Hey, could anyone expand on the "minimal speculation this pet mod requires"? I am by no means questioning the decision, I'm just curious, since it feels like this decision came out of nowhere. I'm not a fan of adding too much custom stuff myself, but I still feel like there are some few, maybe...

The problem with this meta is the whole premise of it. The pool of pokemon and items is too limited. There will never be singles of just ZA dex. By the time the new megas arrive to Champions/Gen 10, there will be more pokemon (and items) to use. So why limit it to only ZA pokemon? I believe the...

Also, I don't think everything should be changed for the sake of changing, Tough Claws was already perfectly fine on Barbaracle, Skill Link seems unfitting and a downgrade

Since we are allowing combined abilities (Chesnaught) I believe the same should be done for Eelektross. Some new ability that combines Levitate with either Electric Surge or Transistor. Not mentioning Surge Surfer because I don't think we have any setters (though levitate+surge surfer would be...

Why do all OMs have to ban tera? Could we at least try to justify it a bit? What makes Gen 9 unique is tera, we'll be able to have endless Nature Swap in Gens 10+ without tera, I think it's great to be able to explore what could be done with tera + being able to swap a stat

You can EV for speed boost in Sun, with Specs and Tera Water and 2hko most of the tier. So pretty similar to Palafin with wave crash except that you take huge recoil in exchange for a bit more damage. And ofc, Wake is way faster And just like Palafin can predict CC Ogerpon, Wake can Draco...

I'd like to ask something, from my complete low 1500-1600 ladder ignorance: is Rain good atm? Are weather teams unhealthy for the meta and deserve to stay bad? I've always really loved and enjoyed running weather teams. Sun seems to be great this generation with the new Proto mons, and snow...

I agree on 1 and 4. But it DEFINITELY doesn't have the defenses of dondozo (+ no Unaware) and 4mss isn't the same as set versatility. Yes, Palafin would love to run CC, Ice Punch, Acrobatics, Wave Crash, Boomburst, Encore, etc but he often can only run 1 of those

So we are just ignoring that Palafin has Zero to Hero form activated? Yes, you can still add Choice Band on top of it, just like you could with most of those mons in there - most are also boosting solely from their ability (except waterpon). I'd even argue that stuff like Rilla or Kingambit have...

I find it pretty funny how you are assuming that having only 1-2 weeks of suspect will make people vote unban instead of ban. I'm very confident that, if anything, letting OU have Palafin for longer (let's say 1-2 months) would make LESS people want him banned. People would finally understand...

And when the community votes something, they usually have a good reason for doing so aswell. Talking about fairness, it's unfair that bans require 60%+ votes to go through, but to unban a Pokémon that was automatically banned without the opinion of the community, 50%+ is enough to keep it...

How exactly does Dondozo lose to Palafin? I've had this matchup a few times, Bulk Up Palafin ALWAYS loses to dozo even with taunt, Drain simply never heals enough. Only chance to beat Dozo is Tera Water Band in Rain, which requires setup, commit Tera and lose like 70% hp in recoil from Wave...

I spend my only 8 likes on Species Clause suspect test for OU

Thank you, I understand. However, I find it a bit counterintuitive that a meta that requires less changes (or even none) has to go through a more strict process to even be considered. The first conclusion that comes to my mind now is that I should force a change in the mechanics that is not...

Hello, this is not an OM submission (yet), but rather a question related to it, because I've been searching everywhere and got no answer. I want to make sure my idea hasn't been suggested/rejected before. Most simple mechanic changes have been explored yet but, for some reason, there's one that...
