Player Name: EonDuoLatias Tiers: NatDex Ubers, SS NatDex OU, SV NatDex OU Country: Singapore [Chinese by nationality] Other Eligibility: None

:sv/tapu-koko: :sv/iron-valiant: :sv/cresselia: :sv/cyclizar: :sv/gyarados-mega: :sv/dragonite: Triple-Setup Terrain HO Ft. Cresselia This team is based off of three highly dangerous sweepers which all appreciate being behind both screens and a Substitute, with the very niche but unexpected...

I am nominating :cresselia: from UR to A- Yes, I do think this Pokemon is broken. Its defenses are almost unparalleled in the tier, being almost as bulky as Our Lord Arceus [it has 120/110/120 defenses compared to Arceus's 120/120/120]. Using this massive bulk, it runs a brutal Stored Power set...

In my opinion, Zamazenta is only very threatening on paper. In practice, it rarely lives up to its "broken" hype. One of the most quoted points when one talks about Zamazenta's "brokenness" is its Speed. In theory, this criticism holds some value, given that its max speed of 412 outspeeds...

I would like to nominate a couple Pokemon, which I believe are underrated and should be tiered higher. :sv/walking-wake: B to S- This Pokemon [without exaggeration] instantly made Sun shoot up in usage, and that is quite obvious when you look at its attacks. With Protosynthesis and its...

In general, is there a particular reason to Smogon disliking complex bans or even bans of a move as opposed to a Pokemon? I understand it's part of "Policy", but is there any actual rationale behind this rule?

In general, is Iron Valiant viable without Tapu Koko? Most structures I've seen use Valiant only with Koko.

The point, is that you're not losing out on the opportunity cost of having Ttar as your Mega slot even if you're using Mega Tyranitar, since this opportunity does not need to be used at all. First of all, I mentioned this earlier; the best defogger in the tier is Tornadus-Therian. Second of...

I have a few salient points to make regarding Mega Tyranitar. I feel that Ttar is one of the few legitimate Megas in this metagame, and is also an elite one, and that some of the points that a few members of this forum have made are relying on assumptions that may or may not be true in their...

Definitely not a loaded question: Given that Mega Tyranocif can counter-team large portions of the metagame, such as Tornadus-T, Dragapult, Mega Charizard Y and even more if it chooses to run attacks like Ice Beam [hitting Great Tusk on the switch] or if it is facing a Choice locked Pokemon...

Sure, I'll find some

Introduction With the stabilising of the Gen 9 NatDex OU metagame after the banning of multiple problematic Pokemon, I set out to create a balance-style team. After a bit of tinkering, this is what I've come up with: a balance team focused on the breaking power of Zamazenta along with the...

No disrespect, but I do not think Dudunsparce, Oricorio and Aegislash are [at least for the moment] prime Tera users or checks. Perhaps you could illustrate your point further with more salient examples, to help us all understand your thought process and opinion?

I feel like one of the points that has yet to be elaborated on when regarding Terastallisation is how Terastalised Pokemon can get past revenge killing attempts with priority attacks. One of the main ways to check Tera users are by revenge killing them, and aside from outspeeding them, priority...
