Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I'm sure there is a welcome to our sad irl reality there XD. No you are right, I do get having 5 problematic individuals that prevent each other being problematic, but at the same time are problematic for everything else yet remove one and everything falls apart like a bunch of Jenga blocks. Tis...
Well technically that would mean that together they are not actually broke if they kept everything in a healthy state of equilibrium, but whether that is the case or not is not something I would suggested i am qualified to say.
On gouging Fire I don't personally think it's broken but it exists...
Oh please there is less salt in the dead sea than contained in this post. Even if it were true, they made the concerted effort to get the requirements to keep prehistoric enti in the tier, which they were literally qualified to do so over the countless others that didn't get the requirements but...
How effective is latias in a cm/recover + bolt beam terra electric set in the current meta and whats a good ev spread for her? could go for some bulk to make up for only passable physical defence or just standard 252/252 speed and special attack + 4 def?
As suggested above by heatranator Overquil offers up a unique answer to these problems rain teams can face in absence of archaludon having to various support moves like spikes, swift swim ect. it certainly has a solid niech now that it didn't really justify it as much before the ban.
when one door closes another opens, i'd be interested to hear peoples thoughts on the rankings of other rain sweepers like kingdra now the competition has reduced.
Yes this ^. Booster energy has the big handicap of being a one and done item, so you will have to be pretty damn sure your paradox mon coming in is going to make good use of the boost before it is forced to switch out or just going for game.
I would most certainly be in favour of a roaring moon...
I have found the terra dragon set to work best with sub seed. It's always going to need something else to take care of hard counters like heatran anyways, and not being forced to terra is always nice, while that extra slot to fire seeds at would be counters coming in is always nice.
EDITED: to...
Hmmm not sure some peoples big gripe about the new suspect. Why wait when the meta isn't changing, and the old suspect test hinted to a potential next candidate. If something needs tested, and it's found to be broken better to start that process as practically sooner rather than later. I'm...
So with smeargle effectively loosing spore how does he stack up as a sticky web user? I assume it's not a big loss given the countless other options and priorities the lead set has Vs other leads. Still smeargle Vs ribombee sticky web user thoughts?
Hypnosis darkrai isn't even it's most commonly run set. While it may be the subject of debate that's more because of the luck related nature of it head you win tails you loose. 3 attacks nasty plot prove great coverage and power as a fast special cleaner and is run more often over it's hypnosis...
This 100% I guarantee at this point that no hypnosis darkrai would never even come up for ban nomination, while hypnosis is just cheese, sink or swim darkrai is too frail to often afford the 40% miss and the 60% is cripple and chip giving it set up chance but it again is very luck dependant...
