Dracovish: Ban

Confirming as OUTZ CoffinDancers. Y'all thought I wouldn't vote? Holy shit King's Rock cloyster is next on my list Ruft edit: confirmed

I've noticed that none of these calcs include rain, which is a mistake because rain exists - while not a top tier play style, rain (mostly semi-rain) is viable so it has to be considered. Seismitoed is the only answer in rain. Pex and Ferro were weak checks at best to begin with, so in my eyes...

You're a legend for that picture

The below image will be Dracovish's final sight on May 31st: I wake up every morning and I ask myself, Is Dracovish banned yet? The answer has been no for too long. At first, I tirelessly laddered with Dracovish teams using various nicknames for it including "BAN THIS PLEASE and "NEEDS TO BE...

It's true. BUT you could use webs or just spam STABs anyways as even a resisted specs bug buzz will do huge damage against offensive switch ins with resistances like Rotom-H, Dragapult, and Excadrill, so protect is less annoying than you think. From team preview you'll know whether the bug will...

Move aside Pangoro, you're irrelevant (let's just be honest with ourselves). Instead, introducing Vikavolt, who I'd nominate for B- Vikavolt @ Choice Specs / Heavy Duty Boots Ability: Levitate EVs: 56 HP / 252 SpA / 200 Spe Serious Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Bug Buzz - Volt Switch - Thunderbolt /...

Sorry, while I'm not here to debate Clefable in S+, I will say that I think that it's getting overblown right now. To me This thing really needs its hidden ability, or swords dance. Badly. I have personally found a ton of success with a bulkup + 3 attacks (Pyro/Sucker/Zen) which sweeps very...

Kyurem in A is funny. Choice Specs is A+ at a minimum, and combined with the Sub/DD/Roost/Icicle Spear set (which is absolutely savage) I would put it at S-. Honestly if I look at all the A+ offensive threats, none of them compare to Kyurem. Kyurem is probably the second "most wanted" suspect...

I have used "semi-rain" on a lot of my teams and I just want to add that u-turn is mandatory if you want to get the most usage out of Vish. Pelipper forces a lot of switches and helps maintain momentum, and often times you can switch back into Vish without wasting a step. For example, a common...

Anyone else feel like Excadrill is low key one of the best in the game? We talk a lot in this thread about threats who are able to hold the meta hostage and I think Excadrill is in that conversation, perhaps even moreso than ridiculous threats like Zeraora whose bulk up set is criminal. If Toed...

I want everyone to take a close hard look at these 2 calcs: 252+ Atk Choice Band Strong Jaw Dracovish Fishious Rend (170 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 141-167 (46.3 - 54.9%) -- 98.8% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Black Sludge recovery 252+ Atk Choice Band Strong Jaw Dracovish...

Whenever I see someone say we should suspect dracovish Everybody gangsta until Fishious Rend 2HKO defensive toxapex after SR. My personal opinion: I think we should look at Vish, Kyurem and Zeraora in that order before DLC. I know UU has done multiple suspects at once, is that on the table...

Usage stats are better than just counting. 1825 stats - this gen march (this gen feb) | last gen 1. Clefable 51% (42%) | Landorus-T 51% 2. Corviknight 43% (36%) | Magearna 31% 3. Toxapex 31% (20%) | Ferro 22% 4. Zeraora 27% (14%) | Greninja 22% 5. Dragapult 26% (41%) | Tapu koko 18% A...

Here's another consideration. So much of the meta's best counterplay against Melmetal: ferro, corvi, toed, pex (to pivot). You know one thing in common with all of these? They also like to run SpDef variants, which are now going to be... well... challenging. This is already a meta where you...

Thanks for linking that, if we could all agree on what the right definitions are that would be helpful for future suspect threads. But it literally disproves your point? If we assume a free switch for Hippo, aka a true one on one: 252+ Atk Choice Band Iron Fist Melmetal Double Iron Bash (2...

I am going to refrain from talking about Zera since I have my own unfavorable opinions of it in the tier which is not the point of the discussion. But I don't like the comparison in the first place since Melmetal and Zeraora are litearlly opposite pokemon, they almost could not be more different...

This is a suspect thread, so I don't think "deal wit hit by pivoting around it" is a valid argument when it comes to determining whether X is broken. but yes, I agree, if I rand 2-4 checks I too would deal with Melmetal by switching around and pivoting hoping to catch it flat footed. In fact, it...
