    Announcement On The Radar v2

    I recently started playing again after dengo's departure and finally found some enjoyment, and enough insight to give my opinions on these mons TL;DR :Baxcalibur: :Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: :Sneasler: - QB these three. :Tapu Lele: - Suspect Test :Iron valiant: - No Comment/No action (right now at...

    . People still like its whole CB Tera Dark shenanigans and while it can be annoying at times I still feel that its just not all that amazing especially versus offense and even defensive teams with a bulky (Tera) Fairy can make the user second guess clicking Hyper Space Fury. I haven't played...

    Announcement SV National Dex Suspect 7: Gold Chains

    First, I personally feel that the fling set is pretty gimmicky when stuff like Tera Blast Ground can also be used to dispatch stuff like Pex as well but more importantly many people knew that the Kingambit ban was going to lead to both pult and Dengo getting suspect tested (with both of these...

    Announcement SV National Dex Suspect 7: Gold Chains

    I don't usually write on suspect tests, but this pokemon is one that is incredibly overbearing and one I truly dislike in this meta. Gholdengo's GaG ability in combination with its Ghost/Steel typing makes it difficult for slower, bulkier styles to handle due to it blocking a wide variety of...

    Although I definitely agree with others that Moon(and luna) should be tested I think this is very much true. Moon was banned in the era of a stupid HO supports like Cyclizar and Deo-S and also 1.5x booster. Should it be retested? Of course, but I don't think it's a pressing issue especially with...

    Wow, I got off work not even knowing the suspect had concluded, or the outcome. The only thing i have to say regarding it is, ggwp. Anyway get rid of Gambit, Pult, Dengo. Pretty obvious but Gambit and Pult are essentially a pair and Dengo becomes even more stupid without the two so... (and...

    Tera in National Dex: Where do we stand now?

    My current thoughts on tera are vastly different from when the generation first started. I can admit, that tera does add another layer of strategy and excitement to the game to an extent, and I genuinely enjoy making some fun sets with tera. However, ultimately I feel that this mechanic is still...

    I'd like to share some quick thoughts on some of the bans and give some of the biggest winners of said bans. :Regieleki: - The mon I'm most glad to see gone. Hard to defensively answer and even harder to deal with offensively especially if you lack strong priority. :Magearna: - A mon I'm...

    Could work but e-seed gives the same boost, while being able to run a better mon overall in the meta (Koko) which can set up screens and enables other mons outside of espathra (eleki/screen abusers) - Lol. Although tera can be fun at times I really do think it's a silly mechanic that should've...

    I hope all of you had a merry merry christmas! Especially to bosskick2512 who gave me the (dis)pleasure of making a team with a Minun + Swanna Core! This was a very unique yet fun challenge so thank you for this :) I also made three teams for sadly not posting this on Christmas Day. I wasn't...

    Not gonna answer all of the questions (maybe later) due to time constraints, but I do want to answer some that interest me. 2. :Gholdengo: Gholdengo is definitely a staple on Offensive playstyles. Being a great abuser of all of screens/webs/and hazards while blocking majority of the counterplay...

    This meta has been INCREDIBLY volatile, and honestly even worse than I predicted in the theorymonning thread. However, I made this fun team that helped against a lot of the bullshit. Introducing... Houndstone Sand Sand in my opinion is an amazing weather thanks to how much of the meta it...

    Metagame [SPOILERS] Generation 9 National Dex Discussion

    Alright, Gen 8 National Dex was truly a great experience. I enjoyed the variety of teams I could run, the bans and metagame shifts we've had, and more. Truly a great time :) As for Gen 9 Natdex... we got some threats. As much as I was anticipating another fast ghost type (since our current...

    Metagame [SPOILERS] Scarlet & Violet OU Discussion [BAN LIST POST 626]

    Been lurking the thread for a bit and decided to share my own opinions on some of the mons. Most of it is going to be me echoing what's been said before so don't expect any hot takes. Flutter Mane - LMAO what is this mon doing bro. 135/135 offenses is insane and it has one of the best possible...
