For the OUPL winners!

Bit late on posting this but I had the chance to make an avatar for India's win in the PUWC!

Some stuff I made during xmas break

Would you look at that its another tree

I ran this thing in UU at the start of the gen. Altaria has an interesting set of tools to work with alongside a neat type in Dragon/Flying. It gets Roost, Wisp, Defog and a pretty respectable amount of coverage. Unfortunately the toolkit is made out popsicle sticks and duct tape. While all of...

Magic and crystals

Eh from what I remember, Kyurem's ban was in part due to it having the option to run SubRoost and stall out/overwhelm its usual checks and counters I might be wrong as I started gen 8 right after it's ban but from what I can tell, it havin roost was a pretty big deal Ofcourse this was pre nerf...

What is wrong with switching anyway, there's enough ways to punish them. Knock, Sub, Setup, status moves, using your own pivot move, entry hazards. There's also double switching, and reading an incoming switch correctly and sending out your own pokemon to answer that. Maybe im not getting the...

There are certainly mons that can KO gliscor. However, these pokemon are not easy to slot on teams and play around. There is a reason Weavile or Mamoswine are not in the OU tier by usage. Building with a mon that can answer Gliscor is not easy in the current tier. HO teams can usually...

English wasn't meant to construct these sentences man :row:

Don't forget Bax and Moon both got direct buffs in DLC1 which are a pretty big factor in what got them banned. Moon did benefit a lot from the current state of the meta which makes its Knock even more threatening, but its silly to pretend that it was only the tier environment changing that lead...

Corv can do this yes, it can slowturn out of Gliscor to a favourable matchup, however I don't really see this situation pop up much, if at all See the thing is, at least in my head, the Gliscor - Corv dynamic plays out in the following way: 1. Glisc gets in 2. Corv answers whilst Gliscor sets...
