Hello gamers, with PL ended it's time for another tiering survey. We've heard your cries during the last 8 months of silence, and will be generally increasing the amount of surveys we hold going forward. 1v1 council values community input when tiering, and we could have been a lot more on top of...
I'd say if your only physical move is Fake Out/Rapid Spin (I'm sure there are others), it should still just suggest a -Atk nature. I can't imagine there's anyone out there who cares about the damage on those moves for special attackers

Out of the tour so it's time for round 2 of ORAS post. Brain is fried after brainrotting on setcomp update for many hours today so post is a little snappy but yeah- ORAS! This time no revolutionary new tech, but refinements of things that already existed or fun alternate sets for meta mons that...

If you haven't...
Edit: This post is about the "consistent" sleep implementation in modern gens, I don't feel qualified to speak on gens like RSE where sleep can go up to a thousand turns. Any "blanket" solution should only apply to gens 5+
I don't disagree that the current partial ban on inaccurate sleep feels...
I meant 3:30pm your time is the earliest I can do, and then any time until you go to bed. The exception is I can't play saturday at all, and I can't play friday after 8:30pm your time. Otherwise as long as you don't happen to schedule for my dinner time or whatever I should be good
