Wanted to share a few ideas: :raging-bolt: Raging Bolt @ stompingtantrum Ability: Protosynthesis EVs: 160 HP / 252 SpA / 96 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 20 Atk - Volt Switch - Draco Meteor - Thunderclap - Thunderbolt Volt Switch Forte is cool, but Stomping Tantrum is imo so much...

Won for board dome with some hax https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9uu-2375384671

Sure, here are some replays: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9relayrace-2336526787 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9relayrace-2336527063-khodjmqq3sjdnw4shxy1ibhjy6acnr0pw The first replay is nightmare matchup versus U-turn + Shed Tail Cyclizar, I had to bait out the substitute and...

Perish trap plus Eject Button seems strong to me. If you didn’t know, Eject Button cancels the effects of U-Turn/Volt Switch/Flip Turn, so it lets you shut down the counterplay to Perish Song and get an easy trap. Sample team: https://pokepast.es/a4d6f76f8f0415c1 Example sequence: Murkrow...

Hi I'll kick off the monthly OM discussion. First off I want to say how cool it is that the tier is balanced at all, given that shared moves + items raises the power level of the tier considerably and there are almost no bans. Thanks DeepFriedMagikarp for this neat recap of their OMPL run that...

With September drawing to a close, here are my takes on the Triples meta and what performed better or worse than expected. Stronger than expected: Spread moves :regidrago: Going in, I thought spread moves were going to be really good. Turns out, they are really, really, really meta-definingly...

Good post, Hydreigon > Latios

Psychic Surge leaving gives priority users a lot more breathing room. I've played around with some disruption mons and here are my favorite sleeper picks: Murkrow plays very differently from other PrankWind users like Tornadus and Whimsicott. Quash helps you win the Tailwind mirror match even...

Saw the combination of Neutralizing Gas + Toedscruel and knew I had to try it in Triples. Here's what I came up with: :weezing-galar::toedscruel::sableye::landorus::roaring-moon::raging-bolt: <– click me The team looks like shit and probably is, but it's worked pretty well and is really fun to...

It's a funny meme, but I want to point out that even under the conditions in the comic, the Heatran survives and gets a KO back in return. 252 SpA Life Orb Tera Psychic Deoxys Helping Hand Expanding Force (120 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Heatran in Psychic Terrain: 263-309 (81.4 - 95.6%) -- guaranteed...

Could you tell us a little more about the council's thoughts on metagame health? What is meant by "too prominent"? I haven't used Psyspam myself, and I haven't found the Psyspam matchup problematic given that Rilla/Tailwind slot onto many teams naturally and strong dark types like Chien-Pao (w/...

:mirror-herb: A powerful strategy that I haven't seen much is Mirror Herb + Swagger. If you aren't familiar with the combo, Swagger is an attack that doubles an opponent's attack stat and confuses it, and :mirror-herb: is an item that copies an enemy stat boost. In triple battles a single...

It's a shame that Commander wasn't implemented in Triples; it was one of the strategies I was really looking forward to trying out. As it stands, it would be better for Commander to be banned outright than programmed not to work. It wasn't obvious to me why my team wasn't functioning and I was...
