  1. Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    I'd like to post some thoughts I've had on the debate over whether or not terastallizing should be banned. I think there are elements that feed into some people's reticence towards the idea to the point where the fairness of the mechanic may not be the only factor in whether they want it...

    Here is an example of such a ban: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-80347983. I think that the combination of the specific moveset clause and making infinite stall a bannable offense should resolve the issue, while not disallowing legitimate uses of recycle+leppa.

  6. Trevenant

    Trevenant does not get Natural Gift as an egg move (bred with Gloom).

  7. Move Freeze Dry

    I've been testing the proc rate for freeze with my Aurorus, and 400 uses of Freeze Dry resulted in 36 freezes. Assuming I remember how statistics work, this corresponds to a (9.0 +/- 1.6) % chance to freeze; in other words, the freeze chance for the move is between 5.93% and 12.07% within 95%...
