I don't know about you guys, but I actually find the circumstances behind the Palafin suspect a bit suspicious

Maybe it's time that I mention the way that I approached this issue, being to look a potential checks for the problematic mons and then wonder to myself "But why are they not working as a check"?

Also I can't believe you all started to talk about Ceaseless Edge for a bit and then just stopped, because you were literally right there and about to find out who is the real culprit behind the Hazard problem

Welp I guess it's time for me to come out of lurking to help shed the light on what is causing not just the Hazard situation, but the predominance of Offense too, because clearly unbanning Palafin is going to potentially make those two problems more worse And speaking of Palalfin, did you guys...

Not to put a one-liner, but don't Bronzong and Copperajah like outspeed 3 Magnet Pull users? Also I'm pretty sure Copperajah learns Curse, so it can potentially brute force it's way through the Magnet Pull mons and pop their Air Balloon before they can do anything

Speaking of cores featuring Abomasnow, I have the feeling that Glaceon might also be pretty good on those team comps since it has Freeze-Dry to potentially froce Dondozo out along with the other bulky Waters, which some mons would definitively enjoy to snowball even easier.

This metagame surely brings up some interesting possibilities, though I do have a pretty relevant question: Will Weather teams see some usage in this unique metagame, and if yes, which Pokemons could abuse of the weathers the most effectively?

Two questions: 1: Do we have anything that can handle Darkrai and/or Hoopa-Unbound? Because they look incredibly scary to switch into in this meta 2: With Aqua Jet and Ice Shard becoming Special, which of the Pokemons that learn them should we keep an eye on?

Have you guys tried Specially Defensive Flash Fire Fire Types with Tera Flying (and by this I mean not just Specially Defensive Heatran) to check Volcarona and see if some results can be achieved? I've been thinking of Kantonian Ninetales, since it speed ties Volcarona and has an impressive...

Overqwil deserves more love and attention on Rain teams. Makes me wonder if any lower tier Pokemon could contribute to an already existing archetype and make it better in a way that no one thought about before.

The mods deteled my post, but the real reson why I underestimated Sunflora is because I checked the calcs against Blissey, and well... 252+ SpA Choice Specs Solar Power Tera Grass Sunflora Solar Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey in Sun: 324-382 (49.6 - 58.5%) -- 37.1% chance to 2HKO Yeah for...

The fact that most of the Slush Rush users (or maybe Ice Body users) are shitmons is actually nuts. Snowslash would be a bit threatening should it get the chance to switch in safely and set up a SD, but is too slow outside of Snow and suffers from those 2 4x weaknesses, and Frosmoth, while not...

Snow looking at this gen's weather war like: Okay on a serious note, does Snow actually have a chance to be used as a playstyle? I mean we've got threats like Kyurem and Weavile who could be good, and some other stuff like Cetitan (Slush Rush Belly Drum Cetitan is an utter menace btw, I got...

Well that post did showcase some hope for Meganium. And now that I think of it, maybe it could help with the Waterpon situation, depending of how often Waterpon runs U-Turn that is

Atleast it's not like Meganium who, even with the potential from the additions to it's movepool, still suck
