Rotom also gets trick and does the same thing. As for checking things like valiant outside of trick, that is fair but being a check for another major pokemon often runs into the argument that broken checks broken. Also being immune to status I feel is something that pushes it over the edge as a...

So I wanted to make this post for a while so here it is. How is gholdengo still around in OU? Gholdengo is the most centralizing, metagame warping, and restricting pokemon for teambuilding this entire generation. It all stems from its ability "Good as gold" which makes it immune to status...

I didn't mention the ban of snealser since I did not think it would impact the timeframe for gholdengo. I did not realize it was customary to wait a week before anything was done after something happens. I do feel that it the sneasler problem and ghold problem are pretty independent of one...

I wanted to write out my thoughts on the process. Looking back at the suspects we have had since the second DLC came out (of which there were 3) 2 of them (the most recent 2 roaring moon and gliscor) where posted the day after the tiering surveys closed. Furthermore each of these suspects were...

Gliscor: Do Not Ban

Dozo you also forgot. Ohh and ghold and heatran. You are asking for switch ins, but for what set? I already explained that toxic, eq, and knock are not all run. 2 of the 3 are. And you can scout to see what the moves are. Different sets have different switch ins. If its EQ and toxic, you dont...

I did not call weavile a switch in. Notice I added (can switch in) to anything that can switch in. And it is a check. It koes gliscor at fulll hp in a single hit. 252 Atk Choice Band Weavile Ice Spinner vs. 244 HP / 252+ Def Gliscor: 460-544 (130.6 - 154.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO Also if you have a...

252 SpA Manaphy Surf vs. 244 HP / 12 SpD Gliscor: 306-362 (86.9 - 102.8%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO Manaphy OKHOs gliscor about 20% of the time. And if you have gotten some chip damage on gliscor it can easily KO it. If you are worried about spike damage run boots. That is what many defensive...

One of the major factors for why people are arguing for a gliscor ban is because it restricts team building too much because it can set hazards as well as being hard to kill and requiring sets to run certain moves to pressure this mon such as ice spinner and ice beam. I do agree with a lot of...

In the end, we did get there! I got reqs again testing a new version of my team and did much better this time! Confirmed - Setsu

I rarely post on these as I don't often have a lot of experience playing with the mons up for suspect. I will often play against them but generally rely on a mix of my personal opinions and what others think about the mon. With that said I have a lot of experience playing with gliscor. I think...

Roaring Moon: Ban

As someone who almost exclusively plays stall I can confidently say that roaring moon is not in my top 5 threats I care about in OU. When looking at the opposing team I identify pokemon that will be problematic for me and I need to make sure I keep my answers alive for. Roaring moon is not one...

I made this way too hard on myself Confirmed - :Ninetales-Alola:

Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: Ban
