This is a really useful set I've run on a few sun teams Ceruledge @ Assault Vest Ability: Flash Fire Tera Type: Fairy EVs: 252 Atk / 116 SpD / 140 Spe Adamant Nature - Bitter Blade - Shadow Sneak - Poltergeist - Solar Blade AV Ceru helps sun with some key matchups, especially...

I've been using Sylv throughout SV and while as you mentioned it's a really solid Kyurem check, from using it on the ladder it can feel a bit inconsistent at the moment. Other than the obvious freeze procs which limit any Kyurem check, there are two main things holding it back rn. The first is...

I've been playing a lot with defensive Gholdengo and I have found that covert cloak is by far my preferred item. In early SV OU, covert cloak was mainly seen as an anti-garg tool but I've found it's use extends well past Garganacle. Specifically on Ghold, it allows it to reliably check zama by...

I wanted to share an underrated Gouging Fire set I cooked up during the Volcarona suspect. All of the GFires I've seen on the ladder for the last few months are either fast offensive DD or bulky DD breaking swipe, however, I haven't seen anyone else making use of GFires exceptional bulk...

DLC2 SV has been the most fun I've had since XY. This is definitely the best iteration of the meta since release and I've been having a good time playing balance, semi-stall, and bulky offense. I wanted to talk about 2 underrated mons I've seen little to any discussion about Sylveon @...

Definitely support Mamoswine moving up from B- to B. His LO attacker set is really unprepared for atm and hits like a truck with icicle crash and earthquake. Mamo can revenge kill popular mons like lando, thundy, and torn-t with ice shard along with the super popular Volcanion with earthquake...

Yeah Sylveon can hurt it's counters but it is very prediction based as you stated. More often then not Sylv is just gonna fire off Hyper voice because the opportunity cost of misprediction is pretty harsh on it. Sylv has no recover so taking a hit, whether it be on a switch in or not is killer...

SInce I saw Lando-T getting mentioned Id like to bring this up... An issue I would like to mention in regards to ranking is how important glue is for teams in the metagame. Lando-T and Clefable are two incredible pokemon that can act as glue during teambuilding. They both are great at...

Off-topic from the suspect discussion but, One clear thing that has stuck out to after the greninja ban is the solidification speed tiers. When greninja was still in ou, so many players were using subpar scarf sets or relying on ridiculously fast new megas like Sceptile or Lopunny. This created...

Okay I'm not sure if this has gotten much attention but I'd like to see Dragalge rise to B-. Yeah its specs set hits incredibly hard but another really underrated set is a bulky toxic spikes set. It honestly has a lot more bulk than anticipated and functions well with other defensive pokemon...

Okay well after some testing and I've found my favorite iteration to be this: ++ If you're gearing towards a more offensive build another option is AV Azumarill, but overall I'd say rotom-w is the best teammate. Not only is it less worried about switching to scalds (which can be horrifying for...

To prevent it from being absolutely stomped by waters i've mostly been using AV Raikou. However I didn't put him in the core because Lando-T would literally roll over it. A possible answer could be Rotom-W so i'll test it this week and find out. Thanks!

Okay ArchPhantom posted a core earlier that somewhat inspired this one: + This core absolutely dismantles stall and does well against balance. What threats Char-Y doesnt destroy (Namely Chansey, Lati@s, or creselia), Heatran can trap and take out. While both pokemon may at first appear to have...

I'm not sure if you understand the point he's trying to make. With base 75 SpA Serperior is doing jack to anything that resist it. Even at +2 some of serp's coverage moves aren't going to be OHKOing. Yeah it has a great speed tier and access to glare but that still doesn't compensate for its...

Okay well since the frog is gone I have a nomination I've been wanting to do since the suspect ladder. Starmie B+ to A- Sitting at the 115 speed tier Starmie is one of the most viable greninja replacements as it outspeeds so many mons who compete at the 110 level. While it does not hit as hard...
