I know it’s just a minor convenience but is there any way we could get the mon’s names to link to their USM smogon page? I also know that giving editing permissions to a random user isn’t at all a good idea but for what it’s worth I’d be willing to do it myself

Fair enough. Out of curiosity, why does Gren run Dark Pulse over ice beam? It already has stab hydro pump and the ice coverage is significantly better

Any thoughts on using loaded dice on Gren over life orb? You do lose a lot of power, but you have a base 75 priority move and you don’t lose health every turn.

Look man I get that Gen 9 is a shitshow right now but it is NOT worse than the absolute disaster that is Gen 5. That tier just needs to start over, it’s a complete fucking mess

I guess there's no way to have the computer decide what mon needs tera blast the most. well i appreciate the response

Regieleki is still fairly useful with tera electric but it's a massive massive downgrade from tera ice. If we could calculate it, I'm fairly confident winrate difference between the two would be vast. Tera electric eleki is way underleveled because it's balanced based on eleki's (presumably...

where on the forms are we supposed to discuss pre-home mons? we can't use the pre-home forms anymore so do we just start making new threads on the main overused page again?

forgot about sleep powder. its really difficult to fit it on a set tho, as this thing isnt strong enough to be used without boosts, but also has really bad coverage and thus needs to have 3 attacks. its also way too fragile to try and run a support set. only set i can see sleep power being good...

I mean by the time you’re wasting an item slot like that you might as well just… run choice band chlorophyll

Would there be any changes to these sets for the UU metagame? Rain is significantly more popular there as well which might change how it’s used.

I mean it depends on the definition of “void”. If you mean dark type special attacker than yeah it fills the void but if you mean chi-you’s actual specific role (slow, insanely powerful special nuke with no utility) then it doesn’t.

w status

When the difference in power is so disgustingly vast, are they even comparable in role? Greninja is a fast mon with zero bulk, amazing utility, and good damage only on the condition that you choose to run specs or maybe LO, otherwise its damage is mediocre. Chi-Yu is a slower mon with zero...

isn't funbro banned tho? if it can result in an endless battle shouldn't it be banned based on that precedent?

i know this is an OU thread but since theres nowhere to talk about this thing in ru im just gonna do it here. i think its worth dropping stone miss. close combat hits harder cuz tough claws and actually hits the opponent. wondering what i should replace it with tho. psychic fangs, play rough...
