Why has Ogerpon fallen off so hard? Is it new toy syndrome or is there something about the meta now that's just awful for it?

I've seen some discussions going around Reuniclus - what sets are people running on it in this meta?

I don't think Gliscor as a pokemon in itself is unbeatable - defensive Gliscor can be threatened by many useful parts of the meta (pretty much all the water types in the tier, Clefable, and many special attackers in general), as well as the newly-emerging Hex spam builds that are getting...

Looking at the numbers says some interesting things about when people have been actually playing. Somehow, Ursaluna-Bloodmoon got almost double the usage in 1 week of being legal this month than Amoonguss did in the whole month. The meta trends from the past few weeks (i.e. the rise of Gliscor...

Hey national dex players why the hell are you using mega banette

I think people calling en masse for quickbans over suspects for such a huge part of the meta is truly insane. Gliscor is potentially banworthy, but it's not quickban worthy, and I think quickbanning it simply because people dislike playing against it would be really premature. Spikes are...

As someone who likes making teams of no spikes-affected pokemon, I've not felt particularly upset by Gholdengo/Gliscor; I've felt their presence is interesting and creates some fun dynamics in the tier, as long as you have a way to largely ignore hazards. But then I re-read that statement, and...

To actually put substance into this post: I don't believe long games are a sign of an unhealthy meta. Boots spam is an archetype and it's quite strong rn, and considering Carkoal's team had very few actual answers for Knock Off Gliscor, I wouldn't view this game as indicative of a specifically...

What's the logic behind Dozo in B+? Is tera reliance vs grass types pushing it down too much?

Why does Gliscor rarely ever run speed investment? Is speed investment viable on it or is max defense too important for it?

Gholdengo as a pokemon itself is far, far from broken. It's somewhat reliant on Steel STAB (which is non-ideal), to do damage without setting up, its slow and not particularly bulky, and it has a lot of very common type weaknesses. If you're struggling to deal with Gholdengo teams and their...

Personal opinions on the radar (Mid elo perspective so feel free to laugh) :Chi-Yu: Quickban. Don't need to explain much, simply a metagame warping offensive threat that needs minimal support to break through any wall. Scarf is almost intolerable for offensive teams, and specs is almost...

:Hydreigon: C -> B- While Roaring Moon does quite a few things better than Hydreigon as a dark/dragon, namely as a DD sweeper and choice item user, I think there's plenty that gives Hydreigon a solid niche too. Like Roaring Moon, it can get switch in opportunities by taking advantage of...

And it's only good because the better fairy types haven't been added. The rest will probably have some lower tier presence though.
