Huh, well that's very interesting. So does that mean that this is an error on Showdown's part, or Bulbapedia's? It would be funny if we'd been playing with a bug this whole time and didn't realize it until now, lol.

A great team that I'd dread fighting myself on the ladder, but I will make one correction here: Tablets of Ruin is very much affected by the likes of Mold Breaker and Sunsteel Strike. Not only have I used Solgaleo enough on the ladder to know that's the case, but it's even listed as such on...

A few thoughts on possible abilities: Dragonite - It should be Multiscale. We already have precedence for Megas getting their broken base form hidden abilities (Blaziken), base Multiscale + Soul-Heart would be WAY too good, and it gives a chance for people to use some base Inner Focus to block...

I remember losing to your team. I'll admit I'm still a little a salty over the loss because I made some really dumb decisions during that match, but your team is very good. As for Eject Button, it certainly has its place in this meta, but there's just a lot of stiff competition for items here...

Tbh I've never had much trouble fighting these teams, as the commitment to Scarf means they can really only work as late-game cleanup, making playing around them very easy. Since the Zama ban I've taken to using Solgaleo, and he's fantastic at revenge killing both of these guys, even when he's...

I think Solgaleo could work as a decent replacement here. Access to Stone Edge, comparable bulk, with slightly more attack power at the cost of speed (which can be remedied via Flame Charge or Agility). Losing Dauntless Shield means Raging Bolt's Body Press won't hit quite as hard, but Full...

Flare Boost Drifblim + Quick Feet Jolteon + Flame Orb to boost your Sp. Atk and Spe by 50%, it's alright but there are a lot of quicker, easier ways to boost your power in this meta, and they're usually on Pokémon much better than Drifblim.

Don't have it, unfortunately.

You're gonna want Shell Armor. All the Defense in the world isn't going to stop a Sniper + Super Luck Crit from an Ogerpon's Ivy Cudgel. Also something like Guard Dog or Suction Cups to prevent forced switches helps, but I'd recommend just trying out stuff to see what your teams biggest openings...

Then I'd recommend adding Ting-Lu to the team. The SP player Nurdy Burdy runs a team that sounds like it fits your playstyle, I recommend you check out his stuff. Here's one of his matches to get a feel for how the team works: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9sharedpower-2409332965?p2

I'd argue No Guard is better because it provides what Compound Eyes can't: consistency. 90% sounds really good on paper, but we've all had plenty of instances where that 10% costs you the game. Compound Eyes mitigates risk, while No Guard removes it entirely. Mind you, I don't think No Guard...

Sounds to me like the real culprit here is No Guard. Hustle is good, but without the assistance of accuracy-boosting abilities it would become very inconsistent. No Guard is especially scary in conjunction with Hustle because it lets you use the most powerful moves available without fear of ever...

I suppose I should clarify my position a little more: I don't have a problem with Ubers in this meta. I make use of a few myself to great effect and I think they add great flavor to the meta without completely defining it (well...MOSTLY, but we'll get back to that). Shared Power as a meta is...

Heyo, a little new here to Shared Power, been playing about two weeks, but in that time I've managed to climb up to number 8 on the leader board, and I've noticed a serious trend in team construction that I think is cause for regulation. To put it bluntly: Choice Scarf. There is way, WAY too...
