OU is currently 6v6 meta despite Champions not having a 6v6 meta. And some Pokemon are about the same in viability, some are better off in a 3v3 environment while others are better in a 6v6 environment. Namely how much Pokemon likes switching around, or Pokemon like Kingambit and moves like Last...

I’d say the biggest factoring difference is how much switching is involved. Since BSS is a 3v3, there is less switching and thus less hazard chip. Additionally, you aren’t always going to bring all 6 of your Pokemon, so its much harder to fall back into something in the bad when Charizard fires...

Most people would rather just use regular Dragonite, even without Tera or Boots. Dragonite has pretty bad special movepool and lacks a Special version of Dragon Dance. It also doesn’t help that there is no weather rocks so Rain is stuck to a few turns and is easily replaced by...

Ariabros…the First Impression and Toxic Thread buffs weren’t enough…

The problem is the variance and trying to calculate numbers. There is more variance, which means the Gengar that isn't investing into stats is frailer than the bulkier Pokemon that invest into their stats more. It's small, but impactful in how you EV your Pokemon. Also it'd be way easier to use...

It would. I literally posted the math behind it in the post you’re replying to. With how high defense Pokemon are a lot better off and how glass cannons are even frailer.

:sv/lopunny-mega: People are seriously sleeping on Mega Lopunny despite it amazing placement right now. Lopunny-Mega @ Lopunnite Ability: Limber Level: 50 EVs: 32 Atk / 2 Def / 32 Spe Jolly Nature - Close Combat - Swords Dance - Quick Attack/Mach Punch - Mega Kick Mega Lopunny is...

Actually since how EVs work, being just additional 63 stats at level 100 and natures, you’d be much better off investing your EVs into Speed and HP. A 252 Atk / 252 SpA Quiet Hoopa Unbound has 419 Atk and 482 SpA, with a combined 901 offense. Meanwhile an uninvested Hoopa Unbound has 356 Atk and...

STAT LANES Metagame Premise: When calculating damage, each moveslot uses their respective stat to calculate damage. Slot 1 = Atk Slot 2 = Def Slot 3 = SpA Slot 4 = SpD :sv/Pikachu: Pikachu @ Light Ball Ability: Lightning Rod EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe Naive Nature - Thunderbolt - Volt...

It'd be really helpful if you didn't color code your text like this. The grey text is barely legible.

Jurasic Dust, Protooze, Protomirage

That makes sense for not introducing new Pokemon/moves introduced in Legends games. You couldn’t properly implement Enamorus or Samurott-H into the game until they were available in SV. You couldn’t be too sure what they would do, alongside moves like Ceaseless Edge or Bitter Malice. However...

Drought also gives Charizard access to Solar Beam and Fire type Weather Ball, reduces its Water weakness to be effecfively neutral, and also nullifies Sand/Rain/Snow that the opponent would abuse. And yeah a x4 weakness to Rock isn’t great, but you still get an immunity to Earthquake from...

Where is Protooze?
