Vanilluxe: Do Not Ban

While I was initially leaning towards Ban, after playing with and against it at length I find the discourse around Vanilluxe's Pro-Ban arguments so concerning, and the evidence so uncompelling, that I am now fairly certain that I will be voting Do Not Ban. In addition to the fact that players...

Confirming as PUVS HALP

Anyone else noticed the onslaught of Lopunny/Grumpig/Ditto/Haunter/Liepard/Arbok 5 Tricks + Assist Whirlwind teams? Annoying as all hell to deal with for most teams

Energy Ball is included more or less entirely for Golem, simply because after switching into SR a single EQ crit can prevent you from dispatching it. At the time Golem was the premier Normal resist in the tier and as such being able to reliably take it out without fuss took precedence over...

I'm sure Seismitoad is a good slot on a lot of teams and a reliable rock setter, I am just Seismitoad-challenged and have immense difficulties working with it. More power to all of you who get so much out of it. For me it is just a struggle as I find that often Seismitoad neither hits hard...

I've never personally understood the hype surrounding Seismitoad. It may have something to do with me being absolutely unable to use it to any real effect but I've always found that it suffers from possibly the most severe 4mss I've ever seen while also struggling against the one playstyle that...

And again Liepard makes my day miserable. Some guy is just running around with Liepard, Murkrow, Ditto, and fillers and I of course smack myself to death because I smack myself in confusion the vast majority of the time (I counted). Must I seriously run Lickilicky and Bastiodon to deal with...

The idea is not to kill Alomomola and this set is not a wallbreaker. It's a sub attacker that can also function as a pivot because an intact substitute discourages the use of status move and lures weak attacks from walls that can be easily taken advantage of. The standard Waterfall breaks the...

True, just saying that Musharna alone is not a foolproof solution, and warning against the tendency of people to just throw Musharna on a team and expect to be Sawk-proof. That and I've always found people to be somewhat reluctant to run BP on Musharna as they so love the Heal Bell CM booster...

FLCL I like WhiteDMist's idea, but Roselia even with maximum investment and Eviolite is actually a bit on the frail side, and people are unlikely to let their Tspike absorbers go so easily. In addition I found the tier a bit too offensive when I tested it for it to do its job effectively...

I disagree, I find that people far overestimate Musharna's ability to take on Sawk in the face of team support, particularly Skuntank. If Musharna at any time takes a Pursuit on the way out it can no longer switch in on Banded Sawk if rocks are down. That kind of over-reliance on Musharna by...

1. What effect would Munchlax? Would Munchlax completely replace Lickilicky as a Special Wall and Phazer? Or would it be pretty much ineffective like it is in RU? Coincidentally, Munchlax has already dropped on PO NU. It is still largely ineffective due to the prevalence of hazard stacking and...

This seemed like a fun counter, so here we go Piloswine @ Eviolite 252 HP/ 4 Spe/252 Def -Curse -Icicle Spear -Rest -Roar Switching into Piloswine: The opposing Pilo's EQ deals a maximum of 252Atk Piloswine (+Atk) Earthquake vs 252HP/252Def Eviolite Thick Fat Piloswine (+Def): 20% - 24% (84...

Well unfortunately there are only so many Bronzor, Vullaby, and Metang in this tier so some of us have had to resort to less 100% hax proof deals. Be careful about how you use WORST POSSIBLE SCENARIO. Where do you draw the line for that? What if they get every Sdef drop with Focus Blast and...
