    Metagame SS Monotype Metagame Discussion [Crown Tundra]

    I find it so weird to see people here like "I don't have a specific mon that can beat Zapdos + Zeraora" like, yeah you probably should not have a single wall that breaks two wallbreakers. That's what the point of offensive pressure is and why it is good and an advantage state. Monotype has never...

    Ishtaria and Jets. I also really liked Harpp's team, but I prefer the more offensive and momentum-based builds teams like Ishtaria's focus on. I might write in more detail at some later point about which teams I like over others. Right now a few big things glare out at me (like I'm not sure what...

    Thanks for explaining stuff more. Looking back on it, grass knot seems like a pretty good idea as Gastro and Seismitoad can be giant pains. I still like knock off a lot, but having it already is probably good enough like you said. Overall, I do like your build quite a lot and I would just change...

    Practice is subjective and paper is much more grounded. If I beat 2 really bad dragon teams with Jets's team and then lose to 2 really good dragon teams with another, what does that tell me about either team?

    Ladder ORAS Monotype Discussion

    A lot of this is true tbh. But I'd still like to point out a few other things. "As for cobalion, don't forget that the second very viable variant of m-alt is cotton guard." The thing is here, is that twave + iron head is a bitch. (Pardon my french) If you're running cotton guard, that leaves...

    I like most of this post. There's a few things I don't like, and I'll get to them. "Do not ban genesect, he is S rank but nowhere near broken imo." Ok, that's not cool. I don't know if you've played dragon. Like ever but serious. Genesect can literally come in on almost ANY dragon after...

    It's a check if you aren't at a good hp, like 50% or so, because then gets the bop from ice shard. Sash bisharp is also a good check (obviously doesn't work if they have rocks up, but I don't think you have to worry about it much on dragon because they have one rock setter which is often a...

    Pssst. AM Lissa and Kevin are also RO, so yeah.

    We have talked about it before, but the issue is still the same with or without it. Mega charizard is just one threat that flying has at its disposal. They could just as easily throw in mega gyarados or mega altaria and do the same thing, which is destroying certain types and being bulky and...

    np: ORAS OU Suspect Process, Round 3 - Ghosts [Giratina-O remains in Ubers - check the OP]

    "With Giratina-O, your team will likely still have ISSUES with common threats like Landorus-I, Charizard Y, Serperior, etc. but it's lack of reliable recovery as well as mediocre speed still makes it able to become whittled down fairly easily and thus you can't just put Giratina-O to check every...

    Yeah it checks those things, but the problem is that it checks those things along with the entire metagame. I legit don't see how you guys think this is a good idea. It's supposed to be very difficult to stop the meta with 6 mons. That's the point of team building. If we had a team that could...

    lol? You are seriously saying that this will help powercreep by introducing something that brings more power and makes it less balanced. Do you know what powercreep is? It's when they slowly and steadily introduce stronger things in a tier or banlist or whatever. This is legit what introducing...

    ?_? These points are valid if we're talking about OU where you aren't restricted in what you are running and can run a pokemon that does the job for every problem pokemon.

    Mega Metagross doesn't need to set up to kill any of the types that it utterly obliterates, as Zer0 said in his post. It has a STAB priority move and almost every move gets a free boost from tough claws, along with the fact that it gets pretty much, if not better coverage than mega gallade...

    . Because it has GODLY defenses, walls any physical attacker pretty much, has access to slack off or resttalk to heal anything and has calm mind to boost the sp def so that it can tank every special hit ever and can't be critted. Also, a base 130 sp atk scald is nothing to scoff at. No reason...

    Ok so, I never said that you said articuno was a counter. I just wanted to acknowledge that it isn't the be-all end-all to greninja. I don't really understand why people don't run rock slide more considering how much work it does against flying but w/e. Same with the EVs. I'd personally run 40...

    Well you see it is hypocritical, and you are right in saying that. But what are you going to do about it? No one has any clue. The reason kyu-w getting banned is a better idea than banning everything that beats a type is that kyu-w is already an uber. It has superior stats and can carry the...

    Um. Standard greninja is like 40 atk and 212+ sp atk with Hydro Pump/Dark Pulse, Ice beam, gunk shot, coverage for whatever mono you want to kill. That being said, articuno is a check. You can't switch into it on greninja if rocks are up against you, as ice beam + gunk shot will kill you after...

    Grass isn't one of those types that has counters to everything... it's just something you have to accept. Mega pinsir doesn't just auto-win against grass, it requires some actual playing. Since rocks are pretty easy to get up with grass, it's fairly likely that they will have to take 25% just to...
