  • Hey Finch, I am enjoying the content so far and especially the Magearna suspect test idea so maybe you could try this core if it interests you, it has some underated sets (Urshifu and Timid Drain Punch Kommo) which are both underated mons and I would love to see them in action.

    I'll explain here, Magearna + Urshifu are the Fairy removers, Urshifu can abuse Metronome Wicked Blow or CC to its liking, once the fairies are gone you can use Kommo-o vs the new sun archtype and also deals with offense nicely. Urshifu can deal with the common haze mons such as unaware quag, pex, mantine, etc to allow Mag and Kommo to sweep. I hope you like this idea.

    Hey, it’s a cool core for sure and I’m glad you shared it, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to use it as I already have things planned out for the remainder of the suspect mostly and I can’t see Magearna staying beyond that so yea. Thanks for the message tho

    Hey finch I have a couple cool sets I think could be viable against bulky offensive builds and was curious if you could possibly feature one in a video. If not its fine big fan :)

    Could you edit the OP to have some rule against stealing other people’s posts, or is it something people should have enough common sense not to do?
    Finchinator
    Finchinator
    common sense + my post should be ample warning. if they do it, now they'll get infracted.

    https://pokepast.es/d681258b870a3df0 I'm not sure if you're still doing the teambuilding reviews but I was wondering what you think of this team and anything that can be done to improve it? nothing other than Cinderace needs to stay

    THIS IS A HYDRATION STATION - stop what you're doing and get some water, sit down, and relax for 5 minutes c:
    Yo finch are we allowed to start talking about Zarude, now that it's release date is confirmed? Zarude will probably be underwhelming, seeing as it's movepool is literally Rillaboom's, and although it has higher speed and better bulk, it lacks priority grassy glide. It also lacks swords dance, which rilla has, so it can run as much set up.

    Nah, not in OU anyway. it’s still theorymon until it’s officially released, plenty to discuss about the actual tier

    ok. thanks for the reply

    So I saw something regarding a "Hail Challenge" in the comments of your latest vid? It just so happens that I tried to "reskin" your Sun team into a Hail-based version, do you think it works?

    You also lack much counterplay to Electric types, so I would consider using Amoong (also helps with Toxic Spikes, but not as good vs Rotom-Heat) or Ferro (also gives you a defensive Steel type, but struggles with Rotom-Heat, too) > Urshifu. To help with Rotom-H, you can consider making the Ninetales-Alola dual status over Hail, but either option is fine honestly. You do have Kyurem to outrun and RK at least.

    Thanks so much for your reply!!! Just a quick question: Which Amoonguss set do you recommend? Is the standard 252/176+/80 spread sufficient, or is there something more specific which you prefer?

    It runs like 32 or 36 SDef to eat Specs Prima psychic, rest in PDEF+

    I recently found out you do yt stuff so I'm gonna check it out soon. I might bombard you with questions on discord if you don't mind, I'm planning to livestream battle frontier stuff (I suck at competitive metas) myself.

    Always down to talk and help people out, but yea I'd prefer it over discord. Glad you're checking it out and have a nice day

    Can I say that I am really unset that luck qualified to the next round of NU when I have been logged in every day messaging everyday waiting everyday and I get kicked out of the competition because they timed out and asked for an extension and still made no effort to meet a deadline. How is this fair?
    Finchinator

    Glad to look into it when I’m fully awake, gimme an hour or two

    Wait, you're not tier leader anymore? I guess that would explain Joey's joke post yesterday... Who's the new leader? I can't seem to find any information about this.

    It’ll be up in the near future, but don’t worry: I am still around to help out OU whenever possible. I care about you guys and the metagame plenty! I’ll try to remain on council and the moderation team as well.

    another thanks for leading the OU and NU forums. Loved your posts! Sad that your moderating duties (atleast here) are now gone i'm assuming, but they were epic and so were your posts. So congrats on the BW circuit champion!

    I'm still a moderator currently and I look forward to helping out in the future when I can, but thank you for the kind words friend and looking forward to the future!
