    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    smokin that stall pack ripdozo cheap meme aside, before release I thought iron treads would be the new lando-t stand in with its highly effective typing and role compression (spinner, rocks, bulky ground/steel type) and that great tusk would be a dud because ground/fighting is kind of a...

    Each Gimmighoul KO nets 50 coins, it'll take a few hours but I'm the kinda guy who super trained for evolution stones in gen 6 games

    Iron Treads seems like it can attempt to fill Lando-T's role as a highly effective role compressor. It gets hazard removal, has an incredible defensive typing and the bulk to take advantage of it, a solid speed tier, very powerful coverage between Earthquake and Ice Spinner that lets it beat a...

    It doesn't. It's made up... you might even say it isn't representative of reality. A paradox, even! Snark aside, those dex entries to me debunk the idea that the paradoxes are time travelers. Literally fanfiction pokemon

    Scovillain seems like it'll benefit from the new (seemingly) Sun-centric meta. Its stats aren't the greatest, but it has just enough juice and unique tricks to make a name for itself as a niche but potent weather sweeper. Scovillain @ Life Orb Ability: Chlorophyll EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Def...

    Wind Power text suggests it procs once for every time a wind move is used (likely not for every turn Tailwind is active), and only for the next Electric move it uses. What I'm most curious about is if Kilowattrel can self-proc with its own Tailwind- it might be a decent VGC lead in that case.

    How much do the paradox abilities boost, anyway? Is it 1.5x? 2x? 1.3x? The other abilities that boost stats without showing the stat boost animation in game (Swift Swim and friends) are a straight 2x boost. How much does Supreme Overlord boost? The flavor text suggests a 1.1x boost, but I...

    Chien-Pao is still busted, even if it's just 120 Atk instead of 130. The STABs, coverage, and ability are still intact. I give it 2 weeks max in OU.

    SPOILERS! Scarlet and Violet Gameplay/Story Leaks

    The story takes place after you beat the 3 paths. Before that is just character exposition Yes, roughly 15~ hours of character introduction followed by 3~ hours of actual plot. That said, I really do think they nailed the 3 hours of plot. A bit fast, yes, but it made me very invested in the...

    So Tinkaton looks DOA in singles, but I think it'll have a niche in doubles/VGC. Gigaton Hammer hits pretty hard: 252 Atk Mold Breaker Tinkaton Gigaton Hammer vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Mew: 181-214 (44.9 - 53.1%) -- 30.5% chance to 2HKO 252 Atk Life Orb Excadrill Iron Head vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Mew...

    Chien-Pao is looking like an absolute menace. 135 Speed and 130 Attack with one of the best STABs in the game and an ability that reduces Defense upon entry is immediate OU tier and likely going to get banned pretty early on.

    Scovillain 65/108/65/108/65/75 Not gonna lie, that's kind of a shit stat spread, but Grass/Fire with Chlorophyll might just be enough to save it. Instant Solarbeams+Sun-boosted Fire Blasts are positively spooky, even coming from an only slightly above average SAtk. Gonna have to see its...

    Is Chien-Pao the Ice/Dark snow leopard? In that case, it wouldn't surprise me if Weavile became BL. A remarkably goofy sequence of words to anybody playing OU prior to today

    I'm personally excited to use Gholdengo. Ghost/Steel is an incredible typing, it has a pretty cool ability, apparently has a pretty good signature move, and likely has a really good BST considering its place in the dex (after the pseudo and most of the paradoxes barring Roaring Moon and Iron...
