You see, this reminds me of Espathra's quickban from SV OU following Chien-Pao's departure, where a big argument against it was the fact it could just handpick its tera type to a great selection of options, which made consistent checks and counters to its CM + SP impossible. The very fact...

NOOOOOO MY ARMABOY THIS IS THE WORST TIMELINE I secretly wanted his spooky brother to drop so I could use both of them in UU TT~TT Grimm dropping to UU is bound to be interesting, because otherwise our only real user of Prankster in UU was Grafaiai. During my short time in OU, the only thing...

Other nom I've been thinking about recently: B+ --> B Maushold suffers from the same problems it did back in OU after a while - the meta more or less stabilized and now everyone knows the mice. Pop. Bomb may be explosively strong but the problems are that it only has one moveset ever, is...

Armarouge B+ --> A- I love how Sun spam completely changed the way common Arma builds play. It's got amazing role compression both as a bulky attacker & setup sweeper thanks to having both ID & CM + Stored Power. Once it gets going, max HP/SpD Lefties build is borderline unkillable outside of...

Oh man, that's actually pretty rad because it removes the dilemma of either wanting to run Tera-Flying to dodge Shocks or wanting to keep an offensive presence with Tera-Electric Double Shock synergy. I think Volt Absorb is better than Natural Cure because you want to minimize chances of the...

With Hands out, Pawmot is going to see a rise in popularity again methinks. Can likely run Tera Flying Volt Absorb again to bait Shocks and Close Combat everything to oblivion afterwards. Justice for the Pikaclones.

Wouldn't say so, personally! Beat Up has its uses, absolutely, but it's also far less consistent than Bite in my history. Though the multi-hit move comes in nifty for breaking sashed ghosts and is arguably stronger than Bite at the start of a combat, using Maushold as a late-game cleaner will...

Given rain is dead and I haven't seen water type users in the tier for a long time due to Scovillain running rampant in sun, sticky might be the superior option imo. May need more feedback. On a side note, I've been using again the new arrival Pawmot, and I find out Tera Flying + Volt Absorb is...

Mine does! Excellent tool to lure them. Ran some calcs, and Tera-Ice Punch with Iron Fist and a Jolly Nature might also have some merit to outspeed and cleanly OHKO Non-scarved Sandy Shocks.

Woop woop, the rain's gone, the sun's here! UU is feeling more and more like a monthly weather report. Due to Pelipper being out and Sun having Scovillain, I'm expecting what were once staples against rain such as Gastrodon & Quagsire to take a heavy hit. I've been experimenting with ways to...

Hello! If you've encountered this message, you're probably checking out my profile. Nice to meet you! Still using Maushold ad nauseam even today.

Because of the current state of Rain Spam metagame, I've often seen the Water variant of Pauros run Trailblaze to lure its most common answers in Quagsire & Gastrodon. This should have a note somewhere I feel, though it's probably going to disappear altogether if rain takes the yeet eventually.

Fair, I guess! I suppose I'm overstating KO's presence due to Tink being everywhere (though quite a few other UU mons can carry it too), but I'm not too sure about Gastro's matchup against Tauros-P-W given most of the ones I encountered specifically run Trailblaze to avoid getting hard-walled by it.

Best girl and best lead. I think Tink's versatility is a bit understated. Her typing actually hurts when Earthquake is just about everywhere and stuff like Donphan, Toeds & TTar litter the meta, but the fact she can do lead & setup sets just as well means you're always uncertain what an...

Post-rain will see the two just switch their abilities, but their movesets will largely remain the same. Both will still have their niches; Sticky Hold Gastro is great against Knock Off which is just about in every team while Quag still has Unaware to deter setup sweepers. I can see a drop...
