    Metagame SV RU Metagame Discussion (April Shifts, see post #191)

    I have an interest in the current RU tier because OU is such a crapfest the lower tiers seem to always be the place to be. However, I do not see an up-to-date viability rankings anywhere. Am I blind? If not, where can I find one?

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Volcarona Suspect]

    Long story short just about everyone disagrees with each other because the metagame is so polarizing, it is unbelievably 50/50 from the outside looking in. No one can pick a direction and stick with it, there is way too much going on at once. Broken-checks-broken is about the worst it has been...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Volcarona Suspect]

    I dropped most engagement with the site after I decided to get a life, but I wanted to briefly state that I am disappointed with the results of the Gouging Fire suspect test. My personal hope was that it could be banned and we could make some progress after being in a broken-checks-broken...

    SV OU GRASSY SEED GOUGING FIRE || GRASSY SEED SPAM

    Speed-wise for Rillaboom, if the suggested changes are made does it make sense to drop some speed for HP? Enough to still outspeed Raging Bolt but also getting a little more bulk to shrug off boosted resisted Thunderbolt or unboosted Draco?

    Metagame Views From The Council

    Valiant only has two free moveslots and one item to make its sweep worthwhile in the case of Hypnosis. Not to mention that you need to bet on the opponent staying asleep, let alone hitting Hypnosis in the first place. Cheese is inherently high risk high reward. Most good teams have answers to it...

    Metagame Views From The Council

    To address the current sleep controversy: To be honest I will never understand the ban sleep side of things. When expected, sleep is easy to manage; Breloom and Amoonguss are prime examples of this because you can expect Spore most of the time. You can plan your pre-game accordingly, and it is...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Volcarona Suspect]

    Who casually makes an ambiguous statement about tera without elaborating? If you're gonna cherry pick what I'm saying to make a point at least own it lol. Kingambit smashes offensive Volcarona when it snowballs in the back for free the whole game. The bulky variations of Volcarona have mixed...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Volcarona Suspect]

    Raging Bolt, Gouging Fire, Heatran, Rockpon, Waterpon, Dragonite, etc. all good ways of controlling it. Roaring Moon, Walking Wake, Rillaboom, Serprior, Ting Lu, and Clefable, Clodsire, Dondozo, and Skeledrige are are fairly conditional based on the tera-type. The obligatorily late Kingambit as...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Volcarona Suspect]

    Couldn't agree more. Gliscor feels very in-the-pits right now because of all the additional counterplay we received DLC2. Par for the course we still have a lot of broken and / or unhealthy mons like DeoS, Kyurem, Roaring Moon, Serperior, and Volcarona; potentially Darkrai, Enamorus, and Iron...
