First, cheese playstyles don't need to be consistent for players using them to stay on high ladder, they only need to have a good enough matchup spread against enough teams for players to maintain their elo. I sampled the November usage stats to see how prevalent cheese was. | 33 | Araquanid...

Song should have been: I've finally gotten my reqs after playing around with various teams with and without palafin. I overall found palafin to be very manageable and honestly a little bit underwhelming, and will be voting to UNBAN palafin. First, I'd like to ask whether major DLC releases...

All in for Palafin :talonflame: all in for palafin

I switched the enamorus to be healing wish/Tera blast stellar/moon last/Earth power. I think Tera blast stellar is necessary for scarf since the team is weak to a lot of random Tera mons like ghost garg and having the strong Tera blast stellar as a blanket check really worked well for me. Also...

Goated team, just got gliscor reqs with it. I changed the enamorus to scarf since I didn't like how slow the team was. Tera fire shuca gambit is a genius tech, combines the best of both worlds of the wisp immunity from tera fire and the ground neutrality from tera fairy

Confirming as ouzqremisbae, used this terrible team with no ice, normal, flying, and dragon resist (https://pokepast.es/3897cbeaf1998df3) still never lost to fraudulent kyurem.

Gouging Fire: Ban

Confirming as ougp taco

Right now, all the talk of the metagame is about super threatening special attackers like darkrai, kyurem, and raging bolt. Knowing that the meta would naturally shift towards checking these special threats, I decided to build a no special attacker team mostly as a joke. However, what started...

Made a fun team with no special attacks featuring Okidogi (best zamazenta counter in the world), am having pretty good success in the 1800-1900 range with it. Team: https://pokepast.es/73bb9233617a55ae Here's me stomping a high 1900s stall player...
