Fun 9 I've been playing since gen IV as a hobbyist (shout out to the killer nacho for getting me into tge hobby) but this is the first time Ive taken it serious enough to play the whole generation and try to improve instead of playing around low ladder. This is the first time SV the meta has...

Why does thd utility scissor set run sitrus berry?

Ranking =/= broken. In general, s tier mons are very splashable, which is one of the main things that distinbuish s from A+. Roaring moon was A+, Duraladon was A+, Gouging fire was A, etc. (I just scanned the changelogs, I don't remember what the mons specifically were before they were banned...

What do you mean by one dimensional? I would say it does mire than just set hazards, one of the sets doesn't even have any, and it's more than just a fat check to special attackers, since fat checks don't really use weakness policy. I think there is a reason that we continue to see more...

Finch's prim sample team used rocky helmet to good effect: https://pokepast.es/40b6bff80a7d28e3 And this Leng/ctc team: https://pokepast.es/2fdbf6f0be9f8c8d so it's definitely worked before pretty well. Ting lu is pretty crazy, tbh. I keep see people saying it's one dimensional, but it's...

I coukd have sworn there was an earlier time someone brought subtexctdd kyurem with a crazy pawmont/cresselia pp stall core, but I could be remembering wrong. It might ve just been a meme before then.

I think that pro Tera Blast players are arguing that playing around it is significant skill expression. Furthermore, the burden of proof is on the side changing the status quo, and being "cheesy" isn't enough for a ban so people have been using other words in tgd policy, such as uncompetitive...

Personally, while I do not believe Tera Blast is broken, I do believe that it has uncompetitive elements. Firstly, I do not necessarily think the uncompetitiveness is present on sweeping sets (Dragonite, Gambit, etc). I think many people have adequately argued that in general, these sets...

I'm on the fence because I think it has become very similar to kyurem, different sets (knick pivot, synthesis, sword dance, etc) with similar breaking power, but at the same time, less unpredictable because of Tera and team comp. I think I personally would like it banned, but I think giving it...

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?
