    Pokémon Empoleon

    There's a lot of variability with Empoleon this generation, thanks to the myriad of moveset buffs. It'll have a lot of 4MSS involved with both offensive and defensive sets, but it's much more variable and able than in past generations. Keep in mind this is just theorizing rather than in-play...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    It's notsomuch the discussion that bugs me. I think everyone should be allowed to discuss the results and the like of this suspect...in a productive way. There's a difference between processing something and reflecting on the changes at hand compared to the more egregious stuff that has shown...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    I want to chime in on this situation, moreso on the behaviors of everyone than the suspect results themselves. While I did not have the time, interest, or means to get the reqs needed to make any sort of difference, this result was certainly a unique one. However, this overly eccentric...

    Resource SV OU Viability Ranking Thread [ UPDATE: POST #751 ]

    If I were to guess... Unaware + Will-O-Wisp+ Bulk lets it be a colossal pain versus physically offensive 'mons and set-up 'mons in general, and while its typing isn't the best defensively, that bulk plus the aforementioned elements above is the real deal, allowing it to take big hits and...

    "Worst Pokémon Ever"

    There's always something to smile on when a thread you make on the first years of college still runs strong nearly a decade later. Guess I have some reading to do and see the then and now~

    Question: does the Humungo and Tiny effects also effect Pokemon hatching from Eggs?

    No worries, I know what you meant. I just tend to be more extreme when making statements, haha. The qualities it has will for sure be a boon wherever it goes.

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    Yeah, general consensus is that cat > croc. Me and my stubborn low-tier character mindset is still determined to use croc and make it work, lol. Must be a curse always gravitating to stuff like this. Anywho, I have a question about Glimmora's Toxic Debris ability: does it scatter Toxic...

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    What tier it goes in aside, I find that Skeledirge's best quality is that it is the only Pokemon with Unaware + Will-O-Wisp. It has enough physical defenses where it has enough bulk to tank quite a bit of physical punishment. The more I thought about it, the typing is honestly a design-choice...

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    Not going to lie, this made me laugh. Plus the fact that hazards exist considering it will likely run Wide/LO/Choice will mean it has a glaring hole to residual damage. Won't stop the damage potential or the potential of this 'mon, though. But yeah, Garchomp might be more inclined to be bulky...

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    The more I look at Tandemous, the more I see an absolute juggernaut of a Pokemon that will destroy everything it has its mitts on. Population Bomb + Technician is absolutely insane, and leads into some stupid stuff, such as (note: +2 is used to emulate 10 hits, since +2 2 hits roughly equals 4...

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    Speaking of data, anything in the data that suggests the variables for how big or small a Pokemon can be? Or is that still up in the air?

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    That's going to be a biggie. Now the question is *which* Pokemon can be found in these Raids. Will also likely be an avenue for Pokemon that don't have access to HAs, too. Question: do the starters have Raids?

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    I remember someone mentioning there was a modifying number when it comes to size and height. I hate to ask even after so much work, but slp32 or RoiDadadou, is there anything in the leaks when it comes to these weight and height modifiers? I know it is a minor detail, but anything to know how...

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    I'm actually interested in the height and weight categories, since I've heard that there is size variation in this game. I want to see if this is actually true, and how big or small 'mons can be per species.
