  1. Announcement NP: We Want a Rock - OU Suspect Test (Damp Rock Banned)

    Is there a way for us to check our COIL values?
  2. Announcement NP: We Want a Rock - OU Suspect Test (Damp Rock Banned)

    I'm still struggling to get recs, so I hope that a less experienced voice won't come across as ignorant. Tl;DR - Banning damp rock does hit rain pretty hard, but it isn't going to make it less oppressive to play against for most teams. I'm inclined to agree that its the breakers that make rain...
  3. Announcement NP: We Want a Rock - OU Suspect Test (Damp Rock Banned)

    Even trying to get recs now, I'd say half of the teams that I'm facing are rain teams. I don't imagine I'll be able to make them on this account, I'm not sure how many wins it takes to get to 2800 (this is my first time participating in a suspect test). It's so hard to find good answers to the...
  4. Metagame Champions OU Metagame Discussion

    Hey man, I think it might have been me you played against. I've seen you on the ladder a couple of times. I've tried a few different sets to get around archaludon but its honestly so difficult to answer. At the moment, I'm running Excadrill and Annihilape, who have a bit of offensive pressure...

    What do you guys think of Serperior? I've seen people playing it on the ladder as a support pokemon, the classic 'sub/seed' style for which it earned its fame, but I've been using mine as a scarf attacker and have so far found a lot of success with it: Serperior @ Choice Scarf Ability...
  6. Metagame Champions OU Metagame Discussion

    I can second how important it is to build around MNaut. I really like it, but its got its fair share of weaknesses that require a lot of time in the builder. Most sets end up running one attack, which is usually always body press, so he's completely fodder when it comes to Annihilape and...

    Just finished my 219 turn stall v stall matchup feeling blessed 100 100 100
  8. Metagame Champions OU Metagame Discussion

    I don't know where you got the impression that I thought Annihilape was worse into stall than any of the pokemon I listed, since I specifically said I wasn't contending its role as a top tier stall breaker. I was making a pretty simple statement, which was that Annihilape was not the only...
  9. Metagame Champions OU Metagame Discussion

    I hope I'm not coming across as rude, that's certainly not my intention. I think I've failed to communicate my thoughts to you. I'll give it another go, please be patient with me. You seem to take issue with the idea that there are pokemon who are better than annihilape at breaking stall. What...
  10. Metagame Champions OU Metagame Discussion

    I disagree that Annihilape must be preserved to prevent stall from becoming dominant. Your given reason is that Annihilape is 'one of the only pokemon who can reliably set up on these structures,' but I don't think that's true. The main forms of attrition damage are: - Hazards, which Annihilape...
  11. Metagame Champions OU Metagame Discussion

    I've reached number 88 on the ladder (currently very low but I have proof of it if needed), and did so trying to run defensive hazard stack. I think that the meta-game is really fun, as I said before, but I do have some qualms. Re: Rain, I've seen a lot of people saying that it doesn't need as...
  12. Metagame Champions OU Metagame Discussion

    I've really been solidifying my opinions on this mete game over the last couple of days. I've gotten as high as rank 88 on the ladder, and have since gone on a generational fall-off. But, I want to say, I think the people running this meta have done a really good job so far.
