    Not nessasarily, volbeat has further niches outside of tail glow + baton pass. It is capable of throwing out prankster TWaves and utilising tailwind and encore support as well. While it may not be the most viable mon on bug it certainly has enough of a niche to warrant at it's D ranking.

    Metagame Monotype Suspect: Medichamite

    Just to develop further on what Acast has mentioned regarding the fact that Megacham was in line for suspect, in using the argument that 'nothing has changed' you are justifying the suspect more, as it was in line with the plan for the ORAS metagame. If anything those who are Anti-Ban should be...

    Metagame Monotype Suspect: Medichamite

    I personally feel the examples you used to suggest that mega medi doesn't restrict team building isn't the most solid. For one, Diggersby and Dnite run fire punch because it has great coverage alongside EQ which is commonly found in their sets not because of skarm. on top of that celeseteela...

    I feel like both of these posts on megachomp are misguided, while I agree that megachomp should probably drop down to B rank in this meta, the sets youve posted are far from it's most optimal sets. The calcs youve shown as well I feel are incomparable for you to say 'z eq outdamages 100% of the...

    Metagame SM Monotype Metagame Discussion

    I like the idea of Mega Pidgeot coming into the meta but I feel there just isn't room for it as it stands on balanced normal aside from adding a fast pivot to the mix and a slightly stronger keldeo check. I don't think pidgeot's case is helped with the reduced viability of fighting this...

    My wording was a bit off, it was late at night and I was on mobile. As iLlama says Dugtrio traps the likes of chansey which was more what I was aiming at, banded excadrill is capable of handling it sometimes but P2 and Bulkraptor are easy switchins onto a banded excadrill in particular staraptor...
