    Metagame [SPOILERS] ULTRA SM - Speculation & Discussion

    Ok so obvious stuff is defog everywhere cool cool cool. What I like about that is it makes it so much easier to fit on a team. No longer will we have to use the mostly-garbage fini in order to not have our whole team constantly worn down. Lots of the mons that got it are gonna be super...

    I'm on mobile so apologies for being unable to respond with a post that has cool pictures and colors lol I suppose I should have clarified where I meant Mew had fallen, allow me to do that now. I was thinking more in terms of A) Viability, where it went from A to A- and B) In tournament play...

    Absolutely agree with mega medicham to A-. In fact I would not be surprised if it were nominated to be A. Here's the metagame shifts that I think justify this raise. The Decline of Mew. About a month or two ago when PhysDef mew was on so many teams, it was seriously difficult to use mega...

    Ok people I just got back into Sun/Moon, here are some observations I've had lmk if you guys find yourself agreeing or if what I'm saying is totally wack -Ash Gren is better than protean, both as a hazard setter and offensively. That Z-hydro set is fun but I still like specs best. -Breakers...

    Oh no I didn't mean you can like switch it in easily, I more meant it can come in on a lot - like after a volt switch or a u turn or a sac or something like that, it comes in on a lot, not like directly switches in. Poor phrasing on my part I suppose my bad guys

    While I agree with almost all of these, the one I really wanna talk about and elaborate on is the status of lopunny in the current meta. (I obviously don't wanna speak for Gary but from that little blurb it seems like he and I think similarly to one another about lopunny rn more or less) In all...

    A- ---->A I totally agree with this! I think that clef sorta got tossed to the side in the beginning of Sun/Moon because we got so many good fairies, along with one dropping down from ubers. People sorta slept on it because some of the stuff that really dominated the meta either straight up...

    I'm a huge fan of OTR magearna! Although I find that it isn't a lot like shift gear. They are played very very differently for a number of reasons. The Z move options are a lot more diverse. With the shift gear set, you very often see bolt beam + all out pummeling but I find that on the trick...

    I think it's a little bit of both. Rain has really improved a lot this gen from the last one, considering we finally got a rain setter that isn't completely dead weight. Pelipper was really the biggest blessing rain could've asked for, and stuff like tapu koko being able to spam incredibly...

    Something I've been playing around with a little bit has been bronzong, and I think it's pretty interesting. I figured it would be unimpressive unless you were running a really obscure bulky trick room or something, so I didn't pay it much attention until I realized how much of the really...

    Hey quick question - I've heard some rumors about us getting our hands on some previously unavailable mega stones this Friday? Is that true? And if so - which mega stones will be made available? I'd hope that it'd be every single one, but I don't really know any of the details of the mega stones...

    Hey so I only came to competitive around mid ORAS, and never saw lando-I. Now that it's back again - what are the best sets for it? LO sheer force usually runs what, earth power sludge wave focus blast hp ice? Rock polish? Thanks so much

    ORAS OU Mega Alakazam is bae

    Hey man! Cool mega zam set, I really like it. Zammer is usually pretty predictable so it's cool you've been able to catch some people by surprise, especially running HP fire to lure scizor, considering a lot of the rest of your team really doesn't like dealing with it. One thing I have for you...
