So I haven't really touched CAP since last gen so quick question How did Malaconda become good? What changed?

Ok as someone who only occasionally checks in on the CAP meta (or ladder metas in general), how did Malaconda suddenly become good? Did it get a buff?

As far as I can tell, Cheek Pouch should activate on type resist berries. If this is *not* a bug, I apologize. I'm including the relevant paste to show that I am indeed Cheek Pouch. The opponent was a Tyrantrum with Rock Head, and I don't see how those would effect anything...

Oops, sorry. And thanks!

So some friends and I were looking into CAP for the first time in a while, and one of them said that "Necturna had been nerfed and couldn't use Sketch anymore". As far as I had known, it wasn't able to Sketch 8th gen moves due to Sketch not existing in SwSh, but old-gen moves were still fair...

So I don't check in on meta trends super often and I'm not a high level player by any means (don't play in tours, been stable around 1300 on the ladder for the last month or so) but I just noticed that Tomohawk was unranked in VRs? What happened there? (Also why is the low-ladder nearly...

https://pokepast.es/d599575941cc6aba I give this team a 7.8/10 for because there's a bit too much water here. Is it a good BDSP OU team? Absolutely not. But it is fun? Hell yes.

So I've started playing this tier a few days ago, using Lucarionite Tapu Lele, Altarianite Entei, and Sp. Def Arceus Water, plus an Aggronite Celebi set I made up with (probably not the first and there are probably much better options), Blue Orb Swellow (for accurate Hurricanes, it's not as...

So today I accidentally stalled out an Arena Trap Dugtrio on Battle Tree with a Choice Specs Xurkitree locked into Thunderbolt It's moveset was Fissure, Substitute, Sandstorm, and a fourth move it never used for some reason (apparently it was Toxic) It missed Fissure five times, set up a...

So I made a goofy team as a first attempt at Battle Tree Doubles, expecting to lose a few times around battle 20, but the third try took me to the 40s so I kept trying. I made it to 50 (which was my goal) on like my 5th attempt, but then lost at 52 wins. Oh well. The team: Nintales-A @ Light...

I finally managed to finish a 50-win streak. Once I eventually lose I'm going to start trying to build a Doubles Tree team to also make it to 50 wins. My winning team was: Hydreigon @ Dragonium Z Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA / 4 HP / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Draco Meteor - Dark Pulse...

That's probably true, but I wanted to give Z Splash a try and Gyara seemed like the best option for it.
