    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Indigo Disk]

    Fighting is generally awful into flying but both Hands and Shifu easily break the core you mentioned. SD Punching Glove Shifu in particular doesn't have to worry about Helmet on Corv or Flame Body on Tres. Band Shifu just OHKOs Tres/Gliscor and 2HKOs Corv/Cuno, and has the advantage of being...

    np: SV OU Suspect Process, Round 10 - London Bridge is Falling Down

    Let's be honest here though, "Tera lets this mon beat its would-be checks" isn't really a mark against a mon but rather something to be expected. You can say the same of most of the mons in the tier, offensive or defensive. It's maybe a bigger problem on certain ones like Arch, Gambit, Ghold...

    np: SV OU Suspect Process, Round 10 - London Bridge is Falling Down

    It's a crime that we used "London Bridge" instead of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" for this announcement. Anyways this thing is all over SPL and also ladder, I actually thought it would be too slow to be impactful in the meta but it's so tanky that it always can 1v1 whatever you send out against...

    SV OU Hyper Offensive rain team, any suggestions?

    IDK about how necessary Rillaboom is, it's good vs opposing rain but you have Archaludon and Raging Bolt. Would probably replace it with Iron Treads, since you're also lacking hazard control. As far as Bolt, I'm not sure if CM is the best set for rain? I personally prefer Weather Ball +...

    Project Metagame Workshop (OM Submissions CLOSED)

    I'd handle protean whichever way monotype decides to. I don't have any particular opposition to protean mons existing in monotype because they can't be used as safe pivots and protean mons tend to be squishy anyways so it's not like the additional types are giving much more than damage (this is...

    Project Metagame Workshop (OM Submissions CLOSED)

    Alright, I've got one here, haven't seen it suggested yet in monotype OMs. Monotypify Premise: Every pokemon on your team will become the primary type of the pokemon in slot 1 (Edit: possible addition: if your slot 1 mon is shiny, it instead donates its secondary typing). Similar to other...
