  1. Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Indigo Disk]

    I haven't seen any post about Ground type but I see it's ranked very high in post-MWP monotype. What's the main Ground core right now?

  2. Resource Monotype Viability Rankings [March 2024]

    This is me asking a question that's probably silly because I lack information but... I see Trapinch is D Rank in Ground. I guess the reason is Arena Trap. My question is...why isn't Dugtrio then ranked? Is Dugtrio banned? If it isn't banned, then it doesn't make sense that Trapinch is ranked...

  3. Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Volcarona Suspect]

    How is the situation for Walking Wake and Iron Leaves? I think I haven't seen anyone addressing them

  4. Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v3

    It's SV OU the metagame with the most amount of bans ever?

  5. Resource SV Monotype Viability Rankings

    C to B: I think C-rank for Hippowdon is low for what is able to do. The main reason it's C rank is because people use Ting-Lu (which has the almost the double of HP and inmunity to Prankster), but Hippowdon has some advantages over Ting-Lu that makes it viable too: -It isn't weak to Fighting...

  6. Metagame SV NatDex Monotype Metagame Discussion

    I see Smoth, Damp and Icy Rock are banned, being Heat Rock the onlyl not banned stone. So my question is... Why isn't Heat Rock banned? Precisely this generation has had a big increase of sun spammers.

  7. Other Pre-DLC SV Monotype Metagame Discussion

    I'm going to reformulate the question. After the ban of Chi-Yu, I've seen Fire teams are locked in this: Torkoal/Scovillain/Ceruledge/Talonflame/Tauros/Volcarona -Would Charizard or Cinderace be able to steal a spot? If so, which one? Or is better the current team without incorporating...

  8. Other Pre-DLC SV Monotype Metagame Discussion

    How does Cinderace (and the Libero nerf) affect the Fire teams? Asking this since Cinderace is coming already Asking about Charizard too due to Solar Power

  9. Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    I was thinking how Oricorio-Baile is actually one of the best counters of Volcarona: -Resists Fire and Giga Drain, Volcarona can only hit it with Psychic -Auto-sets Quiver Dance if Volcarona uses it, has its own Quiver Dance too so it can get +2 Sp.Atk/Sp.Def/Speed in 1 turn -Auto-uses Fiery...

  10. Resource SV OU Viability Ranking Thread [ UPDATE: POST #751 ]

    Doing this in case the nominations start counting that post and not the beginning of the thread. Wo-Chien Unranked -> D Rank Perfect spot for a Pokemon that deserves to be there and not unranked.

  11. Resource SV OU Viability Ranking Thread [ UPDATE: POST #751 ]

    I think Wo-Chien deserves to be in the list. In the D-Rank, but it deserves to be in the list. Yeah, Grass/Dark is a bad type but: -Bulky with very good defensive stats -Useful ability that drops the attack of the opponent -Leech Seed + Knock Off combo -Can put screens -Has more utility moves...

  12. Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    *Wo-Chien is the only Peril that doesn't appear in the viability rank What's the problem of Wo-Chien? For what I've seen of it, I find it a very good defensive Pokemon

  13. Other Pre-DLC SV Monotype Metagame Discussion

    My litle Ground analysis: -Garchomp usage has risen. I guess the main set is Stealth Rock and Dragon Tail variant? -No Hippowdon. Sand weather has became irrelevant in a metagame without any sand spammers (aka Excadrill). But I'm still surprise about its lack of usage since Hippowdon has very...

  14. Other Pre-DLC SV Monotype Metagame Discussion

    I'm surprised Flutter Mane hasnt't been banned tbh

  15. Other Pre-DLC SV Monotype Metagame Discussion

    Playing more yesterday and today, I feel this is probably the metagame which spams the screens the most ever. EVERY SINGLE TEAM has a Light Clay Pokemon whose only role is to put both Reflect and Light Screen. I think I still haven't found any opponent that doesn't set up screens.
