I'm not sure sand-attack is "more pressing" than speed pass, but I do agree that it seems strange to not just ban it. It's just obviously dumb. We never go into a new gen thinking "maybe we should unban double-team because there might be some legit strategies involving it which are less cheesy"...

It is good that it is updated I guess it just takes time. Yeah I don't mind making custom sets/spreads myself but it's more when you're just trying to throw a team together and the recommended spread on smogdex looks like it's from 2007. Saving past spreads would be a good idea though yeah...

Is there anywhere we could collate common metagame sets (spreads in particular) which aren't on the smogdex (simply because it is outdated)? I don't mean gimmicks and stuff more just things that every good player knows exist but aren't in the smogdex. Similarly not asking for super secret/niche...

I love your pfp btw, my favorite pokemon!

Sending teams to players during a game is bad. Helping players during a game in any (meaningful) way is bad. What Kenix did was against the rules. Kenix didn't act with malicious intent to cheat. Kenix wasn't aware of the exact rules surrounding this. The rules are a bit vague. Kenix is pretty...

Eo when Twixtry brings his Dugtrio in to trap Excadrill:

Presumably this round has to be played on the pre-home patch?

Hey, we play for round 2 of OST, I'm GMT, weekend should work for me but let me know what time is best for you =)

Yeah I figured metronome, can't really break that well otherwise but a sub roost lo set could be ok I guess... The spread can probably be played with, but max SpA seems good

I wasn't trying to say vish was the main reason for those rain wins ftr, the mantine set seems to be putting in a lot of work for sure, does anyone know the spread + item? Having said that, being broken isn't just an extension of being good, mons like dracovish and dugtrio have the potential to...

They are yet to finish their round 1 match.

Le budget Zapdos has arrived. Also people keep bringing that one rain team because it just auto wins so many matchups. Loads of people have been skimping on rain/vish counters and trying to bring fancy teams/random offence. Rain tends to just run over those teams, + that team doesn't even do...

Don't let Eo get ahold of this one...

Yeah I might remove that bit then, I just meant to show that it's not just awkward to wield, it also often gets outclassed in some areas by the ghosts (e.g. the breaker that switches in to clef and fighting attacks and other things), like you can also compare it to aegislash in some circumstances.
