Lets play along! You, the reader, have been put in this exact same scenario. What would you do? Would you, A. Switch out B. Click a different move C. Save your Tera to deal with Moon with a different mon D. Lose the game, then log onto the Smogon Forums and complain about your own shortcomings...

you cannot post these numbers with dragonite in the top ten and tell me with a straight face that tera doesn't change how the tier plays. even if getting rid of tera doesn't change offense's impact, less volatility is always and forever a good thing, and working to get rid of that instead of...

it's been really frustrating lurking these last few months and watching the tier contort itself into knots, yet somehow do the bare minimum to untangle itself. it feels like every time i check in on the discussion thread it's some variation of "we banned X finally, when do we suspect Y?" (or...

Remember that the standard for banning in Ubers has always been significantly higher than other tiers, because Ubers for the longest time had no bans. A 6/4 majority isn't enough on its own- for something to get banned here you really do want to have that 2/3rds majority so there can be no room...

UUbers and its consequences have been disasterous for OU discussion. Not every Pokemon has to be viable somewhere. The reason these Pokemon are Uber in the first place is because they are TOO GOOD in the "top" format. The WHOLE POINT of Ubers was to be an OU banlist for years. It took an entire...

I dunno. Kingambit has the luxury of having no Pokemon innately immune to its nonsense, as well as an ability that is always good in every situation. Raging Bolt's main claim to fame is gonna be stopped by a ton of Ground types by default, plus Excadrill is back, which Raging Bolt just hates...

You thought Chi-Yu was bad? Gouging Fire is gonna make you wish Chi-Yu was on the unban slate. A Fire/Dragon MONSTER that eats stall for breakfast and bulky offense for lunch, with a healthy snack of yummy cheese stick (Gholdengo). You're essentially looking at Hisui-Arcanine with one extra...

At the rate things are going, the above post will be the only post about this suspect in this entire forum. A suspect on a Pokemon that everyone agrees is horrible for the meta as is with Gambit gone, and frankly didn't even deserve a suspect. And the most anyone has said about it in a suspect...

I know the tiers are ordered alphabetically, but do you really think Baxcalibur is the real deal? I love it personally, we do really need to embrace the big numbers it creates with minimal drawback, but potential top 5? In an Enamorus meta? Great work as always Finch!

alright it was less than 12 hours beating out my predicted 16 max awesome job glad the dumb stuff is banned can we nuke revival blessing from orbit now

blissey taking minimum 70% from a special attack (even if over the course of two turns) is not a good point. because that's blissey. that's the mon that blanks special attacks. even if you're looking at a 3HKO that blissey is taking chip, and with manuevering you can SO EASILY get it to the...

Let's talk about Rain. :pelipper: I know. no one wants to talk about rain. because it SUCKS rn. :barraskewda: :drednaw: :beartic: These are the three viable swift swim abusers. They're not the only swift swimmers, but I dare you to make Lumineon the star of your show. Barraskewda is rough...

Imagine Weavile but with 10 more speed, an actually good ability, and moves Weavile would kill for like Sacred Sword, Sucker Punch and Recover. That's Chien-Pao. Chien-Pao @ Choice Band Ability: Sword of Ruin Tera Type: Steel EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Ice...

yeah, you guys are right. zama c doesn't deserve the suspect after all. ZACA C, however...........:smogthink:

More noms! :regieleki: : B -> C+ The honeymoon with this one is pretty much done. Everyone kind of just knows how it operates and can just switch around to their local Lando-T and completely nullify it. If your primary goal fast screens I would just use Grimmsnarl. If your concern is getting...
