I'm voting for only 1 check because I can only choose from 2 options that aren't mine. Check: :Ogerpon-Wellspring: Counters: :clefable: :Blissey:

Noticed last night that Shed Tail has been banned from Trademarked despite it not being announced in this thread. Anything else got banned?

I actually think the part that makes Annihilape significantly more manageable in this meta is the part where it gets hit by various chip damage trademarks and it cannot Taunt to prevent them. The Will-O-Wisp trademark was nasty back in the day, but Toxic and Leech Seed trademarks still do a...

What is determined to be the Relic move if all moves in the moveset can be legally learned by the base mon? E.g. this set: Dragonite (Regieleki) @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Transistor Tera Type: Normal EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Naive Nature - Rapid Spin - Volt Switch - Thunderbolt...

If Kommo-o Terastallizes and Taunts, Skeledirge can't touch it (or heal up) due to Kommo-o now being a Normal-type with Soundproof (i.e. immune to Torch Song and Hex). Kommo-o easily breaks Skeledirge by dealing over 8% damage a turn from there. So with that... Check: :deoxys-speed: Counter...

Check :SV/Gholdengo: Gholdengo @ Choice Scarf Ability: Good as Gold Tera Type: Fighting EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Shadow Ball - Make It Rain - Trick - Focus Blast Due to this Kommo-o not running max. Speed, Scarf Gholdengo always outspeeds and 2HKOes! Let...

We've made Sub Eternamax illegal in SwSh Pure Hackmons because one of our premier battle mechanics researchers, DaWoblefet, has found that Eternamax using Substitute crashes the game in (start checking at 24:50). Simulating crashes is difficult, so making the combination illegal is the next...

Check :SV/Ogerpon-Wellspring: Ogerpon-Wellspring (F) @ Wellspring Mask Ability: Water Absorb Tera Type: Water EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Swords Dance - Ivy Cudgel - Power Whip - Play Rough Use Power Whip first. It'll probably hit. If Primarina Terastallizes and therefore...
