My go-to way to beat the fake out shenanigans, especially vs Rillaboom is Rocky Helmet. Dealing around a quarter of someones health bar because they clicked Fake Out + Grassy Glide is always nice, and from there on makes them so cautious to try it more.

Double-posting but not really, it's been 12 hours, but I wanted to showcase a few attackers I've been loving on ladder. :ogerpon-cornerstone: Ogerpon-Cornerstone (F) @ Cornerstone Mask Ability: Sturdy Tera Type: Rock EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Focus Energy - Ivy...

Ok as a mid-ladder scrub, heres my not as relevant opinion: Assurance is fine, it feels unwallable at times, but so does a lot of the meta. Generally its either priority to kill the Assurance user or sack and switch in a counter to whatever mon is using it. Belly Drum is a non-issue. Taking...

Chlorophyll HAS to go. I've already run into 3 different sun teams on ladder with 0 counterplay. You HAVE to run your own weather to counterplay theirs or a +2 Solar Blade from Lilligant-Hisui OR +2 Venusaur Solar Beam is going to punch a hole through your entire team before you get a chance to...

So I found a bug that almost certainly needs patched, but has resulted in some really funny matches. :alomomola: Alomomola @ protect Ability: Mist Tera Type: Fairy EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Relaxed Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Scald - Wish - regenerator - Skill Swap Some people...

After around 70 games going as high at 1400, and then back down to 1100, and back up to 1300, I'm gonna throw in some that I think are problem children: :skarmory: :corviknight: Body Press is a problem, and I dont understand those who think it isnt. The problem I'm seeing is a lot of people run...

Opinions playing on Day 1/2 from some random dude: Trick Room is stupid, like mega stupid. I get people have problems with Perma screens, but my biggest issue is that you are either running Trick Room, or you are losing. If you do not have a pokemon with Trick Room and you fight a trick room...

Here's a set I think is really funny and works better than I thought it would: :talonflame: + :clefable: Clefable (Talonflame) @ Choice Band Ability: Magic Guard Tera Type: Fire EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Flare Blitz - Brave Bird - Upper Hand - U-turn Stats: 78 / 98...

On the topic of Parafusion, it requires you to actually first get the opponent paralyzed without them wiping the floor with you when you try to use Thunder Wave, then it requires you get Jirachi in to click Iron Head, then the opponent can just swap into a steel resist and will eventually break...

I really don't get the argument of "If Ghold was gone we could run better items on Skeledirge instead of boots" no the hell you wont. Boots is far and beyond the best item on Dirge and it doesn't need leftovers or anything with Slack Off right there. Just because Ghold is gone won't make hazards...

With all the new toy syndrome and the ban talk flying everywhere, I found a pokemon with a very good niche in the tier as a stat dropping, status spreading, SpDef pivot in everyones favorite doubles hellraiser: :ss/incineroar: Incineroar @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Intimidate Tera Type...

If the Kokoloko method happens, which Im not all for, but whatever, here are my opinions on who should go: :kyurem: Baxclibur 2 + a bonkers Specs set :volcarona: Volcarona :enamorus: brain-dead strat that becomes overwhelming at +2, and very hard to deal with at +1. :roaring-moon: Still just as...

I've been personally running a lot of Alomomola + Great Tusk, so I don't really notice Gambit much.

It hasn't even been that long, a few days even and somehow the meta has completely changed. At first we all thought there was like 3 completely broken things and everyones 3 were different and suddenly it feels... oddly balanced? Like it feels like some stuff is busted, but at the same time they...

Gonna just dump all my opinions on the meta despite nobody asking: :deoxys-speed: People who think Deoxys isn't busted don't understand the power of Life Orb Psycho Boost. Hazards Deoxys is good and all, but offensive 4 Attacks mixed is where it's at. Psycho Boost, BoltBeam, and Superpower is...
