Mono Steel Offense https://pokepast.es/59137c1725fac267 Very fast paced / "trade heavy" Offense build that centers mostly around trading damage on / picking off targets that open up for end game SD Mega-Scizor sweeps. I wouldn't say this team is very "beginner friendly" but it'll all fall into...

i agree, most steels don’t need to get OHKOd to make an impact for certain mons, but why not do it if you have the tools to :)

man that sucks, too bad it still does the job :)

love this, thanks for contributing to the Magneton Arc, haven’t given Iron Defense a whirl but will definitely try this set.

I would like to talk about a certain mon that I feel could have a solid spot in certain team archetypes that would as a whole boost them. :ss/Magneton: Magneton @ Eviolite Ability: Magnet Pull EVs: 180 HP / 252 SpA / 76 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Magnet Rise - Metal Sound - Steel Beam -...

alright alright round 4 :ss/Polteageist: from B- to A- After reading GoldCats' post I was a little skeptical of this thing at first, but after some building and testing with other players, I'm on the Polteageist hype train. This mon literally 6-0s any team that has Zarude or Incineroar as...

sure, heres two Screens teams ive been using when i wanna load some HO, as well as this fun ass Webs + 4 Choice Bands team i built and had some high ladder wins with while grinding. https://pokepast.es/524a0547fa52ab9b https://pokepast.es/02e7e59211573f75 https://pokepast.es/dc60d04b714c4543

I think the recent rise of Slurpuff and the overall lack of mons that can beat both that and Cloyster in a single game behind screens has shown how powerful Screens are. Theres also a lot of creative options (i personally like WP Metagross and Flame Charge WP Incineroar) that just makes the...

fuck it i got time, lets get into depth right now. I'd like to start first with that Jellicent is nowhere near a "great mon" in RU right now. I just saw some potential in a couple of sets which is why i prolly went a lil too far into the actual set instead of why the set can be good. now onto...

so apparently im the shit mon enthusiast so here we go again :ss/Jellicent: Gonna be talking a lil bit about Jellicent because it has a pretty strong niche right now. But instead of my usual talks about a mon, im gonna provide some sample sets with explanations that ive been testing for about...

Pretty solid screens sweaper now that Glowbro is gone, Belly Drum Sitrus is evil for late games and its a dual threat with the Webs-Endeavor set almost always getting webs set up thanks to Sash.

alright alright round 3 of the Pure tiering shifts :ss/barraskewda: from UR to B The fishy has been extremely underwhelming in my eyes. It's pretty unfortunate that this dropped here with the abundance of counters like Gastrodon, Noivern, Milotic, Suicune, Seismitoad, and Golisopod (dont get me...

Gonna talk a little bit about some more theory mons that could have a solid spot in the metagame rn since it went well Dhelmise and Lanturn earlier. :ss/Tauros: Tauros (M) @ Life Orb / Choice Band Ability: Sheer Force EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Body Slam - Rock Slide - Close...

gastrodon :ss/gastrodon: Gastrodon @ Leftovers Ability: Storm Drain EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Recover - Toxic - Earth Power - Ice Beam Listing Gastrodon as a COUNTER to scarf Darm. Gastrodon takes nothing from any move and can heal it all off with...
