This I don't even see as a problem. Mag has atrocious speed which is only somewhat ameliorated by its excellent defensive typing. Despite its aforementioned typing, the lack of bulk investment on the Specs set means its 80/115/115 defenses wont allow it to take super effective hits the way the...

I think to figure out the reason that some people are calling for the Slow twins to be looked at you have to examine this gen's meta at large which I'll discuss in a few points: 1. Lower power level+Heavy-Duty Boots: Heavy-Duty Boots was by far the largest buff defensive pokemon could...

I think that between Dragapult's high speed and just good enough bulk that it can seem overwhelming to deal with on paper. In reality, it really only has one move to attack with after it burns Never-Ending Nightmare. Due to its 88/75/75 bulk, it can really only set up on the most passive of...

I dont quite see what some people find broken about Kyurem-B. While its 125/100/90 bulk is excellent for an offensive mon allowing it to get easy subs on passive staples such as Toxapex or Blissey, its held back by an atrocious defensive typing which makes it weak to all forms of entry...

We pretty much all know what this does by now. I'll mainly be talking about the banded set as I'm sure we can all agree that that's by far the most dangerous; Scarf is left wanting for power if running a Jolly nature but is still naturally outsped by notable offensive mons such as Tapu Koko, Ash...

My experience with SS OU has been fairly limited, but I did try Cinderace when it was in the tier and did not feel that it was broken at all. Offensive options are sorely limited right now due to dexit, meaning that splashable wallbreakers are not very easy to find. NP Hydreigon gets stuffed by...

B+>A- This mons natural bulk+typing definitely earns it an A tier spot. The ability to provide a sturdy check to top offensive threats such as Cinderace, Greninja, Dracovish and Rillaboom while not being passive due to its naturally high Sp Atk stat is invaluable. Venu also provides an...

I think Toxapex is a large problem in the meta due to a few factors. 1. Lack of power creep. A mon that has 50/152/142 defenses along with an ability that automatically recovers a third of its health from switching+ an excellent defensive typing in Water/Poison mandates a power crept meta...

I think Torn will definitely have a place in the metagame as the most splashable Defogger in the tier. Considering that it only really needs Hurricane+Defog on its moveset, it can pick and choose whether it want to function as a fairly bulky pivot that gives offensive teams insurance against...

I generally play national dex but I‘be played a decent amount of gen 8 OU post DLC. I’m not the most knowledgeable about this meta though so bear with me lol. I think Mag has to go..mainly because it’s more or less a big fish in a small pond. The OU power level is at the lowest it’s been in...
