    Pet Mod Legends Z-A OU

    I'm really confused by this. It's not like they are giving the Z-A megas (new) abilities for no reason or to make tem meta viable...It's because they just don't have any and I don't know about you but I don't think anyone wants to do like...inner focus mega lucario z

    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Indigo Disk]

    Well, how about you dial back the aggression and actually read I actually fucking said? I understand how tiering works, and I never ONCE stated that something should be unbanned to save some type. Secondly, I quite literally stated the time period where in which this was done before. I'm not...

    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Indigo Disk]

    I do wanna add, this was done before. I vividly recall we allowed Solgaleo just to see, and even back then I advocated that this was a good thing to see. I just disagreed it as the wrong time because if I recall correctly they did right when DLC dropped so the tier was very tumultuous. These...

    Announcement SV Monotype Suspect #11: Dirty Dancer (Gouging Fire Suspect Test)

    I keep seeing this argument by several people and this is quite frankly disingenuous. As someone who, much like you soma, plays pretty much one type for my own reasons (Ice in my regard) I can say with confidence these two situations are not the same. (Mega) Scizor warped the Steel/Bug vs Ice MU...

    Announcement SV Monotype Suspect #11: Dirty Dancer (Gouging Fire Suspect Test)

    I have to ask because I legitimately cannot tell. Are you being serious? Or are you just memeing? Anyway, to speak about this suspect test, I'm glad it's finally happening. Before this mon was even put into the game, I wanted it gone. It sounded broken on paper, and in practice it wasn't as...

    Announcement SV Monotype Suspect #10: Who Let The Dogs Out (Zamazenta Suspect Test)

    Thank you for the clarification, also I would like to add that I mentioned the disregard of lower types not out of "They should be considered in these discussions more" standpoint but merely saying that I saw semblances of the arguments used for the disregard of lower types being applied to some...

    Announcement SV Monotype Suspect #10: Who Let The Dogs Out (Zamazenta Suspect Test)

    I wanted to come and give my opinion regarding this suspect test. Even though I have many gripes with Gen 9 metagame and will not get reqs for this suspect test for variety of reasons, I wanted to give my thoughts regarding some of the arguments presented in this thread. I'm quite puzzled by...

    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Indigo Disk]

    Maybe this is copium, but I don't think Ice will lose that much usage, considering we do have weavile back at full power. Some MU's won't be as easy sure, but nothing too major imo. Ice will still be a good type; it just won't have its broken toys that the "Better types" will still retain access...

    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Indigo Disk]

    This may not matter to some people, but its worth pointing out that yesterday, the Mono room ran "The People's Mono" room tour where the specific things were banned (in addition to mono's current banlist): Baxcalibur, Ogerpon (Fire and Water), Flutter Mane, Chien, Gouging Fire, Archuladon...

    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Indigo Disk]

    I have to ask, because this is kinda important. Will Monotype be following the ridiculousness OU is doing by banning sleep entirely? I know Monotype doesn't exactly follow OU, but I felt like this was important to ask because the ban indirectly hit every other tier below OU as a result. That and...

    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Indigo Disk]

    Perhaps my opinion will not matter at all, but when has that ever stopped me from posting them? I certainly agree with most of Azicks statement (though if you banned every mon listed I feel like flutter/zama/gambit, the last two in particular, would need to go immediately), but honestly...I...

    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Teal Mask]

    I honestly fail to see how this conversation is at all complicated because lets say you do ban A-tales. Guess what? You just run Abomasnow to achieve similar results with Bax. Ban Icy Rock? Use Light Clay (or vice versa). Baxcalibur will still be a problem. Ban A-tales, abomasnow, icy rock and...

    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Teal Mask]

    Personally I think the only tiering action that should happen is Baxcalibur and Urshifu-S. In particular in regards to ice; Banning Icy Rock, Light Clay, or Alolan Ninetales will not solve the main problem people were largely complaining about in regards to ice: Baxcalibur. Baxcalibur can still...

    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Teal Mask]

    To be fair, I did say in the post right after that I'm unsure and even leaning towards Bax. To answer this post though, whilst there hasnt been action precedent for Icy Rock, there has been for Weather Rocks in general before. That was my line of reasoning. The closest comparison would be smooth...
