  1. Project SV OU - Victim of the Week (Week 48: Assault Vest Hisuian Samurott)

    This one is easy. Check Scizor @ Choice Band / Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Technician EVs: 236 HP / 252 Atk / 20 Spe Tera Type: Steel Adamant Nature - Bullet Punch - U-turn - Close Combat - Knock Off / Swords Dance There isn't much to say here. Tera Steel Bullet Punch is a OHKO, and even...
  2. Announcement np: SV OU Suspect Process, Round 7 - Fly Me to the Moon [ Council announcement Post #2 ]

    I feel like this thread is beginning to devolve into deflecting the blame onto other Pokemon and topics like Gliscor, Kingambit, hazard control and Stall as a whole instead of looking at what's supposed to be presented right now. The purpose of the suspect is to discuss whether action taken...
  3. Announcement np: SV OU Suspect Process, Round 7 - Fly Me to the Moon [ Council announcement Post #2 ]

    I doubt that this is a deciding factor, but I feel it should be mentioned. Another strength of Roaring Moon isn't just its oppressive offensive capabilities, but its shockingly fantastic defensive utility as a pivot. Roaring Moon @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Protosynthesis Tera Type: Fairy /...
  4. Announcement np: SV OU Suspect Process, Round 4 - Who Let The Dogs Out

    I feel like a lot of arguments that people are giving for keeping Zamazenta have the idea of banning and not banning something backwards. Regardless of whether it really is broken or not, most of the arguments I'm seeing seem to want Zamazenta in the tier because it helps stave off other...
  5. SV OU PEAKED #1 (2101 ELO) – Hazard Stack Stall

    First: Thank you for this, this was honestly all I was looking for. I just found it extremely bizarre that you didn't mention anything about a set and/or core that's pretty notorious for being hard for Stall teams to deal with was all. Now, onto the points you made: Those are fair, it's not a...
  6. SV OU PEAKED #1 (2101 ELO) – Hazard Stack Stall

    This hasn't been mentioned, but I feel it needs to be addressed before people get the wrong idea: This core destroys this team. Mixed Iron Valiant 2HKOs the majority of the team if not one-shot what's in sight, half of which can't do anything meaningful back to it, while the remainder of the...
  7. BH Balanced Hackmons

    Did somebody order a stallbreaker? Slaking @ Toxic Orb / Flame Orb Ability: Poison Heal / Guts Tera Type: Ghost / Fire / Normal EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Facade - Taunt / Bitter Blade - Rage Fist / Bitter Blade - Shift Gear / Victory Dance / Tidy...
  8. Metagame Convergence [DLC 2 Bans]

    Brute Bonnet @ Leftovers / Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Tablets of Ruin Tera Type: Fairy / Poison / Fire EVs: 96 Atk / 224 Def / 88 SpD / 100 Spe Adamant Nature - Knock Off - U-Turn - Flower Trick / Spiky Shield - Leech Seed / Sucker Punch / Spikes / Toxic Spikes I don't see this thing talked...
  9. Announcement np: SV OU Suspect Process, Round 1 - Oops!...I Did It Again

    Okay, I'm throwing my hat in the ring about Terastalizing, because a lot of the following pro-ban arguments being thrown out don't work in a vacuum due to the following reasons or comparisons: "Pokemon become unwallable" = Manaphy "Complete surprise factor" = Lure sets "Gives them nuke options"...
  10. All Buffs and Nerfs in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet

    Damn, they covered everything then. Alright, here are my thoughts based off what's given so far: The Winners: Hisuan Arcanine actually got a breakthrough by gaining Head Smash + Rock Head. Big bro Aggron would be so proud ;-; Quagsire, and by extension Gastrodon, got full compensation for...
  11. All Buffs and Nerfs in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet

    Question. Because of Pokemon Home, shouldn't it be possible to transfer Pokemon that previously had legal movepools into Scarlet/Violet? Like, Bisharp can no longer learn Knock Off, but you could theoretically transfer one over that has Knock Off, right? I think the only cases where the move...
  12. Resource BDSP OU Metagame Discussion Thread

    Manaphy is a problem. A big one. And it's not just because it's too strong, because below is a set I conjured up that proves why this thing is such a problem: Rain of Terror (Manaphy) @ Leftovers Ability: Hydration EVs: 212 HP / 188 SpA / 108 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Tail Glow...
  13. Metagame Cross Evolution

    Say hello to possibly the best Pokemon in Cross Evo that nobody talks about. The Undertaker (Dusclops) @ Lum Berry Ability: Inner Focus EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Close Combat / Drain Punch - Poltergeist - Shadow Sneak Gallade Dusclops is possibly the...
  14. BH Balanced Hackmons

    So much BH Stall, so little time. Stall Buster (Regigigas) @ Toxic Orb / Flame Orb Ability: Poison Heal / Guts EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Facade - Shift Gear - Glacial Lance / Spectral Thief - Extreme Speed / Fishious Rend / Substitute With...
  15. Snorlax [QC 2/2] [GP 0/2]

    I know it's not my place to judge or critique here, but I feel like giving a few of my personal opinions on this unit. This is a waste of EVs. You want Snorlax's Hp to always be divisible by 8, or divisible by 8 + 1 if you really want an odd number, to maximize its recovery. The only reason to...
