One quick thing I wanted to add on the topic of Golurk is that it has a unique niche in AV Trick, something only it and Swoobat can do. I played with it a little bit in OU last week, while exploring how good trick was. I haven't had a chance to test it in UU but I imagine it fairs better. In...

Oh that’s right. I completely forgot about that!

I’ve been kind of quietly waiting to see if this would come up, then I completely forgot about it and these posts reminded me to try it out. Trick is extremely good right now and the fact that nothing can be immune to it except obscure bad shit like sticky hold mons, or trying to predict and...

I can understand choosing Drain Punch > Close Combat for the healing and lack of defense drops but why run fire punch over flare blitz?

Not sure if I am allowed to post this but pikalytics does include information for OU, IIRC they catalogue pokemon, moves, items, partners, spreads by usage from showdown. It isn't the perfect tool for this but it can put you in the right direction.

Boots Torkoal has been fun for me, it really helps push any weather war into your favor because you can switch into Pelipper's scald a once, or twice with wish support, and they usually end up taking SR damage switching in pelipper so much. But what I am really excited about is Specs Venusaur...

Yeah, it took an absurd amount of support to pull off and the reward was generally not worth it, I was just curious to see if others were messing around with it outside of rain. I will say that Water Spout did retain a surprising amount of power with Rain Dish/team support, but like I said the...

Ah ok, this is consistent with what I was feeling/seeing. As happy as I am that Blastoise gets smash, Cloyster is definitely the superior user

Just want to get in a quick "I'm sorry" for bringing up the King's Rock discourse again, but I also do want to ask if anyone has any insight on how the new changes to the meta have effected the eternal Dracovish vs Water Immunity war? I have seen Seismitoad less and less lately, seems like it...

Yeah, I agree with the sentiment of this post. It seems like problems are building up and, granted home did come out right in the middle of discussing arena trap/dugtrio, which came up in the middle of a smaller discussion around kings rock/cloyster, I feel like we need to get things moving a...

IIRC in Gen 4 Kingdra ran a dd + rain dance set, I think that's where it came from- it's at least the oldest set I am familiar with that went by "double dance" Edit: Not to be a dick, just want to include that piece of compmon history

Haven't gotten around to testing it yet but I noticed that Trapinch gets First Impression. At this point, I think we are just arguing in circles until something happens. I think we either Suspect Diglett and Trapinch in a Dugtrio-free ladder, or just quick-ban arena trap. Although it doesn't...

I typed a lot of stuff but I am going to boil it down and be as concise as I can. I have been a proponent of King's Rock Cloyster since it received Shell Smash, and scarfkiss was probably my favorite mon to use in the DPPt days. Once I noticed this trend I decided to build flinch spam teams...
