    Format Discussion Hackmons & Challenge Cups

    Thanks for the clarification! It's a shame since I think it makes the format a little less playable, but fair enough given hackmons history. On the bright side, it's nice to have the other natdex Pokémon back.

    Format Discussion Hackmons & Challenge Cups

    I've noticed Hackmons Cup Gen 9 got an update today (or at least within the last few days) adding Gigantamax mons? I might be a little behind, and if this is a redundant question, my apologies, but what went on behind the scenes that led to the decision to add them being taken?

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v2 [Update on Post #5186]

    Okay, seriously, what is vote manipulation to you, here? I think those users made a bad decision for the health of the meta but it's verified that they made reqs and they're allowed to vote however they like because of it.

    I've not played a ton of OU over the last month, but I'm curious - what do you all think is behind the high Iron Moth usage? It's good, don't get me wrong, but I'm a bit surprised to see it's top ten in usage even in a fairly favourable meta for it. Is it being used as a breaker on sun teams? Is...

    I'm mid-ladder, but I've seen probably 10-12 teams out of 70-ish use it. Lots of Leppa Pawmot and a couple of Leppa Trick Room Rabsca too. I can't comment on anything other style since I've very much been building one archetype of teams, but it does make stall a loss on preview against some...

    Scarf Cyclizar feels alright, but is predictable as soon as the opponent knows it's scarfed, and drains so much momentum if it doesn't come off, at least in my experience. I know a lot of people do only use it for shed tail, but losing the utility of being able to Knock Off or Rapid Spin before...

    You can simply not bring Cyclizar in on the things that stop it from using Shed Tail.

    Depends on your team and what you need, but I'd typically focus on one over the other. For example, if you really struggle with Iron Treads and need Ting-Lu as your counter you'd want to focus on defense, or if you can't switch into Gholdengo, you probably want to pump up the SpDef.

    It really can't, this gen (at least in my experience as a mid-ladder player). You need a couple unaware mons (Clod and one of Skeledirge/Dondozo) to not lose instantly to a shed tail team with stall, at least one (if not two) other Mons specifically to cover their gaping weaknesses (a Sire and...

    I've been doing something similar with Umbreon trying to make stall work, except I put Yawn on it for phasing and full SpDef because I've paired it with Twave Forretress and Dozo. Specs Chi-Yu is the only way I can keep the pressure on with stall right now, it wins basically any game as soon as...
