I think this problem happens if u try to build teams a little too cheesy I haven't tried making any balance or stall teams but for ho or bo, I am no giga brain with team building but this is what I do know:Finchinator I really have to say, I have 0 belief the meta won’t stop rapidly adapting with all the threats left here. Sure Gouging Fire shouldn’t have been banned, but there’s such intense threat saturation that a team that does well one week is bad a few days later.
Quite often I’ll find that a 1800s 10 days ago struggles in mid ladder now. Besides an Archaludon situation, I have trouble seeing anything else getting banned especially because top players love Raging Bolt and Waterpon. This gen has been defined by offense/HO with so many tools, it’s super difficult to keep up with in the builder and with no bans on the horizon (or suspects likely to pass for that matter) I don’t see any evidence of it slowing down.

While I do see that core a lot (except when I prepare specifically for it, then it's non-existent), dragapult + volcarona is one I have seen a lot of, both Pokemon separately and together. So much so, I've been running rock slide on tusk more often to destroy volc + flying types.in your guys opinion, whats the most overused mon(and by extension duo/core) right now? i personally think it's glowking and then kyurem by extension i feel like rarely see a non-HO team run kyurem with no glowking(and then they usually slap on a skarm or corv as their physical wall)
No, what we do is unban all the mons we banned from OU for the day to show the casual scrubs what the metagame would look like if we didn't ban things.I hope April fools is a few of d tier ubers being allowed for a day, it would be funny to see something like Reshiram, Zama-C and Lugia in OU all at once causing chaos during the April fools metagame for OU. I remember something similar happening in SS which was fun and had a fun turn of events with a Zama-C suspect following because it was less broken than people thought. (Wouldn't mind if Zama-C was suspected again in SS OU, Mon wasn't even that broken in gen 8 and honestly disagree with the fact people found it broken even if it encouraged wish and future sight strats, and is way weaker than it's gen 9 counterpart for context.)
Point being, am April Fools event like that would be super fun.
And what if you like not having Kingambit run over all your offensive teams?If you like playing HO, Zama needs to go! Say it with me now- if you like HO, Zama needs to go!!
Go play another tier, I guess!And what if you like not having Kingambit run over all your offensive teams?
this post was 100% bait so he could get zama countersAnd what if you like not having Kingambit run over all your offensive teams?
Trust me, it was not bait. He complains about everything in the tier, from tera, to gliscor, to Garg, to Zama, to ghold. Except for roaring moon for some reason.this post was 100% bait so he could get zama counters

I’m pretty sure Zamazenta-C can learn all the moves Zamazenta can, with Iron Head just being replaced with Behemoth Bash.First can people stop with unbanning bad ubers? Seriously? It has nothing to do with metagame as is, and we've got better things to be focusing on. Even as a joke. Also no, ZamaC was a very annoying pokemon when it was tested and encouraged heavy rocky helm and fat spam because it destroyed offense way too hard. It's "weaker" as it lacks body press but has a greater instant power with unnerfed dauntless shield and attack. Let's just not.
inshallah he shall be dropped to ruBarraskweda in the corner be like:

But tusk is also on many teams same with landot how many counters u needAnd what if you like not having Kingambit run over all your offensive teams?
Many, we need many. Especially offensive teams, which can run tusk and valiant, but zama is better against gambit even if it tera's since it can id up alongside the sd boosts. So yeah, it's probably the best gambit counter in the game rn. Tera'ing gambit otherwise is extremely difficult for offensive teams to beat, with tusk taking massive damage from it.But tusk is also on many teams same with landot how many counters u need
I mean, that shows how broken gambit is if you have to run multiple checks to it. Also, while valiant 4x resists sucker punch, it also is weak to iron head, so if the gambit user can not use their tera until then, then they can tera out of their type and take the hit then precede to ko your valiant and sweep the rest of your team.I got the joke.... and valiant 4x resist sucker its super common on teams too its not even worth preserving gambit to last if ur opp has valiant and/or tusk in 1 team better to just use it to wallbreak. I've been spamming gambit since I started playing gen9 ou maybe it's just me being bad but I didn't think it was that amazing if enemy has multiple checks to it that u need to get rid of for gambit to sweep. & no1 runs adamant on tera dark gambit on offensive teams ...
I mean you also have counters like Zamazenta, or Bulk Up Great Tusk which hard counter any and all Gambit sets. You also straight up cannot sweep if they keep an Ogerpon in the back and you're 5 fainted, or any Encore mon in general (which includes Val).I mean, that shows how broken gambit is if you have to run multiple checks to it. Also, while valiant 4x resists sucker punch, it also is weak to iron head, so if the gambit user can not use their tera until then, then they can tera out of their type and take the hit then precede to ko your valiant and sweep the rest of your team.
+2 252+ Atk Black Glasses Supreme Overlord 5 allies fainted Tera Dark Kingambit Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Iron Valiant: 169-199 (58.4 - 68.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Quad resisting it, while great, doesn't mean it is scot free either, if it dips below 50%, then thats gg. I think if they have multiple checks to gambit, then sure, it is more difficult, but by getting hazards up and chipping everything to 50% or below, and you have set up a gambit sweep.
Zama is unique in the fact that not only can it boost alongside gambit, but it also is good against it even if it tera's out of its weaknesses, it can hit both flying and fairy types for great damage with bp.
