https://pokepast.es/23fefe2bff37bb23 Peaked #100 on ladder, my highest spot ever, with :beedrill-mega: Dont judge me, I’m not a good player. Probably someone with real skills can bring this much higher. I am telling you, this mon has potential and it definitely helps that most of its counters...

:beedrill-mega: UR -> C- This is gonna be a controversial one. For those who don’t know, Pinkacross did a stream building mega beedrill in which he showed some ideas for building and using bee, most notably tspikes. Check out his stream for actually competent arguments and replays. Now, lets...

Run covert cloak on everything Now regarding all the ban hammers being proposed in the last few posts, I will share some thoughts: I have to agree with hidin on the :gholdengo: point, this is one of the mons holding the tier together and actually rewarding skill in most of its interactions...

:gholdengo: A+ -> S- I will start with a paste from my post on the meta discussion thread: I think it is one of the best mons around in a lando manner. At least 60% of teams out there could benefit from slotting a gholdengo, you don’t even need to run a spike stack. It brings so many...

Here’s my survey and general meta thoughts: :ogerpon-wellspring: 4 I think this is the main issue mon in the current meta. If a team can be broken by waterpon it will be broken by waterpon. Most teams are one ivy cudgel crit away from losing to this thing. Its actual counters are very cringe...

First of all 252 SpA Choice Specs Dragapult Hydro Pump vs. 92 HP / 0 SpD Tyranitar-Mega in Sand: 170-202 (46.7 - 55.4%) -- 69.5% chance to 2HKO Not a “clean” 2hko, about the same chance as a focus blast. Also, specs pult probably never fits hydro pump and I swear I have never got hydro pumped...

I find that bulkier teams are better equipped for dealing with it, since they can run multiple of moltres, tinglu, ttar, heatran, etc, to deal with all the sets while still pursuing their playstyle. I find fast but not fast enough (pivoty) offense to be what pult beats best (think mlop, koko...

I will add some remarks which imo should not be forgotten during the vote. 1) wisp sets crippling checks. I am mainly looking at pursuit mttar and gambit, with the pro ban argument being that, even if pult is pursuited, it will cripple the trapper with willo and make it useless. This is not...

Q1: pursuit trapping mttar and (especially) gambit. Don’t get me wrong, pursuit is still a great progress tool and a unique mechanic which heavily rewards skill and matchup understanding. It just feels like you are not trapping the obvious targets anymore (ghosts, psychics) as they tend to stay...

Ival vacuum wave is 8% usage and mscizor would be better off uturning on it then clicking BP since it lives any hit if it is healthy. All of these moves are around 50% dmg, so taking that much helmet + a hit during setup probably means it already killed something. Gambit and bolt ranges are at...

After playing some sun with this mon I have mixed feelings. First of all, I notice the absurd amount of sun counters on the ladder (especially the mid ladder I was in). I happened to queue into 3 mega altarias in a row, which wall most of the sun standards, and everyone else was running either...

Time to share some thoughts. I will quickly analyze two set options, dd/knock/acro/eq booster atk, and banded sun (booster atk or speed, whatever) 1st, lets look at the dd set and compare it with dd pult, a strong presence in the meta, but not quite overwhelming. DD pult is better at breaking...

I have a nomination: :rotom-heat: -> C- Example set: Rotom-Heat @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Levitate Tera Type: Electric EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 16 SpA / 60 SpD / 60 Spe Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Volt Switch - Overheat - Defog / will-o-wisp - Pain Split What is microwave rotom’s...

cool team, but I would recommend darts and maybe even twave on pult as the team gets kinda cooked by volcarona otherwise. Glowking is not really the best answer. I find that darts twave pult is quite annoying for volc.

Just wanted to ask what is up with the tapu fini hype? I was looking at the last usage stat and it sits at more usage then koko, shifu, and pelipper. Am I reading this wrong or are people really using fini?
