ok i changed itI sacrifice myself to be the bringer of the news, suicune is currently ranked B-.
Don’t run that set, run this instead:nominating suicune b-> b
set:
Suicune @ Wacan Berry
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 128 Def / 212 SpA / 168 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Mirror Coat
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Icy Wind
Suicune is a mon with amazing bulk. 100 hp, 115 on both defenses, and only 2 weaknesses which is pretty good. Of course, not the best special attack, but good enough. Wacan berry helps beat some bulky special electric mons like specs magnezone.
Moveset explanations: Mirror coat is for obvious reasons, to beat special attackers. Hydro pump is for phermosa, ice beam is for some zygarde, and icy wind to slow down pokemon with around 280 speed.
EV stuff: (not much lol)
252+ Atk Choice Band Pheromosa High Jump Kick vs. 0 HP / 128 Def Suicune: 288-340 (84.4 - 99.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
212 SpA Suicune Hydro Pump vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Pheromosa: 288-340 (101.7 - 120.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Naganadel Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 168+ SpD Suicune: 241-285 (70.6 - 83.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Beam vs. 0 HP / 168+ SpD Suicune: 300-354 (87.9 - 103.8%) -- 25% chance to OHKO
thats my first nomination lol it kinda sucks but i like using this mon and its fun to build around
oh coolDon’t run that set, run this instead:
Suicune @ Wacan Berry
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 188 HP / 68 Def / 180 SpA / 68 Spe
Bold Nature
- Ice Beam
- Icy Wind
- Hydro Pump
- Mirror Coat
Evs give you the same matchups as before, but add garchomp by clicking icy wind -> ice beam and surviving two outrages, and outspeeding after icy wind
just..... noDarmg A+ --> A
While darmg is a really strong mon, the problem with it is that its essentially a 50/50 machine with band and scarf against most teams which makes it hard to win consistently against players who are actually good at the game (or being ghosted by me)
Now, there are a lot of 2-set mons like this, but these sets usually cross over a lot of their matchups with each other, meanwhile darmg is out here losing to x4 weak to ice superpower zygarde over here (happened to me) and thunder wave fuckin togekiss because you were running the wrong set
Darmg is also very easy to set-predict on which makes the band/scarf 50/50s even worse
Zen mode sucks
I agree. It beats Whiscash.Kyurem is a very underrated threat in SS 1v1.
Band Zeraora:
252 Atk Choice Band Zeraora Close Combat vs. 116 HP / 88 Def Tyrantrum: 282-332 (84.4 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
(I think we all know eq kills back lol)
Imagine Reducing GDarm to 2 Sets...Darmg A+ --> A

Some more examples are sylveon 50/50ing band and scarf between endure and hard voice, or prim/fini losing to band but beating scarf, or just any scarf attacker beating band
Darmg is also very easy to set-predict on which makes the band/scarf 50/50s even worse
Zen mode sucks
What do you want me to add?Imagine Reducing GDarm to 2 Sets...
Darm g is good because you HAVE TO GUESS which set it is. On many teams, your scarf darm counter is different from your band darm counter which means you have to setguess which leaves room for getting baited by the set that beats you. Also, add zen mode prob.What do you want me to add?
Fucking burning jealousy assault vest? I only mentioned band and scarf because no one uses anything else (besides zen mode)
Salac berry exists for zen mode, thats about it.So yeah idk what they were on about. Most popular easily is scarf/band tho.What do you want me to add?

That's the classical set you see on the ladder.WP (Young's set) (Grimmsnarl) (M) @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 128 HP / 144 Atk / 208 Def / 24 SpD / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Light Screen / Power Whip
- Bulk Up
- Play Rough / Superpower
- Sucker Punch / Power Whip / Superpower
I wanted to show this thing. A first glance, that's a absurd set. And it is if you play on the ladder, it's like the name says a "Steel Lurer"made for tournaments, it beats almost all steel that could beat normally Grimmsnarl.Steel Lurer (LeCehlou) (Grimmsnarl) (M) @ Babiri Berry
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 200 HP / 212 Atk / 96 Def
Relaxed Nature
- Burning Jealousy / Fake Out
- Stomping Tantrum
- Sucker Punch
- Fake Out / Play Rough
Not the hero we deserved, but certainly the hero we neededGrimmsnarl from C- to C+ :
Firstly, a lot of Fairies will do better than Grimmsnarl vs the majority of the metagame (Tapu fini, for example has a better typing and is better), but Grimmsnarl is a niche fairy that can do others things.
That's the classical set you see on the ladder.
Light screen allow you to have a chance to beat some special attackers. Power whip allow you to beat Fini after taking the moonblast.
176 SpA Tapu Fini Moonblast vs. 128 HP / 24 SpD Grimmsnarl: 288-342 (79.3 - 94.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
The stabs allow Grimmsnarl to beat dragon that could normally beat a fairy :
Haxorus band : 252 Atk Choice Band Haxorus Poison Jab vs. 128 HP / 208 Def Grimmsnarl: 310-366 (85.3 - 100.8%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
Naganadel Specs :
252 SpA Choice Specs Naganadel Sludge Wave vs. 128 HP / 24 SpD Grimmsnarl through Light Screen: 280-331 (77.1 - 91.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+2 144+ Atk Grimmsnarl Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Naganadel: 282-333 (98.2 - 116%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO
That set beats a lot of physicals attackers with priority Bulk Up or Sucker Punch /
252 Atk Gorilla Tactics Darmanitan-Galar Icicle Crash vs. 128 HP / 208 Def Grimmsnarl: 238-282 (65.5 - 77.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
144+ Atk Grimmsnarl Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Darmanitan-Galar: 177-208 (50.4 - 59.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Life Orb Zeraora Plasma Fists vs. +1 128 HP / 208 Def Grimmsnarl: 138-164 (38 - 45.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
+1 144+ Atk Grimmsnarl Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Zeraora: 208-246 (65.6 - 77.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Others sets exists (but i will not explain them here, feel free to ask questions)

Kartana Band/Scarf, Scizor Occa/Band, Steelix, Metagross AV, Heatran Fast Balloon / Scarf, Ferrothorn, Magnezone Custap/Specs.
That's obviously not the best set at all, but in some team that could be exactly what you want (you still lose to Aggron and Celesteela)
Some C-/C/C+ ranked mons have only 1 or 2 really viable options, with Grimmsnarl you have more, and because it's not a high-tier mon you can lure a lot of other mon (Fini, steel, Physical attackers, depending on your set)
Around 13% in 1630 use Items different from scarf and band. That's a respectable number leaving room for the number of Darm-G Sets existing.What do you want me to add?
