there's an ongoing pr thread about this exact topic with a couple ideas mentioned on how to mitigate this one-guy-spamming-one-team issue (among other things). there is hope still

I am pleasantly surprised to see that instant struggle has a worthwhile niche somewhere! my question doesn't have to do with legality though (I am fully aware that the game won't let you try to forget a pokemon's only move), I am more asking if there is anything stopping you from hacking in a...

fun (Dragapult) @ Heavy-Duty Boots / Disable / Shadow Ball / Draco Meteor Ability: Focus Sash / Leftovers / Heavy-Duty Boots Tera Type: Fairy EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Infestation - Binding Band - Grip Claw - Protect I really like that binding band +...

Dragapult @ Focus Sash Ability: Cursed Body Tera Type: Fairy EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Disable - Heavy Duty Boots - Shadow Ball - U-turn I hate itemstacking. last 2 slots are filler

I think this may not be quite the right place to ask but I'm not sure where else would be relevant - is it possible to load a pokemon into a battle without any moves?

unless I'm misremembering what was said earlier in the thread, imposter will copy everything that is in the opponent's moveslots and ability slot on switch in so you end up with transformed ditto @ whatever's in the item slot and nothing else. taking your set, if you transform the...

subzero used, it's an unofficial usage based tier below the already unofficial zeroused. as far as I'm aware there's no metagame thread for gen 9 su on smogon, but there is a discord server you can join if you're interested in learning more

the op has since been edited, araq is indeed dropping straight to nu for the reason that you cited later on in the thread

from what I can tell the precedent set by worry seed/gastro acid and mimic means that consumable items in non-item slots should probably replenish when switching in and out, is this the plan? on a semi related note, how will recycle and harvest work?

tier shifts use the usage stats above a rating of 1630 (1695 in ou) so I don't really think that this bad player argument holds a lot of water. ladder does like spamming certain structures (and sometimes specific teams) over others though so occasionally you see some random shitter get a bunch...

zamazenta is the fastest thing that isn't regieleki that is also bulkier than regieleki, which does help you live a little longer I suppose, but the tradeoff is that you get to lose the 1v1 to taunt regieleki 100% of the time as opposed to 50%. I'm wondering what calcs would actually make this...

wrong gen

lotta coverage of a bunch of oddball formats, you really don't see this kinda content elsewhere. my goat for real

just a heads up, you formatted the heatran text as being colored white so I can't see it at all on light mode. (no particular stake in the nom, I haven't played since drops)

unofficial usage based tier below zu, anything that has <4.52% usage in zu is allowed there (minus a couple bans for balance purposes) on a separate note, I am deeply pleased that after 2 years and a long stint in zu oricorio-pom-pom has once again risen from nubl to ru. what a wonderful world...
