The goal of tiering is to have a balanced metagame, not to pander to specific or niche styles. There is no doctrine claiming all four weathers must be equal or even viable outright. Besides the biggest building block preventing them from being more mainstream is entry hazards, which aren’t...

Volcarona is fine right now. People have adjusted to LO and LO has the constant push-and-pull between fourth move and nature to cover things that are encountered frequently. I will not fault someone for saying they want it banned as it is disruptive and requires conscious team building efforts...

SV OU: Vert vs SoulWind - Free Stresh school walkouts will leave classrooms empty across the world… Jokes aside, hype match even without Stresh. Soulwind-Vert still has some of the best name recognition of any possible matchup. Soulwind is no slouch despite an up-and-down season and his resume...

The biggest issue is scheduling the auction around Christmas, New Years, and people being with their families during holiday season. It’s a lot easier to plan an auction for the first week of January than it is for late December. For reference, the auction has been January 3rd-8th every recent...

I think this is a good format for 2027 given how many years into SV we are. I am fine going back to more CG slots when generation 10 comes out given the hype/activity it will generate.

Quick Claw and King's Rock should still not be allowed in competitive formats. I have held this stance for years and I understand the logistical hurdles people bring up, but my god we are missing the mark by so much.
