Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Firstly, I suggest you read posts in this thread like ausma's that answer your question way better than I could, but I'll attempt to give my take after finishing reqs this morning. I'll also be focusing primarily on the dd sets. I don't think band/support dnite or band/scarf/boots moon are...
Don’t know if this is already popular consensus but wisp feels borderline mandatory on darkrai rn. It punishes all the bulky physical attackers that try to set up on it like moon and tera’d dnite, and is just such a safe progress maker in general. Nasty plot with dark and ice coverage is already...
I'm further from a good player but I personally think Gliscor is fine rn. It's true that there aren't a plethora of mons that check both Gliscor sets, but that doesn't really mean anything. It's only an issue if by guessing wrong and giving away a free turn, you potentially immediately lose the...
Just bumping this really quick because I need more responses! The survey is just 2 questions about OU. If you filled out the first one I posted (the one I’m not replying to) please fill this one out too if you can, I had to redo it. Thanks!

I haven’t used lorb much so I can’t compare it to that, but boots AoA zama feels by far the most consistent. Sure it has worse matchups into physical attackers, but it still beats most of them, and in return it threatens far more of the tier offensively. Stab CC off of 130 attack is monstrous...
That would be a small issue huh. I assumed when I copied the form it would save the settings but I guess not.
Should work now, thanks for the heads up.

So I mayyyy have made a mistake...
Redoing the survey, the questions are the same but I ask for exact ELO instead of an ELO range. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks to everyone for filling this out!

EDIT: Closed the survey, thank you everyone who took the...
Could a clause limiting Z-moves only to mons that can use them in game be considered? It’s similar to how mons after gen 7 can’t use hidden power in natdex despite it being a universal tm. New pokemon are designed around not having access to these removed things. I guarantee you regieleki and...
Yeah that is what I plan on doing, it’ll just take some time to go through the google sheet. As far as I know there’s no way to automatically sort the data like that, although I could be wrong.
Sorry for misrepresenting your original post. Often that argument comes from people who don’t care about or like the tier at all and are just doom posting for no reason. There’s a difference between disliking a couple mons in the tier and disliking the core foundation of the tier (which is fine...
In 2024, 4 mons were suspected without being banned. Gliscor got a 57% ban vote. Kyurem got 59% and 58% ban votes. All of these could have been banned if just a handful more people got reqs or if the ban side convinced more voters in the suspect thread. Gouging Fire, the only mon that didn’t...
If it was a more thorough survey adding those options would be a good idea, but with such a small sample size (>100 currently) I thought just having the broad teamstyles was ok. Most gimmicky/niche styles can comfortably fall under one of the main 4. Webs and TR are HO, and semistall can go in...

Hello all! I have a small project that involves collecting data so I would appreciate people filling this survey out. It's only 2 questions long and about gen 9 ou. Thanks!
