Congratulations to Sunsets. That Tera Grass on Kingambit really costed Tace big-time. If it had been Ghost or Fairy, the match-up might've gone differently.

Some people want Ceruledge gone (my #1 ban target). Others want Light Clay gone to nerf screens/Veil, but I think Ceruledge being gone may already be a big enough nerf to screens/Veil given it's by far the best abuser of those HO archetypes. Dragonite is probably the most popular ban target...

Eh... I wouldn't call it hypocritical. Tera Blast does have a notable effect this generation in amplifying variance and the fishy nature of SV tiers, but it's not so insanely bonkers like Last Respects that close to everyone wants it gone (I personally do) even if the tier would likely improve...

Slowking-Galar absolutely shouldn't rise to A+. With how offensive SV OU is with screens, Ceruledge, Trick Room, and even Tyranitar, Slowking-Galar is a lot more exploitable. Glowking also had very low usage in OUPL, and its usage is low in SPL too, being markedly down compared to the previous...

Crit fishing with Future Sight is not a real strategy given it doesn't have an increased crit chance. You have more of a chance to crit by throwing out 3 attacks over three turns rather than using a Future Sight strategy. You can make a read as you say, but it doesn't make your opponent's play...

This should honestly be listed as a counter. Hatterene never wins, and Gholdengo can easily switch-in repeatedly and win every time since it has Recover.

I did read your entire post, but I cut off the rest of it because I didn't believe it was relevant given you used replays of horrible teams and horrible plays to argue that Solgaleo was broken. If I quote a post, I have read its entire contents and intentionally choose not to quote everything...

The winners of the previous week were :ting_lu: by Avira and :skeledirge: by InvisibleWater. They will be added to the Hall of Fame shortly. This week's victim is a mon that is very irritating to switch into and can be a serious pain if you don't anything that can switch into her. Hatterene has...

With all due respect, none of these replays proved Solgaleo is broken. Every replay aside from one was in the 1000s range with either horrible teams and/or horrible play, and for the one which was in the 1200s, your opponent didn't remember how Future Sight worked and let Weezing-Galar get KOed...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this ladder has very low activity with the #1 on the ladder not even cracking 1400. The best players and best builders are largely not playing this meta at all, so it's not going to be reflective of Solgaleo's full potential. While I consider testing...

I posted this in the SPL thread by mistake. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen9ou-900616 I believe this game showcases both how much resources it takes to deal with Ceruledge and how Ceruledge can often find a free turn against even an offensive team since it can setup on two of...

I believe people requesting for Misty Surge on Mega Meganium haven't actually thought out its niche. With Flower Veil, Mega Meganium will never get poisoned by Toxic Spikes. Misty Surge, while it would help Mega Meganium support its allies, means Mega Meganium would be vulnerable to status...

Here's my counter: Dondozo (F) @ Covert Cloak Ability: Unaware Tera Type: Dark EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Body Press - Crunch - Rest - Sleep Talk Special Defense Dondozo with Covert Cloak counters this Iron Crown set. The reason she is Tera Dark is so you resist Shadow...

I don't think it looks like a past paradox Pokemon. It's just a very based improvement over an already top design in base Staraptor.

Tace is probably going to win this.
