This post does an excellent job at highlighting an issue I think I've really been having with SV OU tiering policy recently, which is the word "uncompetitive". This word is pretty much a massive gray zone and allows for things to get banned with no real explanation other than "we didn't like...

I did consider this and was thinking about it from the pro-ban perspective. I know we tend to not consider what the meta would look like after another pokemon is banned when it comes to discussions like this, but it is an interesting thought exercise. Say we ban the 3 guys being talked about...

I feel bad being one of the first people to post on this since I view myself as not that well versed in the metagame with a mid elo in OU but I would like to share my opinion. Feel free to take it with a grain of salt as I'm in and out of OU. Honestly, I think it might make more sense to...

Ok! Would you be interested in help constructing some sets for FFA Randoms? I'm not on the council at all lol but I also assume this isnt on the top of your priority list, and I play the tier a good amount at least. Definitely understand if its a no cuz im just some rando lol, but also if you...

Context: Free for all Randoms Not sure if this is the best place to bring this up but didnt see another thread for FFA battles. For now, I'll assume here. Toxic Spikes are too game warping in Free for all randoms. FFA (not randoms) has already banned this move since they see its power. The...

Hey dk if this is the place to ask about FFA Random battles, if not please guide me to the right location. My big question is can we ban t-spikes there too lmao. I see its banned in base FFA so clearly we see its broken but getting a team with no grounded poison vs tspikes is very very painful...

Took a break, and Im so happy to see things I've complained about finally got the boot or are getting looked at again. Ive hated Zama for ages and am so glad people re-wised up on Volcarona. I'm convinced a balanced gen 9 OU is like some sort of mythical amulet that only questionably exists. I...

I'm saying in my initial post that its difficult to fully discuss and debate Archaludon's brokenness without talking about rain in general. Its only logical with Archaludon being broken only in a certain core that it would make others wonder if its Archaludon that is the primary problem. I think...

Im not picking any suspects, I'm discussing the pokemon that obviously revolve around this ban. Can we not discuss whether one part of a core is broken or not just because we aren't on council?? What is this elitism? "Its not our job" We don't have a job; we're the public. We are free to discuss...

Preface: I know Finch and others have warned about deleting posts that talk about other suspects rather than Archaludon. Its almost necessary though to talk about the other pokemon/playstyles in this case since the whole issue with Archaludon is not Archaludon alone but specifically Archaludon...

Reading through all the posts and I think there are a good number of well constructed posts. A few comments: I think NJNP's initial post and CTC's post are both great and intelligent; I almost agree with both despite them saying opposite things. I think that there is a lot of broken stuff that...

To add to this Dozo also eats Quaquavals lunch, it has a middling speed stat, also threatened by alomomola, and as a setup sweeper is super threatened by Raging Bolt/Zamazenta/Rillaboom and is outsped by Pult (if adamant) and the Booster Bros at +1 speed. Definitely a viable pokemon but I was...

Guys what if they made a move that consistently removes hazards and give it to viable pokemon like Zapdos/Landorus/Torn/Rotom/Latis. We could call it something like Befog idk. Do you think this would be broken lmk just theorymoning over here..

Sorry if this is a bit of a one-liner but seeing people able to make Articuno of all things work in OU functionally well is one of the best thing's I've seen out of this board. If anyone tries this core, please send me your replays I need to see how well this works.

I also wouldn't be opposed to looking at Volc. I think that thing can be dumb in quite a lot of matches and lowkey broken. The one thing that sets it apart from Gouging Fire is protosynthesis can give Gouging Fire some of that setup without having to put in the work. But I dont really like...
