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...

The course of action I'd like to see if there's any room for action, then to see TB suspected. If it's banned, then only a select slew of the threats that utilized it should be retested following. Ones like Moon, Uglier Entei, etc should stay banned but Regleki or something could be fun to mess...

I fucking love Hydrapple and I feel like its seriously so good. Not only does it dunk on Oger (even Play Rough cannot do a OHK, especially if you're full) but helmet on top of it is great for ensure it eats SOME chip. I think its seriously underrated, long as you have a good core that can handle...

Usually I run Mandibuzz in a double dark core--Sometimes triple if I'm confident in the set up. I think running it with a good, strong and fast dark type (Meow, Weavile, Darkrai) that threaten Ghold is the best answer you can give it. Mandibuzz really does just tank hits from physical attackers...

Embrace the Mandibuzz pill. utterly stands defiant in the face of Dnite even against SE hits and has access to foul play and/or whirlwind. Even handles Ogerpon pretty well (unless you get crit.............)

Anyone got some good utility Scizor sets with defog? Looking for a sturdy one that still deals some dmg. Haven't really used it before so I'm interested in seeing what people use.

Legitimately if there's a single mon I'd push for removal its this fucking thing. The fact it has free stab on its moves due to the mask, water immunity, and a no contact STAB that chunks half the meta game unless you're zama is downright stupid. I hate it so much. Hazard week or not the fact it...

Hatterene @ Assault Vest Ability: Magic Bounce Tera Type: Grass EVs: 252 HP / 132 SpA / 104 SpD / 20 Spe Modest Nature - Draining Kiss - Future Sight - Nuzzle - Giga Drain This is the Hat Set i use when its meant to be a stand in against stall line ups. I forget what the EV's...
