    The funny thing is Blastoise has around the same if not slightly lower bulk than mega Barbaracle physically, it’s just the weaknesses rock has compared to water that hold it back and the rock stab issue. You’re usually running cc, stone edge, and shell smash, with the final move being either...

    Pert getting wave crash is kind of big imo. Definitely raises it's wallbreaking potential by a margin since few things want to switch in on it 32 Atk Palafin Wave Crash vs. 32 HP / 20+ Def Corviknight in Rain: 130-154 (63.4 - 75.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery (Palafin with...

    You're nitpicking an my posts because I said a Pokemon could potentially stay in the tier. You do realize how dumb that sounds right? I can have my own opinion and if you don't like it then suck it up and move on. You shouldn't have responded in the first place if you're going to try to turn...

    you cannot be real here I didn’t say once it would be balanced, I said it could be argued that it could stay in ou because of clodsire, and I especially said if it comes. I’m not making assumptions, I’m stating that if we get clodsire it could pass the suspect test (because it’s happened before)...

    Checks and counters are two different things, there is absolutely no reason to crash out over this

    didn’t know scarfchomp wasn’t a thing here but sure don’t remember saying it was in the game yet either, just pointing out I see this thing being suspected at least twice if we get a good pokemon to answer it in the new season otherwise it might be banned

    There's a reason I say maybe buddy. If people start running spdef chomp or rune then it could stay. If we get a check in the new wave of mons then it would stay too. This thing is frail enough to die to espeed from dnite at +1 with silk scarf. Don't be jumping to conclusions when this thing is a...

    What the hell were they thinking? RaiX got E surge with Ig is cool but Ychu cannot be legal day one The problem isn't the ability right away: it's the movepool and stats. 160 And 130 speed is such good cleaning. You don't always need the boost from plot to win games either. The frailty might be...

    OU Team

    There are a lot of weird choices on here... For one people don't usually run taunt on bulk up tusk and def not booster energy, leftovers bulk up or make it your hazard setter and spinner Skill swap on Deox feels random, you'd rather run psycho shift and free a slot on ival and run tbolt or smth...

    What's the deal with Ice-types in-game?

    I didn't remember gen 1 mb It got overshadowed by psychic though tbf and freeze obv is terrible but after the thaw mechanic was added and steel mons it was all downhill. I was talking in the sense that it wasn't going to last very long. Still good but you don't really like having that typing on you

    What's the deal with Ice-types in-game?

    I'd argue ice rock is way worse but otherwise I agree.

    What's the deal with Ice-types in-game?

    ice types are genuinely so cool, but the type was doomed from the beginning. It's more of a coverage type than a type you actually want to be. 4 weaknesses for a single resist... To yourself. The weather being sort of useless until veil and snow, the huge lack of slush rushers- no scratch that...

    I genuinely don't know if you're joking or not. Yes, new megas get to shine, but that's losing the entire point of variety. No one really wants to experiment because no other archetypes work. Getting by with balance is even harder than ever. It really is boring, hope the next update gives us way...

    National Dex National Dex OU Stall (>2100 ELO - 92% GXE)

    Psyshock still gonna chunk at +2, scor isn’t guaranteed to survive 2 attacks especially at +1, and the Tera thing is entirely dependent if the rest of the team can handle the pressure after lele is gone. Still a very bad MU Imo

    Imagine they add in every stall Mon and give them every utility move in the next seasons right after this Knock off Blissey sounds like something straight from hell lmfao
