In the bugged state, you would lose your boots I think, the idea is that it is supposed to activate moth’s own booster energy though, not valiant’s, for how it is supposed to work

How come Ceaseless Edge is banned but stone axe is not? I know spikes can be stacked over time making the move much more spammable, but rocks does have the benefit of hitting all Pokémon and still getting around hazard counterplay.

Rotom-fan finally losing the levitate ability is pretty cool.

Now the metagame might have bugs, but I have still had a lot of fun. I’ve been using a team to do pretty well on ladder, and ended up with https://pokepast.es/337b874d6cba1797. The first Pokémon is the one and only Dragonite, with item spam to increase damage. Dragon dance serves to outspeed...

I wonder what the meta would look like if we kept the bugs and instead shaped the meta around it. The fact that there is a consistency to how the items work is kinda interesting to me. Ofc I don’t think that will actually happen cause it would be way too much work to make the bugs even slightly...

Even if you had multiple types of berries that activate at low hp then I’m pretty sure they would all just activate at once so stacking hp berries may not be worth it.

So… Binding band and grip claw stack. This makes stuff like whirlpool alomamola in theory really funny. It now has access to heavy duty boots to switch into strong physical attackers, leftovers to heal, and if whirlpool hits you do over 1/3 of their hp with a protect(though there will prob be...

I think sun and rain get massive boosts here due to being able to stack life orb+plate+mystic water/charcoal. So I made what I'm guessing is a pretty bad rain team. https://pokepast.es/367ad3f51e44372d Another good thing about HO teams is that they do not have to use an item slot of leftovers...

Bao2022 detailed in one of their posts how special delibird has merit. I’m gonna expand on what bao stated because I find it fun to look and see what mons are possible of doing. I will say physical set usually use hustle, and hustle misses have won me games against opposing players. Its special...

I thought of it, but I’ve didn’t post anything about it because it’s move pool is awful. It’s best special attacking moves are shadow ball, hex(which it wouldn’t run without its access to status moves), power gem, and Tera blast. The nice thing about gimmigoul is its amazing base 160 speed...

Even if bronzor had a recover move better than rest, idk if it would still be good. It has access to storedpower+calm mind+iron defense to be a crit-me-not sweeper, but if the opponent has a single dark type that fails. While pawnaird is overhyped, it is still on a large number of teams faced...

2 things I would say is that it’s kinda confusing at first why you have 7 mons together in the pokepaste, you have to read into the very end of the rundown segment to see why that’s like that(though it isn’t that much reading). Second you detail that meowth-galar is a great physical wall, but...

On showdown below team builder You can go to ladder then 350 cup to see the top 500 players by elo

While I come from playing while it was still OM of the month and the new mons weren’t out yet, I pretty much thought of clodsparce as must pick for 99% of teams. The biggest problem I saw was simply their access to coil (and to a bit less of an extent curse). Their bull was so good that they...

I forgot that it had simple so Nevermind it does stand up to cacnea. I don’t think stockpile would work out due to it having no recovery, but the one turn of set up is actually worth it. Plus its typing is much better than cacnea offensively so it can hit some of the premier special walls like...
