    Metagame Cross Evolution

    Fur coat doesn't make you 180 atk, neither does Milotic So are we saying it's not ? Can we not hyperfocus on the option I said would be the least useful, and ignore the point of gyarados + intim giving ridiculous amounts of special bulk, 125 atk and intimidate ? Then I guess the tier is dead...

    Metagame Cross Evolution

    The Issue with playing offense is that a stall team can have 3 answers such as unaware, intimidate and fur coat. The main offender is Gyarados. It can make any gimmicky otherwise useless mon such as slowpoke, hippopotas, shellder, etc while also packing 180 atk to threaten your mons back, set...

    Metagame Cross Evolution

    It has no recovery plus, triple axel is not as reliable and stall has a lot of resources Only the setup variation doesn't get beaten by special walls, girafarig lacks recovery other than wish. Girafarig breaks better with Boomburst Toxtricity. Not even Chansey can wall it uninvested in Spd. In...

    Metagame Cross Evolution

    The meta is crazy unhealthy imo. Several players coincide that stall is too strong in this metagame. I think this hides the brokenness of Ceruledge a bit, since it can't really break any stall. Cloyster is matchup fishy as it doesn't have enough damage to break some walls, but can steamroll over...

    Metagame Cross Evolution

    So because you might be able to guess, it shouldn't be? Other than that, why would it be bad for the metagame ? Is it really on the spirit of the ladder to keep track of the different teams people are running at the moment, being so that ladder alternate players and players alternate teams ...

    Metagame Cross Evolution

    Bisharp doesn't fit every team and I can't recall the last time I saw a corviknight. It gives mere 130 BST. It would be nice to have to have stats on abilities and mon usage as that could give a better metric on how much Unaware is necessary to check the same threats. Queueing is taking ages...

    Metagame Cross Evolution

    I think we should implement Nickname Reveal as not knowing if your oponent packs a basculegion, cloyster or hidden inmunity is really unfair. It goes away after you match with the people again in ladder but that shouldn't be the case imo. I still consider Ceruledge Evolution to be pretty...

    Metagame Cross Evolution

    Respectfully, one can't make a team without a ceruledge counter. Ghost secondary typing is really good offensive and defensively. It's really fast so it can run taunt to avoid receiving Toxic and Unaware recovery. Flash Fire gives inmunity to burn, more damage to Bitter Blade and one useful...

    Metagame SV Monotype Metagame Discussion [Indigo Disk]

    It's one of those phenomena where something happens less but generates a bigger reaction when it does than the other constant more concerning problems. Car accidents vs plane crashes, one is way more likely than the other but the latter generates an inmense amount of grief and emotion. As I said...

    Announcement SV Monotype Suspect #9: Free Bird (Espathra Suspect)

    I ran as much setup as possible with screens, psychic terrain, memento, trick, encore and so on. Espathra underperformed than many other mons like Iron Crown, Gallade, even Wyrdeer and Braviary - H. Espathra is a horrible unit at monotype, it's that bad. Indeedee can do a better job nuking mobs...

    Announcement SV Monotype Suspect #9: Free Bird (Espathra Suspect)

    As the fella who plays more psychic that is reasonable, I can say that banning Espathra doesn't really matter for Psychic. It doesn't provide much for a team. Being pure psychic, walled by Gholdengo, Iron Crown, Heatran, Metagross, Blissey, Hoodra, etc; countered by any mon with sucker punch or...

    Announcement SV Monotype Suspect #8: Royals (Kingambit Suspect)

    I did run fully defensive slowbro and it doesn't quite get the kill, the caculator confirms this. While Gambit will deal >96% to slowbro with Kowtow Cleave unless it hasn't used its Colbur Berry which is very unrealistic scenario, as if I put the mon on my pocket the whole game just to not kill...
