I have awakened from my slumber
Gonna end up mostly echoing G-Luke lmaooo
This is very very strong. While its defensive typing isn’t particularly good, this thing’s bulk is absolutely insane, and as long as they don’t bring a Bulu, don’t ever expect it to be broken on the physical side. I personally think this is still one of the best buffs slated, but it most certainly will bring powercreep with it if it wins. mfw this is just manditop
Y’all are actually clowning wtf. This literally has the highest special bulk of every metal bird. Does that not mean anything??? But besides that, the main thing differentiating this from the many, many Steel/Flyings in OU is its access to Nasty Plot, a la Corveot. With NP, bulky offensive sets are very possible, and thanks to its amazing defensive typing, very difficult to stop. Hurricane + Heat Wave is nearly perfect coverage, and as long as you can take out their Heatran/Copperajah this mon is a serious threat to opposing teams. It’s like Torn-T, but it trades speed for bulk. Bulky sets are also possible, which just further cements this mon’s viability.
edit: I completely forgot it got Tinted Lens. So remember everything I said earlier? Take all that and add in the fact that it can just run dual STABs or even monoattacking if it wants, since nothing in OU resists Tinted Lens Hurricane. Plus, it even gets Calm Mind, and PhysDef Calm Mind Noctowl is obscenely hard to break without something like a Specs Blace or a CM Raikou (neither of which want to take repeated hits). Anyone saying this mon is bad is just biased against Noctowl. Please take an actual look at the mon before you throw this thing out completely (
I don’t blame you if you missed Tinted Lens tho lmaoo).
It’s ok. It probably does what it was made to. Only problem is OU is super crowded with Steels, and I don’t see this bringing much new to the table (not to mention the intended strat with this is really stupid). Plus like, what is it trapping?
Another one that probably does what it was made to. I’d be fine with Hatt in most slates, but I think there are better options this slate plus the anti-synergy with DKiss makes me sad, so I’ll probably pass on this one.
It is just screens. We don’t need more HO tools. Please stop subbing them, people (unless they are for webs :). Special note for AD: go play Jolte if you want Geomancy Wigglytuff. It is still a shitmon and a complete waste of a submission slot. If council slates it I will be sorely disappointed.
