I think my post lacked replays exemplifying Whimsicott beating stuff it is not supposed to, so here´s a few replays: Chien-Pao https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen91v1-2166901611-z1yt61jws2tdzjyc9csbw5ksgqc49vepw...

Isnt it a pp stall if you cotton as they sub? On both Valiant replays, turn 7 protect is a choke, you always toxic there

:Gliscor: Gliscor UR -> B- Main Set: Gliscor (pokepast.es) I have no idea how this mon wasn´t ranked yet. Poison heal is the only reliable method to spam substitute + protect withouth losing HP, except for leech seed which requires a turn to set up. This means Substitute + Protect Gliscor...

Volcarona isn't the only problematic Tera Blast abuser rn imo, I would argue CB Pult runs away with a ton of games due to surprise factor as well. Also, even if we take banning tera blast out of the list of options, I don't think we will arrive at a more balanced metagame for banning volc. Like...

I am pro-Volcarona. Before I address the main pro-ban arguments and provide counter-arguments, I would first like to start with the reasons why Volcarona´s presence is good for the tier. -Volcarona offers a unique form of Role Compression: Generally, there are 2 ways in which we cover for...

Volcarona is the only exception to the rule because we already banned Espathra and Regieleki, after we ban Volcarona people will claim Tera Blast Ground Iron Moth is the exception to the rule and not realize these pokemon would have been fine in the metagame in case Tera Blast was just banned...

I believe a Tera Blast ban is the best way forward for the metagame. While Tera Blast on it's own isn't broken in the sense that it can not be answered, it pushes the metagame towards a state of heavy counterteaming and reliance on surprise factor to win, which in my opinion is an uncompetitive...

A few reasons I voted B+ on Deo-S: -A lot of it´s impact comes from surprise factor regarding the set, but it can´t really fit all the moves it wants to hit it´s answers. If it lacks Shadow Ball, Hatterene will be a great answer. If it lacks Knock Off- Slowking-Galar is safe into it aside from...

Skarmory been real silent after this one.

Hi, I often find myself looking for the bulkiest mons possible both on the physical and special side when building my teams, but I generally have to search for HP, Defense or Special Defense to get decent results. Since a lot of the times people use a Physical or Special Wall they end up...

A Top RMT Stall whose counterplay to Virizion was forfeit? *Vietnam flashbacks

Expanding on my post from earlier, I believe I found a way to calculate the best probability distribution between 2 strategies for all conflicts with these 3 characteristics: -0 Sum Game ( Symmetrical Incentives, What one loses, the other gains) -2 Players -2 Choices for each Considering...

Hello everyone, this post is a little bit off-topic, but I would like to attempt to apply a bit of game theory to the current state of the metagame, particularly when it comes to match-ups in the tournament scene. For the sake of simplicity, and given that players generally have preferences...

Your point is fair, but I still think we both reach the conclusion that it needs to predict Excadrill, Gholdengo and Iron Treads to effectively win the 1v1. Add Heatran to that list, if you are running body press instead of earthquake. (Also, I´m not a big Gholdengo fan rn, but Im pretty sure...

Here´s a list of Pro-Ban and Anti-Ban arguments for those undecided like me: Pro-Ban: -Notable Lack of Hard Counters -Lack of Pokemon That can OHKO Archaludon and effectively force it out withouth a trade-off. -Combination of 600 BST with a very Strong typing. -Capacity to take advantage of 2...
