nah, this has potential to be something substantial, just gotta wait n' seeMost likely this is an upcoming event he is trying to generate hype for such as another Fight Night or something similar, if it doesn't end up being just a segue into posting a screenshot of discord with a joke in it.
so it'll be a smogon sportsbook is what I hear^ I promise it is, it is gonna be really epic from what I understand of it
That’s not really betting. You don’t lose any money by losing. All you lose is maybe a couple minutes of your day. It’s similar to NFL having those vote for offensive rookie of the week for a 0% chance to win a $100 dollar gift card.hate to break it to you....

its always been a thing
I really like this one! Here's a Scizor set I was using some months back on a grassy terrain team that felt hilarious in its own way:I only lurk in this thread and only play casually now, but wanted to talk about Scizor (mostly to change the topic).
Scizor @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Technician
Tera Type: Fairy / Water / Fire / Steel
EVs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 136 Spe (or a fatter spread if you need to survive some KO benchmarks)
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Close Combat / Knock Off
- U-turn
short answer: yung crowbarWhy do I keep seeing Power Trip Corv and why did it just 6-0 me? I’ve seen more Power Trip Corv than defensive in recent history.
You're actually killing us with all the hype. Prepare for Lugia, Palafin, Annihilape, Solgaleo, or whatever mon like Rayquaza Arceus or Necrozma Dusk Mane that people want to drop to OU nowadays I guess.nah, this has potential to be something substantial, just gotta wait n' see
why no fs thoWhat about AV Glowking with Flamethrower to stop Corv's usage? Glowking is a very used Pokemon, the best specially defensive in the tier in my opinion, with a great versatility of moves and 2 main sets played right now in OU:
Slowking-Galar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 248 HP / 192 Def / 68 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Psyshock
- Sludge Bomb
- Ice Beam
- Flamethrower
Would using Protective Pads for this set work too? You could have teammates that deal with removing hazardsScizor @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Technician
Tera Type: Fairy / Water / Fire / Steel
EVs: 120 HP / 252 Atk / 136 Spe (or a fatter spread if you need to survive some KO benchmarks)
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Close Combat / Knock Off
- U-turn
the only things I could see being that insane with a movement behind it areI deadass have no idea what will be tested next based on the tweet lol. What shit has a "movement" behind it? Quick Claw? Tera Blast? Palafin?
If it's Gholdengo because of the stall monarchy's complaints against it, I will be extremely disappointed. This pokemon is the number 1 most honest Pokémon in the metagame, holding the tier together against key threats like Zamazenta, Iron Valiant, and Slowking-Galar, while having an honest stat distribution, and clear flaws, such as a vulnerability to Ting-Lu and Samurott-H, as well as many other Pokémon such as Kingambit, Great Tusk, Dragapult, Cinderace, and even lower tier Pokémon like Garchomp.
As for the meta, anyone else find the DDers to be increasingly annoying? Now that Dragonite and Roaring moon are running more Tera types like Ground and digging deeper into their movepools it's noticably harder to pin them down.
i have a theory that it's literally nothing and finch just wants to see what delusions OU players will come up with if they could do one thing to try and fix the meta without going through standard suspect procedures.Gonna be honest, this whole thing still looks like an elaborate troll. Until I see some movement and words that aren't "Nah, relax, this is cool. Trust me on this", i'm not gonna lose my mind over this announcement.
It isn't an unban since that was confirmed. Tera Blast wouldn't "gamble OU's future", while a Tera suspect test would feel like more of an excuse to put this dead discussion further in it's grave. Maybe this is some sick nasty Tournament thry have planned, in which case, sign me up. I'm ready to get my ass kicked by someone magnitutes better than me and use it for character development. But until I see something more concrete, i'm just wondering why i'm supposed to be excited for this
Hard agreeGuys can we stop playing a guessing game about this. Just chill and wait patiently.
The only thing on fire here is whatever stove you used to make this set...My Physdef Dragalge just cooked a +2 Psyshock IVal. Did I cook with this?
New Wellspring check? That’s actually kinda shiest. I must say though, it cant really do much when it Teras…My Physdef Dragalge just cooked a +2 Psyshock IVal. Did I cook with this?
Nahthe only things I could see being that insane with a movement behind it are
1. A tera suspect
2. Lugia Quicktest
3. Palafin Retest
4. Zama Retest
5. Urshifu Retests
Tera Blast has a movement but I doubt its enough to send OU into a frenzy, any of the 5 things on this list would though
what could possibly be more insane? Because something absolutely insane would have to happen to send OU into a frenzy

oh god not espypassHe is actually unbanning unrestricted Baton Pass in order to make Toxapex and the big Stall (Haze, Roar, Unaware, etc.) better. Big Stall always has to win.
Edit: I am actually in favor of this, since all the Eeveelutions are good Baton Pass users, especially Espeon.
i have confirmation that it is in fact something. in fact, i know exactly what it is, but i'm not telling, it'll be more fun to see everyone's reaction when it happensi have a theory that it's literally nothing and finch just wants to see what delusions OU players will come up with if they could do one thing to try and fix the meta without going through standard suspect procedures.
