    OU SPL XV BW Discussion (and now some tiering discussion)

    After reading through this thread, feels like a bunch of the ideas like unbanning Lugia, or banning Thund/Latios/Cloy is just fluff on the side that people divert into while the elephant in the room is Sand Force Excadrill and the related inconsistency in what is apparently acceptable under...

    Gen 3 Down in Flames - DD LiechiEdgeTar HO ft. Arcanine

    Down in Flames https://pokepast.es/6b211cb047f61eea So I've been having fun trying out ADV recently after I got a bit bored with modern gens. I rather like the creativity you can have in the teambuilder with the limited pokedex and the overall lower power level. I generally like to build more...

    SV OU Fire from the Gods - VoltTurn Moth Sun ft. Sandy Shocks

    I haven't really played OU since its release, but a quick glance through the damage calc makes me think that Specs Walking Wake could be a solid replacement for Moth that doesn't suffer from Flash Fire. Life Orb with EVs for speed boost under Sun is interesting too, but would want a slightly...

    np: SV UU Stage 2.1 - HandClap

    Grimmsnarl dropping is a surprise for sure. I was running Scream Tail screens HO while getting adjusted to the tier, but I guess it's time to swap. Only real advantage Scream has is SR and Encore, but Prankster Taunt to deny opposing hazards seems more valuable at a glance.

    SV OU Fire from the Gods - VoltTurn Moth Sun ft. Sandy Shocks

    Fire from the Gods https://pokepast.es/81a6971ddd45b782 Introduction. Alright, so I've had a lot of fun initially with S/V OU and I built a good amount of teams. It's worn off a bit now and I'm going to take a break until Home at least, but I wanted to drop one of my favorite teams first. One...

    Alright, I'll drop something fun, though it's got some weaknesses. Avalugg-Slowking BO https://pokepast.es/e1f29ab3364c7419 :avalugg: :slowking: :chien-pao: :dragonite: :kingambit: :skeledirge: Avalugg is a bit niche, but it's got insane defense, making it one of the few things that can switch...

    D>A>B>E (C is my own) I played a couple games with team D with some small changes and it felt very smooth, won all of them.

    Project SV OU - Lure That Threat Week 39 - Gliscor - Voting!

    :dragapult: and :skeledirge: are the most practical and generally useful sets of these imo. I've used that Dragapult set a decent amount in mid 1600s, and while not having a immediate ghost stab to threaten ghold is annoying, it can win quite a few late-games.

    According to Bulbapedia, you now only gain Adaptability on your new type. If it was one of your original types, it's a 2.25 boost instead. ' When a Pokémon with Adaptability is Terastallized, Adaptability has no effect on any type besides the Tera type. If the Pokémon's Tera type is one of its...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion

    Slowking is honestly quite good, but the Hail/Snow abusers are kind of meh (Ice Body Sub Baxcalibur has some legs but that's it), so it's basically Teleport with a different name now. I wish they had given Cetitan an Ice-type Wave Crash/Flare Blitz man.

    I mean, it's not like Salt Cure would be oppressive on literally any pokemon no matter who you gave it to. It just gives an otherwise passive mon an easy way to progress the game. Garg is one of the bulkiest pokemon out there (100/130/90 is incredible), that is also immune to status, that also...

    Project SV OU - Victim of the Week (Week 50: Choice Band Dragapult) [OPEN FOR SUBS!]

    :talonflame: is cool imo. Side-note: don't like this 'reserving' mons and then not even posting them. Reserving in general feels wack tbh.

    Honestly, I wouldn't be against a Garganacl suspect. Even with a typing as poor as pure Rock it lives a stupendous amount of things, but it can shed that typing too with Tera. Salt Cure is the easiest and free-est button ever to click as it nearly always causes some progress (Cloak counters...

    I really like that team, but I think you may have accidentally left off Defog on Corv, because right now it has no hazard removal unless it's on purpose with all the HDB. Otherwise though, looks amazing.
