I just battled a Great Tusk that used Booster Energy, it says here that it is banned. Am I missing something?

It's not Beat Up I have a problem with, it's Freeze hax...

I'm just gonna say it, freeze hax is an absolute joke. Something needs to be done about it, I don't know what. But I was just 6-0 by a Weavile that had Beat Up with probably Ice Beam in the Item slot that froze most of my mons and then managed to sweep me because of hax. I am officially not...

I think that the Thundurus was carrying a Lagging Tail. As far as I know, the Lagging Tail affects the second turn of Fly and thus making it go last each turn it hits. With Prankster Copycat always going first and the second turn always being last, Magearna would indeed be stuck in a loop...

It's in Alphabetical Order, not order of likelihood. The likelihood of seeing the mon is the highest for Tapu Lele as is the number of times seen. This is from the start of the month.

Hey everyone! So, played 52 battles and have recorded the times I saw each mon being used. There are some random ones, but there's an obvious few that are everywhere. Please do have a look, it may be helpful to identify threats in the current meta. To see the mons, you then only need to know...

I'm echoing this post and agreeing that Moody should be banned like normal. Here's a replay of a really bad rain team I'm trialing with a random Snorunt with Moody. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8350cup-1435617262 Good on the person I was playing for sticking it out the whole way! But...

Sleep - That's a smart idea, it was getting silly. Weather - I have read all of the above arguments and I totally see how keeping the Harsh Weathers would balance the weather wars, BUT I strongly believe that it's extremely unfair to a multitude of unused mons to keep Harsh Weather in the meta...

Personally, I totally understand where you're coming from as there are counters to it, with the main two being Delta Stream and the other weather. Despite this, I agree with the original point that they should be banned. There is a good argument for counters to it, but the issue isn't that...

Guys, am I doing something wrong? I can't get it to work, this is the team, but I have two rough skin users so it should be legal, no? :(

Thank you all for replying so quick! Thank you for the clarification. Although I've got to admit, Regenerator is literally everywhere. Maybe restricting it to just one mon can have it on a team? It's mindless switching that's ruining it for me.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the opposing team shouldn't be able to have double prankster and double triage? https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8multibility-1428153299 It says in the intro to this meta: Clauses: 2 Ability Clause: You may use no more than two of any ability. This...

I apologise about my rant before, I just hate seeing such an amazing metagame ruined by something. In response to yourself: 1. Bulk If I'm honest, I don't agree with it just being part of the meta. I don't see this issue as much at all in Mix and Mega. I have an excel document with all the...

UPDATE Okay seriously though. Bulk is DISGUSTING in this meta. Most high ladder is just pure bulk. I just battled a very well put together team that relies on pure bulk. Not a single offensive mon. I just feel that the meta could be improved SO much if we just banned a few things. I'm not...

Okay, so I'm gonna be honest here. I fricken love this meta, it's maybe my favourite of all time. BUT I'm officially bored. It's the same mons again and again and again and again. Toxapex is too good. Regieleki is too good. Magearna is ridiculous. Snorlax is great. I mean I could go on. I...

I actually saw that video when it was uploaded! It's a fantastic tech and have used it before in other metas too. But thank you for the strat! It's very potent! :) Edit: Dark typing in general seems to be wrecking Trick Room Teams so thanks for the inspiration!

Here are my thoughts on the Light Ball / Thick Club subject: Light Ball - It's already been said in the past few posts, but to reiterate: it takes very little to knock out Pikachu and it can't really switch on anything without fear of being ko'd. It's priority is fantastic (I mean, I have...

I second this notion. I thought this a few months back when it was playable. Even with it inheriting Zacian's stats now instead, the mon itself is imo, too centralising. Like you said, when it's literally seen in 9 out of 10 battles, it makes teambuilding very uninteresting and forces you to run...

Love these sets and they have lots of power! But what annihilates this core is any kind of Pixilate Extreme Speed / Fake Out or Triage Draining Kiss set. Maybe something to deal with impending attacks like these? Cool sets though! :)

So I'll go through some of your ideas and add some of my own: Sand Stream: Weather in general is OP but with Sand and Hail in this meta is great, you can ruin Endure mons instantly. But the issue I am having with the ones I come across is they are just not utilising berries. It's just normal...
