Personally I'm a big fan of Power Herb Meteor Beam Mega Diancie in this meta. Nothing, including the three Hoenn Legends (so long as Kyogre isn't scarfed), is very comfortable switching into a modest Meteor Beam other than legendary steels of which I'm only seeing mostly Zacian's which is forced...

It's a visual bug AFAIK tied to how moves aren't shown to have their types properly swapped on move preview in battle. You'll do full damage if hitting with an originally physical move and half if hitting with an originally special move. It would be a nice QOL change if they did show properly...

I topped out at like 6 on the ladder so I thought to share the team I used here :Primarina: :Dragapult: :Iron Treads: :Zacian: :Kyurem-black: :Sinistcha: I don't got much profound to say about this team other than a few things -:Primarina: Primarina is easily one of the best mons in the tier...

It's main thing is physical boomburst off a huge attack stat everything else is kinda malleable from there. Drain Punch gives sustain, Bulk Up gets you set up, Jet Punch is still valuable even off it's special attack (geez it has 106 special attack??) as a cleaning tool, Ice Beam hits pult which...

It feels like more or less like a worse Kyurem B at least on paper. Near zero defensive utility outside of raw stats alongside being slow as molasses w/ no speed boosting or recovery. TR isn't any better really in this format either so it either needs to self tr or a dedicated TR setter both of...

I'm having a good amount of fun playing BHUU this ladder rotation. Laddered with this team to a peak of 1314 (I got a teensy bit higher but only have proof for this high) :Gyarados-Mega: :Sceptile-Mega: :Altaria-Mega: :Metagross-Mega: :Arceus-Fire: :Salamence-Mega: Anyways I'm having fun...

Now that the OM is tragically over and the last (presumably) slate of bans for the cycle are done here's the team I ended up peaking (1500ish) with before dropping while playing jank :Kommo-o: :Samurott-Hisui: :Corviknight: :Volcanion: :Greninja: :Dragapult: Team is more or less self...

Dropping a fun little set now that Gren is unbanned Dollar Store :Greninja-Ash: Greninja-Bond (M) @ retaliate Ability: Battle Bond Tera Type: Water EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Hydro Pump/Surf - Ice Beam - Grass Knot/Water Shuriken/Sludge Wave - Dark Pulse...

Of course when I post a team it immediately becomes outdated. Good riddance if I'm being honest though. One less set Dragapult can run! Volt Switch is an interesting unban too since it's users are a bit more narrow than u-turn or flip. :Raging Bolt: Can pivot with prio using thunderclap or...

I've been playing far, far too much Fortemons than one should and post all the bannings (the team I had the most success with has 4/6 members banned now) I've been having a lot of fun with this team more or less centered around Pecharunt. :pecharunt: :Giratina-origin: :cinderace: :Kommo-o...

Here's a kinda fun set I've been messing around with, Archladon at Home :Kommo-o: Kommo-o @ bodypress Ability: Soundproof Tera Type: Dragon EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Iron Defense - Draco Meteor - Drain Punch - Iron Head Kommo has a surprisingly...

Noticed this a little while ago but got around to testing it just now. It seems like Assurance as a forte does not interact as one would expect with Triple Axel. The third hit of the attack doesn't gain any extra damage as normal and hits for the same range as the second. The assurance boost...

A very 'interesting' interaction I've found is that Sheer Force mons with a forte that gives them added effects will not have recharge turns when using Giga Impact and presumably other recharge moves. I've used it to honestly kinda middling success on a Tera Normal Physical Breaker Lando-I but...

This meta is borked after HOME + DLCs. Weather reigns supreme and will probably need some degree of addressing when this OM comes around again. I'm super into sand in particular so here's some buffs it got with the new mons :Excadrill: This thing is criminal but I shouldn't have to say it...

I heckin love using Magic Guard but much to my dismay the only donator of the ability right now is the mono-fairy clefable and mono-fairy isn't exactly packed to the brim with abusers so the sillies will have to wait for a MG user with better typing to come along................... Hey did you...

With the Evio unban wouldn't Clops be a better base if you just want it to be a defensive nuisance? Pain split and a fat wish passer would help with the lack of recovery. Ghost type curse also seems a bit strange since it's just kinda toxic but it kills you. Wisp is right there. This is my 'be...

Now that the DLC is up on Showdown I took the liberty of creating some fun little sets as contained here: https://pokepast.es/04ba94767454c66a :Gholdengo: So we finally have been graced with the presence of our lord and savior Magic Guard. A stellar offensive and defensive ability it has a...

I had some goofy ideas while half asleep :Moltres-galar: :Braviary-Hisui: Braviary-Hisui (Moltres-Galar) @ Life Orb Ability: Sheer Force Tera Type: Dark EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Hurricane - Fiery Wrath - Shadow Ball - Nasty Plot/Filler...

Meowth Galar really is more of an off tank than a main tank. Its type gives it a useful defensive profile sometimes (mostly into Glimmet and Ekiller) and it has enough natural bulk to live a few hits. It's main role is forcing chip with Fake Out and pivoting with U-turn both of which do solid...

I spent way too long today laddering instead of doing anything productive and hit top 20/1300 elo in the process. Here's my takeaways from the tier right now :Miraidon: A. Miraidon is turbo busted. You play a guessing game where if you click the right button something dies and if you don't...
