    SV OU Maushold + Hamurott help pls

    This makes sense and is something I didn't consider, but also consider that with Razor Shell over Aqua Cutter you are now susceptible to Flame Body and Static garbage from the birbs, as well as usual Rocky Helmet/Rough Skin damage. Just something to think about, as if you Razor Shell into...

    SV OU Maushold + Hamurott help pls

    Nice team, love the TF2-themed nicknames! One thing I notice is you want Maushold to be a star on your team but have no Knock Off in case of Rocky Helmet. Actually, no Knock Off in general is kinda weird since you are hazard stacking. Obviously your choices are Great Tusk and Hamurott. If you...

    I’ve been thinking about this whole Gholdengo conversation today and just wanted to throw my hat in one more time to summarize my thoughts. It’s important to remember that, at the end of the day, we’re all trying to reach the same goal— a more fun meta game. But what we consider fun just seems...

    Personally, I think Webs has fallen off a bit— but I don’t even mean in viability, I honestly just mean in usage. I think people have new toyed it and it’s now just a thing you see occasionally and is a normal part of the meta game. Maybe your team is well-prepared for it. Maybe it’s a tough...

    75/75 is pretty bulky considering Gliscor always invests in HP and half the time goes 252+ in SpDef. it doesn’t matter if Water and Ice are primarily special moves if they don’t exist in the meta. What Water/Ice moves are you running? Greninja who gets dunked on by Rillaboom, star of the month...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v3

    I think hazards have never before been at the center of the metagame as they are this gen. You could argue this is an issue of the times, idk. I think the general sentiment is that the game should be played around mons, not hazards. Sure, I guess you could Rapid Spin into Ghold predicting a...

    Sure, let me rephrase. HDB is a valid option on Tusk, but is generally (imo) less preferable than Leftovers/Rocky Helmet. HDB is much more prominent because of Spikes which is much more prominent because of Gholdengo. If Gholdengo gets banned, Spikes usage will lessen (I understand it will...

    Thanks! It's a good discussion and one to be had. I'll respond in order. I don't disagree that Heat Wave Zapdos is not the craziest thing and has other purposes, but generally I'd rather just Hurricane down an Iron Treads (which is not common to begin with) since you wall it anyways (a lot of...

    1. Bibarel is not in SV?? 2. Bibarel does not get Unburden???? 3. Unburden has not historically been broken bc it has been on bad mons. The best we've had is Hawlucha, who is only viable BECAUSE it is an Unburden gimmicky setup sweeper. Sneasler is a min-maxed demon with great offensive...

    1. There are almost no Ice moves to be had in OU. 2. The Ice moves we did have, such as Ice Spinner on Great Tusk and Dragonite, became MANDATORY because of Gliscor (overly-restrictive teambuilding = unhealthy metagame). Besides, you run Ice Spinner on your Great Tusk and then what? You get...

    I mean, Garganacl frustration was pretty valid. I think it still is/will be in coming months. Maybe not banworthy, but definitely unfun to play against, since Garganacl can easily crush an entire team, or at least 2-4 mons before dying, if you don't have answers to it AND its Tera (e.g., you...

    Tysm! I think it's a fair consideration and something I considered when moving EVs around-- I just didn't do it because I have Walking Wake and Garganacl to absorb Heatran attacks, so I didn't feel the need.

    Honored to be shouted out and have given you ideas in your work bro. :) Here are my thoughts: :Rillaboom: hitting 240 seems cool in theory, but if you look at the Pokemon at the 239 Speed tier, a lot of them are not really relevant to OU (:Breloom:, :Polteageist:) and a lot of them don't run...

    team Hey again Pinkacross-- I am currently testing the above team and really enjoying it. Team was built around this DNite set from pre-home meta, and mons were added in the order shown. My main concerns rn are related to the Gholdengo set/spread, Great Tusk moveset, and Iron Valiant in...

    Yeah my bad, I saw the note on the side about it being nonexhaustive after I posted haha. Thanks for your input! TBolt + Grass Knot definitely makes sense, but what about FBlast last to muscle through potential Blissey?

    Hey Pinkacross! In your recent HO video, you gave a doc of all the mons you think are viable. I'm theorying a Veil HO with Nasty Plot Thundurus-T with Tera Blast/Weather Ball for BoltBeam coverage. Would you think this type of team could work (given proper teambuilding around that sweeper), or...

    Hi everyone! Welcome to my fourth RMT of the generation. After finding great success with my last VoltTurn RillaBalance team, I decided to build a similar style, but change some things around so that the team operates a bit differently. What I ended up with was a nice amalgamation of three...
