Managed to win this barely 4 Slowbros still feels rough but I cba training up another raid mon

Might try Kingambit later. Kowtow Cleave ignore Double Team and if what I've read is correct, it's immune to two moves + TSpikes, resists Ice Beam and I'm hoping Hydro Pump doesn't do too much Failing that I'll just try SwolBro again lol

Feels like Meowscarada will be the Choice Band premier user with Flower Gift Cinderace the HDB hazards controller (Court Change) and Greninja the versatile LO Mixed Attacker or Specs with priority Shuriken. Will be interesting for sure though...just need to find another beast ball ASAP for my frog

What is the likelihood some currently banned Mons will be suspect tested once home releases and there are more Pokémon which may make them manageable?

Looking at the current Scizor analysis for SV, what's the reasoning behind the 20 Speed EVs on the Band set and the Tera Electric options (I'm assuming bulky waters or something)?

Is there a defined Miraidon set? I'm guessing Timid and a 252 SpA / 252 Spe spread but which sets seem most popular? Life Orb, Scarf, Specs, support?

So having tried this ingame team with everyone up to speed, only Kilowattrel is being replaced (for Farigiraf). Flying attacks are just so...meh. Hurricane barely hits, Air Cutter is too weak and Air Slash I don't even know if it learns. And the Tera type is electric so no Tera Flying power...

As is norm whenever I start a new game, I always use the new Gen mons first. I typically always want a FGW core in the games and looking at the Grass types, Meowscarada is the only one that really sticks out (on Violet). Ceruledge and Tauros are gonna be a pain to find but I look forward to...

While I think Last Respects should be banned, without any evidence that the move is broken on other Pokemon, I have to agree that Houndstone is the right ban at this time. Meanwhile I'm just testing all the other broken stuff and having a blast.

Basculegion can't be released quick enough Houndstone died for Last Respects sins...

My guess would be Flutter Mane and Roaring Moon as the two bans. Flutter Mane is broken because of the stats and sheer power - I think everyone is in agreement here. The other ban seems up for discussion between Hounstone, Palafin, Chien-Pao and a few others but I think the unpredictability...

I don't know who it was that suggested Slowking earlier but Slowking is the perfect compliment to Corviknight and Clodsire currently. Regenerator is still really good as an ability. Chilly Reception is a neat Teleport replacement that also removes Protosynthesis from Sun and the lack of Scald...

I'm in agreement with this for now, Water Tera CB Jet Punch has been doing wonders for me, especially in conjunction with Rain but I've also used it alongside a Dugtrio to deal with Clodsire who is the usual check to it - and I'd probably argue that Arena Trap is the bigger offender there. If...

Roaring Moon does seem to suffer from a lack of "punch". I've tried it out on a Sun team and ultimately preferred Flutter Mane and Great Tusk over it. Even with Protosynthesis it was just so meh. I think part of it comes down to is basically stopped by Fairys and Fighting types and it doesn't...
