Some thoughts on a few mons: :Clefable: I've gotta apologize to this mon. I thought for the longest time it was mid, but on the right structure that's able to support it, its truly exceptional. Specifically most CM variants, because that set is crazy. A set I've been trying out is Wish / Protect...

:Moltres: -> B+ Rank This mon is decentish, but becoming deadweight when it gets Knocked Off is such a debilitating drawback. Potentially threatening a burn isn't enough in this meta where reliability is a concern imo. Not helping matters is the massive taunt epicdemic that has taken over...

Actually, that's rather interesting. I will admit I dismissed sunless wake as a bit of a fraud because it hits like a wet noodle, but its combination of traits certainly has some appeal. Scald, Knock Off, and STAB Draco are all pretty nice. Interestingly, Modest Wake hits the same speed tier as...

I really wanna love Keldeo. Mon has access to a lot of nice tools like Taunt, strong STABs into common rockers like Glimmora or Lando-T, a great speed tier, Vacuum Wave to pick of Various foes, and Flip Turn. Namely, its MUs into Great Tusk and Kingambit are great, its Darkrai / Weavile MU isn't...

Fun: 6 Competitive: 7 :Dragonite: 3 :Kyurem: 2 :Ogerpon-Wellspring: 2 :Kingambit: 1 Tera Blast: 5 Light Clay: 5 Write-ins: :Ting-Lu: :Alomomola: :Garganacl: :Ceruledge:

I don't play the tier much anymore so take what I say w/ a grain of salt, but fwiw, a lot of that random tech is grounds for more experimentation, no? Something like random Z-move Mew, or Power Gem Heatran, or even Xurk probably has some quality at a higher level that might make them at least...

Rain's weaknesses are more with the fat mons than Ogerpon-W. Ogerpon-W's presence definitely doesn't help, but the biggest threats to Rain from my exp were Garg, Gking, Mola, Gambit, Dragonite, and Zamazenta (you usually need to Tera a mon to beat it from what I've played). Mola protect stalling...

Awesome team - its very creative. Tera Steel Specs Hydreigon is pretty underrated for sure. I used it for a bit on a shittier team and did notice that its speed tier and defensive qualities are pretty nice - its got a nice MU into Gholdengo, Kyurem, and Gambit, and can easily pressure some other...

Gonna get laugh reacted for this, but at this stage I think I would like Mola gone. Both AV and the standard wishtect shit have become cancerous to deal with, especially since Wellspring isn't even a great long-term check (hazards just outlast it, Mola has Tickle to soften Wellspring's blow...

Been loving Psychic Landorus-T. This has been a thing for a while, but I just wanted to give it a shoutout again since it feels like it isn't talked about or used much. Psychic is a really nice move for chunking both Great Tusk and Zamazenta for decent damage in one slot while dealing...
