  1. Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v2 [Update on Post #5186]

    I'm not sure if people are exploring this but unlike last gen Zapdos and Volcarona aren't exactly 100% reliable counters because 252 Atk Zamazenta-Crowned Stone Edge vs. 248 HP / 220 Def Zapdos: 188-222 (49 - 57.9%) -- 96.1% chance to 2HKO 252 Atk Zamazenta-Crowned Stone...

    I've theory crafted running Stored Power on the Fillet Away set to obliterate Dondozo. What's Night Slash for anyway? I'd try running this mon but it's just so slow and frail, doubly so after it fillets away and becomes vulnerable to priority. Unfort Edit: Just realized that Night Slash is to...
  3. Data Usage-Based Tier Update for July 2022 (August @ #39) (September @ #58)

    Man :DP/Gyarados: had such a fall from grace. Went from DPP OU threat to bottom tier UU mon to being dropped all the way down in BDSP RU

    On the top of good cores I'd like to suggest :XY/Ninjask: + :XY/Charizard: A simple offensive core. Ninjask U-Turns around and forces physically bulky responses, and Charizard can come in and nuke them with it's powerful special coverage. Among U-Turn resists there are very few who can tank...
  5. Metagame BDSP PU (Grumpig Ban @ Post #71)

    I would like to nominate Charizard to an A Tier Threat :DP/Charizard: Despite a crippling stealth rocks weakness this mon functionally has no counters that can switch into it's sheer firepower. The more popular water types of this tier just can't switch into Charizard's Life Orb boosted air...

    How did :XY/Omastar: rise? I'm confused as to how it rose from the depths of UR
  7. Metagame BDSP NU (Mesprit Ban @ Post #111)

    :XY/Gligar: Double Dance Gligar :XY/Gligar: With Aerodactyl banned from the tier, this set lost one of it's biggest counters that could wear it down. Gligar Ability: Immunity EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Acrobatics - Earthquake - Rock Polish - Swords Dance This set relies on...

    I would like to talk about a pretty underrated option in the metagame that I haven't seen very often. In fact I haven't seen Qwilfish a lot outside of defensive fast taunt sets with spikes and all that good stuff :XY/Qwilfish: Qwilfish @ Life Orb Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252...

    I wouldn't reccomend using Golbat defensively. Even max speed variants are slower than all variants of offensive leafeon which is a concerning threat given its bulk and typing, and it is never forcing out rockers like Golem unless you somehow fit Giga Drain on top of roost defog brave bird
  10. Metagame BDSP RU (Cresselia + Gyarados Ban @ Post #112)

    Gotta say I've been having a lot of success with the Gallade recently :BW/Gallade: Gallade (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Justified EVs: 236 HP / 252 Atk / 20 SpD Adamant Nature - Bulk Up - Drain Punch - Knock Off - Shadow Sneak / Psycho Cut / Subsitute I've managed to get Top 50 on the ladder...

    H-Lilligant is pretty insane Did some calcs on the fly and a banded H-Lilligant destroys anything that isn't something insanely bulky, and stuff that can't resist both just get 2hko'ed. Turns out Hustle is an insane ability, and it's often restricted to pre-vo's for a reason. 252 Atk Choice...

    Being a fat normal type completely immune to any attempt to focus blast or aura sphere it is pretty massive.
  13. Metagame BDSP UU (Celebi banned @ Post #103)

    Been having a lot of fun with banded scizor. with 110 base attack and STAB, this is the strongest U-Turn you can get in the tier, and it can lead to some insane momentum to let in powerful breakers. Scyther @ Choice Band Ability: Technician EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature -...

    You know that Lax set is incredibly strong, swapped the HP evs for defense EVs and it managed to live a guts boosted close combat and KO back with a powerful facade and caused the opponent to forfeit as figgy activated. With screens this seems even stronger so I decided to make a core of dogs...
  16. SS OU BROKEN XATU (PEAK 1801 70.3% GXE)

    No problem, I can definitely agree with people suspecting mirror coat zone in higher ladder creating something that could considered worse than a Sucker Punch standoff since Heatran has all the time in the world to to get leftovers recovery, and zone needs to keep attacking to stop Heatran from...
  17. SS OU BROKEN XATU (PEAK 1801 70.3% GXE)

    I tried this team some more, but I noticed that this team is rather weak to Taunt or Subsitute Hawlucha, Every member on this team is taken out by +2 Acrobatics/Close Combat(Even Tapu Fini), except for Garchomp, who can only Toxic it. Xatu can live a +2 Acrobatics and try to thunder wave it, but...

    As the person who nommed this I can definitely agree on these points. It's often-times a lead against teams that are inclined to lead common Pokemon such as Landorus, Tornadus, Garchomp, Dragapult, Tapu Koko, etc, and can capitalize on their switch as very few Pokemon will stay in T1, it's speed...

    Might be pretty conditional, but Rillaboom can actually defeat offensive Dragonites if they're adamant and chipped, taking it out with a powerful wood hammer from around half health(75% with rocks!) due to the incredible sheer force the move and Rillaboom's bulk enables it to live a rather up...
