Hello to all, very happy to have been able to participate in this very tight cycle of the PULT where the fight was done until the last minutes .
I wanted to make some thanks and share some impressions I had on the PU ladder
At first thanks to Drud , ManOfMany and pdt to introduce me in PU by bought me in PUPL, it is a very good experience and I am convinced that we will end up winning. Keep it up guys we will be rewarded
yandaud Lambovino my compatriots that I didn't know especially before the ladd and frankly very good meetings that helped me all along my run (big up to zS and Squash for cheering me)
Shaneghoul my favorite competitor and one of my rivals on this PU ladder. You were really nice w me since the beginning we exchange on some points about the metagame and that’s all I research on playing this game
Finally shoutout H.M.N.I.P for the games and the interesting discussions we had around the PU
I hope we continue to have fun we all waiting for the PUetro on SCL
After the thanks, let's go to the metagame.
After the thanks, let's go to the metagame.
I found the metagame quite pleasant because in general very offensive but it remains rather limited in the building notably on the level of the sand and HOs because of doublade which is supposed to be a regulator of meta.
He makes niche mons unplayable like cryogonal and forces teams to choose removers that are advantageous against him while according to the set none of them are able to be guaranteed before the match to win their duel.
I think the question of a suspect would be worth thinking about even if I don't feel that the pokemon is broken in itself as vaniluxe was for example, just that it prevents some team structure from blooming completely in terms of versatility.
replays to show what doublade does:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen8pu-644411 doublade sd stalk (spin block vs balance)
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen8pu-643777 against rest doublade (spin block vs stall)
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen8pu-643954 sd doublade in HO (remove the spinner vs sand)
before closing this long message I would like to make a parenthesis and s/o Buttetfree who helps me a lot during my run.
QD + Sleep have a lot of offensive and defensive utility on HO with focus sash it has 98% of chance to sleep with composed eyes (except on neutralizing weezing)
some replays of THE BUTTERFLY (redemption n’est pas un vrai papillon btw)
