gastrodon is a very cool mon and i can see it being quite good with its solid bulk and nice typing and abilities to take on top mons like manaphy right now, and amoonguss is very good too, i can see amoonguss coming back up to ou at some point respect, garg and dirge were both on my in game...

i swear every time i look at this thread it just cycles between gliscor vs gholdengo, tera, stored power and booster energy lmao. i wanna try and set the conversation in a different, hopefully less argumentative direction, what pokemon not ranked in ou currently are people finding success with...

i go to sleep, wake up and suddenly people are talking about others being thrown against the wall as infants. what the hell happened here? like i'm on the pro-ban side for gliscor, but like that's no reason to go around throwing insults at anyone who disagrees, we're all entitled to our own...

you do raise a good point, and perhaps my point was a little overblown due to my frustration at people's non-arguments, gliscor does have more conventional, ou-viable checks than the other mons listed, but as others have also stated not many of these really like having to actually come in on...

i am very sick of people throwing around the "b-but it's gholdengo's fault that gliscor's spikes don't go away!" as if that suddenly makes everything else the mon does ok. does counterplay exist? maybe, but so what? ursa bloodmoon had some level of counterplay, roaring moon had some level of...

i just wanted to ask, what is it that makes tera preview not a worthwhile option? i've seen a few people bring it up and then a few people say it wouldn't help and i just wanted to ask why? i'm fine with tera blast going if it means keeping the mechanic because i think it makes this gen...

i just don't quite understand why gholdengo being broken means that gliscor just... isn't broken? like yeah i get from a hazards point of view gliscor would have a harder time keeping them up withough ghold to block removal, but its still so tanky it can easily just come back in later and set...

just so that this isn't a silly meme post, i doubt that gligar would have much relevancy because its so much more prone to being worn down compared to gliscor, i can't see any real reason to use it over, say, ting-lu or meowscarada or samu-h, but it would be funny to be proven wrong, a world...

i'm just curious, so i wanted to ask, what is it that makes banning spikes so unfeasible? baton pass creates a meta warped around itself and team structures revolving around it, it gets banned. shed tail does the same thing, it gets banned. screens does the same thing to a lesser extent and now...

what happened to preserving as many pokemon as possible? people wanted shed tail banned so that we could still use cyclizar before people started using orthworm and getting the move banned anyway, but are now willing to throw several setup mons out just to preserve alolan ninetales alone? its...

To add on to what other people are saying, i'd say that banning Heavy Duty Boots is not a good idea, as only a few Pokemon become this hard to deal with thanks to their existance. Think about Dracovish and Gdarm, and potentially Urshifu in the future. One of the main reasons these are so...

Thanks for elaborating at least. Its kind of a shame theres no metagame where i can use starter eevee without having to use the let's go mechanics and limitied dex but i can understand why you're excluding them at least.

With all due respect, what does them not being in the standard gen 7 meta have to do with anything? Nothing from gen 8 appears in the gen 7 meta, yet you're using them anyway? I'm just a bit confused as to why it is OK to add gen 8 Pokemon in but not adapt the Starter forms to the gen 7 meta by...

Will Starter Eevee and Starter Pikachu from Let's Go be useable as well? I think given their lackluster stats but OP sig moves they'd make for interesting additions to the meta, at least in the lower tiers.
