Mega Metagross is actually far easier to check than Mega Lopunny. While it has the potential to nail its switch ins with the appropriate coverage move, it is extremely prediction reliant. The consequences of MegaGross predicting wrong is actually very high too considering common threats like...

Never liked this thread due to the amount of bandwagon and theorymon. But guess that I'm so bored right now so I'll write something. Mega-Lopunny: Disagree with this dropping. Tbh the risk of using M-Loppuny is even lower when compared with M-Metagross. Mega Metagross while can theoretically...

What you called 'counters' can be stalled out of Ice Beams/Stone Edges simply by SubRoost lol.

I think Shed Shell at least deserves a mention since Clefable is helpless against both MegaGar and Goth. It doesn't actually fare well against Goth at all unless it carries Calm Mind or Goth can simply pp stall it out.

Can everyone just stop fucking portray XY Ubers as a dark metagame just because you don't like the Shadow Tag suspect. I seriously fail to see how 'dark' the suspect tsst is tbh. I also don't see the problem of requiring paragraphs and reject them since apparently many people don't know what...

Nah It's bad

Shadow Tag: Ban Shadow Tag removes the choice of switching and the effect of it directly affects the outcome of the match. Shadow Tag removes autonomy from player's hand thus removing skill from the game. The whole Shadow Tag thing just makes team matchup, which is not related to how good are...

Just WoW/Sub/Hp fire then win in the matchup, or lose the matchup if your STag poke isn't prepared for it. Mgar doesn't need to play perfectly do win as long as its set is prepared for the specific pursuit trapper. STag prone pokemon cannot hit the STag poke hard as they will be trapped if...

Uncompetitive stuffs do not need to reliably do their job to be uncompetitive. In fact, uncompetitive things are never reliable as from definition. The outside force in the case of Shadow Tag is team matchup. The cases you mentioned are not really realisitic seeing that no viable pokemon can...

There is a reason that Confuse Ray is not banned but Swagger is. Swagger actually has a way to abuse which requires the user to have some knowledge to the move and the metagame. But just with the 'minimum skill level', worse players can beat better players with Swagger abuse which Confuse Ray...

Then that's the player's fault to not prepare for Fire Blast Ekiller. I didn't bother to write that much on that particular example but the lack of ghost coverage (or ground, but Earthquake is far too useful) allows many more things to wall Ekiller. Nothing stops you from running Giratina-O +...

I disagree. While Shadow Tag can be executed by both players as being 'the best strategy', the issue is even both players use Shadow Tag, it doesn't mean the game is 'fair'. In fact, the outcome of the match will depend on the matchup between the Shadow Tag teams. I will illustrate it with an...

not laddering for one whole day confirmed to be the best method of laddering.

Mega Gengar is an unhealthy force in the Ubers metagame. It’s ability to remove switches is the main reason causing it to be uncompetitive. While Mega Gengar does take certain skill level to use, it exaggerates team matchup’s influence on the game’s rather than the players’ skill. Unlike what...

你是國人吧

I didn't feel like making another post for a while coz I'm rely lazy but I think that there are something to be said before the vote. The point is there is zero way to solve the problem unless you are changing the game mechanics. Yes, in a Pokemon game, more often than not hax occurs...

Laddering makes me so tired lol.

As a stall player primarily, I obviously hated Mega Gengar (actually I hate goth more but it isn't the suspect now) as well as Shadow Tag. In my opinion, Shadow Tag is the core of the problem rather than Mega Gengar so I will mainly talk about Shadow Tag here rather than the suspect. Shadow...
