How are webs looking right now? I want to know if I can still run Modest Choice Specs Flutter Mane without worry.

Don't forget that Hawlucha in XY/SM OU also doesn't have the game mechanic of switching into a type that can potentially let you beat the few answers it may have once had.

Mainly because of Gliscor making its life hell. If it doesn't run Ice Spinner, then Gliscor gets to endlessly wall it and gets to just keep spamming hazards, meaning the move is a mandatory addition to Great Tusk's moveset and thus limits its versatility. Spin-centric sets have to have Rapid...

I did not think of Smeargle until you just reminded me that it has Technician and access to Population Bomb. I agree with DaddyBuzzwole that Power Trip would be better for an offensive set. Definitely gonna try that out when the Indigo Disk DLC drops, that sounds hilarious.

We aren't getting the Tera suspect until probably a good bit after the Indigo Disk DLC drops and all the stupid stuff is quickbanned.

I agree that Heavy-Duty Boots is the best item, it's the item I always run. Being able to ignore hazards makes it both harder to take down and better at dealing with enemy webs and with retreating. Quaquaval definitely doesn't do too well against Glimmora if it's a set-up variant, but four...

I've found Quaquaval to actually be not too bad in the current hyper-offensive metagame when placed on Sticky Web teams. Not having to worry about being outrun by Iron Valiant, Roaring Moon, and Iron Moth really helps the duck out, and would-be checks like Wellspring Ogerpon and Walking Wake...

Clodsire and Garchomp, while clearly having issues outside of this one, definitely got hurt by the tier being flooded with new Ground-Types. They are definitely still OU viable, what with Clodsire's good defensive profile and Garchomp having a good matchup against Hisuian-Samurott and both...

Calling act, my opponent has yet to respond.

Sad that I'll have to save my nickname I had for Chi-Yu for Ubers or if/when Tera + Excadrill returns, but I'm glad to see these three go.

It does, in fact, have Rock Head + Head Smash.

Yeah no one is gonna defend this thing seriously. It needs to go.

I am rather curious to see if Primeape would rise up if Annihilape were to be banned. Not sure how good it is as a substitute, but it sure would be interesting.

Boots Chien-Pao can be a pain if it gets a Swords Dance up in the mid-late game and Band is pretty hard to wall from the get-go. It has rather deceptive bulk as it can take neutral hits, even strong ones like a +1 Jolly Tera-Normal Dragonite's Extreme Speed (80 - 94.6%), which is impressive for...

Tyranitar not having Excadrill to buddy up with it in this offensive metagame really does hurt it and makes the drop justified, even if I think Tyranitar is being kind of slept on.
