Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Mystery box,
rest (200ish but hey it's from the bottom of my heart) for another 57% OU suspect
:talonflame: waitlisted for the box, suspect likes given
I usually fully agree with you and I share the sentiment of losing faith after having top players fucking things up for everyone, but I feel obligated to speak up and say "fair and balanced" is a stretch, especially considering a bunch of the cheater accounts were tournament players (so much so...
I really REALLY like Okidogi's BU Guard Dog sets. Old school Drain Punch/Ice Punch/Thunder Punch shenanigans and you just run away with games out of the blue.
On an unrelated note
Gliscor is widely known as a double agent for being both a stallmon AND a stallbreaker in fatter structures. The only thing that can break through is upfront damage because it is immune to Spikes, shrugs off SR and general chip damage, it is a Knock Off absorber, immune to status and does well...
To win, the DD set has to get a successful read and exhaust Tera AND have Sylveon not exhaust Tera AND have hazards off the field. Any of the above are untrue it just loses or at the very least gets a 3/4 health hole opened in its chest and can't really switch in anymore after SR is up, and of...
Classic Fairy-Type stuff.
Make sure you have something to absorb Scizor and Crown's steel shenanigans. Also Wish and no pivoting moves (Baton Pass my beloved) means you need recipients that can take the first hit to then benefit from the Wish. Alomomola looks good here because this Sylveon set...
Unfortunately Frosmoth gets ruined by Scale Shot variants, and it really struggles outside of SpA Kyurem matchups. Its typing is simply atrocious. If it takes a single Knock Off and loses HDB it ceases being a real mon. You could make it the designated Tera hog in a team. There was this one...

Yeah, Glowking is the only balance thing that kinda holds the dam without being an autolose if it's the wrong set. It was already meta before and now it's almost indispensable in pivot-heavy cores. People always talk about how Kyurem can break through Glowking balance cores but the fact of the...
If there is not enough to say, just don't say it. It's rare when a community with a good percentile of shitposters unites to say "please stop talking". Apologies for being rude.
Being excited is all good and fun but please understand that when you're not saying anything of substance repeatedly...
I don't envy their position at all. Considering multiple tournament players wanted it gone, as well as the vote being decided by one stupid joke, there seem to be two main courses of action.
- Keep it gone. People fucked up during voting and there is the argument that what is done is done. That...
We had a very... particular opportunity to experience the game with a "test-ban" of sorts.
Did anyone actually miss Kyurem at all? This was probably the change that made the game feel the smoothest to me afterward (excepting psychotic stuff like Terapagos).
