Hey just took your team for a spin, absolutely loved metronome dracovish! Replay Worked like a charm :D

I think Kommo-o, while not being particulary brilliant at anything, has seen a boon with STAB Body Press and Throat Spray this gen that give it a certain unpredictability. The variety it brings to the table is pretty threatening in and of itself. While not being incredible at any in particular...

I think :espeon: should be included in the Magic Bounce section, with Specs in Psychic Terrain it hits like an absolute truck it can be viable, especially with Trick crippling switch ins like Mandibuzz and Corviknight.

I got DOMINATED by this core recently, running a rain team... The Rotom-C set was sub NP and just set up on my ferrothorn. Absolutely Machiavellian core.

Ok so a quick replay (I would say two average players) that highlights all that Dynamax can do: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8ou-1022153054 In a nutshell, breaking choice lock, surviving a hit I shouldn't have, and getting up rain for my victory. I think this comes under the "can't...

The problem is that it isn't a hard counter. Sub BU can beat it, as it stalls out volt-switch pp. If it Dynamaxes as Rotom volt switches and breaks the sub, it gets the speed boosts to stall the rest of the PP.

Yeah, to be honest this is a good thing, in the sense that it adds merit to the keep Dynamax unbanned side. While that's true, in terms of Dynamaxing, Sub BU Corv was one of the most underrated yet devastating 'mons to do so. The sub gave it the chance to get at least +2 speed, thus...

Right. That's massive for the Sub BU Corviknight set then, as it can now easily be burned before it can get the power boosts, or severely damaged. Still a solid set I guess, but not as OP as I'd thought.

Is there any case where the KO's gained by Head Smash are actually worth the recoil taken? For example, Adamant CB picks up the OHKO on Corviknight after rocks with HS, but doesn't with SE, along with a 2HKO on Galarian Corsola.

Hey guys, why aren't people using Head Smash on Drednaw? Is it because of the recoil?

Too stall out moves that can hit Corviknight: see replay

Is this not flawed though? Mons have been banned in the past thanks to their varied array of sets and the difficulty of the opponent being able to prepare for it. From what I've seen, a lot of top battlers make a plan based on team preview; battling a Greninja (a zard too but to a lesser...

Why when ranking Greninja and Greninja-ash do we not take into account the basic threat of not knowing which is which at team preview? I understand ranking them separately, but we have to consider when ranking them that one could be the other. I've seen numerous people saying Ash form is too...

I don't know, seed flare's secondary effect makes it tough to deal with, and it does have advantages that victini doesn't, namely better coverage in the form of earth power, giving a neutral hit on toxapex so no berry shenanigans (and still being able to OHKO with a modest nature in grassy...

It does KO with LO, a set that's definitely viable with Bulu support reducing the recoil - nothing likes switching into an LO boosted gyro ball, and LO stone edge still 2hko's sp def toxapex.

Thanks Snowy, I'll definitely try it out - the Ferro weakness is real, and Zapdos would definitely help with that. I'm just wondering why you suggest Pressure instead of static as an ability, as this change would definitely make the team err on the slow side, and paralysis support would help a...

Hey Jam, belated happy birthday, really love your vids man, love the way you can bring underrated 'mons to the fore in well-crafted teams. I wanted leave you a fun squad to play with, I think it'll be right up your street - OTR Staka, Araquanid, and Def Z-Fly lando. It's got me reasonably...

Hey Joey, love your vids man, KUGTW! If you wanna take a break from Mamo TTT with a fun team, I'd love for you to try out my OTR Staka + Araquinid squad, with some unique sets, it's a joy to play, and I bet you'd be able to get the best out of it! https://pokepast.es/833f66c6c379572d...

Introduction Hey all, it's been a long time since I've posted in RMT, but I've finally built a relatively unique and creative OU team with a reasonable peak, meaning that competent players will be able to use it much better than me! I've loved Stakataka ever since it came out, with its...
