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.
I'm curious, if Wellspring were to disappear from the tier(and only wellspring) what would be the immediate consequences? How would Rock and Teal measure up?
What is the Pain Split/Rocky Helmet Hatterene set that I've read about in the viability thread? What teams would it most benefit? Balance? Am I avoiding Knock Off like the plague?
I've heard of CLAM Treads, but it still seems kind of out there, like a byproduct of this crazy meta. What other seemingly "random" item choices have sprung up? Have Protective Pads made any sort of mark in recent times? Things like that.
Is there a defensive Hatterene set for Balance/Bulky Offense with a focus on longevity as opposed to doing damage and getting tfo for her teammates (Healing Wish)?
I'm not expecting magic, but if one wanted to use Hisui Electrode in this tier, could it accomplish things without being dead weight? Extremely fast T-Wave+Volt Switch+Leech Seed seems like it can accomplish things in certain team comps.
For that matter, how is Meow doing lately? Last I've...
How is defensive spiker Gliscor on Balance/Bulky Offense teams? I'm thinking paired with Rotom, a contact mon to punish spinners and a mon to take advantage of Defog (Perhaps Trick Meow or something).
And how is Clefabe at Wishpassing? Not necessarily compaired to Alo, because nothing can, but...
I remember how much I loved this as a momentum preserver via Volt Switch, though I value Luna's ability to tank a status.
EDIT: Sorry, goofed a quoting
I swear, this isn't me beating a dead :Ponyta:. I just never expected Dragonite to be the next one on the chopping block. It's as I said, the lower levels of elo aren't as creative with mainstream Pokemon like Dragonote and Kingambit. I (was, it's been a few months since I've played last)...
Wow...Roaring Moon is gone? I never thought I'd see the day. On the lower levels of elo, it was never too difficult, I wouldn't have ever expected a ban if not for my lurking of this site.
Its wild what a difference in elo can make!
I figured. The only other mon I had success with AV Coat was on Arboliva a good ways back.
It'll be nice if she makes a resurgence. Please, think of the trees when banning Tera blast.
Is there a set for Alomomola that utilizes Mirror Coat with Wish passing, or is that as long for too much, and she should stick to passing or Assault Vest M.Coating?
Besides her, are there any other units with the workable combination of Assault Vest and Mirror Coat?
