    Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion v2 [Usage Stats in post #581]

    Yeah I definitely agree, I feel forced to run Rotom-Heat or Rotom-Wash on pretty much every team, along with a Choice Scarfer that is faster than Base 95 which really restricts your options to things like Hydreigon or Cinderace, when there are potentially so many other interesting ones that...

    Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion v2 [Usage Stats in post #581]

    If you're trying to hit Steel and Dark-types, I don't see why you're not running a Fighting-type move like Close Combat. Seems much more useful to me than two moves that have a chance of missing. Play Rough and Blaze Kick just seem so subpar as coverage options for a Pokemon like Mew that has...

    Specs Toxtricity is definitely the most viable set right now. It's a powerful wallbreaker that has very few switch-ins, and the switch-ins it does have can be predicted. For example, the common Ground-types that are able to switch into Overdrive or Volt Switch will still take a ton of damage...

    SS OU TRAFFIC COPS - A hyper offense team

    Of course, anytime! In regards to switches into Excadrill, I think that due to the style of the team it's usually optimal to just put enough pressure onto your opponent where they simply cannot find an opportunity to Rapid Spin. Predicting correctly and playing super aggressively with a good...

    SS OU TRAFFIC COPS - A hyper offense team

    Air Balloon is really subpar on Dragapult. It doesn't really do anything except allow you to switch into Excadrill's Earthquake, but you already stated that you prefer not to switch that much with this team. Also, once popped, Dragapult is effectively item-less. A much better set would be Choice...

    SS OU My first team ever, would like help

    So one thing I've noticed is that that your team is half-Hyper Offense, half-random other stuff, which is usually not the best team structure. I would personally recommend fully committing to Hyper Offense and having a clear, defined win condition(s) and team support for those win conditions...

    Resource SwSh OU Bazaar

    For real though, after Gengar was absolutely awful in Gen 7 OU I'm so happy that Gengar is one of the most threatening offensive mons from past gens now. Nasty Plot + Life Orb is super strong, and completely rips through so many defensive cores (an example is the popular Corviknight + G-Corsola...

    SM OU Mega-Gyarados and SG-Magearna, any thoughts?

    Cool team! Gyarados is my favorite mega to use competitively and I have a lot of experience with it so I'd like to just offer my two cents. Substitute is absolutely mandatory on Mega Gyarados. It allows you to stop Will-o-Wisp and Toxic, and also prevents burns from Scald and Lava Plume, which...

    SM OU SupportKoko Hyper Offense (ft. Sceptile, Blacephalon, and M-Gyarados) [Peak ~1600 Elo]

    Hey guys I actually made a half-decent team this time so I decided that I would share it and possibly find some possible improvements. Would love feedback, and thank you in advance for your time! So to start off my friend and I decided that we wanted to take a low-tier Pokemon and try to make...

    Monotype Triple-Sweeper Monosteel [Peak 1550+ Elo]

    Thanks for the suggestions! I definitely feel more confident taking on stall cores now. I'll try out your suggestions right now :)

    Monotype Triple-Sweeper Monosteel [Peak 1550+ Elo]

    Hi guys, this is my first RMT so I'd really appreciate any feedback! So, to start this off I wanted to build a Steel team that was not overly reliant on stalling. I'm not patient enough for that playstyle and while I don't mind facing it, I hate playing stall myself. I'm okay with playing...
