Nice post and creative team. There are some logical choices here that suit the concept rather well, and I think this should definitely be able to win against a healthy match-up spread in the tier. Forretress seems like a natural partner to support a CB Tar, since it compresses Spikes and Spin...

I think one critical detail here is that these Speed Pass are decently high viability and splashable and can realistically account for 95+% of use cases with how robust the style can be, whereas Jask Pass is realistically optimized with Wak, Cune, Meta, Mag, and a flavor option with very limited...

I would like to push back just a little on the Speed Pass ban train. When making one of my earlier posts in this forum on the subject of Jask Pass, I made a glib comment concerning a general disinterest as to whether Jask or Speed Pass in general are banned for the simple fact that we generally...

As promised, my dump. This hasn't been fully QC'd, but these are sketches that aren't too far off complete or good in some way or another imo. I've adopted some newer elements into my philosophy, and I'd also like to pair this with the VR post I made and go into some light depth here. I spent a...

In preparation for the team dump I'm planning on making following JI, I've made a VR to synthesize my new framework in the builder, as I've tried to test the boundaries of what I understand to incorporate new looks. Seeing as I won't be sharing my best stuff quite yet, while my builder is more...

New to C&C, but I've been helping in ADV OU recently, and as someone who is confident but still getting better as a builder, I think it's only academically honest to do research for QC (or updates more generally) -- especially for the deeper cuts. I had to dig through several years worth of...

johnnyg2 beat me to the punch on this one. I've been trying to put together my builder for a minute now in order to make a team dump, and I have also been keeping some stuff close to the chest because I have been supporting Fruhdazi in CI7. In fact, I had the same idea to explain some of the...

That was neither my argument, nor my framing. H!kari was the one who argued something needs to be done about Jask, and I was just trying to share with someone why previous attempts to take tiering action concerning Ninjask -- e.g. Zacpz's thread, discussions on Cord, etc. -- have gotten nowhere...

While there is significant will from the playerbase to do something about Jask, the preference of the policy makers is to treat the Ninjask problem as solely a BP problem and to treat it by changing the rules around BP (or stat pass in particular) rather than handling Sand Attack or Jask as a...

Figured this would be the ideal place to post this, since there isn't much discussion on the topic on the forums or on Discord. As someone who builds a lot, I tend to spend a healthy amount of time considering which play styles are the most important to prepare for, which mons are the most...

[OVERVIEW] Hariyama is the premier Knock Off user of ADV OU, being more reliable defensively than other frail Knock Off users like Armaldo and Alakazam. Knock Off is Hariyama's biggest selling point because it's a a way to punish sand weak Pokemon that rely on Leftovers to survive in sand, but...

Good wins; don't encourage
