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.
Note: I'm not trying to seriously argue to unban Parental Bond. Just wanting a bit of discussion.
1. Parental Bond does not affect multi-strike moves
2. What about Parental Bond is broken with high BP moves? How is it any different from other damage boosting abilities? Most of these moves...
Question: Why is Parental Bond banned? I get that it's a really good ability, but what about it is banworthy? Wouldn't most attackers rather use Beads or Sword of Ruin for damage output?
The team I'm running Latios on heavily relies on it for damage. I also don't have a setup sweeper so memento wouldn't work well for my team. Flip turn though sounds amazing. I totally forgot it now learned that XD. As for hatterene and enam, I literally haven't run into either mon in the last...
Just felt like sharing two of my favorite sets
:sv/barraskewda:
Barraskewda @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Primordial Sea
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Liquidation
- Close Combat
- Surf
- Flip Turn
While running Choice Scarf on the torpedo fish might seem silly, it...
Thick Fat Corv with Body Press. Run leftovers to more consistently wall both or run Utility Umbrella to screw with weather attackers. Doesn't handle choiced attackers very well but it laughs at Weavile and Chein-Pao and with Umbrella can take on non-CB physical fire attackers like Ceruledge.
I've come back to AAA after a break and wanted to share a couple mons I came up with.
I've been loving Meloetta-Pirouette and it's honestly kinda scary. You run Relic Song to change form then start deleting mons with Facade and CQC. Trick is some tech I thought was fun but can be swapped out...
Was messing around in the teambuilder and ended up making a halfway decent team so I figured I'd share

Toxapex is at the core of the team. His primary job is to spread poison through Toxic and T-spikes with a secondary role as a physical wall. If you lose...
Magic Bounce is a boon to stall teams. Hazards are a great source of reliable chip damage against a stall team. Giving stall a way to deny hazards so effectively (while also basically setting their own) just buffs them even more. Stall teams were awful to play against last gen until the...
IMO Solar Beam isn't worth it, especially if you're already running Giga Drain. While Desolate Land hard counters water moves, running Solar Beam makes you very weak into Primordial Sea users. I'd personally recommend using Psychic or Bug Buzz instead.
Wanted some feedback on my new team. Focus is on each mon being really bulky while still having significant firepower. Wanted to see where I could optimize it (including the names) and also ask, does this count as a stall team?
