this isnt really true. boots glowking does an okay job either way although its shaky. the issue is that boots glowking is a way more splashable set than AV and to be honest there's already limited defensive counterplay to kyurem; either gking (with your argument that its only AV, a much less...

Some noms :ogerpon: -> A-/maybe A Very good mon. Mostly running mono-grass sucks but the combination of U-turn/knock/encore is fantastic at disrupting teams. Has great MUs into offense with its tera, not only boosting its speed but making its signature hit even harder, and encore is extremely...

Puts strain doesnt mean there's not counterplay. I think kyurem and wellspring are broken but they do have counterplay. It's just that its fairly specific counterplay.

I wanted to write a post actually discussing anti-ban arguments that have repeatedly come up in this thread. I obviously don't agree with them, and I want to explain why I think these arguments are flawed by actually engaging with them. By and large, the main anti-ban arguments have been: 1)...

Glowking potentially for balance, but Kingambit, Tusk, Dragapult and Landorus are also very splashable in general

Surprise, I'm voting ban. I don't actually think Volcarona is the most broken thing in the tier right now, I actually think just behind Waterpon and Kyurem. However, it's still broken. Volc has always been questionable and has always been seen as the Match-Up Moth, but I think its base kit...

thanks for the response. I want to point out that I also think kyurem is bannable, and I think kingambit is potentially unhealthy, so it's not as if I disagree with those examples or see either or those as 'fair'. I don't even think Volc is the most broken thing in the tier right now (cough...

'Everything having many tera options' is not a good counterargument because of how well Volc abuses tera and in particular, tera blast. Tera blast is unviable on most mons because its such a high opportunity cost, so it should be telling that people are highlighting volc having many tera...

Exactly, my point is that I don't think Val is unhealthy and I don't think whether or not it is after a volc ban matters to the discussion.

Going to write my own post later, but I heavily disagree with these arguments. The argument that Volcarona is only broken because of tera blast and so tera blast is the problem is irrelevant because tera blast isn't being discussed right now. As well, nothing in the tier is able to exploit...

idk if he'd be better then rilla (bc of knock turn shenanigans) but he'd actually be competing with it in that case

bro are you serious

tbh if you're going to make these arguments about how versatile Moon is you should share these sets; otherwise its the kinda thing where we need to take your word for it

Wanted to mention that Corv and Skarm dropped (rightly so) and apparently Skeledirge rose because I thought it was B+ last slate, but netiher of these were officially mentioned. As well, I want to ask why Blissey is so low if, like with Dozo, it's mostly on fat structures, but is apparently...

Does dozo fit anywhere other then stall? Just wondering because I haven't really seen it outside of it
