Honestly after rethinking and playing a bit more I definitely believe that I have been undervaluing Sludge Bomb. Something that is kind of niche but worth noting re the SpA investment I posted beforehand actually gives you a slightly stronger 1vs1 matchup vs the more common 252/160/96+ spread...

Yeah Weezing-Galar is incredible under Grassy Terrain. I've taken towards running Protect on it because it's actually the only mon that can do that against Urshifu-SS and it allows you to survive the 2HKO from the rarer banded Iron Head with Black Sludge recovery, but the side effect of that is...

Rising Voltage doubles in power when the opposing pokemon is affected by Electric Terrain. In the first case, Voltage was Super Effective, so it had an effective power of 140; but the opposing pokemon was Flying-Type, so it wasn't under the effect of Electric Terrain. In the second case, the...

I was looking around earlier for other potential defensive checks for the most common Urshifu sets (Band & BU) and honestly the pickings are slim. Dark/Fighting coverage is unprecedented on a mon as solid as this and what's more if you add Iron Head/Poison Jab into the mix you are left with...

This is heat but what are the rest of the Tox EVs fam there's 108 missing?

I'm the dude you were talking to on Jams vid earlier, this is an old ass account I only just started using again because I'm posting a little more on Smog since SwSh came out.

Humbly requesting a name change to fvfrythfng, I believe I meet the requirements set in OP given the account is over 7 years old and I have fewer than 10 posts; recently come back to mons for SwSh and have started making the occasional post instead of just lurking from time to time. I already...

I might be blind but I don't believe this has an explanation for the 20 Speed EVs, only thing off the top of my head in that tier is Hippowdon? Which I don't believe you 2HKO under any circumstance being able to outspeed. Apologies if I'm being slow. May be impertinent of me but I'd perhaps...

Concur with this, it's arguable that there should be a higher percentage of niche picks listed in a Gen 8 RC for the obvious reason of a smaller pool of available mons and something like Coalossal whilst not neccessarily a viable mon does provide decent compression despite being outclassed by...

Working under the assumption that Gorilla Tactics operates exactly the same as Choiced Items this thing has an effective attack stat of 936 with a Choice Band assuming boosts are applied sequentially, which is genuinely terrifying, given that Earthquake + Icicle Crash are borderline perfect...

Libero is the Italian name for Sweeper (which is an underutilized dedicated position in the modern game of Football, Centre Backs are expected to sort of be able to play this role anyway in some teams) but essentially is a ball playing defender who spearheads counterattacks and floats across the...

This is a nice list, but the flavour for some of these doesn't make sense to me, why would alomomola get seismic toss? I just want heal bell bronzong, for god's sakes, it is an actual bell. I'd be very confused if recover suddenly became more widely distributed, esp. among legendaries, but...

Am i the only one hoping for a Poison/Dragon Arbok evolution? Since y'know this is 6th gen and everyones anticipating evolutions I feel like it fits with Arboks design, movepool and egg group(dragon) Poison/Dragon is a pretty decent defensive typing in competitive pokemon, with resistances to...
