Requesting Trapinch. no, not ever being written :arcanine:

Have you never used a suicide lead in your life? Just because a mon dies in the first 3 turns doesn't mean the mon didn't contribute. In fact, far from "slowing down the pace of ice", the mon in fact massively speeds up the pace of HO Ice by giving you a gamestate that you can take advantage of...

Just realized there are no Ice samples or proposed Ice samples with Light Clay Alola-Ninetales. This may give new players an erroneous assumption that Light Clay ANine is unviable, so I'll submit a 4th ice team here: Light Clay ANine + Sub DD kyurem: https://pokepast.es/25b5554d481120ba...

I just submitted 3 very distinct ice sample teams here all of have Froslass (which is not a coincidence, I consider it to be a top3 mon on the type after all). I hope seeing those teams helps you build with the mon. I believe the mon fits on any style of Ice team, whether you're running a team...

The ice samples are a bit old and are in need of an update IMO, so I'll be submitting some teams: Big 6 ice: https://pokepast.es/03b260cd8a6608de Description: It's pretty simple here, which is great for new players. We simply take the 6 best ice mons and put them on a team, and it looks like a...

All of the following mons are ZU or below: - Articuno :Articuno: - Braviary :Braviary: - Ditto :Ditto: - Froslass :Froslass: - Rotom-Mow :Rotom-Mow: - Indeedee-F :Indeedee-F: - Minior :Minior: - Sableye :Sableye: - Scovillain :Scovillain: - Smeargle :Smeargle: - Weezing :Weezing: - Whimsicott...

I'll give you my hot take: It doesn't matter what the ripple effect is, or what the effect of a heat rock ban is. If Fire is still a top7 type after a Heat rock ban, people will just want something else banned until Fire's metagame impact becomes irrelevant, and people effectively no longer have...

Double posting because King Trapinch is important enough to get its own post. I've been playing a bit of ground lately (used sandless ground for reqs, went 25-1), and to me the rankings are a bit of a mess. One thing that stands out is the fact that sandless ground appears to be severely...

Got reqs, went 25-1 with something actually broken and brainless (Gliscor, why is this still in the tier?). I will be voting DNB on heat rock. The simple reason is that heat rock just isn't that strong. As far as items that boost STAB moves for 8 turns go, the only ones that have caused issues...

:Trapinch: UR -> S+++++ Accidentally got reqs again when testing Trapinch, this pokemon is so good it can get reqs by accident even when not resetting for low ladder losses while changing sets as team gets perfected Trapinch @ Choice Band Ability: Arena Trap Tera Type: Ground EVs: 252 HP / 252...

There's a lot of discussion about how Gliscor flying teams are a massive pain. While I agree Gliscor needs to go, Gliscor is not just broken on Flying teams. Gliscor on ground teams is just as deadly and braindead as Gliscor next to its Flying friends. I played Garry and Neko at the same time...

As someone who also wants Gliscor suspected, I'll add my 2 cents. Gliscor is incredibly frustrating to play against. A ton of so-called "counters" don't actually counter Gliscor at all because they can't switch-in out of fear of Toxic. For example, if the dragon player switches Specs Latios...
