Does the first time stellar boost expend when a move fails, or does it need to hit first? Think Thunderclap/Sucker Punch/Protect/dead upon switch-in .

On CB sets you should have both Flare Blitz and Raging Bull imo. The power under sun is quite unreasonable, resists don't mean much to it. Scale Shot lets it outspeed Pult at +1 even with adamant so it has cleaning potential too. Specs Wake + Band Fire in sun with a hat is a free pass to the...

That and a banded First Impression or Axe Kick asks a lot from your defensive core. It accentuates what sets it apart, but I'm not sure what kind of build would warrant its usage over Gambit.

AV is a popular one, it serves as a decent check to Ghold, Basc-F among others. Staying alive longer and having that surprise bulk is great for getting an extra layer up. SD can be a nasty surprise against weakened balance teams. The speed tier is not great but you have great priority options...

Ursaluna is a monster when positioned correctly, but surely not a large enough threat on its own to catch a quickban? Stop the TR or simply sack into revenge kill, there are enough guys who can take him out with minimal chip. If you're getting swept by this thing that's honestly on you. I...

All these stored power pussies taking away defensive spikes mag from us :( Can't have shit in Paldea

WW is incredibly good and I could see it getting 50% usage before Home drops, like Great Tusk before it. However, I don't believe its ability as a wallbeaker goes beyond what we've been dealing with since day 1. Adapting your gameplan to handle more boosted dracos/crashes/pumps should be part of...

thats an outrageous comparison. the calcs don't come close. I saw your last response but still wtf Chien-Pao is most threatening with a band set and with that set its breaking ability similar to something like CB Tar. I don't see the problem there until tera comes into the equasion. You can't...

With Chien-Pao I'm really at a place where I think "this thing is so cracked" but also feel we need it the same way we needed lando last gen. Its sucker and speed alone keeps so much garbage at bay and HDB sets are somewhat honest. I feel so evil tera dark +2suckering my way thru teams. Please...

Iron defence Corv completely walls unless it’s tera fire. Teams commonly only have a chi-yu to efficiently dispatch it so it’s a pretty nice wall to build around in my experience.

1pp Revival blessing is already gamebreaking and Leppa berry takes the piss. And Sleep Talk? Why even bother knocking mons out. I can't think of a playstyle where you wouldn't want the option of reviving multiple pokemon, not to mention the support/priority/firepower/unpredictability Pawmot has...

Annihilape's Rage Fist is one broken ass move. Screens + chestorest is a gameshark hack. I'm glad it's being overlooked because of how fun it is to pilot, but I wouldn't be surprised if this thing just takes over the meta for a couple of days at some point.

(very late reaction sorry) I love Iron Bundle and I think it has a chance at being a healthy presence with the Booster Energy update. Modest Agility (cleaner) and Timid booster (cleaner/revenge killer) sets should be manageable now. Freeze-dry helps contain Palafin to a degree, which is...

I'm surprised how few people are complaining about Gholdengo here. It's role compression is absurd and counter-play seems severely limited, especially considering the variety of sets it can run. It can be run on basically any team and does way, way too much to be healthy for the meta imo. I wish...

wrt Sun I'll probably load up a band Roaring Moon + specs Flutter Mane and just click buttons until they get banned. I'll try to enjoy a stab-only Scovillian in a Heatran-less metagame but I suspect it may be a bit disappointing as a lot of the paradox mons will be out-speeding you anyway, even...
