    Announcement Regarding Sleep Clause in National Dex OU: Community Input

    What is your stance on sleep as a mechanic under the current Sleep Clause? Is it balanced or uncompetitive? Sleep Clause is enough of a blanket fix to keep it from being broken and unmanageable, outside of Z-Hypnosis (in my opinion). That said, I do not believe it is healthy even with Sleep...

    100%. It felt like people forgot that Gholdengo’s most well-known trait (Good as Gold) was forgotten about when people were trying to somehow compare Aegislash to Gholdengo. This thing also has no recovery unless you give it Leftovers :leftovers:— in which case it becomes a Garganacl victim...

    I've been having a lot of fun and decent success with Mega Medicham. I'm not super huge into laddering or tournaments, I just play when I feel like it and play with the mons I want to try out while trying to keep a pretty decent understanding of the metagame, so feel free to take what I say with...

    UR -> S :maushold: ||| This thing is NOT fair. Back in my day, multi-hit moves could only hit up to five times, and this thing can hit up to ten times? That's seriously uncompetitive and broken, especially when everyone knows that better players always get the max amount of hits on less skilled...

    This is far from a reasonable argument to use against something. Some things are linear because they are good. Espathra was linear, but that didn't stop it from being good, no? Zamazenta is also anything but linear. It has three different viable sets, with the CB variant having a plethora of...

    Tera in National Dex: Where do we stand now?

    I think Terastalization is a fun concept in theory, but it is anything but healthy. I don’t hate the mechanic, but I think I can relatively speak for almost anyone when I say that it is frustrating to lose to an opponent’s well timed terastalization, with little to no foresight on what type...
