    Metagame Alphabet Cup

    I've talked in another post about some of the other broken threats, where I mentioned Regieleki in particular as being overwhelming with access to revelation dance, a far better tera blast, on top of already being broken in its own right, so it's not like I disagree. However, all of the pokémon...

    Metagame Alphabet Cup

    Let's talk about it. While I won't mention it every time, all of them have the ability to tera normal in order to boost the power of espeed. :sv/Eiscue: I've talked about this mon before, but it's busted, and there's only one reason why: belly drum Extreme speed. With extreme speed, it...

    Metagame Alphabet Cup

    That's fair, but fake out and mach punch give it some useful tools that Maushold doesn't get to help deal with faster threats. I would say Persian's pretty underwhelming overall, but I think it's a bit better than Maushold in this format.

    https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9mixandmegacup-1863708831 On turn 21, what I assume is an illusion pokémon disguised as a Carkol mega evolves, keeping its typing (Note turn 23, where it takes neutral damage from fire blast), but doesn't lose the illusion, even when hit.

    To add to this, Ally switch and protect shouldn't use the same fail chance.

    https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9brokencup-1818989512 Turn 3, Sableye with Parental Bond uses Dynamax cannon, but it only hits once, with no multi-hit message attached. I couldn't find any indication in the move descriptions or on Bulbapedia that it works like that.

    I don't see the problem? The behaviour you're showing in these replays matches what Bulbapedia claims will happen in the link you gave. '...a Pokémon holding a Red Card is hit by U-turn, Volt Switch or Flip Turn without fainting, the Red Card activates and forces the attacker to switch to a...

    Research Scarlet & Violet Battle Mechanics Research

    According to the research here, transforming into the target will gain you the current rage fist boosts they have. I'm not sure about hitting a pokémon while transformed, but switching Ditto out and in again will update it to the rage fist user's current counter.

    Format Discussion Super Staff Bros 4 Discussion Thread

    A new generation is out, which means that SSB4 is officially an older generation metagame! After playing over 6,000 games, this is my final, definitive tier list for the format (tiers are ordered). Thanks for making such a fun meta!

    Metagame Revelationmons

    The joke is that Regieleki exclusively has strong electric STAB options and nothing else.

    Don't worry, we're working on an update VR list and Kingdra is definitely on there.

    Metagame Partners in Crime

    Let's talk about one of my favourite strategies in Partners in Crime: Skill Swap. A lot of already good doubles pokémon, particularly support pokémon, learn skill swap naturally and may have a free moveslot. A lot of Partners in Crime is taking advantage of your partner's shared ability to make...
