I wonder how the guy who first uttered Midrai is feeling right now. Probably suffering from some Bad Dreams.

This man is definitely the AM to Kingambit's existence. This is exactly why Kingambit gotta go. If the word "hate" was etched upon every atom on the known universe, it wouldn't even match one-one billionth of the hate Joltinjoe feels for the Pokemon.

Darkrai effectively has no ability ever since Sleep in general got banned. And due to how volatile OU is, and its mono-Dark typing doesn't give it many opportunities to switch in, Darkrai can have problems setting up, let alone do what it needs to do. And as a special-based dark type, it's...

Ok so now that Volc is gone, again, can you guys please let UU keep Iron Moth? It's bad enough you stole Iron Treads after crapping on it for the first seven months of SV.

I think for how Game Freak programmed the Pokemon games, as long as you were below level 100, it needs at least one increase in level to have the EVs fully accounted for. I'm not sure of that one myself. I know in colosseum, you started in the high 20s and the last shadow pokemon was fought...

So what was all that about "Midrai"? Beat the allegations so badly, caused an entire mechanic to go poof!

It's doing OK. Very physically bulky. Has some good utility options in Parting Shot. Its ability makes it so that any time it poisons, it also confuses. It is OU viable, but having base 88 in every other stat other than defense, poor offensive coverage, and struggling against a certain Pokemon...

I'm up for a quick ban for both, and then a possible suspect test later on. I'm tired of these two jerks committing war crimes since day 1, and the constant coping that people keep making for both. There's TWO BIG reasons why Great Tusk keeps floating around #1 or #2 in usage and people need to...

Maybe we should remove sleep clause entirely, don't ban any sleep moves, and accept deep down that Pokemon will always be an inherently broken game. I think our problem is that we keep staring into the abyss, but then expect the abyss to not stare right back.

OU just hogging every Unawaremon in the dex. OU still with their Skarmory obsession. Why is OU like this?

Terrakion in PU really is Hydrogen Bomb vs. Coughing Baby. Pretty sure it won't even last the hour

Are the tiers updating tomorrow, or are people taking a day break for the New Year?

Shaymin-S is one of three Pokemon(?) to ever receive a 100% ban rate throughout Smogon's entire history. No one ever wants to deal with 60% flinch chance and a 100% chance to drop your special defense by 2 stages off of base 127 sp. attack.

Doesn't Terapagos already receive tera benefits in its Pre-Stellar form anyway? So from a technical standpoint wouldn't it be that Terapagos is the only mon with access to the generational mechanic once Tera gets banned if Tera gets banned?

I've been doing a bunch of testing over the past few weeks in XD as I felt I said all I could about Colosseum's in-game tier list. Plus, despite being the more favorable entry, XD isn't covered as much by the people. I'll admit that while I do find XD objectively better than Colosseum in most...
