    SV OU OP G-Weezing Defog Stall [Peaked #25, 1925]

    I don't know why I didn't try Mirror Coat on Mola, it works really well on this team! Not only does it help with Volt Switches and Heatran, but it also eases the Dragapult and Primarina matchups! Thanks a lot for the suggestion!!!

    OP G-Weezing Stall :sv/chansey: :sv/dondozo: :sv/alomomola: :sv/weezing-galar: :sv/mandibuzz::sv/talonflame: Thanks to the overwhelming presence of Gholdengo :gholdengo:, many are of the opinion that the only viable stall ist Heavy Duty Boots stall. This leads to successfull stall teams...

    Special Wall with encore beats it (e.g. Screamtail), preferably with a Dark type teammate. Edit: I am referring to tue Ostrich

    Mhm some of your points are true (I didn't even know Magic Coat doesn't exist anymore, ooopsi), and hazard stack is definitely more prominent than in previous gens. And Goldhengo fits this playstyle. Still the fact remains that only Corviknight is stopped completly cold by it, there are still...

    Why are so many post assuming you want to switch your spinner into the spinblocker?^^ It's the other way around! :D Also there is so much other counterplay to hazards than attacking the incoming spin blocker, e.g. HDB, Magic Bounce, Magic Guard, (Magic Coat), Taunt, Setting up your own hazards...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    Yeah, same was true for Z-Moves. You don't have to use it, but it's a one trick pony that brings some free benefit. I see nothing wrong with that. I think very soon people will not be surprised so much by pokemon suddenly changing types anymore, since its somewhat predictable. Similar to...

    I agree with FlutterMane and Iceweasel being broken and quickbanworthy. I don't really get the agitation about houndstone, there have been mons with absourdly strong moves before (regieleki, regidraco,...), that all suffered the same dilemma: They are only good in very specific scenarios, since...

    Gen 8 Double Fossil Hail - The Most Icy Team Of Generation Eight

    Nice take on the double fossils! I love your sets for Arctozolt and Vish! I also like Assault Vest Pert a lot. I built around double fossils a while ago, but I think your take is more solid. But how do you deal with Ttar? I guess thats a reason to keep Moonblast on Ninetales, to deal some damage...

    Gen 8 Mew Deception Lead (peak rank 19)

    I also experimented with scarf lead mew a little, and although it seems gimmicky it puts in a surprising amount of work. Why didnt you go with the physical set (Same coverage with CC, Triple Axle, Zen HB, but does more to spdef Heatran, Garchomp and the like)? Congrats on your peak!

    Gen 8 Rest Core Bulky Offence

    I think you refer to this: . . Pressure | Static . . 90 HP . 90 Atk . 85 Def . 125 SpA . 90 SpD . 100 Spe . . 580 BST Its not EVs, but (in this case Zapdos) base stats. The EVs are added on top. Its a bit misleading, since usually the EVs are posted at this position =)

    Gen 8 Rest Core Bulky Offence

    Hey =) I have to admit I haven't read the entirity of what you wrote, but a whole lot of it. I like your way of thinking, looking for mons with good traits rather than just mindlessly using the top 10 OU mons over and over again. Snorlax is really underrated imo and a lot of teams are...

    SS OU NASTY PLOT ROTOM WASH OFFENSE PEAK 2049 ELO #3 ON SS OU LADDER

    Very nice team! I love the offensive Rotom, cool mon to build ground! And Tangrowth handels the offensive grasses switching in to revenge Rotom perfectly. Congrats on the peak!
