There are two issues here: 1) whether sleep clause is itself outdated/incompatible with modern tiering principles (a claim which may affect sleeps present in future gens); and 2) whether sleep is broken in current Gen IX OU, even with current sleep clause, or if it might just be darkrai that is...

I just posted this in the OU survey form, but I decided I may as well post it here. Also, based on Finch's posts I am aware that there will likely be a suspect test very soon, which is something that I don't really agree with. I want to voice my hesitancy with this decision, but I also want to...

Melmetal: Do Not Ban

Just got reqs, but this is one of the few OU suspects I have observed where I am still feeling split (leaning towards no ban though). That being said, since I have nothing much to contribute myself and many of the points made here have become redundant, I would be curious to know the opinion of...

Confirming as OUTD Wraks3 :jirachi: edit: confirmed

Haven't really been playing since the kyurem suspect but I wanted to comment on some of these sets. I have experimented with (and seen others use) this before, I do think that scarf/specs is probably better, but it can mess up bulky teams. I do want to suggest an alternative sub CM set that I...

Kyurem: Ban

Confirming as OUTH Wraks3

Adding on to this, I have seen ID/Body Press magnezone with magnet rise to trap melmetal (Some choose to run magnet rise+chople berry as well in case of superpower); I don't think it is super common but if you really want melmetal gone this will guarantee it.

I don't care much about the vagaries of the current OU VR. Especially in a youngish metagame, the VR can be very trend dependent, and also whether something is say a B vs B+ or A- vs A rank pokemon isn't very important to me. In my opinion, almost everything in C+ or above (maybe C and above if...

Regarding these things as well as King's Rock, is there any idea when we can expect the next player base survey? (lol I don't mean to pressure you or anyone else on the council with this, I know it's a lot of work and you are all busy with other stuff, and I appreciate that you guys are...

I think this is a cool and creative idea, and I am sure you have had success with it, but in practice I feel scarf hydreigon is superior to this 99% of the time. Here are some comparisons between scarf hydreigon and scarf moltres-g: 1) Hydreigon is slightly faster, with 98 base speed instead...

lol I hate to break your heart but toxtricity just got straight murdered so I have no clue what set it was, here is the replay though https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen8ou-563436

Ok, these people telling you Gravity isn't worth it, they are smart. They mean well. But there are somethings in this world that you can only understand with a stupid unga bunga brain. https://pokepast.es/4cc42ba35d8f86e1 This is the legendary JT sand; Blunder didn't create it but he...

Sorry to contribute to the ban talk some more (and the following mass of solid text), but I wanted to throw in my 2 cents on the dragapult discussion (I had an earlier post which extensively outlined my feelings on the slowtwins, and I largely still agree with my statement, in that I think they...
