The problem with Bronzong is its extremely niche nature. I have only run into 1 team using it that isn't stall. Bronzong is a good Rocker, but it has no recovery. It doesn't have enough offensive power to do damage outside Body Press or Noise against Tusk. Its defensive stats aren't exactly...

Forum name: ShizuOsaka OLT name: LT123VB ShizuOsaka Does my OLT account follow the rules? Yes.

Yes. It used Terablast. Shadow Claw has a lower attack point, and the crit chance doesn't offer as much as 10 more BP

A lot of times I wonder if the "creativity" of this gen is just coming up with a cheesy set that involves Tera Blast. I have just lost to Tera Ghost DDance Sub Kyurem. I know it's an extremely uncommon set, but I hate how the cheesy nature of gen 9 OU allows such kind of sets to exist. Every...

Idk about Scizor. I feel like it's just a temporary rise that will go back to UU in the next tier shift. It's a good revenge killer yeah, but against the current meta trend, it struggles a lot. 252+ Atk Choice Band Technician Tera Steel Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Ceruledge: 130-153...

Also is this me or has HO become more prevalent once again? I mean yeah, HO has always been a thing in the meta, but ever since the rise of Ceruledge, I find myself running into HO teams much more frequently. The funny thing with Ceru is that a lot of times, you know what it's gonna do anyway...

Hence why Tera is the problem for me. It makes Dragonite from hard to deal with to downright undealable. Same with Kyurem. Tera Fire and Tera Ground make it harder to check defensively because now you have to account for DDance Tera Blast. Without it, they may have to run some flat uninvested...

Tera Normal E-Speed, Tera Fire Scale Shot, Tera Ground EQ + Rock Slide and what else? Tera Ground EQ wasn't even the most popular set of it, so you are left with only two. Dragon Tail and Band set are not something that you have to think of how to deal with when you build your team normally...

I think the only problem for Nite is Tera Blast. Its tera blast ghost set can hit a lot of things like Pecharunt and Twave Ghold, which makes checking it harder. Band set is a good one to catch someone surprised, but I don't think it's the dominating set in the long run. Dragon Tail set is...

Remember when we freaked out with how limited Knock Off, Toxic and Defog distribution was? That was a good time.

I also want to add that without Boots, Pokemon Competitive Single may as well be scrapped. Yeah sure, we see that in gen 6, we have another option for hazard removal named Defog. But even if we ignore the Gholdengo in the room, the metagame has been faster and faster, reeked with myriads of...

At least Scizor has some actual offensive power, unlike Tinkaton relying on Gigaton Hammer to do anything to the opponent.

My man Hoopa-U and Rotom-Wash is in the same viability ranking. Truly a match made in heaven. People need to recognise the ability of Hoopa-U in clicking buttons. Truly phenomenal and spectaculous.

Standard Glowking can wall it, but make sure to keep it healthy enough so it doesn't fall to a predicted Earth Power.

I tried running Thundurus-T a couple of times. While it indeed hits hard, it doesn't have an insanely good speed to catch up with the 350 bench mark or longevity to switch in multiple times (if you run Specs). In addition, electric is as spammable as like Ena's Moonblast, and you need to tera...

I think I will forever be a Hoopa-U guy. I got into top 50 again with Hoopa-U. Maybe the last thing I need to do is actually participating in a big tournament and bring Hoopa-U in

What are your thoughts about Tinkaton? Recently I have tried to use it, but I don't think it has enough steam to keep up with OU anymore. Many of the mons it used to soft-check like Kyurem or Pult have switched their playstyles.

I can only think of Scarf Krai and Scarf Val. Maybe Scarf Rott and Scarf Ghold can threaten it too.

Man, all these talks about Sand makes me miss the Galarian fossil mons. Not Dracovish ofc, but it's Arctozolt and Dracozolt. At least Sand has a decent-ish Sand Rush mon (Excadrill). But Snow? In a gen that they buff Snow, there are only some slow mons with either mono-ice typing (Celtitan and...
