Since it's latias but higher attack and special attack and with worse bulk, and the best ways to use them are double dance sets with calm mind, agility, stored power, and aura sphere, latias is just better since the extra bulk makes setting up easier but latios's extra offenses doesn't really make a difference if you are using an agility+calm mind set (which is the best set for both mons.) In conclusion, just use latias.

Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Volcarona Banned]
- Thread starter TPP
- Start date
Latios and Latias have the same speed stat. Latios has higher sp.A, and attack, while latias has higher sp.Defense and defense. Latias is superior in any double dance set, but if you want immediate power, latios is better, but considering those immediate power sets are worse than other mons with similar traits, latios unfortunately doesn't really have a use in OU. If you want to use an eon twin, use latias.
Okay, editing my post. I knew it was some offensive stat.
The usual "gentleman's agreement" is a set of rules that both players agree to BEFORE starting the battle, our typical "Smogon Ruleset." This is cool and epic. What Meepbard is suggesting is a rule that both players agree to DURING battle, beyond the mechanics of the game. This is lame and cringe. Why are players agreeing to make suboptimal plays in certain gamestates? Seems like we're going against the spirit of competitive play.
For the sake of simplifying the argument, I condensed it down to 3 prominent abusers, but yeah...I'm old man...I actually suffered through baton pass chains on ladder back when it was legal. I know there were more than 3 busted baton pass users. However, Espeon's combination of Magic Bounce+Baton Pass was integral to every chain, and there's no way to know if banning Espeon would've been enough to nerf the playstyle. You're proving my point here, we just have the benefit of hindsight. Let's compare:
1) Maybe banning prominent abusers of Baton Pass would've solved the problem, maybe not. We don't want to find out, the correct action is banning Baton Pass -->8 years later everybody is happy :D
2) Maybe banning prominent abusers of Sleep would've solved the problem, maybe not. We don't want to find out, the correct action is banning Sleep moves (you are here) --> 8 years later everybody is happy :D
You joke about Unova Lilligant but I know Mimikyu Stardust was actually winning with it high ladder during the Home meta I think? Qd+Sleep Powder+Giga Drain+Tera Blast was enough to cheese some teams purely through the power of rng fishing with Sleep Powder. Chlorophyll Venusaur certainly has similar power and speed to Lilligant-Hisui under sun and can also Sleep Powder. None of these threats are close to popping up because the current ones are still here, and I don't want to find out if the above will replace them.
I'll go ahead and throw out that I was against banning BP in gen 5 too, Espeon was the problem and should've been banned just like Darkrai is the problem with sleep and should be banned.
So when we started this debate, I sided with ban sleep purely because of the fact of wanting consistency with rulings, something which I made clear with the arguments I made. But as this debate has gone on, I am now in agreement that sleep is uncompetitive even without considering tiering policy, I will however even on this side of the argument maintain that "Well its always been OK" should not be seen as a valid argument. Letting a problem fester for years doesn't mean we should ignore it when people finally decide to do something about it.
As for why sleep is the focus over other status, its due to it being both RNG reliant, while still having dedicated inflicting moves, while also not actually doing anything else. Freeze would be a problem if something had a higher than a 10% chance to inflict it. Paralysis comes with a speed decrease so there's actually something besides preventing your opponent from doing anything entirely in there, and even then I wouldn't be opposed if Para got a look.

