i want to just make clear for the record my statement wasn't about hoping for rain to be good either. i legit do not give a shit about weather (i love sand only because TTar is cool) so it was more 'even outside the usual sprouted reasons for its banning', my issues with Woger stem solely from...

I'm still of the opinion that Woger disrupts the ecosystem enough that its removal would benefit the tier more than negatively impact it. The amount of things that would be more viable due to it being around would broaden some structures and make some mons easier to handle due to Woger not...

What are some of your favorite Hydrapple spreads or sets? I've been enjoying sticky hold rocky helmet physdef set but I'm curious if any of y'all have workshopped any spreads for more offensive specific comp ones. This is the one I've been enjoying a lot: Hydrapple @ Rocky Helmet Ability...

I've been running a defensive (may have to try this variation?) Wo-chien on a sand team and its actually... functioning well?? A bulky grass that isn't 2x weak to ice is (u-turn weakness hurts though.....) actually pretty goated. Ruination/foulplay/leech/leafstorm feels real good against a lot...

I'm going to be honest I think out of everything going on in OU right now Wellspring continues to be the hugest issue to me. Kyu I begrudingly hate to death due to freeze, but I don't think playing against Wellspring is fun whatsoever. The mon feels like a hinderance (how many mons would be...

I think they make a good defensive pair. One checks Ogerpon well, the other checks dragons and other SPA attackers. if you get Foul Play too it functions even better.

Maushold and Hydrapple are OU. Maushold as a sweeper is something I've been leaning more into as of late outside of just an encore bot, and it seriously rocks. I've had great success with a unique TB set up for it and it's been preforming outstandingly well. I need to tinker the team more before...

I think the fact Ogerpon has only gotten more relevant with time vs less goes to show its not exactly going anywhere. It's had some downs, but overall it's stayed conssitently good and consistently around. Which is precisely the reason i think its worth investigating as Ogerpon innovations have...

ok but Meow in Smash would go hard as fuck. Unlike Greninja which is a FRAUD in smash. I'm still incredibly irate that we never got silly kitty in that game as DLC somehow. anyhows... I do think Greninja has potential. I used it for awhile as a TB Fairy answer for some threats a few months...

Ogerpon is in a spot where it feels utterly oppressive in the guessing game (Knock??????????? Cidgal????????????? Play fucking ROugh????????????????), one wrong guess and you eat shit harder than anything. At least with Valiant, once you know its Phys or SPA or mixed you can reliably bring in...

Roaring Moon was so strong that it'd DD twice and remove every single one of these barring maybe DEF invested Tinglu from existence. The amount offensive threats still outweight the defensive ones, with select ones like Zama also functioning as a defensive and offensive cornerstone at once that...

I'm sorry but everytime I see this shit I start to see red. It's like a boogie man that was so overblown and traumatized people despite it lasting like 3 seconds. I don't care, I don't care, I don't care. Overblown, overhyped, and a basis shakier than a grandma on her last legs. I'd sacrifice...

One of the saddest pokemon to exist. It has so many fun, great traits. Then you realize you're effectively running a glorified wad of bubble gum that is threatening as an unevolved Hatterene and you get really sad

This is the main benefit I see to having TB deducted as an option. Frankly the fact a mon like IronVal can choose to have Ground coverage on top of its already massive pool simply makes countering some sets feel like an experiment in frustration. It's why even if I think a mon like Dnite is fine...
