i'm bummed about it too. i'm also getting a bit frustrated with the people who keep saying shit like 'you're all lazy' and such. lol.

Do you have another slate planned after this one?
bb skarm
half of one. i'm spewing out a lot of ideas but i want to hear from the userbase
Sun King
I suggested a bunch of stuff to Salemance. Idk if he talked to you about any of it though.
bb skarm
he did, he has college applications though so i assume he's busy
Sun King
Well I'm not sure if you're looking for more defensive suggestions, offensive suggestions, or a mix of both, but I've got a few on either side of the spectrum.

any shitty pokemon that can get a buff works. although i don't like the change in rules to any pokemon on the list
Sun King
So I guess that takes Sticky Web Chesnaught or Scoli out of the question :\…
My other two were Geomancy Sylveon and Magic Guard Moltres. Both would fit in very nicely in the meta.

i kinda like magic guard moltres tbh

If you take SR out of the equation, Fire/Flying is fantastic defensive typing. Magic Guard Moltres lets it fulfill a very nice defensive niche, as well as a niche as a decent hit and run attacker.
I wouldn't discount Geo Sylveon. That thing would be a very nice cleanup sweeper. If you've ever seen Xerneas go to work, it would function similarly, but with a lot less power and more counters. It would be a great addition to the offensive metagame without being overpowered.

i just don't think it changes the meta. the only viable niche moltres has in OU is defensive.

thats the analysis. its only set is subtoxic/defensive. i think with magic guard it does this better though, so we'll see. I guess it does make moltres a bit better
i still like it though.

Being a stall player, I would only be using Moltres defensively, but you could use it in a similar manner to Stalltini (victini). By using its defensive typing, it can get in and just be a huge threat to any switch ins: threatening a burn, a toxic, or taking advantage of its good base 125 SpA. Remember, Magic Guard doesn't just remove a weakness to SR; it removes ANY residual damage.

lol ofc i know what magic guard does, i've been playing competitive for a while.
being pretty much a serious ou player, it would be normal to use moltres defensively, but i think heatran just does the role better. of course moltres does have a good typing and all, so i think it can distinguish itself.
i'll bring this up with unfixable, i hope he's still willing to do this
