    Little things you like about Pokémon

    Encountering legendaries in the overworld is something I am very glad they brought back in the Indigo Disk DLC. I (mostly) have been trying to find the legendaries based on the hints Snacksworth gives and it feels very rewarding to find them in some obscure corner of the overworld. Some, like...

    I think people just naturally shifted to DNB over time. The Breaking Swipe DD set required too many turns to setup in order to truly be busted + had noteworthy counterplay like Lando-T, Garganacl, Skeledirge, various Tera Fairy mons like Bulk Up Great Tusk, Alomomola, Gliscor, etc. and suffered...

    Is anyone else surprised by how much Primarina has been popping off? I always though it was a bit unfairly overlooked in Gen 8 since it was always seen as "worse Tapu Fini" even though it had some major selling points like a massive Special Attack and Liquid Voice Echoed Voice which it could use...

    I mean, if nothing else, Booster (and I suppose Tera) are the main reasons I feel Raging Bolt and Roaring Moon could be seen as problematic, as their damage output feels a bit high with the item. That being said, the items drawback of being 1 time use is really annoying in a meta where the walls...

    Speaking of Pincurchin, I've been toying around with that mon a bit and man is it (and E-Terrain as a whole) bad. E-Terrain actually some strong pieces like Specs Iron Jugulis (which is fast and difficult to switch into) + SD Seed Valiant and Iron Leaves. It even has mons that are passable...

    Fair point. For me personally though, I don't think I plan on voting ban on any of the future suspects aside from Waterpon and Raging Bolt, both of which I have tempered my perceptions on and would be open to voting DNB on. Raging Bolt has Kyurem syndrome, where it is a pain to face, but also a...

    Disappointed with the results. What's even more disappointing is that this is yet another case where survey scores seemingly didn't matter. Gouging went from a 4.1 on survey -> under 50% ban vote, while arch only got a 2.6 -> 75% ban. We saw this before with Ursaluna-BM and Urshifu...

    Offensive Core :SV/Iron Crown: + :SV/Landorus-Therian: + :SV/Samurott-Hisui: Popularized by Mimikyu Stardust, this is a fairly popular and flexible core that I've been seeing more on bulky offense teams lately. This core covers a lot of checkboxes when teambuilding, featuring both Spikes and...

    Tera is the main reason. Immunity + Tera is a powerful combination to give mons really unique defensive profiles. Tera Water + Sap Sipper lets you stonewall most Volcarona variants for example, while Tera Fairy + Sap Sipper stuffs Rillaboom and Meowscarada.

    Only mon I think would spike in usage is Corv. This Pokemon is already fantastic even with Ghold in the tier and is able to at least partially stave off many of the more annoying mons such as Zamazenta and Gambit with ID + BP, as well as do well in a number of other MUs such as against stall &...

    Announcement np: SV OU Suspect Process, Round 11 - We Didn't Start the Fire

    GFire can adapt to a number of these options. Zama, ID Garg, and a number of setup mons get destroyed by Dragon Tail for example. Lando-T and Tera Fairy mons are fairly reliable answers, but given that these Pokemon need to handle a bunch of other shit like Gambit, Great Tusk, etc, it becomes a...

    I agree. Despite teambuilding being a bit difficult and constraining, its arguable there is a lot more variety now than there was in earlier metagames. As Vert said before, Lando-T (despite being heavily nerfed) and Gliscor both being viable in the same metagame is a great sign & there are a lot...
