Mielke vs jabba: If you have to do dugtrio special offense, I like this variant that doesn't care if blissey is alive. You probably have less of a shot of outpacing other offense but that's probably a fair trade when raikou and offcune are so good against offense anyway. Mielke's team is...

Username: Siglut Tiers Played (Not Binding) OU, OU BO3 Tiers Not Played (Binding) (DID NOT ANSWER QUESTION) Timezone GMT-7 Foreseen Inactivity: I work full time and will probably have a weekend or two of no availability

Quick notes: Triangles vs johnald: I like the double fighter bring here but this shows why it's hard to go undefeated (as if anybody needed to know). If you need to win 9 games by hitting a rock slide you'll probably lose one. Johnald's team is heracross food to an absurd level, which is a...

No time to write a big post this week whoops Total (last week): 19-11 (4-1) Triangles vs Johnald Surely this week johnald will lose. That hasn't happened in a while but, much like last week, I just don't see triangles's unbeaten streak ending here. Triangles should also be very comfortable...

Johnald vs Zinc: Johnald uses a very tried-and-true structure here that I am not a fan of. Starmie just faces a lot of issues here relative to claydol, being worse against rock and ground moves and adding a vulnerability to spikes and sand. Additionally, its lower utility against electrics means...

Bo3 is a poor format in team tours and I don't wish to see it spread, but I guess the floodgates are open now and it's assimilate or be put to the sword.

I wouldn't add more OU slots. With the 32 starters required in this format, it's pretty much guaranteed that there will be 50-55 OU players (or even more!) drafted. It's also not that the quality of a game between OU main #48 and OU main #53 is too lame, it's that OU main #5 becomes less and...

Endill vs fruhdazi: The thing that stands out to me about this game is endill's decision to earthquake on turn 20. It's not like an objectively bad play, and more than anything I think he was just worried about getting pursuited after a pert sac, but at a fundamental level there's something so...

This sounds awesome. For an extremely minor issue like this if there's a simple implementation I am all for it and let's not waste any more time in policy review on it. On the aesthetic side of things I would advocate for a range (expressed as '6-7 / 8' instead of '6/8 or 7/8'). I don't know if...

Hi, I think if it's possible the best way to display a message for pressure would be the following: Swampert used Ice Beam! [Zapdos's Pressure] It's super effective! (Zapdos lost 38% of its health) This way there's no indication of speed or anything. Of course it's preferable if Aerodactyl can...

derptrio idiot there are about 1 million posts in this subforum and youtube videos discussing this exact topic if you would care to search for them. To play devil's advocate for a moment as I am personally in favor of at least a test of a dugtrio-free metagame, there is no need for an "excuse"...

Fruhdazi vs Prinz: I have to start out by saying I really like Fruhdazi's team. It's very similar to one of my most-used teams of the last couple years - my team has jolteon over zapdos and considerably less special defense on magneton (although leftovers with toxic protect is pretty...

Great week of adv! Let's get into it! River vs Zinc: I don't really like river's team. I know it's had a ton of success on ladder, but the inadequacies of defensive starmie were pretty huge here. Even if it doesn't get caught by a zap cannon on the way in it doesn't contest forretress at all...

Hi all I'll start this week by giving a quick review of the week 1 games before going into predictions for week 2. Fruhdazi vs Skarpherim: Skarpherim brings like exactly what you would think he'd bring (boring tss ft defensive starmie) and fruhdazi brings a pretty standard concept of his as...
