Player Name: Iura Region: US West Formats played: SV / ORAS / BW Are you interested in captaining?: If no one else does, but otherwise no. Forseen inactivity: Dec 1-20 are all of my finals week. School in general. Can find time during 1-20, while studying.

I agree on Conkeldurr being somewhat shaky as a check, but I think it still deserves a spot as it still deals with it relatively well depending on what one or the other is running. And snapped on the non TR setters but man having only two there is unsettling, is there any TR setter I’m...

Just to tack on a few myself Lapras: B+ -> A- :Lapras: Yeah, as Ika already said, this thing is a big part of the normal meta now with its Gmax making its splash and resonating through teams. Conkeldurr: B -> B+ :Conkeldurr: Coincidentally, with Lapras rising in usage and the ever present...

I think adding Brave IV 0 is a fine one, but yeah Adamant 0 IV is finicky due to just being a speed tie with base 60s. If it’s not mentioned, IVs are assumed to be 31, so it shouldn’t be a problem. The only reason Brave 0 wasn’t in before is because from what people ran for 0 EV Speed Vish, it’s...

1. Ok yeah I’ll do that when I wake up. I did forget that. Do I need any other specific categories (I wanted to mention I didn’t put Aegislash for Fairy Resist down since all top 4 fairies have a tendency to slam it with coverage, but seems unnecessary) 2. Sure I’ll add that in, but as a mention...

I mean yes I do take breaks when people start c-teaming, but it’s just a complaint I have nevertheless.

I just hate being counterteamed on ladders like this because eventually, someone is gonna get sick of your shit and change to a mon that smashes yours which is why I alternate between mons every so often. Also, those people who used Legendaries to climb :pikuh::blobtriumph:

Name: Iura Metagames Played: SWSH RU, ORAS RU Foreseeable Inactivity: As long not during class times or big test days, I’m free.

There are actually a ton of ways to tackle this, but they're usually team dependent and I don't mind this for most teams I play. Here's some more stock standard stuff (mostly) for more general cases. Nothing super special, just seeing if I can add to the conversation. The most common Imprison...

Formerly: cellgoondude Formats: Battle Stadium Singles and VGC 2020 If anyone remembers me, hi there :blobwizard:

The Vish survives another day. Yeah having it stay at B is solid cause some teams just straight up don’t have good checks or counters for Vish and they just makes the game tilted heavily towards the Vish’s favor.

Yeah I’ve piloted it to some success depending against what team I’m against, but yeah it’s definitely quite vulnerable to some mons. I haven’t used a Normal STAB yet, so I’ll try it out now next time I run it! Oh but I would’ve assumed Facade would’ve been a nice option too over Crush Claw.

Is Rest not a viable option?

Just wondering, on the Dynamax Sweeper, is it not an option to use Iron Tail for Max Steelspike or is that too redundant for coverage? It does hit a few things, but I guess you’d lose out on winning against Corviknight.

I agree with the sentiment about Ancient Power. Although it was in Doubles, the power of being able to just break unsuspecting opponents with Solar Power Max Rockfall and also set up for Excadrill in the back is something funny to be remembered.

Punk rock is 30% increase, not 50%. Are you sure a Poison STAB move doesn't need a slash anywhere? Also, why are the items not Assault Vest for the Assault Vest set lol?

I’ve had my eyes on some mons that weren’t as relevant as well and I’ve been tinkering with how to play them (Sorry Stonjourner, I don’t know exactly how to build you). Eldegoss @ Sitrus Berry / Aguav Berry Ability: Cotton Down Level: 50 EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0...

Here's every fully evolved (besides Corsola-Galar being there) Pokemon allowed in this tourney with these rules (assuming that only Gen 8 Gigantamaxes are allowed to be used). Edit: Slowpoke-Galar is also on this list.
