Personally, I think the metagame is better now than it's ever been. My only real standout I want to mention is giving Tera Blast a 5. I don't think Tera Blast is broken, but I believe it has a negative impact on the tier which will only worsen when there is a different current gen. While Teras...

I agree that Dnite is not broken, but I just wanted to bring up hurricane, which can allow dnite to break through non avalanche dozo if needed and can be nice against zama. (Leng and CTC team) Dragonite (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Multiscale Tera Type: Normal EVs: 224 HP / 252 Atk / 32...

Ceruledge has been my favorite pokemon to use this generation, and was the only thing keeping me playing when Gouging Fire was legal. My favorite niche set was bulk up, disable, bb, sneak. I ran it a lot on double removal teams, kind of like sub/protect kyurem structures. Not as good as focus...

Will there becs qualified discussion thread for this suspect test? As someone who isn't good enough at the game yet to get reqs I've found the qualified discussion threads educational and informative.

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics What is the bug? The move wish was able to be used by clefable on one team but not by alomamola on the other team. The game in question: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2321309223 Are you able to replicate it? If so, how? It...

The talk about Life Orb recently had me thinking, what is the main difference/ advantages/disadvantages of Expert Belt vs LO Zamazenta?

What move is dropped for Foul Play on Pecharunt when it runs that?

I believe that we should NOT current suspect/ban pecha. While I personally believe it is uncompetitive, I think that it would not be banned right now. I think the voting playerbase is slightly overfocused on whether something us obviously broken vs whether something is competitive or healthy. I...

How would one tune in to watch it?

I have a lot of thoughts on this suspect. I think it is one of the most complicated suspects of the generation because it is much less about whether Palafin itself is broken in an obvious way and more about its effect on the metagame, which is often hard to correctly judge in the span of two...

What effect does neutralizing gas have on palafins ability? Can it block a form change ?

Where can I find OLT replays? I see the discussion thread with summaries but no replays.

I'm not saying it is or isn't broken, I'm saying it's obviously complicated and worth testing. You also just completely ignored making a policy argument whatsoever in favor of a weird gotcha with elo? This gen outright countering a mon almost never works (perhaps besides stall) because of power...

Yami (Corviknight) (M) @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Pressure Shiny: Yes Tera Type: Water EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD Relaxed Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Roost - Brave Bird - U-turn - Iron Defense This is from on of the new sample teams. What is the purpose of brave bird and iron...

This is totally fair and something I can't really speak to. I'm not actually good at this game. I do watch tourny replays; but only really ones with teams that I like. As a casual consumer/player at low ladder the only place I really see common meta shifts and trends are via the suspect tests...
