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.
If you've seen my previous posts then you know my stance, but I want to make a post about it anyways, if I can get reqs then I'm voting Ban.
I'm going to make an analogy to fighting games: Let's talk about neutral, advantage, and disadvantage states real quick. As the name implies, neutral...
Alright, fair enough, I will admit that throwing that last part in was wrong of me and I'll be removing it because it's purely wrong information. However, I still think there's some merit to what I said, being forced to "waste" the Dynamax on defense puts you in a big disadvantage compared to...
So let me get this straight: Are you suggesting banning a bunch of things that would be perfectly fine in an environment without Dynamax, simply because they're broken when Dynamax is unbanned? That is backwards, it makes no sense. What's the point of keeping the mechanic in if it's the source...
It's impossible to see the future, but we can look to the past for some similar examples to help us predict it. When Swift Swim was banned in Gen 5, did that make rain unviable? Did it patch up the fact that it was the de facto best weather in the meta? Most people that played Gen 5 stand by the...
Thanks for the suggestion! I've had some issues dealing with Zapdos before yeah, but I think the value of defensive Lando-T with Flynium-Z offers more to the team than an offensive Rockium-Z set (Slow U-turn, getting rid of Grass-types for Greninja). I'd go for a defensive set with Rockium-Z but...
Yo why is this game's music so good
Hey everyone, I'm back with another RMT, 1 year and 5 months after my previous one (Seems like I can only make good teams after a long break...). This time, I'm taking a stab at balance, an archetype I rarely delve into. I tried a lot of variants of Lopunny...
Hello again, everyone! I've made one final update to the team.
- Added Zapdos over Tapu Lele. (Thanks to WCI for the suggestion!)
Zapdos helps with the KokoLucha matchup, and allows us to once again run HP Ice on Landorus-T over Toxic. While Tapu Lele was occasionally useful and formed a good...
Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I'll be trying this out, but do you have the metronome Mamoswine set you've suggested? I've never seen that. Also, wouldn't Sash Lead fit better?
Hey everyone! I've updated the team and sets used!
- Added Toxic over HP Ice on Landorus-T (Thanks to stuuful12 for the suggestion!)
I am currently testing Zapdos over Tapu Lele, and will add that change in if it works out. (Thanks to WCI on Showdown for the suggestion!)
Hey, thanks for the reply, compliment, and suggestion! I will for sure be trying out Toxic on Lando-T. That's something I never even considered, but sounds great.
Let's Hope This Works: The OU Team (Peaked at 1400 because I'm bad and lazy)
Introduction
Hey everyone, it's been a while! Last time I wrote a RMT, it kind of flew under the radar (not to mention that the team sucked, but was at least slightly interesting), so I decided to give it another...
