  1. Metagame Linked

    Oh, thanks. As I was first expecting the linked moves to be like one "multi-hits move", this explanation didn't even cross my mind after, ahah.

    Not sure about speed tie thing. The other day, my Porygon2 and Slowbro both used Trick Room + Teleport. It ended up in Trick Room (porygon2), Trick Room (slowbro), Teleport (porygon2), Teleport (slowbro). But there is no way it was a speed tie (who would run a 68 EV speed Slowbro ?).

    Not everywhere. A lot of mon run a set-up move in first slot. If you get a free switch-in on a mon without multi-hit, you can be pretty annoying with that thing.

    * See that Linked is Other Metagame of the Months * Check the banlist. Everything still allowed (Magearna, Jirachi, Trick room...) * Rebuild my old team "OML, absolutely everyone is running Trick Room or Imprison Mew..." * Wondering why nobody uses Jirachi * Throw it on my team where it makes...
  5. Metagame Flipped

    What ? I'm really surprised by that ban, especially about the reasoning. "Improving priority moves" to balance a meta seems pretty odd to me. Sure, I didn't play a lot of games, but metas super priority-oriented seems quite unhealthy. Moreover, Snorlax doesn't hit that hard out of the box, and...
  6. Resource VGC 2019 Ultra Series Viability Rankings

    I'm no VGC expert, but I'm surprised to see Gyarados-Mega unranked. (And I would also have expected to see Xerneas, Lunala and Necrozma-Dusk higher, too ; but...) I guess Gyarados suffers the competition from other intimidate mons, but I feel Mold breaker allowing it to bypass Shadow Shield...

    Here is an old team I built with Z-mirror move Combusken : https://pokepast.es/ba2f83dbe9a1f0e5 I also included some (sometimes useful) stuffs to know about Mirror move. Z-mirror move Blaziken in Uber should also be interesting since it generally beats P-Groudon (you protect on Precipices...
  8. Metagame Inheritance

    Am I the only one who hate to face spore in this kind of meta ? I mean, what are sleep inducing moves anyway ? If there is a wake-up after one turn, then it didn't really accomplish anything. So when you click a sleep inducing move it's just "let's try to get lucky to buy some free turns". That...

    I was waiting to see if the pro-ban camp would give convincing explanations, but without it, I'll stay by my : NO BAN

    80% will be too high for me. But I'm surprised we're actually suspecting Battle Bond. I feel there are way more broken things than Greninja. For a lot of mons, if you let them set-up, you might be snowball swept (Dragon/Quiver Dancers, SD Timid Kartana, Z-HappyHour Jirachi who might flinch you...

    So, of course, everyone has seen this team since the video that aim did with it. At some point, I felt the ladder kind of adapted to counter it. But it still managed to have tools to deal with most of things, so I guess it's a team decent enough. My current version of it ...

    I have being trying a little with TR, and here are some thoughts about the mons I have tried : Right now, I feel that the best setters would be Magearna (VoltSwitch) + Carbink (Explosion) + Cresselia/Uxie (Lunar Dance / U-turn) ; with one or two Mental Herb (especially on Carbink)...

    I'm not familiar with the Imprison mechanic, but I wonder whether this was normal / intended : https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7linked-958368702 At turn 7, I predicted a switch, and thus click TrickRoom (linked with Rain Dance). However, I get an error message, because TrickRoom is...

    A ZU team with Z-mirror move + TR : https://pokepast.es/6ff1a54b5da7b0c2 (I didn't play ZU recently, but I'm still in the top 200, so I guess it's decent enough)
  16. Metagame Follow the Leader

    I had a random thought "a team ~ immune to status moves would be so cool", and I quickly built a silly team just to test it and see how bad the idea was. But the team somehow worked more decently than I thought. Half of the team is meh, but : Snorlax can be SO good with a recovery option +...

    I don't know. I feel like, there are a lot of strategies you have to prepare for, putting a lot of pressure on teambuilding. For me normalize is one among a lot of them. I find electrify pretty hard to face, too. But you have so many options (6! = 720) that nothing seems impossible to deal with...
