    Format Discussion Scarlet/Violet Random Battle Sets

    Physical Raichu has worse coverage (neither of the sets you list can do anything to Ground-types), isn't boosted by Lightning Rod procs or Nasty Plot, and the Volt Tackle recoil is a way more significant downside than you seem to believe. Pikachu runs Volt Tackle because Pikachu needs as much...

    Format Discussion Scarlet/Violet Random Battle Sets

    unfortunately, in randoms, sometimes you just load into a losing match, and these same kinds of complaints can be made about pretty much every kind of volatile sweeper, from cosmic power to shell smash to quiver dance to belly drum. sometimes you have no priority or sleep-immune mons into...

    Metagame Convergence [OM of the Month (New Bans post #551)]

    because primarina is the only thing that's broken with huge power (azumarill and wigglytuff are both fine) is there any reason p2 and pz can't just switch to tera starstorm? afaik terapagos isn't banned, and obviously you take a bit of a hit in power and probably more significantly in PP, but...

    Pet Mod VaporeMons - Raging Bolt Unbanned @ Post 834

    i think you've completely misinterpreted what i'm saying. i never said spikes shouldn't be an option (it should!) and i haven't been approaching this from the standpoint of trying to nerf the gliscor set. subtoxic is more annoying than spikes gliscor generally, which in randoms means more...

    Pet Mod VaporeMons - Raging Bolt Unbanned @ Post 834

    i still have my doubts in the context of randoms - stuff that works in OU doesn't always work in randoms. i'll take your word for it that it works, but at minimum, if dragon tera shard is in the pool i think giga drain needs to be axed and replaced with leaf storm, because (assuming levels are...

    Pet Mod VaporeMons - Raging Bolt Unbanned @ Post 834

    dragon tera shard removes its grass STAB as well which means if you roll giga drain it's a dead slot. especially if it's supposed to be a regen pivot, the lessening of the ice weakness isn't worth forfeiting both a move that helps its longevity and lets it threaten waters and the utility of HDB...

    Pet Mod VaporeMons - Raging Bolt Unbanned @ Post 834

    reviewing a few sets, if i don't talk about it i think it's fine i don't think dragon tera shard is an especially viable item on this set? certainly not compared to boots substitute and knock off should be options here - regular randbats has subtoxic gliscor and it's one of those things that...

    Research Scarlet & Violet Battle Mechanics Research

    If a Pokémon holding a Kee Berry is hit by Knock Off, the Kee Berry is consumed. Can it be regained through Harvest, or is it still considered to be "knocked off" and therefore ineligible for Harvesting?
