You're completely right there yeah, my bad. I didn't think about Toxic and Teleport being removed from its arsenal (and when you think about it, it's probably the reason why Pokémon like Hippowdon are really rare at the moment). I agree that a lot of moves getting cut from its arsenal...

I honestly disagree. WCOP and High ladder are (I guess) the best indicatives to see what is viable. And defensive teams are getting ran over by a sweeper every single game. In fact the few times stall has been used in WCOP this round 1, it has been beaten every single one iirc. Defensive play is...

1. Ting Lu is a necessary evil. I think it is a really strong Pokémon that stomps most of the OU roster 1v1 easily and can set up hazards on the process, by all definitions, for me, it is a broken mon and arguably stronger than some ubers were before getting banned. However, without it Raging...

Usually (at least from my experience playing and watching, perhaps I'm wrong) defensive counterplay in Pokemon is an answer to the offensive play, it's hard to predict defense (you won't double a Corv or a Dondozo in most of the time) so the "defensive player" would get worn down faster through...

I think an item clause rule would destroy OU and either make Spikes / Stealth Rock would get banned right away or a cascade of 10 bans (easily) would happen. First of all, VGC and OU are really different. Hell, DBOU and VGC are really different. Singles 6v6 with no timer aganist 4v4 with timer...

To not make it a one liner, I agree with you on your Zamazenta point (half of it) I don't think Zamazenta is the "best" in the tier, but it's clearly a top tier and at least top 5. As Moyashi said, Zamazenta is useful in every game, can clean up a lot of teams under a bit of chip damage and has...

Not wanting to sound rude, but do you really, really think that a company that clearly acknowledges player like Pokeaimmd or WolfeGlick, does not know what Pokémon Showdown is? Like, after idk, 13 years? Of being consistently more played than their games and being avaliable on PC, mobile...

If Tera Blast were to be tested, and then banned, I think that we shouldn't drop any of the Pokemon banned before the move was banned. The tier's getting into a better place, and while I'm sure it could improve with a couple more bans down the line will improve the tier (I don't know about Uber...

In my opinion Darkrai isn't a suspect - tier Pokémon, at least not for now. With Sleep banned, it's an ability-less Pokémon that, while having a really good speed tier, it's outspeed by common, healthy Pokémon in the tier (Dragapult, Zamazenta, booster speed Pokémon like Valiant), is neutral...

Enjoyability: 7 The game has gotten quite better to play since the Moon's ban, as I said before it wasn't my priority but it was a change in the right direction. You still face a lot of MU fish which is quite lame but in general the game is a lot more fun to play at the moment. You can be a bit...

Tera Blast is a high risk high reward strategy that I don't know if it's "uncompetitive" since most of the arguments you can say about it (encouraging defeating a counter, fishing for good MUs, risking all on one Pokémon, mostly strong on offense) can easily be applied to tera itself...

After almost a year of saying (actually, perhaps a whole year) that Alolan Muk is good I’m so happy more people are seeing its potential. I think that A-Muk has gotten better with every tier shift and it is gonna get even better over time. Poison Fang + Knock Off aganist any non Gliscor core...

Dragonite in my honest opinion is not broken, tho I do think it has been a top tier choice since day 1 and will still be a top tier when the gen ends, whatever the future bans are. Like lowkey top 5 right now and at its "lowest" points never below the top 15-10 Dragonite is not in the same...

In my opinion, Grassy Terrain teams were much better when Gouging Fire was on the tier. They're still good, and some structures like Seed Hatt / Ghold / Bolt + Lucha + some Dnite check that can appreciate grassy's passive recovery (Dondozo maybe? Or Bulky Treads) I think that still have...

The Roaring Moon's ban is gonna make the tier better imo, it was a good call. I don't think the job's finished tho, we have to aim at Kyurem, Gliscor or Waterpon now. Going back to Moon, I was testing it on the ladder when I had a bit of time for the last couple of weeks and it's too strong and...

I think that I've seen the Araquanid custap berry + Moth Tusk Gold Bolt team on the ladder than any other team this last two months, and most of the mid ladder where I've been testing (1600 - 1800s) is either BO or straight up HO. Araq Webs is on an all time high, Ribombee Web is still good...

I've recently been testing Yanmega on a fresh account for a couple of days (just got to the 1700s so I think I can now kinda estimate how good it is) and I think...That while not meta or extremely good, it's honestly not that bad. :yanmega: it's bug season :yanmega: Gotta give credits to...

Just got top 15 on the ladder using (replay from the match) my Alolan - Muk team! Pretty happy all things considered, this game it really cooked I'm thinking about making a, RMT is it called? A post talking about the team, and how I think A-Muk is still underated in OU, would you guys be...

Replay from a cool Roaring Moon While it didn't win (since I was a bit lucky with the freeze, gotta admit it) I think that this tera bug Roaring Moon set has potential. I know people are exploring TB Fairy right now, but I wanted to highlight Bug since, in a pinch, it is a really interesting...

Got back into the 1800s so to celebrate it I made my personal VR for SV OU: Alolan Muk is the goat and the more I use it the more I think it could even be rated above stuff like Pincurchin but for now this is my ranking. Meowscarada and Skarmory are extremely bad, Ting Lu is the most...
