High horsepower on rillaboom is better than earthquake because grassy terrain halves the power of earthquake

While these mons may get better if zapdos leaves, I think they will still be balanced because skarmory and heatran will also drop. While lokix and scizor can click u-turn into skarm without fearing static, skarmory can run rocky helmet to try and punish them in a similar way. Heatran may also...

It hasn’t been a big issue for me really. You do have to keep it in mind throughout the entire game but if you position carefully against it and don’t let it in for free then it’s pretty easy to beat. It also struggles to fit all of the tools it wants. It needs leaf storm and glare, it really...

:Arcanine-Hisui: @ Choice Scarf Ability: Rock Head Tera Type: Fire EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Flare Blitz - Head Smash - Crunch/Wild Charge/Rock Slide - Close Combat I’ve always loved using choice band harcanine and but I’ve been struggling to use it since its...

Funnily enough I looked at the uubl list and while skarmory is pretty good into most of those pokemon, they all have far more significant issues than skarmory. Blissey walls all of the special attackers and most of the physical attackers are either too slow/too frail or not strong enough to...

Shouldn’t acupressure fall under evasion move clause? If double team and minimise are banned because they’re uncompetitive, then surely the more luck based move should be banned as well

:Deoxys-Speed: @ Expert Belt Ability: Pressure Tera Type: Fighting EVs: 252 Atk / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Mild Nature - Expanding Force - Superpower - Knock Off - Ice Beam I’ve been using this set on a psyspam team and holy moly does this thing shred. If you can get it in safely, then it will...

Loving the look of psyspam rn. Deo-S psycho boosts looking insane especially since it has the coverage to beat all possible switch ins. The only check I can see is exca in sand but hawlucha threatens that and I’ve got sash hazards drill to revenge kill. The only good way I can see to beat it is...

LETS FUCKING GOOO EXCADRILLS BACKKKKK Just in time to get blasted by deo-s

Did you know that, in legends Z-A, zygarde will be revealed to be a weed addict. Upon this revelation, zygarde will reach their 200% form and become a horse/flying type.

My contribution to the war against hazard stack is this dumbass idea :sv/cryogonal: On paper, cryogonal actually fits quite well into this mess of a metagame. Great matchups into both garchomp and sandy shocks, the ability to switch into these mons somewhat reliably, and its access to rapid...

I was a big weezing supporter before the shifts, but I’d argue it’s gotten worse now. Firstly, sandy shocks being good again is bad since it’s a hazard stacker that weezing can’t deal with. Secondly, weezings lack of reliable recovery wasn’t that bad pre shifts as alomomola could wish it back...

I do think, if ceruledge is banned, the hazard stack issue will be neutered slightly. While sinistcha can be scary, rapid spinning with the threat of ceruledge coming in is far more scary. Sinistcha and tankchomp also share some key flaws, like an ice weakness and a lack of reliable recovery...

How is GXE calculated?

Survey stats are out: https://www.smogon.com/forums/posts/9941719/ Looks like ceruledge might go and there’s probably gonna be a suspect test soon

I’m starting to think that ogerpon-c is ban worthy, not just because of the sweeper set, but because there’s just no good checks to its utility set. :Ogerpon-Cornerstone: (F) @ :Cornerstone Mask: Ability: Sturdy Tera Type: Rock EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Ivy Cudgel...

252 Atk Garchomp Scale Shot (4 hits) vs. 248 HP / 248+ Def Moltres: 132-156 (34.4 - 40.7%) -- approx. 3HKO 0 SpA Moltres Flamethrower vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Garchomp: 67-79 (18.7 - 22.1%) -- possible 5HKO On a defensive mon that lacks lefties and only has 8 roost pp, that damage is significant. Burn...

I agree mostly cause it creates the least collateral damage. While I’m aware tiering isn’t based on what’s best for all tiers, I do think it should at least be thought about before making decisions. Ninetales is rarely used outside of aurora veil, so it has the least impact, while light clay...

Few of my dumb thoughts :kommo-o: On paper this guy is disgusting, however in practice it feels like it falls short of being broken. Special sets are definitely the best but the amount of chip it takes just to set up + whatever your opponent decides to do just leaves it vulnerable to getting...
