    NU Bronzong (revamp)

    In either Checks/Counters or in Team Options for Ironpress Bronzong, I’d include mentions of Quagsire (esp vs Heatproof) and Sirfetch’d and Absol as between Unaware and Leek both can potentially thwart a sweep as they can bypass Iron Defense boosts; Bronzong will have an easier time if partners...

    NU Palossand [QC 2/2] [GP 1/1]

    I think a special mention in checks/counters is warranted for Braviary, since that one can set up Substitute absolutely for free unless it gets caught by Toxic. I think the overview can be tweaked slightly to highlight the advantages that are unique to Palossand when compared to typical...

    Metagame NP: NU Stage 8 - Spooky [Regidrago and Snorlax banned]

    Did people already forget how oppressive Hail was with just Arctovish and Sandslash as abusers? Subtract Flygon. I think there’s quite a few things in NUBL that can be retested instead- mons that don’t complete upheave the meta. There’s a case to be made for quite a few of them: :Pangoro...

    it’s not impossible, but it’s kinda unreliable. rendered useless by any one of rocky helmet, priority, and good opposing hazard play. by going itemless, you at least have a strongish STAB to control speed with during the early to mid game. people generally go to Salazzle paired with Xatu for the...

    NU Copperajah (revamp)

    In team options, especially for AV, I’d mention that a healthy Copperjah is great for soaking up the attacks of Starmie and such, which strongly benefits the likes of vulnerable slow breakers like Sirfetch’d and Golurk; Copperajah can also form a solid breaker core with them, as they have better...

    NU Heliolisk

    Q/C wrapped up quite the discussion regarding set viability; thanks for your patience. ADD Other comments go ahead Q/C 2/2 when this is done

    Resource SS NU Viability Ranking Thread

    Some general noms; :Celebi: Small Rise: Nasty Plot sets are very good against crucial pokemon; extremely versatile pokemon as well. healing wish is underutilized and can re-enable a lot of threatening stuff like glast/id zong/ etc :Copperajah: Small Drop: Outclassed, kinda requires wish...

    NU Diancie (revamp)

    Looks good to me. If there’s anything I would add, it would be a mention in Checks/Counters about how Diancie’s existence tends to draw out a lot of specific coverage for it, like Iron Head Tauros, Iron Tail Goodra, Hydro Pump Exploud, and the like. It got touched on in the overview, but I think...

    NU Glastrier

    Hoo boy, there was a lot to unpack in here. Meta's changed a lot since the time Jellicent and Qwilfish were ranked. I hope my writing's gotten better since then. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Changing to Q/C 1/2. Let me know if I missed any corrections and I'll put them in.
