    Agreed. I'd rather see action on things that are actively harmful to the tier. It's not as if the tier is lacking in offensive hazard removal. And when there's so many unreasonable offensive threats running around it feels like a non starter. I get that the tier's been active for a while, and I...

    I'm seeing if I can make time for the OU Team Up! Tournament, and I'd like to know what amount of time would broach the "minimum activity" rule. I might not be able to play super often, due to living in an unfortunate timezone, so some clarification would be very helpful - or at least a general...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4

    I'm mildly disappointed. I wanted to get reqs, but I've been burnt out of SV, so I wanted to take a break for the sake of my mental health, and I think it was the right call. Volcarona is another sweeper, but it also provides a ton of defensive role compression. You're checking Zama, Iron...

    Why? You do realise that it takes time for that kind of tiering action. Time that could be spent on screens, for example. The hesitation is because it's getting pretty late into the tier, which I usually hate as an argument, but in this case it's hard to put the genie back into the bottle if it...

    I will be very upset if this is a joke

    Haze is cool, but Milo competes heavily with Alo, which gets regenerator. Given both mons lose pretty hard to Ogerpon W it's tricky to justify a pick like Milotic when Alo is definitely the more versatile of the two. Something cool you could do is wrap to force chip on Ogerpon over haze. This...

    Idk why this post was criticised. I can see where the responses are coming from, but I think it can also be agreed that with the advent of tera and immense powercreep checking even standard pokemon can be difficult sometimes, let alone substandard sets. Scouting is a skill, for sure, but gen 9...

    Damn, why does everyone put things in better words than I use?

    What the Lando fraud advocates miss is that it's a ground type stealth rocker with taunt, so it beats Corv. Beating Corv + being a U-turn pivot is a niche that sets it apart from the other ground types, and a pretty good one. Is it a little hard to fit? Sometimes. But it's still a Lando.

    I kind of disagree. We've reached a stagnant point in which offense is overinflated, and people still somehow don't realise Darkrai and friends should be on every team, balance or otherwise. I've reached my limit with this meta. I will admit, I am just some guy. I don't have qualifications...
