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.
I’m with you that it’s a bit over saturated, and I agree something like sword of ruin or intrepid sword could be better alternatives for both usability and diversity
I don’t disagree but 1. It totally could have tough claws based on its design 2. Would see a marginal at best damage increase from using sharpness night slash over knock 3. What absol needs is either better coverage or a way to boost its useful coverage which sharpness wouldn’t do. I think it’s...

I'd like to invite discussion a possible further development in the metagame I've surmised (mid ladder player take with massive grain of salt) with the introduction of the one and only Great Neck. Countless arguments have taken place on this forum and in other places about the power level of a...
This really bringing a tear to my eye rn. Look at this crew you've got 6 mons all released in the past 4 years defending the dragon types honor, and then you've got that smug bastard Kyurem from gen 5 in the corner looking like he knows he's broken. You've got the entire paradox legendary dog...
