I think the main thing I've noticed playing is that virtually all of the top tier restricted Pokémon I'm seeing are the ones that have strong, spammable spread moves: Groudon, Calyrex-Ice, Calyrex-Shadow, Kyogre, Terapagos (I am not saying Kyurem-White I do not think it is that great). There's...

I kind of wanted to go over my experience with Zacian so far since I don't think I've seen it been discussed much: I've been having fun with Zacian + Ting-Lu/Dondozo stuff these first two days. Ting-Lu/Dondozo sounded appealing with Dondozo being able to handle Calyrex-Ice very well and Ting-Lu...

I think people are going to focus too much on sun stuff at first... Iron Treads stands out to me a lot with a fast Iron Head/EQ/Rock Slide coverage.

wow is that THE DaWoblefet in Jwittz's video?! what a legend

I almost want to drop Xerneas from A+ to A with the introduction of Z moves... Much easier to deal with using things like Groundium Z Groudon or Lunalium Z. However, Xerneas is still Xerneas, and is still stupidly strong if you let it set up. I support Lunala moving up to A+ with its Lunalium Z...

As you mentioned, the most unorthodox Pokemon I see is the Rhyperior. It has an extremely slow Speed stat and you aren't giving it Trick Room to allow it to move first. It has an incredibly low Special Defense stat which makes it incredibly vulnerable to restricted Pokemon such as Kyogre...

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-731376801 I got a double Explosion turn 3... I also Perish Songed myself prior to that when I didn't have the slowest Pokemon... please end my suffering

I don't see the big deal in wanting a ban on Imprison. This is a Metronome ladder. It isn't some highly competitive format. It's basically entirely RNG other than the teambuilding aspect. You're going to hax others/get haxed on all the time.

Having a lot of fun on this ladder, lol. Here's what I've been using. These hips (Magearna-Original) @ BrightPowder Ability: Magic Bounce EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Metronome don't lie (Magearna-Original) @ BrightPowder Ability...

I do feel like it's started to settle a little bit although it still feels relatively volatile; I feel like there are a lot of things that could still pop up and work really well. As a result I don't really think there's a big 6 of this meta as no one core feels as dominating as big 6 did in...

Change Protect on your Tyranitar to Ice Punch. Protect isn't a good move to lock yourself into with a Choice item. You have Initimidate support and 2 Fighting resists to help you against Fighting moves. Ice Punch is useful against Landorus-T/Mega Salamence/Grass types like Tapu Bulu, Amoonguss...

I bring a notepad to events... Though I don't tend to use it during the set itself I use it more to keep track of what I've played. It can be helpful if I top cut and have to play an opponent again though as a refresher on what that person was using. Anyway I suppose a quirk I have when I go to...

The big issue with Belly Drum is that it cuts your health in half. Redirection isn't perfect because spread moves exist and Tailwind isn't perfect either because other forms of speed control exist, Protecting CharX's attacks, etc. It's too much risk not enough reward unlike Dragon Dance...

[OVERVIEW] * With a low base speed of 30, Snorlax functions very well under Trick Room as one of the slowest Pokemon in VGC. Snorlax notably speed ties with Amoonguss. * With its ability Gluttony, Snorlax is able to eat a pinch berry (Aguav, Iapapa, Figy, Wiki, Mago) at 50% rather than 25%...

I would like to reserve Snorlax.

Oh haha, yeah I didn't think about Charizard. Thanks!

Pretty drastically. Mega Kangaskhan would be a big threat despite its nerfs because it still has very reliable damage and good utility in Fake Out. Mega Charizard Y would provide another strong Fire type that the format is lacking which would threaten Celesteela somewhat though it would struggle...
