Thoughts on Rillaboom

With Trademarked coming to a close, here are 3 teams that I used over the course of this month. Each of these teams will probably be illegal or outdated in the new meta whenever this OM comes back, but they should at least serve as billboards of what was happening during each "patch."...

Forcing choiced mons to perform an extra move right before they attack cancels whatever move they were going to use that turn unless it's coincidentally the same move as the extra one they were given. You can see this in standard play by having a mon outspeed a choiced Oricorio and click a...

1.) Still no response? 2.) Update on the "Smeargle Imprison ™ + Transform" strategy while playing around with imprison + rage fist on Smeargle, I discovered that rage fist actually has its hit counter copied by transform https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9trademarked-2372759972. Not sure...

- :blobpex:Two more entries to the Skill Swap™ Argument in images below (I'm anti-ban btw) :blobpex:: To avoid this post being a nothing burger: - :unown-question: Incoming FAQ :unown-question:: Here's the obligatory "Why is Instruct ™ on the banlist, btw?" question (I don't see anyone else...

In retrospect, I should've replied to Clas rather than you. The main reason I'm pushing the fact that this isn't a bug is because that's why it was quickbanned (quickstricted? Idk the term) so easily. That being said, I don't think "it's niche so nobody will care if its gone" is ever a good...

This is hardly a bug. That Wake was clearly holding specs. Forcing choiced mons to perform an extra move right before they attack cancels whatever move they were going to use that turn unless it's coincidentally the same move as the extra one they were given. You can see this in standard play...

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9sharedpower-2316141429 Shared power seems fundamentally broken rn. I had two back to back games of harvest never activating. First time I chalked it up to bad luck since I use no sun, but now I noticed that unnerve also does not seem to share. OM banlist...

:Serperior:-:Rillaboom:-:Hawlucha:-:Great_Tusk:-:Roaring_Moon:-:Heatran: Not sure if this counts as peaking #1 or #2, but I've had a lot of fun figuring out this metagame. Endeavor obviously wasn't going to be around forever, but for most of my climb I didn't rely on it all that much (I didn't...

PSA: For OMs like this one and fortemons that can let functionally fainted mons continue to attack, the move "endeavor" can essentially become a 100% accuracy, sturdy ignoring, one time use guillotine under the right circumstances. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9foresighters-2071331431...

:Zangoose:-:Conkeldurr:-:ambipom:-:lycanroc-dusk:-:Shiftry:-:decidueye-hisui: (https://pokepast.es/8178a437763f5206) Normally, I'd ladder to the 1600s or higher to make sure I was actually cooking something good before I put it out. Sadly the OM's ticket for this month has finally expired, I...

Did we forgot to unban Regieleki with the ban of Tera? Was looking for fast Pokémon and noticed this

Topping the ladder with my Prankster bond team was fun while it lasted. Even got a few cool uses of Torment support (:Klefki:) alongside taunts (:Lycanroc-Midnight:), destiny bonds (:delibird:, :gallade:, :Houndstone:), encores (:Pawmot:), tricked scarfs (:Houndstone:), and even occasional tera...
