I've always felt like Thunder Punch was kind of trash too, even if it hit Corviknight harder than Ice Punch, but with the amount of Lando and Garchomp that eventually have to heads-up against Buzzwole, Ice Punch just always gave me more mileage on most three attack+roost sets. Thunder Punch felt...

Reserving: A slot. Although I've been super busy going back to school this week for the first time in 11 years so I'm not sure I'll have time to test some spice and submit anything. Nor do I use that much Pex that I have any fun unsubmitted sets.

Bluecliqse BT89 Are we ready for the next cycle?

Scarf Lele has paired well with Shardless Weavile in the past for me. It can deal with a lot of the priority threats you listed.

I guess the conversation boils down to if you have to do all that to create positive circumstances for Scyther, and it still gets out performed by virtually everything else in that role, really only offering two borderline useful qualities in it's STABs, then is it really going to be worth the...

Make sure you actually post your set Bluecliqse ! We need to see that heat

There's plenty of mons in sore need of an article update, but with a new gen around the corner I don't expect very much. People's focus is rightfully elsewhere.

Chips other Lando/uturners. Punishes multi-hitters, letting it not be completely useless against Weavile/Urshi.

I agree with everything you said. I think people conflate the idea that because it's not dominating that it's somehow not uncompetitive, both those two concepts are not mutually exclusive. It doesn't have to be broken and at the top of the ladder for it to present issues when it comes to the...

I agree a lot with this sentiment. Having an intact Air Balloon Tran changes how you and your opponent have to play much more than other Tran sets. Your Balloon doesn't often survive past midgame, but a lot of times it feels like an intact Balloon late game can create interesting checkmate...
