If they're running 3 atks, they could go power herb meteor beam to boost the damage output + starstorm + earth power, almost like a little lunala without the ability to set its own trick room

With Reg G announced (assuming no April Fools day joke), I think it's time to paste the team that will truly define the meta (or at least be cool enough to make people want to try to use Iron Valiant) :miraidon: :iron-valiant: :ogerpon-wellspring: :gholdengo: :landorus-therian: :chi-yu: Future...

I would never say that the existence of checks makes a mon bad, especially in a metagame with tera. If Kyogre runs tera grass then standard Ogre checks like Ogerpon-W, Raging Bolt, non u-turn variants of Rilla, and even Amoonguss (assuming it's not running something like sludge bomb) won't be as...

I wonder if EVing for a SpAtk boost from proto would be better on the scarf sets on your rain teams. That way, if the opponent sets up sun you can benefit from it by doing a bit more damage and I'm not sure if the extra speed the protosynthesis boost would give you is super worth (unless you...

Since I have a bunch of Gen 9 GS Cup (ie double restricted) teams in my builder that are just kinda sitting there looking pretty and collecting dust, I want to share some of them with the people in case they need a sample team that they can use while dipping their feet into the waters of a Gen 9...

⬇⬇⬇This son of an Uber is beating high ranking ladder teams and basically, you are hella goofy. Click here to find out how!➡https://pokepast.es/4255608e55242d6a Zacian is definitely still S tier. It has one of the best speed stats amongst all relevant mons, its typing is phenomenal, and it...

Kilowattrel for S tier Despite not seeing a super high amount of usage on showdown in the early days of the VGC23 Series 1 format, I think this mon is capable of applying more pressure than any other flying type in the format (except maybe dnite, although it usually terastals into a normal...

Im requesting to have the ponies get a replacement player for me, I sustained a physical injury and do not feel capable of playing anymore, I don’t want the whole team to be hindered because I can’t play

I came here to mention this. This bug happens with every spread move, and you can't just not select a target, but you can't use the move at all

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8randombattle-1010641742 So uh kings shield doesn’t weaken the power of max moves, I’m only two hours into the actual game so I don’t know if that’s a real mechanic or not but I feel like it’s not?
