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.
Hi just thought I’d add some further elaboration as to why I think Duraludon is unban worthy. For starters I’ve seen the argument used that Duraludon can force your hand to bring overly fat teams and that playstyle isn’t something that should be rewarded but I’d just like to point out that it...
:Ambipom: Ambipom A -> A+
The saga continues as does the uphill push to get this thing a relevant ranking that keeps up with how better it keeps getting. The list of Pokémon that do not have to turn tail & run in the face of Ambipom is pretty narrow and the ones that don’t are susceptible to...
High tide, brahs.
I too will be voting for a Duraladon unban. I think that there are several reasonable courses of action when up against it. As esteemed user DDJ mentioned :Assault-vest: :Slowbro-galar:/:Milotic: and :Amoonguss: with some Sp.Def investment to switch in on it once dropped...
What’s up, fornicators
Here to chat some metagame.
:Skuntank: A+ -> A/A-
I’m of the opinion this one is getting worse somewhat. With the resurgence of fat stuff, :Rhydon: / :Milotic: / :Amoonguss: / :Palossand: I’ve found this guy struggles to make any real progress. It is still good but I’ve...
Ahoy, Landlovers. Just getting in some more noms before next slate.
:Snorlax:/:Alcremie:: C- -> U/R
Some of those Pokémon (like Ditto) that will never suck in the tier and are always daunting to face. I haven’t seen a single one in several months and with haze being a necessity right now I...
Hi peeps. After getting reqs I would like to impart some wisdom on a potential voter or two.
This is very much not the first mon I would’ve put up for a suspect test but I’m not all too surprised it did because at times it feels jarring in the sense that if you don’t have a Pokémon such as...
Howdy Partners, with a debatably healthy sample size I’ve caught a decent glimpse of the metagame and there’s some things I’m keen to chat about.
:Ambipom: For those in the know I’ve been pleading the case for it; But it’s traction on the ladder has been ramping up more and more over the past...
I thought you were pretty much on the money only thing missing perhaps is that Sub + Seed is a genuine option that can cause some headaches such a set that outspeeds base 80 & 90’s can be super hard to lock down.
Fwiw: Scarf is more a set of the past seeing it is a true rarity, more commonly...
With a meta shift on the horizon just thought I’d add my current picks.
Noteworthy things:
:Sneasel: I was wrong I admit it. Oofhixd I’d be lying if I said I recalled Sneasel being as good as it is now ever really. It’s no joke on HO and the two mon commital Espeon/Avalugg-h to make the...
G'day m8's
Just some food for thought post slate.
As per usual i'll start with the most pressing.
:Lanturn: Lanturn
Okay so giving this one a rank was probably a little generous, It's matchups are too niche and its switch-in potential is very limited. I've personally found it lacking in bulk...
