that burn on Dragonite was hilarious but good job not tilting that Annihilape set is demonic btw, wonder what the EVs are

hurts to see Revavroom not on the ranking list, but unfortunately appropriate given the stat spread and (lack of) coverage tools it gets sadly WHY GAMEFREAK, IT HAS SUCH A COOL DESIGN

Another unconventional mons that I think may have an OU niche depending on how the meta shakes out: Bellibolt - 109/91/83 defenses are not bad at all, pure Electric is a decent defensive typing (yes, weakness to EQ sucks but it's only a 2x weak), Static is a great defensive ability, and it...

Agree that this nerf really does hurt, but Moonlight also being hit by Sand/Rain is a big issue.

YES YES FINALLY GODDAMN IT YES okay I wish it was Shore Up, and that Gamefreak gave Regirock Recovery too but still this is actually a big deal because it's really quite tanky - yea sure it doesn't have Sand naturally, but that ability is honestly SUPER good (free Ghost resist is really...

sad that outside of Paradox Volc, not a single new Bug type even hits 500 BST like cmon Gamefreak And why make the sick DUNG beetle a Psychic type? Why not Ghost? Or GROUND?

remember that it's also straight-up immune to Burns, meaning it doesn't have to worry about Scald or Flame Body (or Wisp, but that's less common) at all when setting up

While there are some obvious winners like the pseudo and other legends, I think knowing the movepools of some mons is really important to determine their viability.

really wish our beautiful engine was more defensively oriented with the stat spread, but at least it has a good defensive Ability (would have loved Flash Fire/Thermal Exchange or Levitate)

straight from one of the /vp/ threads, which was made up about 10-15 min ago lol

Yea I feel it's kinda like Z-moves in a sense (which IMO made Gen 7 worse overall). Z-moves definitely let a lot of weaker mons at least be able to do more than be fodder in the higher tiers, and gave many mons a valid niche in a tier above what they'd otherwise be stuck in, but Z-moves were...

HOLD UP IT GETS SLUSH RUSH, SECRET SPEEDSTER INCOMING INB4 BASE 30 SPEED also 4X ICE RESIST BABY but it's thicc so Low Kick obliterates it

WE GOT OUR PROBABLY-SLOW-AND-BULKY ICE TYPE POKEMON THERE WE GO BABY AND THERE WE GO WE GOT OUR PROBABLY-BUSTED-IN-SMOGON-SINGLES MECHANIC

actually I now dislike the Scarlet legendary - Koraidon - because honestly I think it could kinda work as the final evolution of Fuecoco and I really dig the design

I actually dig the legendary designs, I do love me some jet engines on creature designs, and I love the showiness of the Scarlet legendary.

YO THERE'S A PIG NAMED LECHONK THAT'S AMAZING LET'S GOOOO ALSO TYRANITAR CONFIRMED BACK IN THE GAME, THE OU MAINSTAY LIVES ON. AAAAND SO IS PEX LMAOOOO

IMO Avalugg is a counter, as is the Kommo-o set (although this is more arguable). If we limit counters to mons that only have reliable recovery, that's kind of a slippery slope - why not limit it to mons that have recovery AND outspeed the threat (otherwise if they swap in already chipped they...

Slowking-Galar @ Black Sludge Ability: Regenerator EVs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Sludge Bomb - Slack Off - Trick - Ice Beam This Mixed Defense Slowking-Galar utilizes the combination of Trick and Black Sludge to help wear down Steel-types like Corviknight...

I don't understand how the listed Slowking-Galar set isn't a counter. Okay sure it's 3HKO'd by Hurricane (except 3 Hurricanes landing consecutively doesn't happen at least 60% of the time) and after SR be 3HKO'd by Thunderbolt most of the time, but Glowking very clearly 2HKO's back. That's a...
