I'm really happy to see Unaware banned. Set up mons are actually useable now, so way more mons and sets just became viable. On the topic of FurScales, I'm not really sure if it's broken or not. I'm leaning towards not. FurScales, compared to other strategies, absolutely requires the use of a...

The problem with stall is not FurScales. FurScales is a good, omnipresent strategy on every stall team, but it isn't broken. What IS broken about stall at the moment is Unaware. There are two huge parts of this ability that make it extremely broken. 1: Set up based stallbreaking is impossible...

When you keep around a few very clearly broken mons/strats that begins to become the only thing you see, especially on high ladder. Banning a few things actually ENABLES far more. Example, Unaware ban making every set up sweeper actually viable. I personally try to be as conservative as possible...

Yeah, I agree. I didn't mean to say it should be banned, just looked at AFTER both Unaware and Simple are banned. Really, Unaware is the enabler of stall teams. It removes the oldest and simplest way of breaking fat mons, which is set up moves. I do agree with you that HO would run rampant, I...

I think everyone here is realizing just how annoying stall is in this meta. We have a tier where you cannot use attacking moves and somehow this tier is still more stally than that. I don't think stall is "broken" because there are definitely ways to beat it, but they all require huge team...

You don't really need ice beam, water flying is atleast neutral against everything other than Chinchou. Maybe U-Turn instead. There's really almost no time that you'd want to use ice beam. Also I would experiment and see if Rain Dish or Hydration is better. Making Wingull immune to para could...

Lotad is bound to get weakened by the time Trapinch comes out so it should be fairly easy. I would replace Lotad with LO Wingull, since rain boosted scalds and perfect accuracy hurricanes are pretty nice. Plus, it should outspend everything if you have webs up.

For starters, there's no reason to run choice band or choice specs in LC because Life Orb gives pretty much the exact same damage rolls. Get rid of Arrokuda's health IVs so it hits 19 health, making it only take 1 damage every turn instead of 2. The team is really weak against Fightspam, since...

Reworked. Nerfed the power, buffed the speed, gave back more reliable dark type STAB. Although Absol would have STAB Zen Headbutt that would make switching in Zacian scary.

You're totally right, may he rest in peace. A moment of silence.

I had used Oddish on a webs team in order to help against the Sun matchup post-Cherubi banning. It did the job fairly well and I mostly just used it to dodge Sleep Powder. Eventually I just used Munchlax because it just did more for my team. I would say it's pretty much outclassed...

Wynaut really isn't consistent enough at all. From most games I've played, against and using it, it just does very little. Half the time I just see myself outplaying it by doing something like use sd or sub or anything when it expects me to attack, or the other way around. It's almost a coin...

Vulpix and the sun abusers aren't broken by themselves. In my opinion, ban heat rock instead. If you want to nerf sun heavily but not remove a mon who is only broken under specific circumstances, just remove heat rock. Sun teams need to get as much value as they can every turn to finish the game...

Trick is not assistable as all moves involving the switching/moving of items (other than knock off i guess), cannot be called by assist.

Is this a glitch? What happened here? This hawlucha wth entrainment somehow made my victini's v-create fail, giving him a completely free switchin. However, it did not work against my magearna's thunderbolt. I think it had something to do with magearna not activating entrainment for some...

This looks like a really cool format. Is strength sap legal? That could make some really powerful pivots. I was also thinking about just how powerful trick room could be now that setting it up isn't that difficult. Plus, how does skill swap work?
