  1. Project Metagame Workshop (OM Submissions CLOSED)

    To be fair, have you seen its movepool lately? There's a reason it's allowed in Trademarked lol. It's probably broken given its bottomless coverage, but it has an awful STAB and no way of using its bulk to setup outside Rock Polish. I feel like most metagames where it gets banned are down to...
  2. Project Metagame Workshop (OM Submissions CLOSED)

    Basically think how stall is capable of making battles last 100 turns and give them a Max Revive every 14 turns. Yeah. No. Me and my brother gentleman'd out the Wonder Launcher whenever we were playing on cart because battles took forever, and that was with in game teams.
  3. SS Ubers ICED SEAS: A 2 UBER TRICK ROOM TEAM 1570+ PEAK

    Hi! I love me a good Trick Room and this build looks really solid. I have a few suggestions that could improve it however: :calyrex-ice: Are there any particular benchmarks NMI hits? Otherwise you could run Leftovers or a recovery berry to give Caly-I even more longevity. With how often it...
  4. Unpopular opinions

    Ok so basically this and all kinds of similar weird-looking roadblocks in BW(2) come from a very conscious design choice Game Freak made in Gen 5. There is only ONE point in both games combined where a HM is required to progress: the Dreamyard in BW1. This effectively is a HM tutorial, the game...
  5. Unpopular opinions

    Re: type chart changes in Gen 6, they were clearly meant to balance out the best typings, but that didn't really happen in practice. The thing is Steel and Poison have underlying issues as offensive typings outside their lacking SE matchups. Steel is resisted by Water and Steel, the two best...
  6. Resource SS OU DLC2 Viability Ranking Thread [SEE: Page 105, Post 2618]

    Also while it is true that slow U-turn beats fast U-turn, fast U-turn beats hard switch in your Ground. It's the Regieleki effect, minus the risk. And much like Regieleki, once your Ground with 0 reliable recovery goes down, Koko can just style on you for fun with its massive speed and powerful...
  7. Project Metagame Workshop (OM Submissions CLOSED)

    So it's literally just 1v1 no Team Preview but you have a death fodder slot. Like, I was joking when I suggested Monomons, but this sounds way less interesting than even that.
  8. Project Metagame Workshop (OM Submissions CLOSED)

    So wait, you're limited to 1 Drillbur and 1 Excadrill and that's your entire team to fight all 5 Slows or a 6 Eeveelution team ok that is dumb. Literally just play no Team Preview 1v1 instead.
  9. Project Metagame Workshop (OM Submissions CLOSED)

    As above, but I'm curious as to what advantage you're expecting to gain by using Drillbur over Excadrill.
  10. Project Metagame Workshop (OM Submissions CLOSED)

    There's a difference between: "oh no I loaded Water into Dragon welp time to spam Ice Beam like there's no tomorrow and play around Kyurem carefully so it doesn't Freeze Dry my entire team" and "ah shit I loaded 6 Excadrill into 6 Corviknight, well I lose lol" I already suggested Monomons a year...
  11. Project Metagame Workshop (OM Submissions CLOSED)

    Basically it's going to in practice boil down to both players using 6 of the same mon, which is a more memey version of no Team Preview 1v1.
  12. Bet Your First Born- Newcomb's Paradox Edition (See post #10)

    "'I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, 'for proof denies faith and without faith I am nothing.' 'Ah,' says Man, 'but the Babel Fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It proves you exist, and so therefore you don't.' 'Oh dear I hadn't thought of that,' says God, and promptly vanishes in a puff...
  13. Bet Your Life - The Riemann Hypothesis

    And for an encore, proving the axiom of choice would be a neat follow-up too.
  14. Other Metagames [Balanced Hackmons] Desolatium

    That would work for KB, but then you have 4 other mons to Improof (assuming you use PH Fini so it's self-Improof). My best advice I can give is spend some time playing with sample teams and learn how they Improof their team members that give Imposter opportunities, as well as extensively using...
  15. Bet Your Life - The Riemann Hypothesis

    What if it's undecidable?
