Every sweeper is stopped by something so i don't think your comparison works. Especially since Zama has coverage/ways to deal with all 4 of the mons you mentioned. LO sets with Heavy Slam, Stone Edge and tera dark can break all 4 for example. I don't know what people here are looking for when...

I'll be a bit of a contrarian here. I don't think needing to tera in order to perform your role i.e spinblocking is something praiseworthy, never mind S rank worthy. I honestly don't get the hype around it. It's shaky at best against Wpon and Dragonite as both of them can 2hko after a dd/sd...

From my experience the biggest issue with Mandi is the strain she puts on the rest of the team due to her typing. Most offensive mons in this meta are at least part fighting, dark or dragon. That alone makes it really easy to stack up on fairy/ice weaks on your team purely from your offensive...

Glad to see i am not the only one feeling that way. I am running mixed def Moltres on one of my teams because, in theory, it should be an excellent choice covering a lot of bases but in practise it hardly ever works out and other mons have to come in and help. It's supposed to check Darkrai but...

I actually prefer it over Pecharunt if i am looking for a spin blocker. Pecharunt gets 2hkoed by offensive Tusks headlong rush and a spin blocker that gets trampled over by the tiers most prevelant spin blocker isn't very appealing in my eyes. Guess you can use a balloon to buy time but that...

I believe most of peoples complaints on this gen are actually rooted in the tera mechanic. Dragonite, Kinggambit, Terablast and in part even Ogerpon likely wouldn't be on this survey if not for the fact that they can turn their matchups upside down using tera. Dnite/Gambit getting fairy coverage...

I considered using this set a few times but the problem with using levitate is that at this point you are better off just using Corviknight instead. Can wall pretty much everything levitate Weezing can wall but has access to reliable recovery rather than Painsplit. It's superior in just about...

If there is anything remotely broken about clefable its twave. Clef probably wouldn't even be S rank without the power of yellow magic, i mean that move alone invalidates like 90% of clefs natural counters and the only things immune to it aka ground and electrics happen to be set up bait for...

Even with max sdef mew, cele and slowking can't switch into timid hypervoice after rocks without getting 2hkoed, wouldn't call that "comfortably". Not to mention that Garde can easily run modest if you don't care about speed ties. Useless was maybe a little overblown but the typical stall team...

Someone mind telling me how "Diancie is the objectively best fairy in the tier"? (i assume you mean offensive fairys since its certainly not better than the master of yellow magic himself right?) I've read the this notion ever now and then through out the last year and i never really...

After watching those replays i somewhat understand why most tour players find Hoopa ban worthy and where the current hype around it is coming from in general. If those games are somewhat representative of the current meta game in the tour scene then its honestly no suprise that hoopa is out of...

Nobody used Sdef unaware Clefable before Manaphy became a thing because there was no reason to do so. Just like nobody used Scarf Ttar until now because there was no reason to do so. Both cases show stall adapting to a new threat it needs to prepare for. The way i see it your whole argument is...

Stall also needs to run Sdef Clefable otherwise it's 6-0ed by TG RD Manaphy, and in this case its really a 6-0, there is absolutely nothing stall can do, even a monkey can beat a stall team lacking clef with that set. The Manaphy user doesn't even have to predict in the slightest. Most top tier...

I am not saying that the 0 counters argument is irrelevant, there aren't any that's a fact. And i totally agree that Hoopa has a good risk/reward ratio due to its power and perfect coverage. I just think its not as good as many arguments here are making it out to be. Whats more, the only...
