Ogerpon-H: Do Not Ban

I will be voting NO BAN. I will be providing my outlook on it as a Grass main, I can't speak to the points made about any matchups that involve Hearthflame's use on Fire. The set I used to get reqs was SD, Ivy Cudgel, Horn Leech, and Play Rough. During my 43 battles, I only got an SD up...

Alright let's fix the Grass VR because this thing is a mess Breloom: B -> A I'm not sure why this was moved down in the first place. I can agree with Zarude being in A, but Breloom shouldn't have dropped. Don't try to sell me some "less utility" argument. Breloom's access to Spore puts immense...

Roserade (Grass) :roserade: D -> C I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm not really sure why Roserade is this low on the rankings. It's better than Venusaur on non-Sunny Day variants of Grass teams with a higher Special Attack stat and Speed stat. It also makes an ideal scarfer due to...

While I do think Melmetal is very strong and needs a suspect at least, the Steel vs Fairy argument doesn't make much sense to me: of course Melmetal is gonna destroy Fairy. Just like Heatran destroys Grass. Or Rillaboom destroys Ground. Or Tapu Lele destroys Dragon. Just because one mon is a...

:rillaboom: :ferrothorn: :cradily: :whimsicott: :decidueye: :roserade:

I just want to clearly point out that I'm not advocating that you use Bulu over Rillaboom: pretty much any Grass team worth its salt needs to have a Rillaboom on it. However, Bulu and Rillaboom can coexist and play separate roles on a Grass team. I forgot to mention that Bulu's typing does give...

Appletun (Grass) :appletun: A ->C With the return of Cradily, Appletun loses value as Grass's switch in to fire attacks. Cradily has more overall utility like Stealth Rocks and is less passive because of its access to Toxic. In this very offense-based meta, Appletun is taken advantage of too...

I'm going to respectfully disagree with Zarude not helping in the Grass vs Fire matchup. Fire is obviously still very difficult for Grass. However, in a couple high ladder matches I've had vs Fire recently, I've only lost because of a rock slide miss or a crit on Zarude. The key is picking the...

So I haven't yet tested Zarude out, but one thing I'd like to point out for Grass is its access to Rock Slide. Grass is 6-0d by Volcarona currently, making Fire and Bug nearly impossible matchups. With a Choice Scarf, Zarude can outspeed and revenge kill a +1 Volcarona. This development is HUGE...
