I don't know if its a cheese strat that's gained popularity or just me putting extra attention on it, but I feel like custap berry is something that skyrocketed in usage these past few months. Primarina can use it, lead mons can use it, Serperior uses it on that one RMT Fun development that...

It's a boring answer, but I have to go with Great Tusk. No team I build feels finished without it, it always carries its weight on the team and the simple luxury of being able to spin is incredible. It's also a fun case where tusk is actively left wanting more, as its movepool is close to...

im guessing from the stall replay the dogi just cooks the dozo?

cosigning this, since alolomola often doesnt even want to switch into oger having an actual volt switch counter is so good for the team stall on space cowboy

Ghold is absolutely not the problem right now, even if he's part of the reason why the amount of viable spinners is down to 1 I dont see how this discussion is relevant at all in the current meta, especially when everything just runs HBD anyways

Banning an ability on only 1 pokemon goes against the way bans are handled. You either ban kingambit or dont, thats just how it is. Sun is not as oppressive as rain is right now. In time, both will probably be dealt with, but archaludon/rain is the more pressing matter right now

I dont think a modern generation metagame where weather is this prominent will ever work. Weather teams are automatically somewhat matchup fishy, and lean on the hyper offensive side, making playing against them unfun. A possible damp rock/heat rock suspect could be fun to see after kyurem is...

Totally in the same boat as you are. The only reason i could see this thing staying is the fact its so hard to get onto the field. Thing is, when it hits the field, it clicks buttons and suddenly half of your teams missing. It's sheer strength in numbers is absurd, considering it can comfortably...

Considering your lack of special defense, i'd go for a basic defog spdef corv Corviknight @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure Tera Type: Water EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Defog - Roost - U-turn - Brave Bird/Body Press if you feel like you have enough special...

Also, swapping out waterfall on Hamurott for either razor shell or aqua cutter allows you to take advantage of sharpness, and swapping brick break for either flip turn or knock off gives its fourth move more of a reason to be there, as brick break rarely comes in handy, and the moves either give...

Your team seems to be extremely weak to ground moves, so i'd do something about that. Hazards also seem like a notable issue, with the team lacking heavy duty boots, and its only spinner folding to gholdengo. Maybe something like a physically defensive corviknight could work instead of the...

Good thing that Kyurem's gonna possibly go, that thing has Iron Valiant's set potential on an arguably better typing and stat spread. Even though i've always viewed it as an OU regular, HDB was arguably the best thing it could've gotten, and the fact that it thrives in such a hazard heavy meta...

because thats the only problem with it its a pokemon battle simulator, it should be simulating the real experience as accurately as seen fit

but the pokemon (especially darkrai atm) are not banworthy apart from the brokenness of the status they induce. also ignoring the issue of sleep clause will eventually get us into this position again.

you're missing the point being made. the idea is that if a game from gen 8 was replicated on cart, the lack of dynamaxing would be explained as a gentlemens agreement between the 2 players to not use the button. showdown does this by just not having the button available this isnt the same as...
