    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Indigo Disk]

    Banning sleep is a reactionary take that has little to do at all with the realities of this tier and has only generated the level of discussion it has because of who suggested it. Just drop the next survey and let's suspect Bloodmoon already.

    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Indigo Disk]

    Just to lend a bit of support to Trichotomy's point and perhaps shed a bit of additional color on why people are this baffled, I made this exact comparison back in this thread in December. Similarly apt is Trich's Archaludon-Celesteela comparison. It's an frustrating glue mon that works as a...

    Doesn't really track with the numbers. The qualified pool of players in the survey (e.g. the pool of players from where suspect voters are far more likely to be pulled from) felt stronger about tiering action on Gouging than did the general playerbase, which also felt pretty strong. This isn't...

    Resource Monotype Viability Rankings [March 2024]

    I think the upper reaches of the playerbase can have its head in the clouds w/r/t why people specifically newer players consult the VR and how that shapes an understanding of why mons "should" have certain placements. The ephemera of tour play just isn't terribly relevant to what a casual player...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    lol As in on the street, in Twitch lobbies, Discords, other online spaces. I never once suggested *you specifically* are frustrated with Nintendo. If I were looking to do so or directly engage your argument I would've replied you directly. I didn't. I'm simply sharing my observation on the...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    We're so beyond the pale w/r/t moral relativism as cultural zeitgeist that gamers en masse are providing intellectual justification for plagiarism and then claiming at alternating turns that either a) it's not plagiarism ("parody") or b) that the plagiarism doesn't matter because, well, fuck...

    boomp611 is absolutely right. No way is Coalossal D. Likewise for Iron Boulder being anywhere other than S. Garg has fallen out of favor with most of the few competent Rock builders transitioning to offense. Doesn't even look right next to the other mons in A tier. C is probably a better fit...

    Sun Dragon is a solution for a problem the tier (at least w/r/t ladder play) doesn't have right now, which is a plethora of super fat builds. Ironically enough it was much more playable prior to RB/GF with just Cyclizar + Specs Wake + RM. Cyclizar losing Shed Tail killed this build, especially...

    ^ Nor is it particularly hard to get rid of Darks given the amount of support you have from mons like Gallade (also beats most Steels) Hatterene, Gardevoir, and Iron Boulder, the last of which creeps both Greninja and Meowscarada. If you find that Regieleki Deoxys-S isn’t dumb enough alone you...

    If I picked up Scarlet today would I be competitive to battle and catch these by the 7th?

    SPOILERS! Indigo Disk Discussion

    I just want to know more about Heath's encounter and what the hell Walking Wake, Raging Bolt, Gouging Fire // Crown, Leaves, Boulder are. We might have to wait for the anime to shed new light, TBH.

    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Indigo Disk]

    I'm predisposed towards thinking the issue is Cyclizar rather than Shed Tail in this specific meta context given that: Orthworm into Kingambit and Gholdengo is cheesy but not nearly as free or spammable as Cyclizar is given Cyc's immense utility and role compression (Regenerator, Knock Off...

    nah tier :kyurem-black:: silly, never should have been released :booster energy:: paradoxes are too fast and a number of them effectively become unrestricted scarfers :solgaleo:: cm sets are unkillable and agility weakness policy sets are free wins when terrain is active :smooth rock::7 turns...

    Think Gouging Fire carries some utility for Fire teams as the strongest Sun breaker we've seen yet. Just some random calcs against some shitty defensive spreads: 252+ Atk Choice Band Protosynthesis Gouging Fire Raging Fury vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Quagsire in Sun: 231-272 (58.6 - 69%) --...

    SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet Leaks Thread - Data/Mechanics

    I don't think people understand how strong Gouging Fire is clicking Fire moves under Sun. Every mon in the game that isn't a quad resist will take significantly more from a resisted Flare Blitz than they will from an Outrage. And then it gets EQ, Stone Edge, DD, Scale Shot, etc...
