Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I know it’s not getting banned, so this is screaming into the void. But since I just lost another game to a Kyurem freeze: it is a damn stain on this already troubled gen that that Mon is still in the tier.
Do you have issues with Gambit if Corv gets overwhelmed? I find if the opponent has strong multiple physical attackers it can get tough to handle, especially after Tera.
Does anyone have bulky teams like this? I find a lot of people talk about them but I never see them on the ladder and they feel very difficult to build properly.
This is the Smogon playbook. Say something isn’t broken and then only provide a vague answer as to why.
“Get rocks up”
“Use one of its’ many checks”
“Sequence properly”
Very fun team to use! My only issue is mid ladder there are so many UU/RU mons mid ladder they can be frustrating to deal with. If I see Volcanion, I have to Tera ting Lu right away.
I of course don’t mean fresh players. Ausma mentioned players in the 1600-1750 range. I think that range probably has a decent understanding of the meta. I’m in that range and definitely don’t even have a chance at reqs now.
Thanks. While I understand there was a large group calling for harder reqs, I wish Ausma was listened to more. Newer/inexperienced players really don’t have an avenue to attempt reqs.
No offense I don’t think you’re Kyurem comment is saying anything. “Without an item the Mon isn’t as good.” Is kind of a weak counter argument. I think the arguments you were referring to were talking about Kyurem’s set variety and how making the wrong switch could result in an auto lose...
Idk about anyone else. I don’t think there’s anything particularly wrong with the meta but I haven’t enjoyed it in a very long time. I know Finch likes to say “oh look Araquanid instead of Ribombee, the meta is always changing” but just a different webs setter seems like the same boring...
