confirming

wellspring is the lynchpin of why you see huge consolidation around ting lu bo where most of the other mons, apart from blanket physical check like moltres, ghold, and pech, are all mons faster than 350 (or have priority) and can switch into wellspring once like zama, pult, bolt, dnite, gambit...

thinking we should ban kyurem

Been playing a lot more recently and DD Kyurem is nearly as ridiculous as Gouging Fire was. +1 5 hit Icicle Spear has damage that's on par with +1 Protosynthesis Roaring Moon Knock Off and +2 Tera Normal Gliscor Facade. For most "counters", you don't even need Tera Blast and just a defensive...

don't really feel like writing something long but i strongly disagree with lily's sentiment that the addition of defog corv and weezing wouldn't be massive differences in terms of alleviating the stress of hazards on the metagame, or that they, especially corviknight with ID, are incredibly...

Ice beam clef has been a staple for multiple generations. Ghold definitely suppresses clef in general as it can't really hinder it with any of it's utility moves and the opportunity cost of constantly letting in a hard hitting setup mon freely is extremely high.
