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.
Bro I dunno if one of us messed up the calcs but +1 adaptability tbolt+discharge is WAY stronger than ur calcs give it credit for:Now I haven't played this meta yet so I'm not too sure about the viability of the set in question, but I just thought I'd let u all know about the power of this beast...
I'm not advocating for a Lando suspect/ban, but some of the logic used in the anti-ban arguments are kinda dumb.
First of all, saying the meta would fall apart is pure speculation and theorymonning.
Second, and more importantly, I'm seeing a lot of shit like "lando checks other mons and makes...
I question the usefulness of sap sipper Azu.
One of the arguments is that it lures and traps Pex and Ferro, but +6 knock off does like 94% min to spd pex (by far the most common set from my experience because ash gren is broken) and a similar amount to physdef ferro, so after some rocks chip...
He used +1 modest adaptability electric Porygon-Z for that calc. Not entirely sure why he didn't just copy paste it:
+1 252+ SpA Adaptability Porygon-Z Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Toxapex: 376-444 (123.6 - 146%) -- guaranteed OHKO
I feel if Porygon-Z were ever to rise it would be because of the NP Z-Hyper beam set. Z-Conversion kinda fails as a sweeper because (as many others before me have outlined in greater detail) it's a little too slow, a little too weak and not quite bulky enough, basically. (if it could setup...
To expand on your point a little, in team-building you can get away with not running dedicated lando checks/counters to make ur team not weak to Lando.
Like sure if ur weak to z-move lando u could bring physdef HP ice bronzing...but when was the last time you've seen physdef HP ice bronzong?
U...
On phone rn so excuse potential sloppy grammar and pacing while I post my thoughts on big N
What pushes Naganadel over the edge imo is beast boost, because it's kinda like arena trap where counter play becomes limited to non-existant.
Like against normal setup sweepers you can just stay in and...
