Been experimenting with rain teams lately, been having a lot of fun using a certain mon: Toxicroak @ Leftovers Ability: Dry Skin Tera Type: Fairy/Dark EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature - Drain Punch - Gunk Shot - Sucker Punch/Knock Off - Bulk Up Used to use this bad...

Personally I've been having fun with the tier at the moment, the introduction of a lot of new tools in the metagame makes for a pretty refreshing experience in my opinion. I think someone earlier in the thread asked what under-the-radar mons have people been trying out, and while I've been...

On the subject of trapping, I want to talk about this mon: While I believe Dugtrio to be broken due to a combination of factors (Arena Trap and the atk and spd to abuse Arena Trap), I really do not think that Diglett is broken, and that it should eventually be retested. Unlike Dugtrio, Diglett...

Feeling pretty mixed on banning King's Rock, honestly. I agree that the item is uncompetitive in nature, but the issue is that I find it a bit inconsistent to ban King's Rock while keeping moves that can cause flinch, such as Rock Slide and Iron Head, still in the game. Just to go over some...

Playing through the suspect, I do not have much of an opinion on whether or not Zamazenta should be unbanned in OU. There have been a slew of great arguments from both the pro-ban and pro-unban sides, and I think either outcome would be fairly reasonable. Personally, I don't really consider...

With the most recent bans of Magearna and Cinderace, it would be fair to say that Ice types in OU have become noticeably better. Without Magearna and Cinderace in the tier to pivot in and threaten Ice types out, Ice mons are actually in a pretty good position in the tier. In the most recent tier...

Don't really have an opinion on whether or not Spectrier should be banned. There is clear counterplay against the mon, as it's generally pretty easy to bring in a pivot and safely bring in another mon that can threaten out Spectrier. However, the amount of mons able to pivot in on Spectrier are...

Not really sold on Sash Kartana. What exactly is it supposed to do compared to SD, Band, and Scarf Kartana? The loss in power is pretty noticeable VS SD and Band, and Scarf Kartana's still better at revenge killing thanks to the higher spd, allowing it to outspeed mons like Spectrier. You say...

Been experimenting with rain teams recently. Rain's a strong archetype, and I just want to bring up two of the more niche rain mons in the meta. Seismitoad @ Life Orb Ability: Swift Swim EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest/Mild Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Weather Ball - Earth Power - Focus Blast -...

Main reason for Inner Focus is used over Stamina is just because of the way better match up against Togekiss and Jirachi. Stamina on paper looks good, but in practice, it usually doesn't really do much. Whatever mon the opponent switches in on Mudsdale will likely beat Mudsdale even with +1 def...

Hey, just wanted to share my thoughts on a mon I think is currently being slept on. Mudsdale @ Assault Vest Ability: Inner Focus EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Earthquake - Heavy Slam - Close Combat - Rock Slide Assault Vest Mudsdale is a pretty underrated set atm...

I saw Avalugg in the OU tier list at C- rank, checked out its analysis and thought it was pretty cool. Are there ant notable replays of Avalugg putting in work in an OU match?
