Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
- I can contest to this. After my 6-0 debut in OUFL, I decided to play Big Stall leading to me being corrupted with no return, I re-watched JJK and lost my reading comprehension, but the JackRG and Sire Clod beef in the sub-thread has revived my will to continue playing SV OU. I dropped the...
:sv/dondozo:
Big Don Bozo is such an easy pick. Though there are other candidates like Iron Crown and Iron (mid) Moth, Dondozo feels more MU fishy and less consistent in said matchups.
Even in SV OU, matchup consistency is sought after. Having multiple common matchups where you are deadweight...
Part of me wishes Tera Blast was suspected at the very least. Kingambit and Dnite are fucking obnoxious with Tera Blast, especially Tblast Fairy Gambit who just fucks with every relevant Poison/Steel type in the tier anyways so checking it defensively is a non-option. Banning them would be...
:sv/ogerpon_wellspring: :sv/zamazenta: :sv/iron_valiant:
OU cores is back. Yay! Anyways, I believe this is one of the strongest BO cores in the meta just off of these three mons overlapping with their checks and how customizable each member of the core is. They specialize in punishing Balance...
Hey thx for posting, I have some notes to help you improve.
:tyranitar:
Tyranitar never wants to be slower than Jolly Gambit or Moltres, so it’s better to go max atk max speed Adamant to creep those important benchmarks. Tyranitar prefers Stone Edge over Rock Slide. The loss in power is a...
Before I post my survey response, I recently uploaded a video on how to respond to Ogerpon-Wellspring that goes beyond the surface level counterplay. I also think this video would help players give better arguments to why Wellspring should or shouldn’t be banned rather than the back n’ forth...
For the ppl wanting to suspect Light Clay, consider the alternative of suspecting Deo. Light Clay was never a talking point for bans up until ppl realized Deoxys was a way better screens setter with its unmatched speed and endless utility options that Alolatales couldn’t even dream of.
With...
Dealing with these threats isn’t the end of the world. What makes Sand flexible compared to Sun and Rain is you don’t need to follow a strict formula. It could just be a basic Balance structure but with Exca + Ttar.
:hydrapple:
Hydrapple covers most of these MUs and they get worn down...

Dropping some VR opinions before SPL starts. You know the drill, rises and then drops.

:sv/pecharunt: A+ > S-
After a whole year since Pecharunt has been OU, it has molded the very format around it. The single best physically defensive mon in the tier, basically inverse Ting-Lu but with...
