Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Not every Pokemon can counter every Pokemon, but the point of checks and counters is that Pokemon A can't really accomplish a goal without Pokemon B stopping Pokemon A.
Spectrier literally can break through its checks with minimum effort through status, PP stalling, Set-Up moves, and Strong...
1.) 4MSS is such a weird argument. Until you have witnessed the opponent's moveset, you have no clear way of knowing Spectrier's moves. So you have to take a guess. This goes for every pokemon, but as one as dangerously fast and strong as she, one wrong guess and it's "GG"
2.) Just because...
Wow, this discussion is heated! Let me join!
Anyways, this has already been said a bajillion times, but yes Spectrier is too restricting on the tier list and way too unbalanced for its own good. I'm not gonna say the whole dilemma as it's been repeated a lot of times, but I do want to give some...
Like Finch above me said, Shifu isn't what you would call "hard to put into a game." His main teammate are the Slow twins, which means as long as Slowbro/king are above half health, they can bring him in as many times as they want with Teleport. Combining this with Future Sight makes it hard to...
Virgin Urshifu vs the Chad Pangoro
Jokes and who's the better Dark/Fighting type arguments aside, Urshifu is very restricting and too strong for its own good. I'm gonna go over the most common set that Urshifu uses.
Wicked Blow
This move is the definition of broken. An 80 BP that always crits...
Either way ya'll doing this suspect test, I'll literally jump with joy when we get these immense threats out of the way.
The main issue for me is how Spec/Magear/Ace/Shifu SS limits your options just to handle them. Do I have to run Koko and Clef to take on Urshifu? Do I have to run...
I was thinking of Boots Glastrier a while back, but like you said, I wanted immediate power so once it got a chilling neigh boost it would hit incredibly hard. So Expert Belt is a pretty good alternative..
So I have been playing around with Glastrier and Trick Room for a little bit, and I was wondering if this set could be workable in OU.

Thank you Crown Tundra for bringing back my favorite Ground type, Nidoking(and Nidoqueen but King is best boi!) When the world needs an Stealth Rocker, a dude who can take on Pex and Celesteela, and have massive coverage we look towards...
...Lando-T, Garchomp, and Zygarde lol.
But if you...
Sigh... Let’s get this over with. Hello Mr. Vish, I see you are comfortable in NatDex OU. Sadly, you can’t stay, so leave... now.
This is pretty much a re-run of last time, but with more Pokemon added to the mix. That doesn’t make this dude any less annoying than last time. Mega Lopunny...
A lot of people are trying defend Cinderace by bringing up Hippowdon and Mandibuzz as “counters.” While yes it is true that they wall the entirety of Cinderace’s sets, coming into Cinderace is the problem. Here’s why:
They are slow. They can’t really touch Cinderace unless you rely on...
Hello Again!
Time for another episode I-don’t-have-reqs-but-here-is-my-opinion! Yay!
So the fiery bunny Cinderace. Yeah, this thing is broken. This thing has incredible attack power and speed making it an ideal sweeper, which sounds good right? Lol, no. Libero is just Protean with a different...