What are they agreeing to in the middle of the battle? MeepBard's agreement can happen easily at the top of the battle. At the start we agree to this: If I sleep a pokemon, I will not click my sleep move again unless the original mon is no longer asleep or I am 100% forced to . Simple enough. Players are agreeing to suboptimal plays because that is the agreement for proper competitive play. Its suboptimal to not bring Flutter Mane.. but that is the rules we agree to. (I know the Uber comparison is a little bluhh but it helps me make my point)
History does repeat itself but not in every case. Just because that happened once does not mean it will happen twice. I think Baton Pass is kind of a different beast altogether mainly because i think stat passing was always broken and would never not be broken. But in this case we obviously cant know and you cant even know its not B) Maybe banning prominent abusers of Sleep would've solved the problem. We did want to find out :D, so we banned them --> 8 years later everyone is happy :D. I'm sure you know the situation of BP was more complex than I know and there were more ppl fighting for it and some users were arguably not broken,, but at the end of the day it seems like there was good evidence made and whole discussions showing it was not simply a few pokemon. I think that's already more of a reason that we have for sleep.. But feel free to read my next paragraph.
If Unova Lilligant is really a problem, I would like to hear about it more. I don't see it being a problem considering you are locked into only 2 coverage moves. What Tera Blast it is is the real question for me. Tera Fire? Most Dragons + Fires wall you hard as well as Slowking Galar/Clodsire. Tera Ice? You are hard walled by Kingambit + most steels, still most Fires, and still cant break Slowking Galar. Tera Ground? That's where the flyings start to come in and mess you up. Plus Blisseys always around. Yeah you can sleep the answer, but like Mr. Zamazenta its really not hard to find yourself having multiple Grass answers, although ig this still depends on Tera Type. And even then there's priority. That's impressive, but home meta was a while away at this point, so a lot has changed. But if it really is an issue I'd like to see it, genuinely. If even Unova Lilligant is a problem, that might change my perspective on sleep in this meta to see it like how y'all see it no joke. I just haven't seen that be an issue yet.
I have faced 5 screen deo-S teams that have been the exact same structure. I won most of them (the first one I lost), but still fuck screen teams.
Out of curiosity, which Tera is best for serperior? Thank you.
Dragon so that you use Dragon Pulse and don't depend on Teraing Serp to be useful.
I'd also say tera fire or ground if you are alright on teraing serperior, because dragon is also resisted by steel, or stellar if you want to do more cleanup sweeps, though I think that set has fallen off.

Survey results Jan2 - 2024
No action taken with the highest suspected mon being roaring moon with 3.24
Below is from Finch from the first survey:
I don't think i've used this forum based survey you're mentioning but I'll reserve by judgement on it until I try it out. There are ways I could think of to manipulate survey responses but I will refrain from saying those publicly for obvious reasons. If you want to discuss those privately, feel free to dm me.
I am open to being swayed that sleep, in its current state, has reached a critical threshold for uncompetitiveness - I would disagree with you because I think the issue is with the top 3 abusers (in particular Darkrai) and not the moves themselves but I am open to being persuaded.
To pivot onto something we both agree on (I think), we both in our personal opinion find tera to be uncompetitive and I think we can also agree this exacerbates the problem with sleep. Why are we focusing our attention on sleep and not tera when we have already banned multiple mons for their tera capabilities? Many users inside and outside of this thread have highlighted how the intense scrutiny on sleep has seemingly come out from thin air (or from Darkrai being released). If we as a community are collectively unsure of sleep and tera as healthy mechanics, why are we pursuing sleep first when there is more precedent for tera being more unhealthy than sleep by looking at the list of banned mons? Weren't we also promised a re-evaluation of the tera mechanic? Wouldn't it make more sense to tackle the matter that has historically caused more problematic issues first?
This is what I meant when I mentioned that some decisions by the council could be seen as autocratic though I appreciate it's a difficult position to be in.

I'm back to work so not as active as I was on winter break but I've been keeping up with the thread best I can and I just want to say how TRASH and POINTLESS so many posts are. All of the same people that have the nerve to get UPSET at the 'thread being derailed' by the thought of unbanning Urshifu-R are here every other post with one liners trying to make this thread their comedy club.
The sleep discussion is 90% trash as all points to be made have been made and there's a stupid amount of people that don't understand and it keeps circling back and forth. Start suspect.
So yeah I haven't been playing much and I'm still using the same team from a week ago or whatever. The new mon kind of sucks I need to replace it. Even with grassy terrain support, gliscor and archaludon its coverage is just too poor and it's too weak. I tried Nasty Plot but switched to Parting Shot because its coverage is just too bad most games to make use of it. Parting Shot at least lets it get out.
Still running Max SpDef Unaware Calm Clefable as a go to for longraiku, serperior and most special attackers and it is how I win most games- saving it for when gambit or other strong physicals are gone. Hex Ghouldengo along with Toxic from Gliscor and M-Chain from the new mon can lead to victory too and that was kinda what I was going for- poisoning everything, setting up hazards to clear the way for a hex victory. But the new pokemon just sucks too much for me so going to give up that strategy and will try paralysis team

