As was said in the thread, you’re the one at the mercy of what 4th slot it’s running and unless you run two soft checks you’re playing roulette with what set it is. It’s an unpleasant dynamic. Corv is the only bulky steel that could not auto die to +2 but it’s also mid so i wouldn’t use it as an...

Wellspring dodged the ban again so I’m throwing preemptive noms out to deal with the salt ;-; :Tyranitar-Mega: B+ -> B Some people like this but I just can’t think of enough reasons to use it these days when it’s so clunky to use at times, and it doesn’t have a ton of defensive utility right...

You’re not really listening it feels like. The meta would not suddenly devolve into fatspam without TB around. It’s nowhere near the only thing available that’s good info fat teams. And as pointed out, ZapKingLu was from an entirely different older metagame. I don’t know how this keeps getting...

Many bits of this comment are laced with a somewhat patronizing and rude tone that isn’t helping the rest of your argument especially when you’re outright refusing to honestly engage in certain parts of their comment, or certain arguments in general. Maybe don’t make comments like “to stop...

Thank you for all your hard work Runo! And congrats to bumbo!!

Win rate is not a be all end all statistic of anything, as there is a ton more depth and nuance to what goes into win rates for pokemon. win rates are capable of being skewed by circumstances such as being over prepared for. Look how much it’s better to load up offense right now which naturally...

These two are centralizing because they're extremely splashable and reliable and offer stability for the many structures they fit on. Unless you want to argue they're at all problematic and we somehow need TB to handle them which I'd find ridiculous, no offense. Mcribs didn't call differening...

Now that I'm done laddering (and had some time to relax, since it's been so bloody hot lately), I wanted to sit down and put out more organized thoughts on why I'm voting BAN on Ogerpon-Wellspring and why I think its removal will greatly benefit the tier going forwards. But before that, I'd like...

A Zapdos clicking Volt Switcy is forced to eat a boosted Cudgel and even if it isn’t crit, it’s functionally dead because it will be too weak to switch into anything later without extremely precise double switches to position it favorably and roost. This is especially bad because Zapdos is used...

You’ve got no basis for this, especially right now. It seems to happen no matter the tier no matter the gen, that some players will fear monger that a potential ban will make balance or far too powerful or common (the latter isn’t even an issue). Beyond that, no one is talking about suspecting...

Ting-Lu is already a top 2 Pokemon in the tier. Wellspring leaving wouldn’t suddenly make it #1. Garg is great regardless of Wellspring, and in fact their dynamic is pretty balanced. Wellspring can threaten out Garg but Garg can also pressure Wellspring and keep it from switching in freely...

Lokix is hard to fit while Dragonite and Kyurem are vulnerable to Play Rough variants (with Kyurem also losing to fighting coverage and Dragonite needing to maintain Multiscale). Pecha is a check but it struggles to handle SD Knock Off variants if not at full health, and how in any universe it...

This is such goofy conspiracy theory stuff I’m sorry and I’m not saying that to be mean. They focus primarily on qualified results but they absolutely consider the general player base as well, as they’re a large part of the playerbase that can influence tiering through suspects.

Could you not with this please? This isn’t true (and if it were why would the council poll the general players too) It can in fact cheese counter play off of crits and many physical soft stops to it can be thrown out if a timely crit comes knocking. If a full health Zama eats a crit switching...
