Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
personally i just changed my lando-t set from the commonly run ep/gknot/rocks/u-turn back to a physical eq/rock tomb/rocks/u-turn. the classic max hp max def lando spread lives any hit from volc at +1 and kills back with rock tomb, and even if volc teras and lives, you reduce its speed to avoid...
Confirming as ouww deli !
The team I used is a pretty well known one, with some changes from me:

It's time for another off-meta (bad) pick post ! In a meta where everyone struggles to find good kyurem answer and people refuse to run levitate bronzong, I decided to start experimenting with the number one sturdiest special wall in the game not named blissey: Regice. Sporting 200 spdef and a...
I like the idea of offensive ting lu. I remember getting surprised by it a few times on the ladder back in predlc meta and thinking there may actually be work to be done right there. Something like an AV set could potentially be an extreme annoyance when coupled with a wishpasser like mola...
Damn yeah my bad I didn't think of the fact they added gouging fire now lol. But it used to really be the strongest (outside of self ko moves, which i also forgot to mention lol). Well done though this really puts things into perspective. Is there any mon who could live that golem hit without...
In the midst of the OU metagame discussion thread's 409th annual upcoming ban debacle, take a break and enjoy this gravity team destroying stall by clicking right here. Fun fact: hustleband Flapple using grav apple in gravity is the strongest unboosted physical hit in the tier, surpassing band...
What the fuck does a mechanic being unbalanced even mean ? Everyone benefits from it the same. A mon can be deemed unbalanced if it gives a clear advantage to people bringing it compared to those that do not. But everybody has tera, so this doesnt make any sense. You could argue for it being...
Honestly I feel like the meta right now is (almost) perfectly balanced and no bans are needed right now. All mons have several options for counterplay and none of them feel extremely egregious. Mons can get past their counters using tera, but they could do so in previous gens simply by running...
yo blunder, back with some more heat after the broloassal team (great vid btw, ty for using my team)
this time it's for the crazy new tier Pokebilities - https://pokepast.es/046dd47e4bbc74e6, made top 30 extremely quickly with this
replay against the #1 guy on the pokebilities ladder -...
Very nice post, it's good to see what's going inside the mind of the council members. Could I get your opinion on overqwil, and why you guys deemed it wasn't worth ranking, especially when you kept kingdra in there :?
Overqwil was not ranked :'(
The drops (in particular torn and comfey the fake mfs) are nice even though imo kingdra should have been unranked entirely. also agree with the breloom UR talk, that mon is not doing anything in OU without spore, sd loaded dice technician sets hits extremely hard but...
hey blunder, hope you're having a good day. check out this coalossal goob nut: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2092344476-8nst73qtamqqcvefz7g55b5xrfjnapdpw
