    Metagame SV RU Metagame Discussion (March Shifts | , post #150)

    I'm not sure where the line on quick bans falls, but maybe some of the most notorious threats will actually be harder to get in without Slowking offering so many chances. Maybe Thundy-T and Leaves aren't quite as good now? Still very much on side in favor of :iron leaves: , :zarude: , and...

    Data Usage-Based Tier Update for March 2024

    I mean... it is gamefreak we're talking about here. I agree it's crazy, but perhaps we just need to change the way tiering works? (or at least more tiers? idk) It's not like gamefreak is going to stop. Well, from an RU perspective: Gapdos, Hippo, Kleavor, Cobalion, Thundy-T, Gengar, Zarude...

    Hi, we're matched for the RU Winter Seasonal (r4) I'll try to make most times Saturday (or Sunday) work, but need some advanced warning (out of town and some long periods of driving). I'm -6 and should be able to do things after 4pm your time.

    Metagame SV RU Metagame Discussion (March Shifts | , post #150)

    I wish I had more time to get more games in, but at this point I don't think my opinion will change much. Basically my opinions on the relative "unhealthiness" of pokemon in the tier is: :conkeldurr: > :zarude: >* :enamorus-therian: = :mamoswine: ≥** :basculegion-f: * my personal opinion on...

    That probably works for me. I might need to move it ~30 minutes, but I'll communicate any issues. Sorry I wasn't quite in the swing of things since I've just started being active again. I got my discord linked now so you can also message me there. I understand that's probably the preferred way...

    Ok, I've convinced myself to try this. If you're still taking subs, I'm in as a sub.

    Metagame SV RU Metagame Discussion (March Shifts | , post #150)

    Quick thoughts just because I didn't have as much time as I did before the holidays. I'm a simple guy and I like to mess around with silly sets on the low ladder, but for whatever my opinion is worth... Pretty closely agree with FlamingoPokeman here Ban: :hoopa-unbound: :mew: [Too good, too...

    Metagame SV RU Metagame Discussion (March Shifts | , post #150)

    With a jolly nature probably 120 or 154 evs Slightly out speeds Scarf H-zoroark, Espeon and then slush rush cetitan and SS drednaw respectively. Could go more, but yeah with barra back is probably a fools errand to assume you're beating everything

    Project SV RU: The Next Best Thing (Week 23: Cyclizar) (Votings Open)

    Well, I did actually try to use all of these and get a feel for how "useful/creative" they are. This was all with the same defensive core so obviously not every set got to shine in a way it could have with a full custom team. This team probably favored the choice specs set the most so I'm trying...

    Metagame SV RU Metagame Discussion (DLC Edition | December Shifts)

    Well, if it means anything, this metagame is the first one since 2015 that's inspired me enough to bother being active again (last post prior to this was April 2015) and before you ask... ...yes, I'm old. In general, I was most previously active in BW2 RU and off and on until ORAS. Mostly, I...

    Resource RU Viability Ranking: ORAS Edition

    Yep, I edited my post. I didn't say it very well, but my S vs A+ issue really isn't about how strong Reuni pairs with Dugtrio or how strong it is, but if Runiclus needs Dugtrio to easily beat its checks, can it be considered S? I thought the point of S was that these 'mons didn't need specific...

    Resource RU Viability Ranking: ORAS Edition

    It's really good to be sure, but I feel Reuniclus is still A+ rank. I've been using it quite a bit on a balance team as a win condition (CM). I consider it very similar in power level to Durant and versitility similar to Meloetta , so if S was broadened a bit and included Durant (and maybe...

    Metagame NP: RU Stage 8: Jam (Turn It Up)

    Just getting back after a long hiatus. So these opinions are based on a relatively small (compared to others) sample size and from the lower side of the ladder. I think Emboar is strong, but I think Cobalion, Durant, and Reunic are more dangerous threats. Any team built should be wary of...

    The RU Viability Ranking Thread

    I was the one that suggested Manectric move up to A rank. I used Manectric earlier in the year and, yes, I agree it was slightly better then. However, it is still very good. A rank material in my opinion. The biggest difference in my current Manectric playstyle with it's play in the past is...

    The RU Viability Ranking Thread

    I don't think I can quite agree with you. Rotom-N is an excellent choice in many situations to be sure. That's why it is A rank. Is it really any better than Sigilyph or Drapion or Tangrowth? I wouldn't say so. With the changes to the "definition of D rank" these are my opinions on most of the...

    Hit The Ground Running

    Thanks for the suggestions! I think I'll go with 124 speed on Bouffalant. You're right. I was noticing how it was annoying that Sandslash could outspeed me. I'll probably try the extra speed on Kabutops too. Although I'm slightly worried that I won't have anything to tank CB Entei E Speed and...
