    That set literally gets walled by Melmetal lol. You're going to be using Spear and Bolt but no coverage for Melmetal leaves you hard walled and whatever you switch in is taking Double Iron Bash.
  2. Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion Thread v7 (Usage Stats in post #3539)

    Think the tier will calm down a bit now with the 3 biggest threats gone. Kyu-B and Zygarde are definitely strong as hell, but at least their checks/counters are more easily defined than "lol I will 2HKO the entire metagame".
  3. Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion Thread v7 (Usage Stats in post #3539)

    I don't mean we should keep objectively degenerate stuff like Landorus "insert 2HKO option" - I. I am saying if literally every good offensive option (like Kyu-B, Blaziken etc.) get banned, the same thing that always happens, will happen. The top of the ladder will be littered with...

    If everything gets banned that is currently talked about, the tier will be boring again.
  5. Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion Thread v7 (Usage Stats in post #3539)

    On the team I spoke about above, one of my wincons was subDD Kyu-B. I was having trouble with Melmetal overall. It laughs off even boosted hits and sub means nothing to Double Iron Bash. I think, once the meta calms down (only one I can see being banned right now is Lando-I), we are going to see...
  6. Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion Thread v7 (Usage Stats in post #3539)

    So, I saw this core and decided to use it myself but changed Magic Guard to Unaware. This handles pretty much everything I played last night. Had no troubles with Kyu-B or anything in between. Zygarde was kind of annoying, but Clef stopped any set ups because of Unaware and forced it out with...
  7. Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion Thread v7 (Usage Stats in post #3539)

    Honestly, I haven't had many problems with Kyu-B whatsoever. Can see why people complain but I have had wayyyyy more problems with Zygarde and especially Lando-I. Sets not running Earth Power (Roost is rather common) get hard walled by Melmetal. Lando-I on the other hand has so many sets, that...
  8. SS OU Sand with Spectrier (1700)

    Scarf is probably better for this team plus Timid instead of Modest for Spectrier. More speed control and it becomes a late game cleaner if it gets a kill. Hits like a truck.

    That is Smogon's modus operandi lol. You kind of have to learn how to get used to it.
  10. Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion Thread v7 (Usage Stats in post #3539)

    Don't agree with Naganadel but I can live with it. Now just get rid of Lando-I and I think the tier is fine. Kyu-B is definitely very strong but I believe he is manageable. Same with Blaziken.
  11. Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion Thread v7 (Usage Stats in post #3539)

    I will have to look at the Calcs, but pretty sure even at +2 it does not KO and then Fini just uses Scald.

    Did not even realize until two days ago that there was a wave of unbans to couple with the DLC. Had a few days now to play around and here are my thoughts. Generally, when the tier is like this, it is way more fun. Outside of running into Lando-I, even stall can function very well in this type...
  13. Resource National Dex Metagame Discussion v2

    Any chance MegaZam gets a test in the future? I was kind of curious if it was going to be meta defining with NP but it got quickbanned so fast lol
  14. Metagame National Dex Metagame Discussion

    My mistake. Had a brain fart. That does make him more threatening, I just don't see him as suspect worthy/meta defining in the same way I said the others that I listed. I can understand how someone can have a different opinion though.
  15. Metagame National Dex Metagame Discussion

    And you would have to be either really bad or inexperienced to not realize that if a Gene is coming in and getting a special attack boost, it's NOT a U-turn spam choice scarf set. Genesect is good, don't get me wrong. But he's nowhere near as good as Mega Meta, Mega Blastoise, Zygarde and the...
  16. Metagame National Dex Metagame Discussion

    Genesect is completely fine. Dugtrio is the problem. Same principle for any Poke that is good at abusing U-turn. Same reason why Volt-Turn teams will always be good. Being able to generate momentum by switching with a move and then going in to a Pokemon that will trap and auto-eliminate because...
  17. Metagame National Dex Metagame Discussion

    It's way too early to start another suspect or petition. Blastoise much like Metagross are going to be the premier threats it seems, but let's give it a bit of time before professing anything.
  18. Metagame National Dex Metagame Discussion

    When this tier burns because of this, I blame you. (Yes that was supposed to be a pun)
  19. Metagame National Dex Metagame Discussion

    Really like the look of the tier now that Dynamaxing is gone. There's the established threats, but I can see a decent amount of diversity in team building now that it isn't just spamming HO for Dynamaxing.
  20. Project National Dex OU Team Bazaar

    I can attest to this team's ease of use and downright disgusting potential. Guy on showdown gave me a near copy of this but Kartana instead of Hawlucha and Corv instead of Mew. You're literally just getting out there, making sure screens get up, then bring in a bulky sweeper and pick your...
