    Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion Thread v7 (Usage Stats in post #3539)

    It’s called a “metagame”. Things are only good when the larger playerbase decides that they are. Kyurem might be a legendary with 700 BST and Dragon Dance which is obviously broken on paper, but it has a history of being “bad”, so it isn’t auto-Ubers or quickban worthy (even though its flaws...

    Yeah Lando-I doesn’t seem like much on paper but Sheer Force is just a broken ability on a special attacker with the move pool to abuse it. It’s the same reason Cinderace and Greninja are problematic. Most offensive Mons have one or two STABs and then some weaker coverage for situational use...

     np: SS UU Stage 5: Change is Gonna Come (Diggersby & Venusaur BANNED)

    Yes, Rillaboom is a real threat and it has some great partners too. Like Dhelmise! Dhelmise @ Life Orb Ability: Steelworker EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpDef Adamant nature - Grassy Glide -Poltergeist -Steel Roller / Anchor Shot -Swords Dance / Rapid Spin Under grassy terrain, this thing has an...

     np SS UU Stage 0 - All I Want for Christmas is UU (UU Alpha is live!)

    It doesn't have Hawlucha to compete with, but there's Thievul! This thing seems like a shitmon on paper, but this set has been surprisingly effective at sweeping late game. Thievul @ Throat Spray Unburden 252 SpA / 252 Spe Modest nature -Snarl -Dark Pulse -Psychic -Grass Knot It sets up...

    How does Foul Play interact with Stakeout? Does Foul Play use the attack stat of the Pokemon switching out or the one switching in? A Stakeout boosted Foul Play could be the best use for this mon I feel.

    Anyone tried out defensive Kommo-o? Defense is actually its highest stat, so STAB Body Press from max defense Kommo-o actually hits significantly harder than an Aura Sphere from special Kommo-o or Dragon Claw from a physical set. Kommo-o @ Leftovers Abilty: whatever EVs 252 HP / 252 Defense /...

    This thing is surprisingly effective. If you set up Trick Room into Dynamax it will consistently kill 3-4 mons. The fact that it can’t be revenge killed with priority after using Max Mindstorm is huge.

    Dynamax is definitely meta defining but... it’s supposed to be? There are so many ways to stall out those 3 turns and if your opponent doesn’t make good use of that window it puts them at a huge disadvantage. I’ve seen people mention multi turn moves. Every mon can use sub and protect. People...

    But then you’re locked into a move that you can’t click again. I don’t know. There are plenty of fighting types that can do Band better. But powerful priority and grass coverage in 100% crit Leaf Blade is at least a niche.

    Leek allows it to abuse First Impression tho. 90 base power priority move with 50% crit chance is no joke.

    Just noticed that Mirror Coat becomes a 100bp psychic attack during Dynamax. Definitely worth considering on Quiver sets to break Toxapex.

    Is Mirror Coat worth running? It seems to Synergize very well with Ice Scales.

    Kinda funny seeing the bandwagon hype for this when Dracozolt with Hustle hits harder and can use its dual stab. I know water is more spammable but still.

    Pokémon Orbeetle

    Encountered a Weakness Policy set in game with Agility. It has a million weaknesses to get the boost off and the bulk to survive most hits. Being able to get +2 in Speed and offenses in one turn of set up can be quite scary, and it has everything it needs to sweep in terms of coverage. Like all...

    Metagame USUM Memetagame Discussion was a mistake

    Kommo-O definitely has potential. It's got the movepool and mixed attacking stats to gives its counters a headache. Clefable and Fini's uninvested Moonblast still has a high chance to OHKO even at +1 SpDef. 0 SpA Clefable Moonblast vs. +1 0 HP / 4 SpD Kommo-o: 252-300 (86.5 - 103%) -- 56.3%...
