https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9legendszaou-2516260725 SCARFKRAI SWEEP (in terms of viability it didn't actually sweep) WOOOOOO in all honesty i actually really like the changes i've made to my team, i know the metagame is a lot more bulk-focused but this has had some HUGE results. also i...

mega absol is just standard pursuit trapping and a surprisingly good counter to mega chesnaught, it can live a grassy glide if it's at full HP and aerial ace + shadow sneak picks up a super easy KO scizor is meant more as bait, because of the prevalence of skarm and melmetal i threw CC on to...

https://pokepast.es/1f6652468a966aad on the topic of mega absol, here's a pretty stupid team i came up with that's actually seeing some good results.

my ceruledge set doesn't have poltergeist, i run bitter blade/shadow sneak/endure/destiny bond. in all honesty i have no idea why i hit shadow sneak, it never crosses my mind that garchomp is actually bulky (for clarification i knew it would die to rough skin, i was just expecting the chomp to...

i'm starting to think this game may unironically hate me

i wouldn't say biggEST, but mega garchomp z has had a pretty big impact. it's rare to see, but when it comes out it is SCARY. i've tried a couple teams with it, and if you can get a nasty plot or two off in front of something that can't touch it the game is pretty much over. base zeraora has...

on this note, why the HELL is magearna still allowed but the ape got banned?? it's the same deal as genesect, every time a new ladder pops up. it's not balanced in OU, and it never WILL be balanced, at least until gen 12 when gamefreak releases "Pokémon Designed To Kill Magearna Specifically™️"

ngl levitate is HUGE for mega glimmora. getting rid of a 4x weakness is already good, but making it an outright immunity could give it some actually surviveable switch-ins. tbch base glimmora as a hazard setter or Meteor Beam Jumpscare™️ is still better, but at least the mega might have a niche.

this is arguably a buff hello?? taking its ONLY weakness from 4x to 2x is insane, wish is going to become a lot more popular and mega golisopod is going to be even more of a brick (steel?) wall. EDIT: golisopod's new type chart attached. this thing is even scarier now

maybe shell/battle armor? it'd encourage more setup builds and with crit immunity you're not digging it out when it gets a few IDs up. not to mention leech life for recovery, and if you wanna get REALLY stupid then rain dance to make its fire quad weakness a bit more manageable.

a question for the metagame developers, i'm going to go out on a limb and assume that PLZA dark void as it is normally won't be implemented? as much as i'd love to see the move restored to some semblance of usefulness after the sm*argle incident, guaranteed sleep would be ridiculously...

i tried to use it literally 30 seconds after i posted, you have no idea how fast my mood fell

nuclear warhead edit: this isn't a shitpost, this is possible now.

actually really like this idea, here's my take on it Each player starts out with a mega bar that functions similarly to how the bar in game works. this one would have 8 pips, and on each turn a player can either: --Spend 2 pips to use a Plus Move (varying effects, like instant charge up or just...

wanna chime in on this, i think a lot of people (myself included) see a metagame that has a fundamental aspect missing from its source and see it as an opportunity to make really cool shit. i'd need a LOT of hands to count how much i've seen online about m-clefairy setting gravity, m-victreebel...
