What is your general playbook when running Ampharos and Skarmory? I have built both of them and have tried running a variety of team combinations with them, and my results have been much worse than when I run other teams like Chomp + Xern + Steel, etc. And I think it’s because I’m playing...

I want to point out that Metagross being “bad“ is a relative term, depending on where you are in terms of skill level and climbing the ranks. Against top competition, Metagross really becomes less and less viable, because it’s kind of a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none. Its overall kit and...

What is the Discord channel/server where this is being discussed? I don't see any dedicated Smogon channels for this.

I've gotten to Rank D pretty easily with a variety of teams, although I still kinda feel like I'm fumbling my way up the rankings. I still continue to have placements all over the place. Literally one battle I'll win 1st place easily with 8 or 9 kills, then the next battle I'll get 4th place...

I did not play season 1, because I took a long time to finish my playthrough of the main story. So season 2 I wanted to jump into this format, if anything just to get the new mega stones. I’ve been experimenting with a variety of different teams, almost all of which are variations of Xerneas +...

For Ting-Lu, this has been the mon I use for solo and for teams and it has been completely risk-free, even when I have been unlucky enough to get hit with Ruination twice. This mon is damn near perfect to beat this raid: :sv/torterra: Torterra @ Metronome Tera Type: Grass Ability: Shell Armor...

As everyone has said, this raid is no big deal at all. But for what it’s worth, I’m running the following Iron Moth for maximum online farming of this raid. I have not fainted once and I haven’t lost a single online raid, even when my teammates are *horrible*. Since it’s hard to get into this...

Mewtwo has been working very reliably for solo raids, but I don’t like using it for online raids, because it usually means I “steal” Soundproof from Kommo-o before other slower teammates like Slowbro can do it, which just dooms the team as those teammates faint repeatedly to Boomburst. So I’ve...

This raid was a lot harder than I thought it would be after reading other commenters in this thread. From early comments, I thought I could just bring in a bog-standard Stored Power mon, like Slowbro or Armarouge, and cruise this raid without any planning. The reality for me was that Slowbro got...
