Gonna talk about Durant cause I've been spamming him in UU since it came out. Out of the three main sets, CB, LO 4 Attack and Hone Claws, I've found the best to be LO 4 attack. First Impression is just such a great new addition to Durant's movepool, allowing it to come in and force out most...

RIP Zolt, you were fun while you lasted, but at least you'll no longer be in constant, undying agony. Bulky waters and Umbreon benefited a lot for defensive cores so there'll be some more variety for defensive play, or as much as there can be before Home and the first DLC drop.

It's only been a few days, but how have people found Dracozolt and Corsola now that there's been a bit of time to experiment? I've felt like Dracozolt suffers from/causes a lot of the same issues Dracovish does in OU. He's got a few sets that can force the opponent to make a bit of guesswork...

Is Magic Guard supposed to prevent the effects of Pressure? It does so on the simulator and I've never heard of this before, it doesn't seem to make sense when Magic Guard is only supposed to prevent things that do damage other than Gen IV when it prevented full paras.

I think that this thread is 95% people arguing about what should be banned and 5% that Garmanitan shouldn't be banned says enough. From my experience laddering post Dynaban, this mon (and the Vish but this thread's not about that) limit team building severely because of its ability to...
