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.
I say Tusk falling off a bit is actually a good sign for this meta. It is still a great mon now but there was a time where Tusk was almost mandatory to have on the team. The anti hazard mon HAD to deal not only with hazards but with dengo as well in order not to get overwhelmed. It was also the...
Can confirm. Took a huge break since the GF suspect. Thought that I was gonna get worse for sure but the mentality reset is really refreshing and causes my plays to be much more "clearer", if that makes sense. I highly recommend taking a break . Competitive Pokemon is very much a mentality...
