:spectrier: the horse is so fun https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9natureswap-2276822313 On another note- a stupid tech that I’ve been running do NOT let me into the kitchen

azu is banned

Shoutout to Pipotchi you are a real one ALSO shoutout to the one singular person on ladder (other than me) running moltres-g. Idk if their set was as gimmicky as mine cause I ohko'd it with a crit ice spinner from tusk (and I sadly don't remember their name) but you are also a real one. If for...

I wholeheartedly agree with this. No more guessing if something is aggressive or passive, physical or special, physdef or spdef. I think that this would be very positive for the health of the tier. AND it would make tera feel even more balanced imo :)

^ Absolutely agree with this- banning the generational gimmick across the board is crazy (disregarding dynamax cause that was awful). ^ Imho tera is not remotely broken in Nature Swap. The very nature of the OM means that most mons are unpredictable and variable (is that tusk a glass cannon or...

The bans aren’t implemented yet.

Found out about this metagame today and have been having a blast with it. Initial thoughts from a below-average player:

Braviary-H is one of the biggest threats in this tier as has been said time and time again by players who are much better at the game than me. However IMO it has a lot of flexibility. The item choice is obvious and Psychic + Hurricane are auto includes, but what about the EV spread / nature or...

252+ Atk Araquanid First Impression vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Ogerpon-Wellspring: 252-296 (83.7 - 98.3%) -- 75% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock One argument for physical sets over special on Wet Shelob™️. Can snipe kills on slightly damaged waterpons. Other than that special is probably better lol.

DLC2 is upon us. Oh the horrors of a fresh set of moves and mons. After about 30 minutes of random testing these are some of my findings. 1: Araquanid with priority is TERRIFYING. I’ve been using this physical set I cooked up but I’ve seen other people on ladder run Tail Glow sets (don’t...

Ah yes, the Death Star, famously OHKO’d by Luke Skywalker’s proton torpedo Zen Headbutt. But more seriously, Tera Dark fixes that glaring issue (and also adds a damage boost if you run Lash Out over Acrobatics). Additionally, psychic just isn’t a very common or very good attacking type (one of...

Friends, Romans, country roads take me home, I am back in the kitchen following a brief hiatus and I might be on to something for once. Unburden Sneasler is great in OU (Sneasler flung its Big Nugget!) and so I thought I’d see how it does down here. And boy howdy have I been terrorizing low...

i’m so hyped for mamoswine in pokebilities. I’ve been having a ton of fun with it over in STABmons (loaded dice bone rush go brrr) and i’ve found that tera grass works really well for a few reasons. first and foremost, thick fat makes it work really well defensively. secondly, giving it stab on...

this genuinely looks like so much fun I’m using this rn. sash lead is genius- it’s almost impossible to get a tail glow done before you get sniped so that will help a TON. tera ground is great offensively and defensively. what a perfect set. thank you!!!
