    VGC Regulation G - Snow and a Snail

    So, I made a previous Rate My Team thread and with a few hundred more games under my belt in Reg F I thought I'd give another crack at another slow team coming into Regulation G. I like slower, grinder teams and with some inspiration from the recent success of snow, I thought I'd make something...

    VGC [VGC] Hisuian Gooda and friends

    Not going to lie, I totally missed the tag. Thank you so much! I'm totally okay playing something a little more subpar than full on 'meta', I enjoy strats that slow down tempo of the game a bit I think! Totally on board with Raging Bolt, and due to the aforementioned earth weaknesses...

    VGC [VGC] Hisuian Gooda and friends

    Howdy! I'm a new (less than a year) VGC player looking for advice on a team. I spent the last good while checking out a bunch of team styles and found one I enjoy, and this is essentially what I've cooked up. As I am a new VGC player I'm obligated to use exactly one Pokemon that is completely...

    Metagame Terastallization Tiering Discussion [ UPDATE POST #1293]

    A quick 2 cents, I like the idea of a Terastal Clause as it reminds me of banning certain megas. I know you spent the rest of your post breaking it down and ultimately feeling like banning the mechanic would be better, but as someone on the boat of 'avoid banning it', this would be a neat middle...

    Metagame Terastallization Tiering Discussion [ UPDATE POST #1293]

    Maybe I'm personally a bit stringent about this, but I don't like anything added to smogon that is an attempt to directly change mechanics in the game. Revealing Teratype in team preview can't be done by team preview in game so I dislike that, for example. Changing how it works ('you only get...

    Metagame Terastallization Tiering Discussion [ UPDATE POST #1293]

    I'd much prefer an outright ban (ideally with a different ladder for Tera), or it not being touched at all. I feel like adding new mechanics to 'balance' Tera moves the battle simulator away from being a simulator and into something different ala "Pokemon; Smogon Version". Clauses, up until this...

    Metagame Terastallization Tiering Discussion [ UPDATE POST #1293]

    If Terastalization is too strong, but not to the extent of other gimmicks, what about banning Terastal from Pokemon who are in OU, but allow the mechanic to be used by Pokemon who would otherwise not be OU? This lets lower tier Mons get the potential usability buffs while preventing the already...

    Pokémon Eelektross

    While I'm exceptionally outdated when it comes to the metagame, the first thing I thought about with Terastallization was a Pokemon like Eelektross. I doubt it has the staying power of another more powercrept Pokemon in this generation, but what it lacks in upfront power it makes up for it...
