With tera being gone for a number of weeks, I think we've had enough time to get at least a basic analysis of the threat levels of some Pokemon and abilities themselves, without the question of whether it's tera pushing them over the edge or not. So I'm making a call out post on my Twitter dot...

Bahaha! I didn't realize that caused you so much damage! Sometimes you gotta fight fire (stall) with fire, and stall causes ME psychic damage. So I gotta bring the pain somewhere. I'd like to share said team though, which I used to peak at 7 with my alt and 10 with my main, though now they're...

Edit: Just now realized MGLO is way better than Boots Tough Claws on Chien-Pao so please use that instead if you don't already have a MG user. LO Claws is still a risky but strong alternative tho. Honestly, I don't think Orichalcum Pulse is that good rn. With PrimSea everywhere and even Snow...

I played a pretty decent amount of AAA last gen, so I'm gonna post some things I've been messing with and brainstorming. Hopefully these sets are interesting and useful lol but this is a new gen. Edit: my dumbass forgot to put Pulse as the ability on Talonflame lol.

Likewise to the above post, it seems Assault Vest Scrafty completely destroyed my team synergy since I couldn't use any status moves whenever it was in, including on my partner pokemon. Naturally that was an instant L as Scrafty+TR setup was DoA. I didn't see any mention of shared item effects...

Partners in crime was somewhat similar, but it shared movesets and abilities with only the active pokemon. It was fun but not very active unfortunately. To prevent an off topic one liner, I've been having a lot of trouble building teams in this meta. A lot of OMs have many threats to account...

Dynamax isn't the worst thing in this meta, but one thing that absolutely irks me is when choiced Pokemon dynamax. Just when you think you can get the one up on them and exploit the one (necessary) weakness choice mons have, they dynamax and your check dies to Max coverage and now you're at a...

Long Shedinja post ahead! I've finally reached 1500+ with my fresh alt, BlessYouChild. But for once I had a goal in mind outside of personal satisfaction; I needed to see for myself just how much Shedinja could sway a game, particularly if you built a team around it. Up until I got to about...

I think for anything with Unburden, it's incredibly important to know WHEN to set up. You only get 1 real chance to use it and if you're forced to switch, your sweeper is kind of neutered for the rest of the game. Unburden is a great ability and helps to imposterproof your sweeper as well, it's...

I think it's important to note that posting a different or strange set isn't inherently a bad thing. However, it's important to think about and acknowledge the flaws in your sets, as well as take all criticism into consideration if you do. This should go without saying but there is almost never...

Work's been extremely busy (retail during the holidays :psysad:) so I haven't been able to really test as much but here's some fun stuff with varying degrees of viability. For anyone using Golisopod, Steelix makes an excellent defensive partner for it. They have near perfect type...

If you really want to keep the vest then I guess go for power whip. It can at least take down opposing water types, which can be good

I don't quite know what you're trying to do with the EVs on these things. Are there specific moves you're trying to survive? And what the heck is with the 95 EVs in def/spdef on Toxtricity? The stat all go up by fours (so 92 or 96 would work). Helmet on Hydreigon is also a little silly when not...

I was already considering Runerigus as a physically bulky support mon but I somehow never even considered the fact that it hard walls imposters that come in on Zekrom. Thank you a loser. I was lurking a lot in Gen 7 but I want to actually contribute stuff this gen so it's nice to see I'm getting...

Just a few sets I've been using that I like. The other sets on my team I'm not super confident in yet (though Regen Parting Shot Wish Seismitoad has worked way better than I ever expected). I'll share more as I test, or if something is so wild and out there that I just need to share it...

Hey everyone, I wanted to share the team I've been using to reach the top of the leaderboards (number 7 behind the 6 different alts of Miy_Yuu lol). It's worked very well for me of course, I've gotten only 3 losses and those were earlier in my use with the team. So here's the team, along with...

After messing around in BH this meta I brainstormed and tested a few sets I thought were interesting and/or anti-meta. This is my first forum post here so go easy on me lol. Of course, suggestions are appreciated. Also a set that I think can counter most physical attackers on paper, but...
