Has anyone tried choice scarf? Base 85 speed is a bit slow for a scarfer but it's just enough to outsped the unboosted metagame and in theory it would allow for quaquaval to be a decent late game cleaner in combination with its high power stabs and moxie boosts.

Thermal exchange is a great ability but it is slightly awkward to use since it doesn't give a fire resistance meaning that even with baxcaliburs good bulk you don't really want to switch into neutral fire attacks too often

I think the point of these is that while they are indeed and put pokemon in tiers they are too good for, the pokemon themselves will rise naturally due to their inherent good qualities in the tiers above. This is essentially what happens at the start of every generation, except due to the...

I think it's because in almost every meaningful ways, it's outclassed by clefable so there really isn't any point in using it. And because of this it isn't worthy of a vr nomination and I'm guessing people kept nominating it so it was blacklisted

My one question is why salamence is unranked? I can't really argue against this assessment since I haven't used or seen salamence a lot and I know that it is mostly outclassed by other dragons but it must surely have some kind of niche in OU or does it really have nothing going for it?

I am gonna give my condolences to NU this month but why the fuck did slowing-galar of all things rise all the way to ou?!? Also blaziken in uu lmao.

Because at its core, its just a slightly stronger staraptor. For an offensive mon it's quite slow and and the presence of regular zapdos hurts it a lot as kanto zapdos walls it and because you can't run both zapdos forms, there is a lot of opportunity costs to running zapdos-g instead of regular...

I don't really see why we are looking at the mechanic itself instead of the pokemon that use them because there are only two that can use FuturePort viably, the slow twins. There are 11 other fully evolved pokemon with the combination of wish + teleport and I don't think any of them are broken...

I'm guessing this is supposed to be at +1, otherwise there is no way it is out-speeding torn-t

2. New toy syndrome is mostly to blame for the low usage of most of these mons such but a lot of them definitely could not stand the sudden power spike. Toxtricity and scizor were some of those affected by the increased dex that may find small niches but will definitely struggle to be top tier...

Chad slowbro rising

Usage =/= viability ... Although I do agree with you to an extent. While right now lando-I has been relatively manageable imo, kyub is so overbearingly powerful after a ddance its not even funny. It will rip your team apart and its not very hard for it to set up given its great natural bulk and...

Kartana has base 109 speed, not 108 so at +0 positive nature it should be 348

You should put knock off as an option on the physical set, as it let's it more easily deal with the lati twins and it is also blazikens best coverage option against slowbro, which walls blazikens if its not running knock off

There is a seperate website called Pikalytics that has usage stats that update every month and also usage of ev spreads and moves for specific pokemon Also for your specific example, they probably used the belly drum set from last gen: Kommo-o @ Salac Berry Ability: Bulletproof EVs: 52 HP /...
