: 5
: 3
: 1Sorry it took longer than expected. Here's the awaited resub slate!
+ Knock Off
+ Knock Off
+ Dry Skin
and 
+ Hurricane
+ Roost
only two mons will receive these buffs, so discussion for four-five days starts now! note that they will keep these rebuffs along with the old buffs that they have (ex: Zarude would now have SD and KOff)
+ Knock Off + Knock Off + Dry Skin and + Hurricane + Roostonly two mons will receive these buffs, so discussion for four-five days starts now! note that they will keep these rebuffs along with the old buffs that they have (ex: Zarude would now have SD and KOff)
+ Knock Offnow poses actual utility, knock off allows greater power on sd sets and has ways to screw lati over especially if its scarfed or specs since it will not hate losing it. Alongside other checks and counters to zarude such as zapdos, torn-t, dragonite, coba, crobat, volcarona, dragonite, etc. I believe this is a good change which can make it a more viable late game cleaner or annoy mons early game
+ Knock Off
idk... tbh i have 0 idea what turt is supposed to do lol. ill let other explains + Dry Skinpretty good on paper, now no longer screwed over by fini, keldeo, rain, wishy, and some more water attacks. It gives it a lot of setup opportunities and can give it pretty good defensive value. I see this as an absolute win.
and + HurricaneGives it ways to hit latias, grasses, and neutral pokemon hard in rain as it now can abuse the 100% acc in rain to just launch these nukes. Thundy-i can now benefit outside of rain on HO or on offensive teams to have a powerful hurricane to hit grounds, and latias with to prevent it from being walled. I think this is the most improved...
+ Roost def gyara rises up.
-1 252 Atk Sheer Force Darmanitan Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gyarados: 75-89 (19 - 22.5%) -- possible 5HKO
-1 252 Atk Choice Band Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gyarados on a critical hit: 117-141 (29.6 - 35.7%) -- approx. 20.3% chance to 3HKO
+1 252 SpA Volcarona Psychic vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Gyarados: 152-179 (38.5 - 45.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
-1 252 Atk Guts Obstagoon Facade (140 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gyarados: 150-177 (38 - 44.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
-1 252+ Atk Iron Fist Melmetal Double Iron Bash (2 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gyarados: 78-92 (19.7 - 23.3%) -- approx. possible 5HKO
+1 252 Atk Life Orb Mold Breaker Haxorus Scale Shot (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gyarados: 222-261 (56.3 - 66.2%) -- approx. 2HKO
yeah it does a lot esp with t wave support and can support its team a lot with its huge defensive utility
voting for gyara and thundy rn... may change my mind
Thundrus looks nasty good, now Rain can finally drop Zapdos and choose between Therian for sheer power or Base for better speed control.
Gyarados with Roost is absolutely a winner here, although I do not like defensive Intimidate this one is absolutely one I welcome with open arms. It also benefits Rain a lot because they finally get a bulky Water type with both offensive and defensive power.
Salazzle my beloved would be another great addition to rain, but even without Rain it becomes a great counter to Tapu Fini, Boxapex, Keld and Skewda, as well as a pretty good Shifu check.
I'm completely uninterested on the other 2. Knock doesn't do much for Turt, and although Knock Zarude would be pretty pog, it still isn't enough to make it a good Pokémon on its own right.

I hate when there are more than two standouts in these slates, makes it really hard to decide. Leaning Thundy and Lazzle, but Gyara’s extremely strong with the buff as well. Rude and Turt definitely got the short end of the stick here, they’re not bad buffs but Knock doesn’t do enough for either to justify voting for them over the other options here.
voting starts now! refer to the post above for the rules if you aren't aware of them.
