What support does Shellder appreciate to do its shell smash shenanigans? I've been spitballing team ideas for Open and didn't know where to start with Shellder

it loves it when tera isnt available for the opp and when opp mons get knocked, and also memento if possible but thats not a need

What does Rhyhorn do in specific and why is it preferred over say Geodude? Is it basically the next best thing to Onix or something since that's not in gen 9? Ofc this is a C-rank mon but I'm still curious.

Usually it’s a poor man’s Onix, but in Gen 9 it runs a somewhat gimmicky set with Tera Flying and lightning rod that lets it serve as a counter to Voltorb-Hisui, among other things. It’s not the most viable thing in the world but it has a decent niche.

Hey ppl, quick question. Why is Basculin-White-Striped not allowed in the tier? If I recall correctly, it meets every requirement to be LC legal...

 

[Hacker]

it would be too good in sv with its high attack and speed stats alongside access to last respects

While meeting all the criteria for being allowed in LC, it was deemed too strong and banned for the reasons Hacker mentioned. It was also banned from NFE for similar reasons, which is why it shows up as ZU in the showdown builder instead.

Do little cup players do team dumps after mayor tournaments like LCPL or LCWC? Im asking cause I don't seem to find any post tournament team dumps in any of these threads, nor do I see them in commencement posts.

Hello, are there any LC variants playable around here, such as LC STABmons, LC Camomons, etc. ?

You can find them here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/om-mashup-megathread.3711916/post-9422897

They arent particularly active but youll still be able to find matches in all fairness

Is there like, a team bazaar anywhere? I've just been messing around with a team, and would just like to share it since its decent (though nowhere near sample team worthy lol).

Why is Vulpix banned?

 

[Éric]

weather too strong lol sun is already good when used manually (see: lcpl replays), vulpix sun would be way too much
