I wrote a post on my reqs team here, but I didn’t state my thoughts on Electric Terrain as an archetype, so I’ll do so here! After playing around with a dedicated ETerrain team, not only do I believe it not broken, I’m generally not impressed. Tailwind is just generally better for a speed...

Cross Evolution, Inverse, Relay Race, Twisted Dimension, Sketchmons

Yeah, sorry buddy. People typically don’t like RNG elements like this because it removes player agency from the game. People want to be in control of their wins and loses.

On the subject of priority in High Noon, when bulky offense mons become dominant in a meta, and when everything gets to invest in bulk and/or offense, priority becomes relatively weaker. This is something else we saw in Twisted Dimension. So while priority is useful in some scenarios, I don’t...

Requester: VannAccessible For: Linked (OM) Art Direction: Basic idea: Artist may take liberties, but basic idea is Rillaboom and Kingambit opposite one another, playing two Gameboy Advances via link cable. Behind them have an Electivire gesturing upwards with its arms towards the text above...

:sv/iron valiant::sv/zapdos::sv/iron moth: After an internal vote, the Linked council has decided to suspect test Electric Terrain as a linkable move! Speed is everything in competitive Pokemon, and especially so in a hyper offensive meta. This fact was made clearly evident at Linked’s revival...

Happy mid-March everyone. Following our format survey and the feedback we’ve received from you all, the Linked council has voted on a new slate, including approving a suspect test. Let’s shake things up a bit, shall we? Council Vote #4 Pokemon / Move / Ability :dhelmise:Anchor9 :dhelmise...

Linked Survey Results! Hello everyone! Our tiering survey has come to an end. Thank you to everyone who responded. I’m pleased to announce that we had an incredible 35 responses in all. Quite the turn out! The Linked council will be taking your responses into account as we prepare our next...

Soak + Volt Switch has been working fine since the ladder started. See turn 12 of this game. Was it against a Volt Absorb mon, maybe?

Linked Survey! Click HERE to respond to the survey. Also feel free to discuss publicly! Survey closes March 13 11:59 P.M. -7. Watchlist Update :pmd/kingambit: Assurance: When set into the second moveslot, Assurance reaches 120 BP (before STAB) with no drawbacks. The move’s raw power has made...

Replays are helpful for stuff like this. Did Fake Out have priority when you tried this? If linked with a non-priority move it would not have priority and thus not be blocked by Armor Tail. ———- dhelmise fixed the priority bug Iknowup mentioned. See turn 6 here of it working properly...

Vote #2 is now installed! Also, thanks to Slayer95 for fixing the coding on linked two-turn charge moves. The most meta relevant of these is Meteor Beam, which now works like you’d expect, rather than skipping the charge the first turn and locking you in the second. (I’m sorry, but there was...

More like Bonus Type + STABmons if you’re willing to permit extra moves of the other types. I like the idea though. Does this combo work as a mashup?

In my experience, while double screens are everywhere, they aren’t broken. They help to slow down the rapid pace of the game, counter the offensive onslaught of the format, and give bulky offense and balance some breathing room. We’ll definitely keep an eye on Light Clay and include it on a...
