I'm probably fine with Clef in D tier (B tier is definitely too much), but I do agree that it's underrated. Quite versatile, generally a solid status spreader that can be menacing in a lot of matchups. I think 1v1 analysis tends to overlook its biggest flaw, which is that it's really bloody...

Cloyster only counters (or strongly checks) 2 of those pokemon btw, it generally can't switch in on Chans/Egg/Star. Ultimately if you think that Cloyster is underrated and has anti-meta potential that's totally fine, I don't want to flat out dump your reasoning because it's still a notable...

Hmm, this is an interesting approach, and though I don't dispute that understanding a meta and how to counter top threats is a huge component of teambuilding, I read this post as implying that this is the primary goal of teambuilding which doesn't sit right with me. As I see it, at the core of...

"Big 4" is a really outdated grouping that specifically ignores Cloyster's worst matchup, which is a bit disingenuous when Starmie is arguably as good or better than Chansey/Egg (opinions on the exact order of those 3 seem to vary). As for its flaws, it loses to practically every special...

Tough matchup, gl to my opponent

Operating system: Android 15 Web Browser (with version, if you know it): Firefox for Android 143.0.4 Have you tried other browsers? If so, which one, and does this problem happen on them as well? Yes, tried Chrome and the same issue occurs When did this problem start? A couple months ago, though...

I'm not gonna comment much on the overall team structure because I think the movesets need pretty substantial change and are really the main thing to be polishing with the team Clefable- the 2 moves that jump out to me are Fire Blast and Substitute. Fire Blast isn't really a great choice...

Been a hot minute since I played anything other than rby lol in

I'm probably not the best person to ask since all my teams these days tend to revolve around shitmons. The main example that I'm working with atm would be Wrap teams, however even then I'm mostly experimenting with ideas that are probably bad, like solo Dragonair and ToxWrap. I went looking...

Honestly if I'm running Laxless I tend to default to Don+Bro (Cloyster is notable as well lol), which is one of the more common Laxless structures. As mentioned Don can fill Lax's shoes but it really wants safe switches- Water types that are capable of threatening Chansey are top of the list...
