Team dump! If you haven’t seen it yet, the Zamazenta suspect is live! https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/shared-power-suspect-7-angel-island-zamazenta.3769515/ Good and new Detailed Flutter Mane: https://pokepast.es/aec5a80460888bc7 :flutter-mane: Rip off of an arkeis team plus flutter...

Got reqs with bomb squad, it took a while and idk if I had fun but it was interesting. Forget V-Create, ban all 95% accurate moves because they’re hazardous for my mental health. Blaziken felt pretty different than the other V-Create users because of the rocks neutrality. Everything else has to...

Not to speak for finnaggann , but I think the best examples of balance teams are 260Torrent ‘s teams, both the one in this thread and more recently on ladder. They tend to use Houndstone + AV Heatran, which come in multiple times per game. They’re backed up with a breaking team of Arceus-Dragon...

I don't support action against Ubers as a class on the basis that many Ubers aren't good, much less common or problematic. Lugia, Dialga-O, and most Arceus forms see near-zero usage. The Palkia forms are alright, and so is Dialga, but overall I think that a judgement based on BST would be a...

:sv/terapagos-stellar: Lately, I have been thinking about Terapagos. Its ability compresses a unique collection of roles. Tera Shell is a Multiscale clone, but when Terapagos Teras, that's when things take off. Teraform Zero does the following: Changes Tera Starstorm to Stellar type Raises...

Haven’t played with the team yet but here are some first impressions. 1. I’d consider putting Aura Sphere over Drain Punch on Kommo-o. Your team’s hardest defensive matchup will be against the common Triple H core (Heatran, Houndstone, H…Levitate), and Aura Sphere gets more mileage there...

You might want to try again now. Several abilities were bugged in the past few weeks. Fortunately, Anger Shell seems to share now. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9sharedpower-2328400623

I've got a couple questions about Sticky Web in general and this specific webs team. :ribombee:-:eternatus:-:zamazenta:-:landorus-therian:-:raging-bolt:-:magearna: This squad came together around the start of the Rusted Sword suspect. I used it to get reqs and peaked at 1537 with a 83.1% GXE...

Nope, because of species clause. There’s an interesting Policy Review discussion on the topic: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/forme-clause-vs-species-clause-oriented-towards-oms.3759798/

What kind of team are you using? Guessing it’s a physical HO. There are a few techs that you can add like Endeavor on Lycanroc, Switcheroo on max speed Crawdaunt, or Draco Meteor on Giratina. These options aren’t wasted slots, either, because they help against Zamazenta, Houndstone, and Wo-Chien.

This Arceus team by Ball inspired me to try out some different builds. Small novel incoming but the TLDR is that Arceus balance is a distinct new archetype of teams that are consistent, flexible, and easy to build. Teams are near the end. This meta is not very friendly to balance. It's clearly...

Pretty much everyone who has touched this OM, especially when Technician was legal, has built a team with Adaptability + Tough Claws + Moxie and loaded up on priority. This team in the same formula is extremely simple but somehow caught lightning in a bottle, as I was able to climb to 1685...

:zapdos:-:lycanroc-midnight:-:jirachi:-:zamazenta:-:houndstone:-:decidueye-hisui: Got reqs a few days ago using this silly paraflinch team, but I held off on posting since I was still torn on how to vote even after the run. I'm glad we had a suspect. Several of my prior beliefs were challenged...

No idea if the usage stats back this up, but it seems like raw Fluffy without Flash Fire is ticking up in usage. Some teams that I built recently were bothered by Houndstone + Zamazenta + Ting-Lu, so I started thinking about ways to punish Fluffy. The obvious answer is to use special Fire...

The only time I've seen Deoxys and thought it was the best mon for the role was in a cool berry team that babynogalXD built. Deoxys had a Petaya Berry and ran substitute + attacks. That set made use of Pressure and Deoxys's good stats. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be a lot of viability...
