Double post for my personal thoughts for each thing in the survey
Magic Bounce
Id give this a
3. Its a real pain every time you face it, and enami has a good enough matchup into most hazard setters if you give it covert cloak, so i wouldnt mind seeing it gone
Drizzle
a very heavy
4. For the record, when doing the vote for mecha santa, i also advocated for voting on pelipper, bc it has uturn and knock and a dummy strong move. This was before all the really good offensive waters came in dlc btw.
Drought
a light
3. Ive tried using Nplot Lo
Ninetales!Future Volcarona in Screens HO and it has disappointed me at every turn. Every miss, every low roll. I can only take so much. And it sucks ass as a setter for other teams bc it doesnt have any moves that are good on mons in that role like hazards, pivoting, recovery, etc. I also dont think much of sun as a whole bc the abusers are kinda specific too, and there arent many good fire types in the tier. However, i cant rate too low anything that has a chance to ohko av goodrah from full with a neutral move:
+2 252 SpA Life Orb Iron Moth Overheat vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Goodra-Hisui in Sun: 313-370 (85.9 - 101.6%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
Tauros/Sheer Force
a heavy
3. Tauros!Infernape is pretty annoying to face, and lives up to the hype of last gen's SF boosted terrors. However, it is relatively slow, and Clefable coming back with focus punch really ate his lunch with its more varied movepool and mg letting you actually use mons like thundy. The other potential abusers either are rock weak, or are a ghost, which have a propensity to eat shit vs Garg donors and suffer bc shadow ball is somewhat weak. When nidoking comes back all hell will break loose, youll see
Contrary
a light
3. Lurantis only learns 3 whole moves for its physical sets, and 1 for its special sets, but its still a potentially scary set to face if you dont have a gholdengo. This would be much much better if one of the most common pokemon wasnt a bulky ghost, but i guess unaware also checks it.
Goodra-Hisui
1. just run mixed sets/sub cm on it, idiot :5head:
Unaware
light
2. Unaware i guess you could say got balanced by power creep this gen, huh?
Darkrai
a heavy
2. Darkrai is so funny. It has 1.5 sets, none with much flexibility, but the one real set is has is so powerfull you HAVE to respect it. clawitzer!darkrai out performs most other potential sets just by the fact that aura sphere chunks goodrah so much, even before taking into account that it also has the strongest dark pulse, but it lacks ways of hitting fighting types, and it doesnt have any funny or cool covearge worth exploring beyond those two + a move to hit fairies.
Future Gallade
5. I predicted before mixed sets would one day bring the tier to its knees, but this only came to fruition with the return of the clef, a great improvement over the essencially abilityless enami and mew i initially suggested. It also doesnt help that dlc also gave it its noctowl set, just to add to the many ways this mon can rip your soul out
Hazard Stack
Im team "ban ghold just for being a easy to fit spinblocker" for this one. hazard stack really has no good solution. I dont thing GaG would particularly solve anything, as right now neither it or defog see high levels of usage. defog donors are just not that good. and you could argue taking the most common spinblocker from most teams could be for naught as people can still run dedicated blocker like annihilape or spiritomb if they really wanted to. If we were to play current day meta for like a year or so, i would see myself eventually doing a spikes suspect honestly.
are you having a nice day :)
yes :)
