Hey man - when would you like to play for the Smogon VGC draft? We have a bit of a timezone gap so wanted to try and get a jump on scheduling

Been messing around with Tinkaton a bit on my own using a similar set for the same reasons described. Its...okay. I think it is a decidedly anti-meta pokemon/set and the meta is not nearly settled enough for it to be good and I don't see a dominant archetype emerging right now. I tried running...

Name: Scribls Media: scribls#2552 on discord Formats played: Every format since VGC 2017 - most experience in VGC 2017, Series 12 (gen 8), and Regulation C Bio: Primarily a VGC draft league player with championships in two leagues, 3 runner-ups, and a semi-finals in the leagues I've played...

:spectrier: Spectrier C->B Its typing is problematic defensively due to weaknesses to Urshifu/Dragapult/Moltres-G and its movepool is very limited but it can do a few things really well. It is a strong dynamax option with redirection support and its ability allowing it to snowball out of...

Might be worth adding hail abusers and setters in the interest of being complete. I know hail hasn't been super viable but we have the closest thing there has been with Arctozolt and Arctovish (55 base speed is bad but Jolly still outpaces Pheromosa and Adamant outruns Dragapult under hail)...

Good to know - I thought it was ground moves in general. Still don't think Bulu is any good.

Just to get some discussion going - based on super early results there are surprising pokemon scoring CP: Gastrodon - Does well against both Primals, has access to Clear Smog. It does some things and should probably be somewhere on the viability rankings Persian-A - Works nicely on perish trap...

Makes sense. Maybe Rotom-W for D rank and Rotom-H for D- in that case (can hit Venusaur, Kartana, Amoonguss for SE damage)?

This is probably a stupid comment but is there any reason Rotom-H isn't on the same tier as Rotom-W? Sure it has 2 weaknesses compared to 1 for Rotom-W but it has a more resists and a more powerful/accurate STAB move in Overheat relative to Rotom-W. Both have very marginal utility against a...

I used 252 Atk Jolly Volt Tackle Raichu as an offensive tech against Kyogre. It is a guaranteed OHKO on an offensive variant (i.e. anything with max speed/special attack) - its kinda counter-intuitive to use a recoil move on a sash pokemon but picking up a kill is a surprise to opponents and the...

One positive thing that I saw when thinking about Shedinja is that it doesn't need to do anything in return if you can isolate 1v1. Due to tiebreaking procedures for VGC you will always win 1v1 (first tiebreaker is HP percentage) As ck49 pointed out below - it is a percentage of total party...
