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.
ADV bros just be posting anything these days
Ultimately, if Dugtrio was really *that* problematic he'd probably have been dealt with by now. We can't just ban dudes on the premise of "x UUBL pokemon would be so fire" because chances are they'd just lose to a different top tier instead. I...
Sometimes I think about how all the johto starters are just unequivocally worse versions of a different starter and it keeps me up at night. How do feraligatr and swampert have the same bst but swampert still wins in almost every category it's not right (rhetorical question). Typhlosion is just...
This feels kind of random to bring up. Is sleep stupid and broken? For sure! We have known this! It's hardly a grand revelation we had as a collective one day. The status that incapacitates you is busted? Say it ain't so. I'll make my position clear right now so you can scroll past my post...
Is rest gyarados+steelix still a viable defensive core, or has steelix been phased out in favor of an actually good pokemon? I've been trying to use it but it feels like it just switches into stuff and then doesn't actually do anything beyond that lol
chillax, I'm not good or patient enough to get reqs. I also acknowledged that it could still be broken even after a hypothetical gholdengo ban. I don't think me specifically picking between a 3 or a 4 is going to change the outcome of a gliscor suspect. For your sake, I will officially bump it...
Might as well post my own thoughts. I've got nothing better to do
:kingambit: 4/5: If there's any pokemon to fight one billion lions, I'd place my bets into this one. Imagine 1015 fallen allies. Jokes aside, this guy's a real ass. I don't think it's a brave statement to say almost nobody likes...
Despite what someone said like two seconds ago, I've been having a good time using a gimmicky amoongus set. It's completely normal except you have worry seed for the sole purpose of trolling gliscor. Speaking of which, I threw ice fang on gliscor and have had a decent amount of success with it...
Ursaluna and gliscor kicking everyone down to UU is fucked up and blissey being OU is wrong. Also how does anyone retain their sanity trying to get reqs. I'm using a team that the person who made it said "yeah this kinda auto loses to unaware clef but thankfully nobody uses that" and I've now...
Haven't seen much talk about Greninja, but I think it has a lot of potential right now. I've been using it a lot lately and have had some decent success. Specifically with everyone's favorite "trying to be different" set, mixed protean (yippee!).

As for my votes...
Hearthflame is a 5. That pokemon is crazy, don't need to elaborate. Bro just wins games on its own and can even go full zacian beast mode if it wants to. Nothing really takes hits from this well besides shit like tera fire corviknight and general rule of thumb if you have to...
What did Zamazenta do off goat he's keeping our nation together.
Also I just wanna chip in on Darkrai again. Please don't. Gen 9 already has its hands full with threats out the ass, we don't need to add another threat just for kicks. What value does Darkrai provide other than being another big...
Has anyone tried sinestcha yet? I didn't read the first few pages but I think it might be a good meme. In particular I found a very stupid way to """"""""""""""""beat"""""""""""""""" ogerpon with it. The ability shield, of course!
