I genuinely don't understand how landorus-i got quickbanned with no input from the playerbase, while the council just lets Zygarde, KB and Phero run around ou and ignores everyone's complaints about them. It's like the council genuinely does not care one fucking bit right now, it's absurd. They...

As mentioned in the OP, Zacian-C and Zamazenta-C will only donate the stats of their base forms, not their crowned forms.

Reached Top 20 on the ladder and wanted to share my team and thoughts on the meta. Godly Gift [Gen 8] Team HP: Skarmory is mostly there to defog, and to completely shut down Zacian-C, Excadrill and the like, as well as ditto that copy my own ZC. It's amazingly bulky at +2, taking less than...

So isn't weather (aside from potentially hail) just kinda utterly broken? Six mons that can ALL set their weather, get a speed buff from it, get power boosts and other stuff like that? I mean sure, you could run a cloud nine mon, but literally all of them are straight trash and a waste of a...

Will there be a tier update as well? I don't feel like starting laddering right now if there will be.

OK, Knock Off is insanely broken in this meta. With a 2.25x damage boost to mons with 2 items, and it removes both of them in one hit, it's just ridiculous. I really think either nerfing it to only remove the item slot item and NOT the ability slot item (and by extension, reduce its boost to the...

Kyurem-B and Marshadow need banning basically immediately tbh. Koko is dangerous but i'm on the fence about that one, and Silvally doesn't bother me at all. I've been enjoying using Beak Blast Celesteela a lot, and Searing Shot for my heatran / volcarona bulky sets. Honestly though I can;t...

I'm sorry, but if Gligar is not banned then something MUST be done to reduce its absolute dominance of the metagame. Either ban gyarados as a cross, or complex-ban gligar x gyarados. Seriously, practically every single team uses it because it literally is an dominant as DPP garchomp in ou.

From my limited experience with the current UU meta, all I'll say is that I would be incredibly sad to see it be banned to BL for the fourth gen in a row (not a record you wanna have, really) and I LOVED using it when the SM UU tier was starting up. But as much as I loved using it - note that I...

I would definitely put Hidden Power in the Top 10, and place Stealth Rock unequivocally at #1. While Scald is a relatively recent addition, it and U-Turn have both been incredibly influential as well. Earthquake and Ice Beam have probably been the two most ubiquitous direct damage moves in...

I don't quite understand this pet mod. Why does Klinklang suddenly get access to all of these moves?

So is Dragon Pulse not a viable move for the nasty plot set? I would have thought the strong hit vs all non-uber Dragons would be better than Hidden Power sometimes, as it deals with opponents such as Kommo-o, Hydreigon, Kyurem-B (once Pokebank is released) and other dragons not 4x weak to Ice.

Well this is my first foray into Pokebank OU, post-Power Construct ban anyway, and I've attempted to build a team that can deal with the biggest threats right now (Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Tapu Koko, Tapu Bulu, Toxapex, Greninja, etc.) without being too specific to deal with other standards. Tapu...

Modest natured Vikavolt hits 370 Speed after an Agility, outpacing all but the fastest mons and virtually every non-mega outside of Ubers. Timid hits 406, outspeeding even base 130's like Crobat and Tapu Koko and JUST outpacing base 135s like Timid Manectric. An agility set with LO / focus sash...

I'm really excited to see how this mon fairs once the meta has settles a bit. It unfortunately can't do much in the current state of OU while crap like Aegislash is running around, but I think it will be a great OU spinner. 3 STABs including a damaging trapping move in Anchor Shot is also...

oops, thanks for catching that. i need sleep :P Corrected my post now.

The number of hard checks / counters to this thing is basically limited to Aegislash, Toxapex, Weezing (lol); a couple of odd mons like Chandelure and Alolan Marowak due to their oddly specific resistances; and certain mons with extreme physical bulk investment (Mega Scizor could work)...

It's such a shame that Silvally doesn't get Extremespeed and Recover, like its Legendary counterpart. :( Still, Silvally is definitely one of the most interesting mons of the new generation. Its stat are very reminiscent of Kingdra or the base-100 Mythicals (Mew, etc.) which means very...

Mechanics question: If you are at 100% HP with both an unbroken Disguise and an unbroken Focus sash, does that guarantee you will survive 2 attacks? Or is there some other mechanic I'm missing that nullifies focus sash... because I think if it works, a sash Mimikyu could be a tremendous suicide...

What does this set do that Surf (or Hydro) + Torrent (instead of Liquid Voice + Hyper Voice) doesn't do better? Surf is just as strong as Hyper Voice, Liquid Voice does not boost attack BP, and Torrent will boost Surf / Hydro to huge power levels at low HP for wallbreaking power. Also...
