In response to that particular replay, please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Xrn's team weak to Volcarona in general from the get go? Scizor+Weavile core doubly weak to burns and fire, offensively only Roaring Moon provides an answer, and Custap offensive primarina is hardly reliable enough...

You use phrases like "Fix the Current Meta" or "Blame the Current Meta" clearly indicating your displeasure in the current state, and that is your opinion. I myself like the meta rn, find certain mons more overbearing than others but none to an extent of being ban-worthy yet, but overall do not...

I am familiar with all of these calcs, at no point did I ever quote any of these sets as a sureshot answer / counter to Volcarona, I was merely providing an illustration on role compression and how you don't need 6 slots to have decent defensive counterplay to the more common breakers in the...

My intention was to highlight that this shouldn't play a factor in determining your stance. Theorycrafting a meta without Volcarona and using that to justify its brokenness or lack thereof is an incorrect approach imo. Volcarona's defensive utility to the meta should hold no water in both...

Prefacing my thoughts with the disclaimer that I am not a tour player, and my opinions on rona have been purely formed based on the ladder. Gotten reqs, I'm Pro-DNB. This will be yet another suspect where the main bone of contention is the ability to pick and choose checks, and perhaps no other...

(Meta is really fun rn, used a lot of different teams and playstyles all of which seem viable. DNB as of now)

The discrepancy I was highlighting is as follows - Polteageist at 252+ is at 262 speed unboosted. Above indicates it reaches 786 at 3 boosts, implying a 3x multiplier mathematically. Torterra at 252+ is at 232 speed unboosted. Above indicates it reaches 696 at 4 boosts, but the multiplier is...

Boosts in the table don't indicate the number of boosts, but rather the speed multiplier. 3 would indicate 4 individual speed boosts, or in this case a Shell Smash + Weak Armor boost. On that note, I believe the speed tier given for torterra is incorrect. 4 Boosts would indicate a 6x...

I feel the meta is really spoilt with choice for stallbreakers currently, much depends on how much you wanna prep for stall in the builder. That being said, here are a few cores that I really enjoy using - SD Gliscor with Knock/EQ+Nasty Plot Slowking-G with psyshock - There is very little...

Quick correction, 247 is the required speed to outspeed Jolly Roaring Moon / Cinderace without boots after webs. I'm not sure what the defensive EV's are tailored for, but you might want to increase speed to 172 in order to reach 247 if you do use this set. Hope this helps.

Archaludon: Ban

Not that Finch needs anyone as a voicebox, but this post was so ludicrous and laughable that I had to weigh in with my two cents lol. First and foremost, not a single word from his post could be construed as hostile to anyone with even a morsel of competence in the English language. Then there...

I will be voting Ban on Archaludon. Going into the suspect, my initial impression of Archaludon was its oppresive and restrictive impact on the metagame, I blamed it almost entirely for the rain-warped meta and did not appreciate this one bit. It often seemed to force at least two kills, and I...

(my least favourite run so far, ban arch pls) TPP edit: confirmed

Anyone questioning the timing of this suspect have clearly not played a substantial number of games in the current metagame. I personally feel that the ladder is at an all time low in terms of variety, with the same few mons and team structures being recycled endlessly. Furthermore, even if you...
