Thanks for the GP check, changes are implemented!

I'd like to suggest Hatterene and potentially Espeon for the Nice Usage category, helmet Garchomp is easily a top 10 mon in the metagame right now and having Magic Bounce is huge if your team relies on mons that don't like SR, such as Dragonite, Volc, sash Breloom etc. Hatterene is the better of...

long live the belli boi

For Bulk Up Corviknight I want to suggest Drill Peck as either a slash or mention with Iron Head. Drill Peck gives you a better matchup against Annihilape, especially ones that are fast enough to Taunt you, and you also generally have a better time against Scizor and random Water Teras. Iron...

Original post updated with the changes! Thanks for the quick review :)

.../ Aerial Ace item: Choice Band / Assault Vest ability: Technician nature: Adamant evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe tera type: Steel [SET COMMENTS] * Thanks to its high Attack, great defensive typing and solid bulk, Scizor is an effective bulky pivot that can also punish faster foes with...

Could I reserve Scizor?

The text in the tera types section for the first set says "Steel turns Annihilape's Steel and Fairy weakness into resistances" but Annihilape isn't weak to Steel. Did it mean "Psychic and Fairy weakness"?

Here's the team I hit master ball with this season: https://pokepast.es/ddd9b5f9b4b3ae20 I'm pretty satisfied with it overall. Having a defensive dark type is great with so much ghost spam running around, and skeledirge can shut down entire teams if they aren't adequately prepared for it...

Spitballing this idea, caveat I have not tested this at all. Maushold @ Choice Scarf Ability: Technician Tera Type: Normal 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Population Bomb - Sleep Talk - Copycat Utility revenge killer. You want to be clicking Population Bomb 99% of the time already so...

I came just shy of making reqs but after spending a ton of time on ladder playing both with and against Vanilluxe, I'm leaning tentatively towards ban. Why Vanilluxe centralizes the tier in a different way from centralizing threats in other tiers Plenty of tiers are centralized. Usually tiers...

:sceptile: UR -> C+ Sceptile is a very capable late game cleaner when it can get set up. Even when running Adamant it can outspeed the entire tier bar Raichu Alola. A good grass STAB in Leaf Blade backed by Swords Dance lets it score OHKOs on both Vaporeon and Mudsdale after a boost, and...

Hiya! I'm really glad to see this team lineup, you're having success with a lot of elements I tried to fit on various HO squads but just never quite managed to get right. In particular I have been trying to fit Toxicroak but was just never quite manage to get the right set. It was the air...

I fully agree with Chimp here, a wish passer Clef will really help squeeze the most out of ttar. I think opting for Aromatherapy for its 4th slot will be ideal, since your team relies on ttar and exca a lot for offense you really don't want them to get ruined by a stray burn. You can also fit...

I want to talk about the game between teal and talah, specifically the really cool team that Teal brought. I think this was a really cool and innovative take on HO that's well adapted to the current fat meta. Here are some thoughts I have: The presence of Weezing-Galar was the most unique thing...

Hey! I think that conk+goon is a really smart anti meta core that will have a great matchup against a lot of the slow, fat teams that are running around right now. I think there are a few things you can do to improve it though. The biggest weakness I see in your team is fast stuff that can...

This is a really great primer on the basics of HO. Excellent post! For those thinking of trying it out, some great win-cons to base a team around in this meta are :gyarados:, :kommo-o: and :hawlucha:. Great mons to consider for any HO team are :mew:, :excadrill:, :bisharp: and :grimmsnarl:.

In full agreement here. I've been running a team based on Specs Pelipper since I saw it in SPL and it's actually quite strong in this meta. The only thing that hard checks it is Rotom-W (which still doesn't like to switch in on Weather Ball much) and that's been quite uncommon lately. It's hard...

Here's a couple I think could be included. :weavile: Ice shard :aegislash: Offensive pivot I think everything else has been mentioned already.

I can't weigh in on what's better for defensive Kommo-o, but I have a few hundred games under my belt with Clanger Kommo-o and I feel fairly confident that Soundproof is the superior ability for that set. Clanger is used almost exclusively on HO teams as a win condition, where it usually sits...
