As someone who has been playing a ton of webs since DLC dropped, I don't get the Ribombee hype. Every webs mon is garbage, but the way in which they are garbage is what you're picking and choosing for your team. Bee's speed really doesn't matter, your entire team is built around speed control...

Found a mon that caught about a billion strays in the death of transfer moves, muk-a lost clear smog, pursuit, and sneak. Which is a super shame for AV sets that would have got drain punch this gen. AV with knock, drain, gunk/jab, and coverage punch of your choice just doesn't look like it has...

As someone who has just been playing gen 9 this month, what happened here? Is UU opening in Alpha too or is like 30% of UU's banlist Ubers pokemon for the month? Was power creep just that bad this gen? In regular OU I assumed a large part of it was the fact that many OU staples were either...

Bulletproof is illegal, correct? I would say that Assault Vest would be this thing's best shot at surviving the moves that Bulletproof would have helped with. Fluffy is a really good ability anyway, I would say stick to what you're good at (Phys. tanking) and leave the Aura Spheres to anything...

There are plenty of dumb af mechanics in this game, that's why tiers exist. We can ban things that are uncompetitive in this environment, that's the reason people prefer these tiers to BSS. Battle Stadium is a NIGHTMARE right now, even compared to this, and I don't think any mechanic should be...

I'm waiting for Showdown to work things out before I get in on this metagame, the flaws aren't massive but it's a deterrent for now. Why does it seem like the assumption is that there are 3 Max Moves? Yes, Fighting, Flying, and Poison are the most blatantly terrifying moves, but I don't see why...

If someone knows when the fossils come, judging by dex position I imagine they might also be on this list.

Words of warning for anyone else looking to use Dragapult, it comes *incredibly* late, from what I can tell. I was considering trying to grab an egg and use Dreepy throughout the game, but it doesn't learn any moves until it evolves at Level 50, so that is not a great option either. I had to...

While Intelleon objectively got the short end of the stick here, people are severely underrating Sniper atm. It both outdamages and outspeeds Critdra. I figured there would be some form of Greninja 2.0 in the starter set, but I didn't expect it to be so true. Hopefully it's coverage is tamer...

Not that it's a huge deal or anything, but why would heart stamp and heal order be cut? It's not like twineedle, who's user isn't in the game. Vespiquen and Swoobat are both in. Just a bit strange to me

Most Fighting types that like Body Press like Bulk Up + Drain Punch more, but depending on what type of Pokemon learn the TR, it could provide some really nice coverage. Runerigus might use it? Fighting type coverage is useful but Superpower and Close Combat are already so widely distributed...

The legendary birds would have loved these boots. Zapdos less than the others, but having Roost makes forgoing Leftovers a lot easier on them. Moltres might see some more usage in Nat Dex OU, with it already being (slightly) usable this gen. If hail stall somehow makes the rise that people are...

The Bounsweet line?
