Well Mark Robinson remains in the NC governor race, which means NC is officially in play for Harris as he just tanks the GOP ticket. Wont go into details of his most recent scandal, but its hard to pick a worst candidate to put on a ticket during a presidential election in a potential swing state.

Assuming Kamala wins, Biden will be remembered for selflessly stepping down (even though he was basically shoved) for the next generation, and for arguably being the most progressive president in the modern era. Similar to how Obama has near legendary status in the public eye despite the...

Kamala already far better than Biden at a debate. Cant imagine Trump agreeing to another, he looks bad right now and is falling for obvious traps.

I thought we were past "when they go low we go high" nonsense. MTG attacked her first.

Pretty much where I am too. Politics is a team sport, and letting the Trump administration in the White House again to kickstart all of their insane policies would negatively affect the lives of millions including myself. And 3rd parties in this country are not viable and the most popular one is...

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.
