that's why we have two setup control mons, you can switch in the top two ndubers threat, murkrow, to tank psystrike

when did i say the ko was with sneak and not specthief

yeah, this mon has more than earned the ban at this point. its ability to steal boosts makes it a killer of HO, balance and stall alike. HO is obvious, as it can take a hit from the superpowered offensive threats of the opponent that crush anything in their way, like dracovish, thanks to its...

problem is, realistically without a bulk up z-marsh's damage output is laughable. and that sucks, because marsh really really struggles to find opportunities for a bulk up, only being able to on ekiller and if you are feeling risky something it forces out so you fail to BU up, and you can only...

sash marshadow is a meme. please don't use it, and please don't listen to murkrow guy, marshadow absolutely needs an item to do damage and hazards are a very important part of the game still. that comment is chock-full of misinformation

Koraidon: Ban

-kora doesn't counter pdon, sure it can set up on it while living blades and then ko but it can't switch in -koraidon doesn't have any relevant counters. xerneas outright dies to +2 flare blitz, and unec does to dragon STAB (scale shot, which also lets it deal with former checks like hooh)...

good sir, if kora is so good against stall why is there so much stall in ladder?

the problem is that you're running regular kyogre in pdon: the format just for one mon

another thing i'd like to mention is stall is the playstyle that deals with kora the best, as it can afford to run fatmons like dozo that check it the best and that balance and co. can't afford to run

hazards are very common, what? HO teams have deos lead, which is an extremely good lead that can basically always get at least one layer of spikes up, while not letting the opponent defog through sheer offensive pressure/stuff like taunt. and as for less offensive teams spiker pdon exists...

uh, something isn't a check if it dies after a swords dance +2 252 Atk Orichalcum Pulse Koraidon Low Kick (120 BP) vs. 252 HP / 56+ Def Groudon-Primal: 312-367 (77.2 - 90.8%) -- 25% chance to OHKO after 1 layer of Spikes the most defensive pdon dies to jolly teraless +2 koraidon after spikes...

"koraidon is outdamaged" so what, it wins the 1v1 even unboosted because it outruns and kora kills most pdon sets at +2 with low kick, with even defensive falling to the most minimal chip or spikes

koraidon isn't countered by anything (bar from shit like tapu fini but we known that isn't a very viable mon). have you ever played with/against sd scale kora? as for scarf ogre, it's unviable and has been so ever since pdon got introduced. it has effectively no water STAB because of it and has...

confirming as NDUK dtc09 holy hell my luck is so garbage
