Drill is BACK to SAVE OU. Also Tusk getting temper flare as stated earlier makes it more consistent into Dengo.

Honestly, Hidden Power was a pretty unhealthy move too IMO and I'm glad it got dexited. Even with low power, free coverage is kinda stupid.

At what point would it be possible to look at Spikes as a whole? I really genuinely believe that the million spikes setters we have ae the problem, but I understand that we ban pokemon first so I don't think it should be looked at now, but at the same time Spikes have been a problem in the tier...

This doesn't really fix it on ladder, unfortunately, and tournament play is not the only form of play we need to worry about. The cart accuracy rule isnt because Smogon doesn't want to fix problems, it's because the more you modify cart mechanics the less you're actually playing SV. Frankly...

My guess is its either Bloodmoom or ADV Skarm 2. Hoping its the former tbh. I know Gliscor can be annoying but I like it so I'm biased towards it.

People have been saying Chomp will drop since Home dropped and it hasn't happened. Now in DLC1 chomp has Scale Shot again for SD sets. It ain't happening. Chomp is just too versatile, when one set loses steam it can just swap to a new set. TankChomp, SD Chomp, and ChainChomp are all going to be...

I didnt clarify well, but I more meant special ice moves, and honestly special attacks in general. Ting-Lu is insanely specially bulky while also being physically bulky while Gliscor, even with spdef investment, can't really keep up with the special attackers of OU.

Ting-Lu still has a lot going for it that Gliscor doesn't. For as good as Gliscor's bulk is, Ting-Lu's is actually absurd on both the physical and special side. Ground-Dark typing is probably worse overall, but it does mean it doesn't instantly die to any ice type attack and can even tank a few...

It takes 2 minutes to fill out the survey lol. If you have such disdain for this "unsupported game" I'm not sure why you even care what goes on in Smogon 6v6 lol. Battle Stadium Singles, VGC, and Draft are all right there and the former two are also Game Freak supported so I'd suggest having...

Its so awesome that they made ADV Skarm for Gen 9! Seriously, I don't think Gliscor is banworthy but its pretty ridiculous. No reliable recovery yet it never dies, is a spiking machine, is spike immune itself and barely has to worry about stealth rock. The only thing its really missing that ADV...

The survey results didn't include the scores for Darkrai and Urshifu, which is disappointing. If Finch is still around, it'd be cool if we could get some insight into why those scores weren't included in the survey post.

The veil teams Bax was abusing can just straight up invalidate those calcs.

Can we get an idea of when Survey results are going to be posted? I'm eager to see what results everything got, especially Darkrai.

I have to say I'm pretty confused as to why Darkshifu was put on the survey for a potential retest. I've seen nobody talk about it as if it actually has potential to not be completely busted in OU, unlike Darkrai or even Skymin. Have there been people pushing for it that I just haven't seen in...

While I personally think Bax is the problem child right now, I think there's a lot that could make ATales specifically too good for OU in a way most other screens setters aren't. Being able to save a turn setting up is obviously a boon vs setters like Pult and Grimmsnarl, but unlike Abomasnow it...
