With talk about the potenial rise of terrain in the meta. I wonder how much Indeede can benefit Alakazam as it can potential be absolutely nightmarish with Psychic Terrain out. It will negate Super effective or strong priority attacks it is normally very vulnerable to such as Single Strike...

opps my mistake, but that means Ageislash may fall a bit in this meta. Especailly with more pokemon coming back such as Magnezone and Volcorona that either offenisve or defensive sets cannot really answer too

Aegslash really will enjoy this meat if Single Strike Urshifu comes popular; even with getting a strong new move in Poltergeist. Its ability basically renders its Kings Shield useless and i think even defensive sets will barely be able to survive a banded Wicked Blow

I was thinking about Azumarill and I am wondering possibly if Sap Sipper may actullay have a stronger niche now if the likes of Rillaboom and Tantagrowth become preavlent in the meta. Sap Sipping Azu can possibly get a free Belly Drum setup or an Attack boost at worse to kind of make up for not...

I am thinking that Arcanine is an overlooked Fire mon for Sun Teams. Having a lot of versatility Arcanine @ Leftovers/Heavy Duty Boots Ability: Intimidate Nature: Calm EV's 252 HP , 206 Sp Def, 48 Spd Heat Wave/ Fire Blast Substitute Will-o-Wisp/Toxic Morning Sun Morning Sun may not have many...

Yeah Venusaur is going to be scary AF now in the Sun The only checks I see it having are Rotom-H ,Dragapult and possibly Renculus

Conkeldurr actually is looking pretty dangerous, not just by getting Knock-Off that allows it to harass Dragapult and Ageislash, but also other meta changes in home. Toxic and burns are very common now, and with Guts " inflicting any status condition is just going to make Conkeldurr hit even...

I dunno Many Eeveelutions suffer to losing specific moves. i.eToxic Vaporeon and Umbreon Hidden Power for Jolteon and Espeon. Most of them get outpreformed by other pokemon of thier type. Seismitoad as a Water Abosrbing Dracovish counter that still has access to Toxic. Mandibuzz as a bulky...

With the talk about suspect testing G-Darmanitan and Dracovish. I would like to bring up Dragapult. I know that the Sub-Disable set is considered its most popular set right now. But Choice Item sets pokemon that can consistently revenge kill either of them, but even depends on what choice item...

Rotom-H i feel is a bit overlooked and likely almost as good as its W counterpart now in this gens meta. Any mon that is immune to burns , paralysis and spike hazards is pretty neat. Plus its a a Corviknight counter than Rotom-W too. It can possibly check G-Darm as well since many of them do not...

Sylveon is a good counter to subsitute abusing Dragapult and Hydriegon blasting though with pixelated Hyper Voice But not even sub-ignoring moves/abilites will be a consistent counter vs Moody mons

This is why Gyrados is going to be a big offensive threat even when Dynamax is banned. Getting Power Whip basically fliiped the table as it now so it now counters most bulky water and water/ground types that previously checked it. Seisatoad and Gastrodon now have to live in fear of it. Which is...

Well for the other side against Moody. Its similar to why Swagger was banned in Gen VI. Due to combined with Prankster ability is was basically creating 50/50 chance situations and trying to intentionally abuse the RNG system to win. It was far from the most broken move or strategy yes, but it...

I am surprised Tyranitar ranked relatively low on in the usage list #19 considering his popularity and in past gens as well as many of counters to it and sand teams in general were claimed by Dexit. I guess losing Pursuit actullay does hit him kinda hard in the meta, since he cant trap...

It likely wont be as viable when Dynamax is banned. But I Choice Scarf Dragapult in effective due to being able to revenge kill the most common set-up sweepers and scarf users right now. Scarfed Dragapult can outspeed Scared Gengar and G-Darm and ko them after rocks or previous damage. It can...

Rotom-W comes to mind as a hard Corviknight counter. It still is likely going to be very viable in the OU meta due to its utility options . Plus it also gets Nasty Plot now, which can also be of benefit to toher Rotom forms too

Am I wrong to think Goodra is possibly mad underated right now? I mean it has the potential to deal with many big offesnive and defnesive threats in the meta right now. Goodra @ Assult Vest Ability : Hydration/Gooey Nature : Bold 252 HP EV 248 DEF EV 8 SDEF EV Dragon Pulse Fire Blast...

Also of note is that Scarfed Dragapult can also outspeed Sand Rush Excadrill as long as it has not Rapid Spin boosted Scarfed Dragapult has a niche of revenge killing many sweepers that will be prevalent in the Meta with help of hazards or previous damage. G-Darmantian Gyrados and the...

One trend about M-Venusaur that wont die down is its unfortunate case of major 4MSS. Venusar needs to likely run for its first 3 slots Giga Drain Synthesis Leech Seed/Sleep Powder. But then..If it does nor runt Sludge Bomb in the 4th slot it can wall other Defensive Grass piviots like Bulu...

Agree. A-Muk also has a unique niche to checking every Tapu as well. As well as commom Psychis such as M-Alakazam and Renculus. It a decent check to Ash-Gren if its choice-locked to a dark-move. However it could still be overpowered if It has already transformed
