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.
You do understand that this post was originally meant as a joke, right? like no one with half a braincell would actually bother to use spewpa in OU. It was purely a joke reply to people fighting over whether or not pure bug is a good typing.
Alright so
Solar beam Pult
Hear me out-0 SpA Dragapult Solar Beam vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Great Tusk in Grassy Terrain: 370-436 (85.2 - 100.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock and 1 layer of Spikes
Under sun with a set of ddance/t blast ghost/darts/beam this set coooks
MY MAN PERFECTED THE CHESNAUGHT-VOLCANION CORE NICE
(also i would recommend using tera ground on volc cause water can't touch you anyways and you get a resistance to rock+immunity to electric and neutrality to ground at the expense of a grass weakness but who is gonna use grass moves on a volcanion)
This is all well and dandy, but we're still just being hypothetical here. Currently, jirachi is NOT avaliable in SV, so this whole argument is nothing but spectulation about something that has never actually been a problem in current gen OU. if it were a legitimate problem in OU, that would be...
I mean, bundle issssssss a penguin. kiinda.
And penguins are known for their swimming abilities, so it kiinda makes sense?
give barra back flip turn gamefreak
I admit I did not know about the kings shield nerf, and now this drop makes a lot more sense. I still think that, overall, slash is a lot better than gren post nerfs but I understand where you’re coming from
I’ve been thinking about the fuss that happened around gren dropping to uu, and I think people are forgetting that aegislash, an Ubers Pokémon for the first two gens it was available, dropped to uubl in the shift from Gen 7 to Gen 8.
And yes, I know that its stats got nerfed a little, but gren...
Bored of this Uber talk
In all seriousness unbanning volc has a high chance to fuck up the mega by not fucking anything except gambit and all it’s checks and counters but shush firebugrules
soooooooooooo
If, say, gamefreak reveals a Gen 6 remake and added back Gen 6 gale wings (ignoring megas...
Yeah, but blissey is relevant only on stall, and clods viability has dropped to almost entirely rain teams. Ting lu doesn’t have recovery and can’t really ohko back, but Pex is a viable block. Also with ting, most if the time ig also has to check the other threats like gambit that may be on the...
I feel that in a gambit-less meta, people would be forced into using a garg or even a fucking eviolite BISHARP to stop pult. At the moment the counter play is limited to scarfed darks/scarf cheeseman, gambit, bax shard, and spdef garg. I may be missing something, but while it is definitely a...
My heatran post was a joke ;(
I love the little frog thing, but atm with tusk smacking it with either stab and lando-T, treads to an extent, volcanion and other such pokemon like valiant and dnite in the tier I find myself countering it quite easily. How are other people finding the...
the OU council is slowly getting rid of pokemon that can kill heatran.
We have had zama-C banned, which can body press it to oblivion if it switches in on a IPress; we had pao, who could 1v1 a heatran if it missed a single magma storm;volcarona, whose tera ground/water sets turned a counter into...
