    Metagame Frantic Fusions (New resources @ Post #387)

    Maybe not the best set, but this thing deserves to be used! Garchomp (Dusknoir) @ Leftovers Ability: Rough Skin Tera Type: Fairy EVs: 252 HP / 20 Atk / 40 Def / 196 SpD Careful Nature - Shadow Sneak - Pain Split - Curse - Destiny Bond

    (Pokémon) Honchcrow

    Honchkrow is a gimmicky little Pokemon; it can be really good, but it is extremely frail. This particular set can be extremely frustrating to play against: With Swagger being legal, Honchkrow is a force to be reckoned with; the attack stat can easily rack up, and with Mirror Herb being...

    Man... I wish/hope this project is still being updated. I would love to get my hands on this.

    Metagame Broken Record

    I think you would be better off replacing Iron Defense with Shell Smash and going Contrary with this thing, so you can buff both defenses. Not sure how good it would be (probably C or so). Since you're running rest, chances are you're planning on playing against mons that won't be OHKOing you...

    Metagame Cross Evolution

    With Gen 8 Cross Evolution up and running as this month's OMotM, I've decided to share a couple fun sets. :Porygon2: -> :Machamp: (No Guard) :Ponyta: -> :Gyarados: (Intimidate) :Slowpoke: -> :Toxapex: :Haunter: -> :Gardevoir:(Trace) ??? -> :Butterfree: (Compound Eyes)

    Metagame BDSP NU (Mesprit Ban @ Post #111)

    Yeah, EQ is just not worth it on Dusknoir in general. You're better off playing with Pain Split/Wisp mechanics.

    Metagame Scalemons

    Talk of Naganadel has been quiet or non-existent, but I think it deserves a mention - it's one hell of a threat.

    Metagame Nature Swap

    Doublade @ Focus Sash Ability: No Guard EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Hasty Nature - Swords Dance - Sacred Sword - Shadow Claw - Iron Head Also, Absol has the potential to be pretty good. Its attack and speed can be swapped, and it sports the moves and stats to run either...

    Metagame STABmons

    Please consider re-evaluating Snorlax's ranking. I believe it deserves a solid A or even an A+. It's reasonably versatile, and it can perform many jobs well. Even though we've seen it used as a physical sweeper, it can round out any stall or bulky team very nicely, thanks to it's ability to...

    I think you should take into account moveset diversity.

    Metagame Last Will

    This meta's no fun with the choicelock fix.

    Metagame Last Will

    Rain Haven't really seen a lot of discussion about this, but rain teams are super solid in this meta; so many Pokemon can use Rain Dance that wouldn't normally fit, and can make for excellent suicide leads. Choice Specs Omastar is super viable. Mamoswine @ Choice Band Ability: Thick Fat EVs...

    Metagame Camomons

    Silvally's type won't change without a memory plate. Somebody might wanna fix that.

    What's it like where you live?

    They're still adorable; they're just like feisty little balls of fur.

    What's it like where you live?

    I live in Roseburg. There are a lot of trees here, I guess, which is cool.
