I think you covered it yourself: Corv is a solid form of counterplay to Gliscor on top of several other Members of the Meta, whether directly or by shifting momentum, since a lot of high level mons are such where they're dangerous if you can't grab a turn against them (Gliscor threatening Toxic...

...it, respectively. Just so happens that the way Mega Rayquaza's built ALSO makes it extremely busted in Go's battle system (like "Solo the Big Bad 5* raids if Flying Weak" level busted), which is basically a golden goose for Niantic in terms of content: It's powerful enough and popular enough...

To which I stand by the response I made because the comparison is flimsy and surface level beyond being moves used by controversial Pokemon. Poe's Law, satirical response, or otherwise, the statement doesn't illuminate anything about the "Ban Tera Blast" conversation so it's a fruitless addition...

What is uncompetitive about Swords Dance or another move you would propose tiering action on? You know this is going to be a much harder sell and far more controversial than the already contentious Tera Blast, so the onus is on you to provide reasoning instead of "how does anyone think this is...

...or emphasizing a problem without a solution or approach proposed. Assertion like this doesn't add to the point beyond seeming to stir sh*t by attacking the voters' instead of their logic Personally I get the frustration with not removing Kyurem or Gliscor, as I don't care for the effect...

So before I get into a reply I want to (re) state one I've had for a while: Why is Jigglypuff's Paradox "Scream Tail" when the extension is off the top of its head like its hair tuft, while Misdreavus's Paradox is "Flutter Mane"? A Mane typically refers to long/thick hair, which Scream Tail's...

Hammers are expensive. Only issue I see with this is Smack Down is a LOT more prediction reliant, since it won't produce significant damage output on its own and you essentially need to tag them on the switch for max Momentum gains. Corv would have time to grab an Iron Defense or take off a...

I think people found the Firmware version Mario & Luigi: Brothership is compatible with is significantly older than most 2024 releases, suggesting the game was completed a good while before its release date would entail, or at least was started on older Dev versions without significant upgrades...

I'm not really seeing it with regards to Darkrai. Volc needs to be on even turn pacing with Darkrai to come out ahead, since Nasty Plot does this to the Bulky set if it comes in as Darkrai is boosting, while +1 Fiery Dance fails to OHKO back. This is not an unreasonable amount of chip damage to...

For the Home challenges that require Regional Origin Dex (i.e. the Meloetta), do the DLC locations count separately for Pokemon that appear in both, or just the game? EX: I didn’t import an Applin since I just mass deposited my boxes for a start. Does the Applin have to come from Paldea or just...

Another new one I'm seeing for Support: Haunter with Tera Grass Clear Smog -> Acid Spray x2 gets it to Tera in the time Torterra evidently takes to pull off a Smack Down -> Ground hit, at which point Haunter hovers over the Ground damage to ignore Tera-Stack damage, while not being weak to it...

So it's bad when they're better and bad when they're comparable to the base form? Doesn't that just leave the ones that are inferior to the base form? Like, Diancie completely changes its playstyle, but that's also because the playstyle of the base form is completely worthless in any context...

My honest guess is that it's a combination of XY being popular with "casual" (i.e. less deep-into-fandom-sites) players of the series, and also ostensibly feeling the most underdeveloped of the main-series titles, in that it clearly was aiming to accomplish things it didn't reach when compared...

The Safari Ball issue seems like a case of deliberate design. People are reporting the catch boost functions similar to Beast Balls (which had a boost on Necrozma unlike MSG so presumably the Ball identifier on the caught mon isn't linked to the catch boost). They are insistent on referring to...

My problem with SuMo is that a slow start is a very quick way to lose players like myself after Gen 6, for all its faults, had you on your way at a decent clip, and the "start small and open things up" approach didn't really pan out for me with Sun and Moon's world design since a lot of the area...

One that I just kind of noticed: Koraidon can learn Meteor Beam, but none of the other Past-Paradoxes can, nor can Miraidon. It's an odd inclusion to me since, gameplay aside, Koraidon doesn't even make much use of its Special Attack or energy looking traits in its animations compared to...

We do have some precedent with Archaludon's Electro Shot, and Rock is already the "primary" Sand type in that respect with the SpD boost. The only caveat I could foresee is maybe GF is fearful of what giving a move like that to certain Sand mons would lead to (Some Gen 7 UBs/Legendaries might...

Forcing Unaware would actually be kind of funny since it would also mean Rayquaza is free to abuse Dragon Ascent without fear of self-debuffs, which might extend to Contrary stats in a way. Either deal with a +6 Offensive Ray or a +6 Defensive Ray.

This is not me being dismissive, I want to genuinely invite this question to rerail things. Since we have had 2 no-Ban Suspects and thus things aren't likely to see a major "legality" shake-up for a while, what have people been experimenting with in OU, be it trying to innovate the top or just...

The secret prize for me is the Chansey outbreaks. I need Item printer fodder to fuel my Rare-Ball-Catch habit. Rayquaza I expect to be pretty easy with most Steel types or Flying-resistant Fairies, though I would bet on Earthquake for the former to keep players honest with using Debuffs at least.
