There is no reason for Azelf to rise rn. While Gren and Koko aren't more prominent leads than Lando but if the opponent sees Azelf on the other side they are very likely to lead with either to stop Azelf leads. The presence of 2 pokemon that outspeed it and that potentially can carry taunt make...

Yeah sure I wasn't disputing that, but my main argument was that you are never going to have more than one or super rarely two terrain setters on a team and most of these terrain effects don't make that big of a difference to be a seperate point from the more general point of Mega-Metagross's...

The main ban argument that I've been seeing and the only big one made so far is that Mega Metagross is simply too strong for the Metagame, but I don't think Mega-Metagross is too strong for the Metagame. Mega Meta is not the best pure wallbreaker in OU right now, if we're looking at Metagross...

Mega-Medicham is not broken on its own. Cham is broken because it has fantastic teammates that allow it to only need to perform its singular function of wallbreaking and destroying certain archetypes. (This is why nobody is talking about Fighting as the issue only Psychic) Psychic is a type...

Mew B- --> B Mew @ Leftovers Ability: Synchronize EVs: 248 HP / 196 SpD / 64 Spe Careful Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Taunt / Knock Off - Defog - Will-O-Wisp - Soft-Boiled In a spikes infested metagame reliable defoggers that can beat both spikes Ferrothorn and Spikes Gren are hard to come by...

I'm not sure about the argument you're making here. First, Tapu Fini is not a stall pokemon, stall is extremely standard this gen its Chansey, Mega Sableye, Toxapex, Skarmory, Dugtrio and either Clefable, Quagsire or rarely Shedninja. Fini is never found on a good stall archetype in fact Fini's...

Offense Psychic Medicham-Mega @ Medichamite Ability: Pure Power EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - High Jump Kick - Zen Headbutt - Fake Out - Thunder Punch Deoxys-Speed @ Focus Sash Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Stealth Rock - Spikes...

Meta-Name - Set-up Remix Concept - So this metagame would make it so that both boosts and drops would affect the next stat down for pokemon in this order: atk>def>sp. atk>sp. def>speed>atk etc. (excluding accuracy and evasion boosts from being changed because there are so few accuracy boosting...

I threw out a nom for Rotom-Heat to like C-ish awhile ago that was decently well recieved though nothing came out of it. Rotom-Heat's defensive sets are imo pretty outclassed in the current metagme. Rotom-Heat faces a ton of competition for that Defensive Steel Check slot especially from...

Suicune @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 40 SpD / 216 Spe Timid Nature - Substitute - Calm Mind - Scald - Protect / Tailwind Sub CM Cune is a nice answer to both Stall and the most common iterations of Toxapex balance. It is also fairly annoying for offensive teams to deal with if it...

Whoops thats totally my bad, thanks for the catch! I'll rewrite that in a second.

Rotom-Wash as a Check Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 248 HP / 240 Def / 20 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Volt Switch - Hydro Pump - Will-O-Wisp - Pain Split Defensive Rotom-Wash is able to take on Mega Metagross fairly easily whenever it switches since its typing gives a nifty...

Cofagrigus as a Counter Cofagrigus @ Leftovers / Sitrus Berry / Ghostnium Z Ability: Mummy EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Quiet Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe - Trick Room - Nasty Plot - Shadow Ball - Energy Ball / Hidden Power Fighting This is Standard TR Nasty Plot Cofagrigus who lives any...

I'll talk about why Fini is not performing fairly well in the metagame. I think Fini is becoming worse because the Meta has really adapted around it well. For instance the surge of Ferrothorn usage not only because spikes are amazing but also because no matter if you choose Knock Off or Power...

Check Oftentimes one's greatest enemy is ones owns self Magearna @ Assault Vest Ability: Soul-Heart EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD Modest Nature - Fleur Cannon - Flash Cannon - Volt Switch - Aura Sphere AV Magearna is a really nice check to standard Shift Gear Magearna, with about a 30% chance...
