:sv/tyranitar: :sv/excadrill: Ttar and Sand as a whole has been finding some usage in OLT. For Ttar it is independent from Drill as a bulky wallbreaker that could check special threats such as Kyurem, most notably on this team made by xavgb. Excadrill isn’t great imo. Terrible vs Balances as its...

:sv/mew: Mew rose because it was a dollar store Deoxys that trades speed for bulk and access to Wisp, allowing it to cripple incoming Gambit/Samu/Treads switch-ins. This also gives Mew opportunities to get multiple layers up. Clam is short for Clear Amulet

Couple things. 1 - viivian, airfare, and Srn will be stepping down from the VR council. It was an honor having them on the team o7. 2 - With WCOP over, we in the VR council are discussing another slate in the near future. Hopefully you’ll be looking forward to it.

No clue how banning Tera Blast creates a fatter meta. The ZapKingLu meta was in DLC1 and ofc, Tera Blast was a part of the tier. SV OU has numerous Balance breakers ranging from the consistent Waterpon, Kyurem, and SD Gliscor, to more niche picks like Hoopa. I’m still mixed about Tera Blast...

WCOP is over, OLT has begun. Its a good time to share my opinions on the meta. Notable Noms. Rise Noms :sv/ogerpon_wellspring: A+ > S- It continues to prove to be more than a one-note wallbreaker. Branching into utility sets with Spikes and Synthesis to keep itself healthier in the slower...

The meta has shown to be incredibly diverse, moreso than any past SV OU metas. It can be evident from WCOP showcasing a variety of different styles like Balance, BO, Offense, HO, Webs, Veil, Stall, Sun, Rain, Sand, etc, contrary to the notion of SV OU being just HO. I would argue that SV OU...

what happened to my boy cobalion?

I believe a tblast suspect should still be taken into consideration, even though my feelings for the tier are more positive these days. But Tera Blast Fairy Gambit is definetely nothing new. In fact it’s a set that has been around since 2023. On the topic of Tera Blast, how do people feel...

I saw that Azumarill is in the C ranks. Is there a specific reason why?

Thank you for your patience. :heart: https://pokepast.es/1ad73d21202018ac The goal with this team was to overwhelm the tier’s common special walls using the combination of LO NP Torn and Moth. With a team of 3 SR weak mons, I needed more hazard control than just Hatt. Treads is a perfect...

As the meta develops, players have been leaning towards builds where they can preserve Tera more easily. Most Tera Blast abusers are on offense where you can get away with burning Tera in faster games and pick n’ choose which Pokemon to use and what order. Balance and BO generally wants to Tera...

Chomp is a solid mon, but due to its two roles being accompanied by the best mons in the tier. You have to really find a reason to use Chomp over Ting-Lu as a spiker or Dnite as a sweeper, or Lando as a breaker. Tankchomp is an easier variant to justify due to the inherent value of punishing...

Short WCOP R1 Recap Already off to a crazy start. First, lets discuss some trends 2 UU mons, Ninetales, and the BL Knight himself Ceruledge have been putting in work this tour. Torn rocked the classic Knock U-Turn AV/Boots set, but we’ve also seen the debut of NP LO. After Hydrapple copied...
