just wanna ask, who made your profile picture?

turns out, ice is a pretty good offensive typing when they don't need to deal with losing 25% of their health each time they come in. that obviously isn't the only factor in why ice types are so much better now (weavile getting triple axel and kyurem getting freeze dry are big factors as well)...

Thanks for the response! Yeah Zekrom seems to still be great, I never thought of how the decrease in physically defensive Necrozma-DM would benefit Zekrom in that regard. On a side note, I wonder if Zekrom will still be able to keep up if Primal Groudon, Arcues forms, and Megas return.

Why did Zamazenta-C rise? That was honestly a shock Also, I suprised Zekrom rose. I thought it would drop after Zacian was banned and the Necrozma-DM + Yveltal + Eternatus core would become less popular.

thanks for the response! I think if I do try to go for a long streak with CB Aero, it would prolly be in the pyramid, as it achieves OHKOs on quite a lot of the wild pokes I would be a bit difficult to teambuild with tho. I'm thinking Aero + Bliss and some sort of tank that can take physical...

one last question: would you say that it's worth it to have sub on milotic to try and dodge OHKO users? I would likely run a set of surf/toxic/recover/sub if that was the case. I wouldn't like missing out on ice beam but things like mence are prolly still manageable. (I"m also aware that's not...

I see... without Torment Steelix + pressure or without Skarmory, there doesn't seem to be much of a way to near-guarantee a win vs OHKO users. I'll prolly just use a bulky attacker-like Steelix with Explosion. Thanks for the help!

I see.... how viable would switching between steelix and a bulky water to deplete sheer cold's pp would be? I assume it wouldn't be b/c OHKO users aren't guaranteed to pick their OHKO moves on a poke that can die to it but idk edit: I meant to say that the aren't guaranteed to use OHKO moves on...

Just wanted to know, with a Calm Protect + Torment Steelix, how do you play against Walrein 4? Surf does over 70 percent to it and even if you manage to torment it, it will still be able to kill Steelix with one of its coverage moves My plan with my team (Aerodactyl, Steelix, Milotic) is to...

I was thinking of pairing milotic with steelix to cover electric types. Stacking double water weaknesses is p bad but milotic can usually stall out water types (outside of OHKO users but that's where Steelix comes in handy), which Swampert can't really do. Although maybe I should consider...

Yeah milo def seems like the better choice. stacking electric weaknesses isn't great but aero is so frail that it doesn't really count. Thanks for the advice! Also, yes, I was absolutley gonna name him Ridley

thanks for the response! how good do you think CB aerodactyl is?

I see. I unfortunately don't have colosseum, so if I wanna use Suicune, I have to settle with bad IVs.

also, how viable would frlg suicune be? I wonder if bad ivs would be too much of a hindrance.
