Chi-Yu with Specs feels like a super op Tapu Lele from Gen 8 - also I heard it had more stats before the Patch, which is even more stupid.

When was this patch, day one? And yeah, the fish would probably be gone by now. Blissey OHKOs might not have been a dream, but a living nightmare.View attachment 477314
I honestly wish they hadn’t nerfed Chi-Yu and Chien-Pao because I guarantee they’d already be gone by now if they were the tiniest bit stronger. Also, Ting-Lu with even more HP sounds oppressive as hell.
Isn’t it someone else’s council slot?Okay but it’s kind of a letdown to hype up this bo3 and then immediately have the results disregarded because Finch bet his own council slot on a rematch
No, Finch doubled down. He’s staking his own Council seat on a rematch.Isn’t it someone else’s council slot?

It was hp and spatk that had changesTing-Lu also had 5 of its Defense traded for SpAtk iirc.

Can you elaborate on this?And before someone asks, Cyclizar is the clear subject, not Shed Tail, which is a far cry from this level on the Worm and impossible to isolate otherwise. Fragmenting single Pokemon like this for the sake of preservation would lead to so many other bad things otherwise.
Nemo had enoughSo I decided to mess around with Choice Specs Chi-Yu (Timid) and I Tera Type into Fire Type and Overheat into anything switching in and I did 91% damage to what I'm guessing is a standard Clodsire set. Clodsire is supposed to be a special defensive wall...what happened?
How is that fair? Like I feel bad for using it on my team.

Shed Tail isn’t broken stand-alone just because a single Pokemon is broken with it. The characteristics of being fast and having Regenerator enable that. The only other Pokémon with it is slower and has a good defensive presence, but clearly isn’t problematic. In a similar ilk: Rage Fist may help break Annihilape, but clearly Primeape is not close to broken. We would ban the Pokemon in this instance unless multiple Pokemon are broken directly because of the move.Can you elaborate on this?
I tried Clodsire as the Stealth Rocker (on my Choice Band Ting-Lu balance team - Ting-Lu needs to surprise OHKO offensive mons and therefore can't really be the SR setter in this team), and Corviknight absolutely laughed at the standard Hazards/Recover/Earthquake/Toxic set. Combine that with Air Balloon Gholdengo being too common and Air Balloon non-lead Glimmora being completely underrated (and me clowning standard Clodsires with that set) and Clodsire left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Garganacl, Gastrodon, and even Dunsparce and Dudunsparce didn't give me as bad impressions as the SR user there (Blissey was too easily exploited when I tried her), although Garganacl stacks weaknesses nastily with Ting-Lu. Guess I could try 2 Attacks Clodsire, but that second attack can't seem to pose a threat to Corviknight at all.so this is more than just a one-liner: how have people been finding clodsire right now, I seem to be finding an incline of people using it on ladder, and I'm curious to see what people think set it apart from the other spikers?
you hearing this finchyabsolutely insane stuff, sad I missed the games but 1300+ people is no joke....
Mudkip my man deserves an honorary vote on council whatever the result idc man dude's won everyone's hearts
YeahIf MudkipNerd wins the Christmas Eve match does he still get the council seat?
Is it, though? If Finch loses and decides to go through with this, he can absolutely act as an advisor for Mudkip. A sort of Prime Minister or Grand Vizier of the OU Council, as it were. What I’m saying is, we can absolutely structure things so that we can have funny Pyukumuku man leading the tier but also keep things relatively under control.which is uh disastrous to Smogon policy
