I haven’t stated my opinions on mega victreebel beyond its resemblance to a boss fight in shadow the hedgehog, so I should probably do so. As silly and humorous as mega victreebel is, it at least tries to make severe changes and isn’t merely the original mon with features of its pre evolution...

I knew something was familar with the new mega.

Yeah i’ve it seen mentioned time and time again but theres not much variety in arguments that mention it, the first example of “ZapKingLu” was a powerful core that emerged late into the dlc 1 metagame which if you were there, you’d know was pretty bad after all the bans, but “ZapKingLu” is not a...

Aliens have found their way onto earth and now, in order to collect information about the human race and how they think, they have opted to bring the operations to the human website Pokemon Showdown. Through the use of their intellect (and pinkacross videos), they have built the strongest...

Labubus are just lego minifigures for people who clap when their plane finally lands and drink from stanley cups.

HO is abit more common with the rise of the edgelord which is a mainly HO pokemon, but its not a significant trend compared to the other times HO was really popular. I am interested in whats going to change in the next few months for the meta, maybe some more scizor, which is a surprisingly...

“I am the big stall.” - Blissey “I’m not destroying OU, I’m fixing it!” - Landorus therian “Wait, if you’re banded, who’s setting the stealth rock?” - Gliscor “He’s setting up right behind me, isn’t he?” - Pincurchin “I’m sorry Gambit, I was unaware that you boosted” - Dondozo “My actions...

Body press is not boosted by eviolite, so it would not that much compared to dragon pulse which 3hkos wellspring or thunder wav which ruins it entirely. Pivot sets would also do too little damage to it to beat with u turn spam and hazards, especially if its teammates gets caught by a thunder...

Today I present another niche and hyper specific wellspring counter, but this time its not our boy cobby. Duraludon @ Eviolite Ability: Light Metal Tera Type: Flying EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature - Dragon Pulse - Flash cannon/dragon tail - Rest - Thunder Wave/Stealth Rock...

I believe the opportunity cost of tera blast prevents it from being broken, it requires use of your tera slot to be used, which means most teams will only have one mon running the move and will have to pick mon will run the move (not to mention it requires a complete sacrifice of your original...

Mega dragonite is actually shaped like the number 2, this is a reference to the amount of minutes it took for the artists to design it.

I better be balanced…

:combusken: C+ -> C: this pokemon isn’t doing too hot rn (no type based pun intended). Its harder to sweep with given its frailty and lack of speed without speed boost, its mostly match up reliant and struggles to get opportunities to set up swords dance because it tends to get chunked and/or...

If we’re gonna stop ogerpon, we’re gonna need some help Lord Farquaad (Cobalion) @ Leftovers Ability: Justified Tera Type: Grass EVs: 48 HP / 208 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Poison Jab - Iron Defense - Body Press - Thunder Wave Whilst not a real counter and more of a check...

Theres enough reasonable counterplay to balance to prevent a wellspring ogerpon ban from making it broken, generation 9 is still one of the most offense based metagames in recent memory and the hypothetical ban of a powerful wallbreaker will not be enough to change that. There are also other...

Sun isn’t too hot rn (pun totally intended), but one of its highlight pokemon rn is venusaur, which is one of the best chlorophyll mons in the game with growth + giga drain shenanigans and is a great weather baller, it can also use solar beam on non life orb sets to unleash total devastation on...

A+ -> A- The evil is starting to be vanquished, with the return of Porygon 2, Jolteon has been easier to counter due to Porygon 2’s special bulk and ability to trace volt absorb to gain an electric immunity making it nearly impossible for Jolteon to break through even with multiple Calm Mind...

I never said anything about sweeping with araquanid… since it doesn’t even hit hard enough for pokemon with no way of boosting its attack to sweep,i even said “the main incentive using for webs in gen 9 OU is never the setter itself” I was merely talking about how its consistency in allowing...

An almost 2hko is a noteworthy feat given that this is Ting Lu after all and Araquanid is the most consistent web setter in OU, but the main incentive using for webs in gen 9 OU is never the setter itself given that some use ribombee, but rather it enabling you to potentially sweep by just...

My quick thoughts PU players can’t stop stealing from ZU, why did they take BOTH qwilfishes, why did they take grafaiai when its B- rank there, why did they take ANOTHER floatzel check? Porygon 2 is back in ZU tho, so jolteon won’t be broken anymore About damn time damn galarian weezing rose...
