Ban

Don‘t worry - I don’t think anyone who isn’t arguing in bad faith or resorting to ad hominem attacks would actually construe your statement that way. You aren’t incorrect in saying that Defog Corvi isn’t in a great spot right now. However the issue as I see it is that 1. Corvi isn’t in a...

I admittedly haven’t read every post in this thread but I think I’ve gotten a solid grasp of the arguments being thrown around and would like to give my 2 cents. I think what the problem with roaring moon boils down to isn’t that it’s impossible to prevent it from sweeping your team after a DD...

It's a good thing there is no upper limit for games cause this was by far the worst reqs run ever. Lost a few games at an inopportune time and had to climb up all the way to 1900 before I hit 80% gxe cause I didnt wanna make a new account but it is done now. Confirmed - :Ninetales-Alola:

Just to clarify on the explanations regarding Clefable since thats already been touched on: Did I get it right that there isnt a specific Clefable set that stands out right now but its rather the mix of the plethora of sets such as magic guard + rocks or unaware set-up that justify its current...
