Yeah, makes sense. I'm not going to claim to know what the Champions OU team plans to do, since I don't have the insider info for that. I suppose it really all depends on how Gamefreak handles the system, since they've made it pretty clear they want it to be only exactly what is functional on...

Personally, I don't think screens (including veil) are worth considering outside of specifically mega froslass until light clay gets added; same with non-incidental/mega initiated weathers. People are getting away with rain without damp rock at the moment, but it honestly still doesn't feel that...

Hey! I think I just faced you on the ladder (or someone that was copying your build). Sorry for the triple flinch if that was you. I love the concept, it's just too bad that Beedrill gets absolutely RUINED by priority.

As someone that's an outsider that keeps trying to get into NatDex (honestly I have a hard time with it because I don't like Z-moves), I was curious about how you're thinking about this. Hasn't Game Freak already confirmed that they're going to have rotation of both legal pokemon and mechanics...

I'm a pretty woefully low ladder player (combination of not being great at Pokemon, inconsistently picking up competitive once every few months, and not having much time to grind the ladder), but I've really been enjoying :floette_eternal:as a scarfer on HO. With Timid, it outspeeds the entire...

Is it? I guess I just wasn't aware. How the hell did that start being claimed, then? Guess the same way that "Golurk got Rage Fist" started >.>

I've run into a few, but then again I suck at this game and am pretty low on ladder. The only times I've lost to it is when my opponent makes an absolutely baffling decision that I didn't read right, and they ended up snowballing massively off of its stupid special attack stat. I'm betting that...

Weirdly, considering that they "buffed" Baton Pass to be at +2 priority (assuming that's not a bug), I'm not even sure it'd be all THAT good for a mon that would prefer a slow switch. EDIT: That only being the case if we were talking about pure drypass, of course.

Bright Powder/Sand Veil/Snow Cloak are particularly head scratchers, since an evasion clause has been implemented and Minimize is banned because of it. I get that the people working on this are volunteers but I'm just kinda surprised that no one did a quick update over the last several days...

To be fair, choice specs, lorb, and expert belt are not in the equation at all right now. In the current meta, I wonder if gren is capable enough of functioning sans an item that having mega gren on a double mega team might work. You're giving up choice scarf or sash (I don't think gren...

As much fun as it has been to run Mega Luc teams, it's ABSOLUTELY busted - I 1 tapped a mega dnite from 80% at +2 with close combat earlier today. Absolutely disgusting pokemon. So far, I'm definitely having fun with the format, despite some of the crazy stuff that's not been tiered yet. The...

I wonder if there's ANY value in considering bug bite as a real move for Scizor considering how many berries are running around in the format right now. It's probably still never worth it over any of its myriad of other options, but definitely an interesting consideration. Personally, I've been...

I just wanted to mention, it doesn't look like the evasion clause is in full effect. I just fought a team on ladder that had snow cloak Glaceon, and I checked team builder after and found that I could put Bright Powder, Snow Cloak, and Sand Veil on mons still. Minimize was picked up as an...

yeah, I'd DEFINITELY need to see some pretty damn convincing calcs to think that vacuum wave is worth running over earth power.

Mind's Eye gives Ursaluna the same effect as scrappy (ignores ghost immunities), so Ghold is not in fact immune to Vacuum Wave out of ursa. Still seems like earth power might be better, but I can see the value in having a priority move to shoot off
