Just getting back into mons. Made this Hisuian Arcanine Balance/Bulky Offense. How bad is this? https://pokepast.es/f3385b46171fe3e0

https://pokepast.es/4953cb7efcba580f BO made around an offensive utility Iron Moth set. It also runs a RK Scarf Meowscarada, which has good attributes (Such as being a great Palafin check, resisting Sucker Punch, and access to Trick to disrupt Stall and setup mons). Thought you might like this...

So, I do believe this is my first upload in this thread. I wanted to post a Scizor team but, alas, I was a day late Regardless, here is the Lele team I came up with!!!!! Lele-Magnezone Double Terrain Bulky Offense The idea of this team is to utilize the fabled breaking power of Specs Lele...

Damn, came back too late to submit my own team... Oh well. A>D>F>all of the others

So, I like this team quite a bit but do have some thoughts: 1. Superpower Ttar is pretty heat, but I believe Toxic already helps against Darks. Not running Earthquake makes the Magearna matchup much harder, as it allows it to come in without much to do about it. You could alternatively run...

I debated which team I would like to get reviewed for a while, but I am liking this one so far so I decided to post it first. Here is the team: (Ignore nicks, habit of mine to use them) The team is based off of Dragapult. I decided on the Hex set since it seemed the best one in the meta...

I like the creativity with Torn here and it definitely has promise, but I do have 2 points I'd like to address: 1. Torn can be run on any team it wants, its that good of a mon. But the oppotunity cost for it not running Rain is pretty high in my opinion. 100% acc Hurricanes and Rain-Boosted...

1. What surprised you the most from these stats? I think a few things surprised me, but seeing Blaziken nearly drop is... Surreal to me, despite knowing it isn't the best right now. Honestly, I know it has flaws but think it may be a bit underexplored and has some potential sets, like CB, worth...

On top of this, Nidoking isn't able to just laugh Blissey off the way Lando-I did. Blissey is generally a hard check to Nidoking, as its unlikely to fit coverage for it without a huge detriment

I do agree with the sentiment here that the broken shit in OU needs to leave before we can do a proper test to Zama. Thing is, broken mons really depend on the people you ask. Thankfully, most of us, including the council, wants Zygarde and Kyurem Black gone (which makes one wonder why it isn't...

That is true, but its because Base Garchomp is OU and you cannot run Mega Garchomp without first running a Garchomp. Zamazenta does not have that restriction, but I still think the Mega analogy helps set a precedent, as non-Megas can be tiered bellow the Mega counterparts.

I think you're making an honest mistake in this assesment. Not being aggressive, but rather direct. Yes, both mons have a huge BST. This is expected and likely part of the reason the were put in Ubers from the start, along with being cover legendaries. That said, its not really the Base stat...

You've gotten a few similar response, but I feel like I should pitch in too. Yes, Smogon dislikes complex bans and you are right in pointing out how these tend to be exceptions rather than the rule, but there is precedent to them. The Silvally case mentioned above is a comparable example, as...

While I see your point and I myself mentioned that due to its bulk it may only need Howl or Work Up to be busted, I think there's a few things you are neglecting here. 1. It has no reliable recovery, so even if it takes 1 hit from Attacks that would destroy other mons weak to them, its left...

While it is true that it has 4mss, giving niche-at-best answers to it, like Volcarona or Gyarados, is not the best way to get the point across, imo.
