    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Gouging Fire remains in OU]

    Nidoking had his niche for his better speed and Gen 1 movepool, but in a world with Great Tusk I can't see him coming back as a common offensive mon. 85 was crept mad hard this gen. Nidoqueen didn't hit any major speed points with Timid so she typically ran Modest which actually outpowered +Spe...

    What a disingenuous take. Even if you smoked every exclusively gen 9 Pokemon and brought back all the old ones with their gen 8 movepools, you're still dealing with mons that weren't in gen 8 and every Pokemon in the game has a changed movepool on top of move changes like the healing nerfs...

    AAA Almost Any Ability - Zamazenta unbanned! Survey results at post #1301!

    I'mma nitpick what is otherwise an excellent post, but STABmon's move banlist has more moves conditionally banned (*: Legal on native users) than it does outright bans, and there's no restriction list, just extra information on the ban list that is then left to users to further explore...

    Metagame Frantic Fusions (New resources @ Post #387)

    Ooh, I'd been using Sandy Cheeks as my Surge Surfer, Rising Voltage backed up by Dragon STAB is probably way scarier, if I wanted to be a freak (I might) I could even run weather to get Weather Ball and possibly Solar Beam.

    Item boosts tend to overwrite move boosts. Putting Assurance in the item slot then clicking Triple Axel results in a 100 BP 20-40-40 attack, with Assurance removing the second boost. EDIT: You'd have to check with the coders, I didn't know that Fury Cutter was restricted and I'm unaware of how...

    I thought Poison Puppeteer failed to activate on non-Pecharunt, is it a viable Ability to donate?

    If physically overpowering threats start popping up then tiering policy (for standard metas and OMs) says that we ban those as well, not keep centralizing presences in the tier. Props to teambuilders the first few days this month, I've been watching a lot of games looking for ideas and there...

    It's hard to take "Regen spam is weak, you have to diversify with Unaware/Fluffy/insert non-Regen otherwise you lose to all the breakers" seriously when most of the successful teams being posted have at least two Regen mons. TaxFraud's big team dump a few days ago had two Regens on every single...

    Arbitrary balancing changes like this would move into pet mod territory.

    As the above replay shows, it also effectively breaks Forte Clause, with three different self-KO moves.

    Announcement np: SV OU Suspect Process, Round 9 - Let It Go

    Minor nitpick since I'm sure Kyurem doesn't run it anymore, but it does learn Outrage. It used to use it to pressure Blissey, but then it got Icicle Spear and Dragon Dance. finch edit: Yea, mb. Just never seen it use it this gen (or half the other things he listed :psycry: ), TY!

    Yawn is banned up SMC, but the rest of that set looks good.

    Project OM Mashup Megathread

    Toxic Debris got 2 ban votes and 2 abstentions and you have the result as a ban on the table, but say it's unbanned and I don't see it in the code (unless it's included in the AAA clauses). EDIT: I think I understand that, so if I'm reading the votes correctly (2 to ban, none to DNB)...

    Fear is for the weak, this is the only way I can feel alive anymore. Also you wouldn't even need Megahorn, just click Scarf Sharpness Sacred Sword, it hits harder without missing. I feel like Hamurott is actually keeping a lot of problem mons in check right now just from Sharpness-boosted...

    Just tried tinkering in the builder and Mighty Cleave is what's setting off the illegality. Something's not right. EDIT: IB with any Rock-type move is coming back as illegal.
