May I get an explanation for Hatterene, Hisuian Samurott, Walking Wake and Darkrai's placements? I would ask for more as I do love reading these reasonings, but I think four is aplenty.

Real quick, do you still have that ‘OU: The Meta’ meme you made for Gen 9? Iirc it was back in March?

Torkoal (M) @ Heat Rock Ability: Drought Tera Type: Fire / Ghost EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpA Quiet Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe - Overheat - Stealth Rock - Sunny Day - Will-O-Wisp Overheat serves as a surprise nuke, incinerating anything that isn't heavily invested or resistant /...

While Sun might be on the decline and Gouging Fire's not as threatening as it once was, what combination of two Fire moves do you fellow Goug Heads run on it? Heat Crash, Flare Blitz or Raging Fury? Each of them have their own pros and cons. Heat Crash's base power is inconsistent, especially...

I really needed to double take Accelerock and find out if they really gave it to the Nacli line before giving it to Midnight Lycanroc

Magcargo Crowned Zama is locked in Ubers you silly billy Highly agree with the Galarking nom. Chilly Reception screwing with opposing weather setters is the icing on the cake when you're also pivoting out and restoring health with Regenerator while still applying offensive pressure thanks to...

invest in big stall stocks and return toxapex to its former ou glory down with the ho agency now rises big stall

so what I'm hearing is Scarlet fans stay winning I'd put Roaring Moon and Gouging Fire above Raging Bolt in that order respectively. It only takes a single turn for Roaring Moon to steal games, which is helped by the fact that its bulk and Typing is just enough to squeeze in a Dragon Dance and...

I think it was part of, but the addition of the Heavy-Duty Boots, Freeze-Dry, Earth Power, Dragon Dance and Icicle Spear all also shot Kyurem out of irrelevancy and into a bonafide Uber Pokemon. It's basically the same here minus Roost but with the addition of Tera and Chilly Reception.

Question for any other Sun players in the forums; have you ever attempted to fit Sandy Shocks onto a team? It has access to useful moves like Spikes and Volt Switch, but I find it really struggles to find a spot as it's almost always outclassed by Walking Wake as a special breaker or speed control.

I had a stroke trying to read this The OHKO Clause is not 'you can't OHKO any Pokemon', it's 'you can't use OHKO moves because they're uncompetitive'. +1 Proto Acrobatics on Tera Flying Roaring Moon does not OHKO Skarmory. Roaring Moon is proving problematic for the tier and is likely to be...

:roaring_moon: Almost impossible to wall after a Dragon Dance, flexible last slot for things like Taunt or Roost, can't wall with Unaware because of Protosynthesis, bulky enough to get a single Dragon Dance off and cleave through everything after that without priority, which has slightly gone...

Never getting over the fact that Baxcalibur could defensively Tera in front of whatever it wanted despite probably having a losing MU to it, set up a Dragon Dance and then just cleave through the team from there. Tera's ridiculous.

errrm actually Kingambit's Attack stat is 135 :psysly: While I think Kingambit should have been booted from the tier a long time ago, I believe his weird cat (Raging Bolt) is a very good Pokemon, but is not obscenely overpowered. As you mentioned, Raging Bolt lacks the Supreme Overlord that...

On one hand, outspeeding essentially the entire meta after a single Dragon Dance is really cool. On the other, failing to OHKO a healthy Kyurem without Rocks is kind of terrifying and the 3HKO against Dondozo turning into a 2HKO isn't so cool.
