  1. Sports NBA Thread: 2023-2024 Season

    Your Warriors posts are insane. There’s no need for “apologeticness” regarding the most successful dynasty of the past decade. The proof is in the hardware. Yes, Steph on the court has declined more than Draymond. Steph has a lot further to fall. Went from being top 2-3 player in the league...

    The warriors criticism is insane. They have 4 championships in 8 years. They are by far the most successful franchise of the past decade. Draymond is not an on-court liability. On the contrary; he is still one of the best defenders in the NBA. The warriors problem is they have financially...

    No way. Green is still a good player. Problem is the warriors don’t have anyone else that can create their own offense. It showed in the warriors record vs. top records in the league. They either need to accept the rebuild, developing their young core players (let them play more, championship...

    I feel bad for Steph. It’s Steph and the bums. He has no help out there. Klay is washed.

    The support no longer exists because it drove many that dislike it away. They no longer play the meta.
  6. SV OU KINO DER TOTEN - SV OU Anti-Fat Darkspam [Peaked #61, 1874]

    This is a cool team and congrats on the peak. Hot take on Bulkarona EV spread: Swap HP & Def 104 HP / 252 Def / 152 Spe I think Volcarona is a rare case of bucking conventional EV wisdom. Volcarona has decent base HP and SpDef but very poor phys Def. Swapping them nets about 10% more...
  7. SVOU Rain Thunderstorm (1300's)

    Honestly this team is pretty good. About as good as one can get for rain. Few changes: Pelipper Knock Off > Hurricane or Surf. Knock off hits Blissey which helps out Kingdra and Zapdos. I would switch to Tera Steel and a Specially Defensive Spread (248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpDef, Sassy) for...

    This guy gets it. Solarblade Ceruledge cleaves through fat. I know the calcs because I’ve used the mon extensively. You drop Poltergeist though. Shadow Sneak is vital. Priority sweeping seems to have fallen out of favor this Gen and I’m not sure why. Revenge killing can only be done...

    Sash? Bro. Ceruledge is not frail. Y’all not using it right. It’s a priority sweeper and wall breaker. Damn near 6-0s stall. Pult and Wake get wrecked by Shadow Sneak and you can Tera out of the others while healing up with Bitter Blade.

    Garganacl is toxic. It shouldn’t be allowed. To answer your question: Join the movement. This mon slaps. Hard af to wall but watch out for Gouging Fire. Importable

    Ahhh. Gen 9 is a banger. Load up 5 shitmons + Kingambit and just win!

    It should be noted that Aqua Cutter > Razor Shell on Sammy. It’s almost as powerful, but gets 100% accuracy, double the PP, high crit rate, and is non-contact. No RH damage or burn / static cheese… Banded Sammy is based. The unwallable monster!

    Wugtrio? What the heck is that mon doing in OU? My favorite rain mon is Banded Sam-H. That thing SLAPS!

    If you have to come in more than 3-5 times a game using weather, you either misplayed or the team is bad. No one is saying Torkoal is some high caliber mon. However, it is not some unviable shit mon. I’d say it is certainly better this Gen than in Gen 7 and Gen 8. No one is ever “forced” to use...
  15. Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Volcarona Suspect]

    Torkoal isn’t as bad as you say. It gets both spin and rocks. It is physically impervious and the tech is to actually use its stronger attacks and try Body Press. Torkoal actually 1v1s Tyranitar which is comical. It beats Kingambit unless Gambit is 5 fallen. It’s good into Iron Valiant as...
  16. Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Volcarona Suspect]

    Glad it’s working for you. I started the gen with rain and now won’t touch it with a ten foot pole. It’s no where near as consistent as previous gens. Clicking CC on Barra isn’t even a good mid ground in most games and it doesn’t OHKO. Barra doesn’t make progress vs. Ogerpon-W + any...

    Nah. Sun is for sure better than rain right now for three reasons: 1) Although Rain is historically easier to build and far more brainless it has more bad matchups vs common threats. Rain is flat out bad vs. Kingambit, Dragonite, Walking Wake, Ogerpon-W, and Rillaboom. Nasty list. 2) Sun has...

    Excuse me. Who made you arbitrator? Anything included on surveys is more than fair game to complain about. If you actually think the metagame is all good in the hood, good for you. I disagree; there is substantial room for improvement! Big fan of the resurgence of sun this Gen. The homie...

    Yes! Save Gen 9! Unite against Tera! Gliscor and Garganacl are cancerous. The tier is better off without them. Zama is a clown and people are catching on. Gholdengo is a useful mon with an unhealthy ability (it should not be able to block Defog). We can blame Gamefreak for Gholdengo...
