Doesn't the move just fail instead of missing? Edit: Never mind apparently it works like HJK and ghosts.

Im just waiting for the spread sheet. I need to know who learns what. Do we even know what these new moves even do yet?

Basculegion-M doesn't get Poltergeist, oof. I guess Dhelmise will have to do.

Hoopa-U sticking around is a surprise to me I didn't know it was getting so much usage. I thought the relatively slow base 80 speed would end up pushing it out to UUBL again.

Chien-pao: 4 - Weavile evolution that cuts defense when attacking and Tera Dark makes it worse. Like using CB Crawdaunt in Trick Room and spamming Knock Off, but this doesn't require any setup. Gholdengo: 4 - Its wild so many people want this thing to stay. Nothing dictates what's viable in OU...

I'd hate to lose Basculegion just for Last Respects, just ban the move. Houndstone even had potential Fluffy sets it could have used in lower tiers. Unfortunate.

Choice Band Basculegion looks like it's going to be the premier Trick Room sweeper. It rewards you for getting it in for free with sacrificial moves thanks to Adaptability Last Respects. Wave Crash gets boosted to 240 base power and it has an 80 Base power Aqua Jet as an emergency stop to pokes...

The nerf matters for certain pokes with pressure like Corviknight and the legendary birds since it limits what you can pressure stall. You cant switch into a Choice Locked move with more than 5pp and spam roost anymore.

How much speed is necessary for it to matter though? Say if you fainted a pokemon, how much of a speed gap would be required to go first against the followup pokemon?

Ghost and Dark types made out like bandits. Everyone else got nerfed and they get to keep their insane coverage.

Blaziken in the sun is ridiculous, and it takes us right back to Gen 5 where Slowbro, Quagsire, and Hippowdon is the only thing switching into this thing. And thats only if your opponent isn't running the cheeky mixed set, which is now more viable now that Drizzle is banned and Blaziken can run...

Sudowoodo gets Sturdy + Counter and has a better offensive movepool + and an actual attack stat. It would probably do more in-game.

US installed corrupted officials into their puppet government and women weren't allowed in the military, who would actually have a reason to fight the Taliban instead of almost instantly surrendering. No surprise that it quickly fell apart. 3 presidents lied to the public about Afghanistan, and...

I'm not as strong as I should be on foreign policy, but what effects would a US sanction on Russia have on Europe? Don't they depend on Russia for oil more than anyone else?

I mean right now "moderate democrats" are actually conservatives, and "conservatives" right now are a cult using the word as a cover. The fantasy that the cult will implode and moderate democrats will go to where they belong is never going to happen. Edit: Or maybe the cult is true...
