    Resource SV UU DLC 2 Viability Rankings- Update at Post #64

    Not in charge of tiering/VR decisions (thank god) but I think Liligant-H gets outclassed substantially not just by grass types in the tier, but also setup sweepers. Zapdos is an interesting example to choose to illustrate your point - I think if you're relying on +1 Hustle-boosted Ice Spinner...

    SV UU Screens HO ft. Weakness Policy Iron Crown

    Cool team and extremely emblematic of the state of the tier right now. Always love to see new UU RMTs! Offense is extremely fun to play because, to some level, you can pick what beats you more than most playstyles. If you're struggling against Webs + Scizor, I think there are two main changes...

    Metagame SV UU Metagame Discussion - The Indigo Disk

    Thanks for sparking discussion, I've been wanting to not write for school for a minute lol. :mamoswine: :assault vest: This Pokemon, while admittedly needing some pretty substantial support, remains extremely effective in the current meta due to its combination of raw strength (130 base...

    Metagame SV UU Metagame Discussion - The Indigo Disk

    These are generally pretty good answers to Terrakion if you can get it locked into a move. As someone who has been spamming Terrak lately, I do want to show that these Pokemon (outside of Pech) are really only good at switching into Terrakion if you absolutely know what Terrakion is going to be...

    SV UU H-arc sand with specs hydreigon to provide a nuke in the back. SV UU (peaked somewhere around 1650'ish before dropping thanks to testing other teams)

    That's a fair point - you assuredly need to predict Garchomp coming in to tag it with WoW, but that doesn't change your state of play either way: if you're serious about 2hko'ing an incoming Garchomp with Double-Edge, you need to predict Garchomp coming in anyway. I look forward to seeing what...

    SV UU ...fear, and dead men [peak 11]

    Thanks for rate - I'll address some of your options in turn. 1. Yeah, the team is intentionally off-meta/anti-meta, but each of these mons has specific justifications. 2. Booster Moth is good, yes: the value that Gardevoir provides to this team, however, is the combination of Healing Wish +...

    Hey H>L, cool team. I'm going to make an attempt to not completely upend what you have going on, as each builder kinda has their own style. Instead, I'll just make a few suggestions regarding evs/moveslots: feel free to take the suggestions or completely disregard them, won't hurt my feelings...

    Metagame SV UU Metagame Discussion - The Indigo Disk

    I think Molt-G and Latios are both broken, but for wildly different reasons. I'll try to illustrate the differences between how these two things are broken, but I believe they are nonetheless broken. Do you find Galarian Moltres to be balanced in the tier or agree that it needs tiering...

    :garchomp: :blastoise: :pecharunt: :bisharp: :gardevoir: :terrakion: Friends, enemies, Armada: welcome to another Geopolitics RMT. The Pecharunt + Garchomp (“Pechachomp”) core has remained a dominant playstyle since Pecharunt’s inclusion into the tier in February. This team seeks to build on...

    Resource SV UU DLC 2 Viability Rankings- Update at Post #64

    What motivated Diancie's resurgence? My initial guess is that access to fairy typing + bulk + clear body makes it a serviceable latios switch-in, but curious as to the thoughts of others. I do further see that it gets access to some good utility moves (SR + spikes), but it sorta pales in...

     SV UU Suspect Process Round 5 - medicine

    On mobile so my formatting is gonna be bad - point taken re limiting discussion. I generally agree that the philosophy of “saying don’t ban X because Y is more broken is bad” - perhaps I didn’t clearly flesh out what I was trying to say. Maybe a better way of what I was getting at is that Garg...
