I've been playing a bit now that Walking Wake has dropped and I think it's a great addition to the metagame. I know I usually have some unorthodox takes on OU metagames but I personally think it isn't too broken, as it definitely has counterplay. Things like blissey and spdef scream tail wall...

If the justification for garg not being broken is that you gotta run a suboptimal item on a mon that already is questionably problematic (gholdengo), then I think the pile of salt needs the boot. It's like saying dugtrio was fine cuz you could always run shed shell if it really bothered you...

IMO tera is a lesser threat in how unenjoyable gen 9 OU is. I made melmetal suspect reqs right before gen 9 released, but I just quit the game after the first couple of weeks in gen 9, because like many others in this thread, I absolutely hated it. I only started playing in gen 7 ou right...

To make some productive discussion, how do you guys handle future sight + shifu/weavile? My best bet has been slowbro, cuz it can afford to take a knock or u-turn in a pinch, but in general it's an extremely powerful offensive combo that forces progress. I'm not an amazing player tho so I'd love...

I stg people should be required to post their gxe/elo when they make takes like this. Specs lele is basically unwallable (glowking + dark type is a good defensive core for it, and strong in general), and honestly if we want to get down to it kinda problematic in today's metagame. If you're...

I'm guessing scarlet and violet will be awful metagames for the first 6 months, I think we should try to resolve gen 8 now before it becomes another BW, where it's a problematic metagame cuz they didnt take action sooner. I think weavile, lele, torn and pult will be considered very problematic a...

Alternatively, have you ever considered using a wall breaker?

Anyone still saying toxapex is should be banned in October 2022 gen 8 OU meta should be ashamed of themselves as a player. It's a good mon no doubt but it isnt problematic whatsoever. People who are endlessly complaining about it should post replays where it puts in an inordinate amount of work...

On the flip side, I dont think clicking stealth rocks and basically guarenteeing 200% damage over the course of a battle is exactly high skill either. Boots was super obnoxious pre dlcs, but nowadays I don't find balance or stall teams to be that awful to face. I mean, it's not like tournament...

just realized I didnt do it properly, here it is :jirachi: edit: confirmed

That can be said of literally any mon that doesn't have a recovery move also thanks for telling me

With all due respect, if it has no counters, it should be considered broken and there should at least be a real discussion of the ban hammer. Having a check isnt enough for a lot of threats, especially since there are basically no universal checks to melmetal, its set variety let's it fish for...
