Here’s some stuff I’ve been using lately :Arceus-ground: I’ve been favouring this mon a lot lately because it can come in on defensive Clefairy without caring about Knock or Thunder Wave. It’s also a good check to Glimmet if that’s what you’re into. The CM set has been a lot more solid than...

Here is my current threatlist :espathra: Espathra is so fucking stupid I hate it so much. It's so bulky especially behind screens and its lack of power is quickly remedied as it just accrues a ton of boosts. I’ll remind everyone there are no spdef unaware mons to Tera dark with. It just wins...

Sorry for the one-liner, I just want to add that Deoxys-Speed is banned despite not being listed as banned in the OP.

I gotta make some nominations to the official VR. Agree with Suicune being ranked. I don't feel like arguing more about Ninetales. :Archaludon: -> A- I feel like this mon was probably just forgotten about? Archaludon is great and pretty distinctive from the omnipresent Hisui Goodra. It's got a...

Feel the need to comment on some posts here. Tldr though is that I think Ludicolo is the best rain mon by a good amount and if we want to nerf the playstyle I feel as though it should be the first target. Arceus and Lucario are both okay and somewhat different from each other. Pikachu is crappy...

How does Metronome work? In terms of putting it in the teambuilder, I mean. It's both an item and a move. :lokix: Lokix @ Choice Band Ability: Tinted Lens Tera Type: Bug EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - First Impression - U-turn - Silver Powder - Heavy-Duty Boots / Insect Plate...

I am addicted to making personal VRs for OMs. Here's mine for Bad n Boosted. As always the lower ranks are pretty up for debate but I feel like I got the S and A ranks pretty accurate. S: :koraidon: A+: :flutter mane::pawmot::skarmory: A...

I have some clarifying questions about Toxic Spikes. - If a Fire (or whatever) Tera Pokemon uses Toxic Spikes, and an opposing Fire-type switches in, does that pokemon become poisoned as well as clearing the spikes? Or does it just clear them? - If a Flying Tera Pokemon uses Toxic Spikes and a...

I don't generally have much trouble with Serperior, I mostly use balance teams that do not run Hisui Goodra. There are a few different pivots that can come in on it. :amoonguss: AV Amoonguss is one of my favourite pivots and it easily defeats most Serperior sets. It can fill a similar defensive...

I wouldn't call Azumarill completely helpless against Toxapex, first of all +6 Magical Torque is a roll to kill spdef pex from full which I often run on balance teams. I've also been completely bopped by +6 252+ Atk Huge Power Azumarill Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 310-365...

Fair play on some of these, genuinely just forgot Walking Wake in rain. Goodra-Hisui is in no-recovery tanks because of the AV set which is probably like the eighth best set it can run but still viable. I don't have a strong take on Azumarill but I've seen enough people use it that I put it on...

Hey everyone, I have made a role compendium for Alphabet Cup. This is a list of different roles Pokemon can play in this format to help with teambuilding. The listed mons under each category are somewhat ordered from most prevalent / viable within that given role to the least, at least in my...

Sacred fire is not really broken at all. Most of the best checks to the move (Toxapex) don't really care that much about being burned. Status absorbers like Gliscor or Take Heart users (Bellibolt) can also easily come in on weaker sacred fires. Covert Cloak is also a good item in this meta to...

Espeed had a few viable users: :enamorus:: Once it got a few Superpower boosts it was hard to stop by anything offensive, and EQ rounds out it’s coverage well too. :Excadrill:: This was a potent SD or DD sweeper that could break through Unaware, Multiscale, and was mostly only countered by...

There’s a few mons I forgot… Clefable, Jirachi, Morpeko are all absent but I think they are viable. I really think Cryogonal is better than Regice, it doesn’t have exploitable low speed and can enter battle easier and hit both sides with strong Ice moves. It can Spin and also has a strong Ice...
