lots of grounds lots of steels. tankchomp is on basically every team. other really common mons include drill magearna heatran ghold scarf krook scarf latios melmetal rotom w (ability shield sometimes) specs Keldeo ceru clef the slows etc

it's fun as a defensive wall. I like running knock off to own random latios or gholdengo switch ins. the free healing is nice and having 70bp prio is amazing but yeah I barreely find opportunities to use belly drum. when I do though I get very quick forfeits

i meant that he's basically mega rillaboom, hence monke

the fall of one monke marks the rise of another. welcome back, rillaboom

imo drizzle is basically no guard for its important moves but without zap cannon being an issue

oh. grassy seed. because this thing totally needed a way to boost defense, a free +20 to stored power, and chip heal. absolute nightmare

the fact that of all the mons the slow monkey went first instead of mage is so funny. hey at least one funny broken mon is gone though

another example is greninja, base or mega. it had an insane speed tier, nasty plot/SD, unpredictable coverage, and heck even an unpredictable type. it had a move to answer literally any check you threw at it: low kick, gunk shot, etc. You couldn't just switch it in whenever you wanted but once...

a combination of various factors. for an offensive threat, your plan is to: bring it in set it up (if required) kill your opponents mons while your opponent tries to stop you a pokemon is broken if it does all or many of these really well to the point where the entire game becomes about...

somehow I failed to consider nasty plot lmao. ive also seen trick ghold

all the steels except 2 fear that random fighting attack. so it's a choice of a) switch in the steel type and stop mag from setting up but risk getting a mon nuked for no good reason, or b) don't switch in, try and scout or outplay it some other way, get set up on and by the time you realize...

also, mag isn't fun to play WITH. like if you run mag you don't even need to try to beat the opponents team, you just need to beat heatran/sableye or whatever, switch mag in on something, set up, click buttons, win. it's brainless af

you can use natdex and ignore non-natdex stuff

speaking of, soul-heart dragonite is kinda pointless. We took a unique, signature mythical ability and gave it to totally-unrelated dragonite only for it to not even be good with it since its special movepool is too unreliable. drizzle would be cool, it gets accurate thunder and hurricane...

and the sets cover for each other's weaknesses. the steels that wall the SP sets die to focus miss, (except gholdengo) and talonflame drops to Tbolt or VS. until you see the set you genuinely have no idea what counters it on your team. it was the same problem with greninja except gren dropped...