Rant incoming:
Because every time a mon is on the chopping block, people will deny tera having any involvement, even though half the time checks and counters depend on the tera. And they're of the mind it's something that can be balanced, even though we've seen cases of mons being problematic from gaining the new typing, more powerful coverage from it and tera blast or avoiding kos.
It's in the same vein of sleep where the objective correct play for one player is no longer correct and you can be punished extremely heavily. And if you raise complaints against tera, the arguments boil down to "you should've played better and predicted it would happen, even if there's no tell and no guarantee they'll use it". I play properly to a rillaboom sweep vs rain but I lose to pellipper because it's tera steel and I no longer have answers to it. I run up against Garganacl but I can't kill it after it tosses rock and gains ghost, one of the options it has. Mons will have multiple viable types, but it's always placed as your fault for not calling it.
For example:
252 Atk Iron Boulder Mighty Cleave vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Roaring Moon: 195-229 (55.5 - 65.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Iron Boulder Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Roaring Moon: 328-386 (93.4 - 109.9%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO
252 Atk Iron Boulder Mighty Cleave vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Flying Roaring Moon: 390-458 (111.1 - 130.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Iron Boulder Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Flying Roaring Moon: 82-96 (23.3 - 27.3%) -- 65.4% chance to 4HKO
As shown, this situatuion,can play out massively differently depending on a lot of factors. Like I get the idea of skill expression but how does that work when I've played to my wincon properly but I've lost because they held tera till the end and it just happens to be the one that beats what I saved. I could go on more but I'm going out with friends and I want to put my focus on that.
Tldr: People are adamant about avoiding acknowledging that it's an issue, to the point of outright denial, even though there's been issues from multiple aspects of it and multiple users who just happen to find a way of benefiting off it.

I don't agree with you on Sleep, but I agree that surveys feel fairly inconsistent.
I remember reading the council's report on a survey and it was like "3.2- that's a fairly average" - NO!
3.2 is quite a bit above a 2.5, the actual average, and even then the preferable number is 1.0!
A Pokemon even being above a 2/5 shows that there is a healthy appetite for a ban of that Pokemon. If a Pokemon is not deemed to be broken by many people, the 1/5 will consistently bring it pretty low. Getting anything above a 3 shows that there is a shit ton of want in the community for it to have action against it.
The fact that a 3/5 (a number showing a really high amount of support among the players) is "well below the threshold for a normal suspect" is wild to me. Any Pokemon above a 3/5 is enough for a suspect, and we've quickbanned Pokemon around those numbers. It isn't enough for a quickban, I agree, but it is the job of suspect tests to tussle with the more mixed responsed Pokemon.
There being so many 3/5 Pokemon is not that they are balanced and don't deserve a suspect test, it's that the meta has a lot of suspect test worthy Pokemon.
The thing is, the way They interpret the survey and the way they use averages instead of number of individual responses, you kind of have to vote 5 if you want anything done about something. If responses on a Pokémon (say Archaludon) are generally between 1 and 3, even if say 60% of players say 3, which theoretically means "this Pokémon might be a problem and should at least be looked into," the takeaway will be "Archaludon got an average of 2.whatever and while we will do nothing right now, it will be monitored going forward." So even if voters feel a Pokémon may merit a 3 or even 4, the only chance at any action is to inflate your vote and vote 5. This is how let's just give an example Gholdengo has stayed completely untouched throughout the entire gen, through the flawed way this data is interpreted.
You can't vote 0 on the survey, so the actual average is the midway point between 1 and 5 -- 3.0.
There is already a survey set to go up to ask people's opinion on sleep, after which the council will make a decision. Really we're just discussing stuff to kill time because, as has been said before, its clear no public consensus is being reached
Fire. Fire and Grass cover each other extremely well, only needing to worry about Dragons, Fires, and especially Heatran. Dragon and most Fires being at least neutral to Dragon Pulse or being chipped by Leech Seed helps too.
I think what OP means is that if something is on the survey and it isn't broken, it gets voted a 1. In a perfect world, the mons that are average in performance should be between a 1 and a 2 (between because you know someone is gonna vote higher than a 1 realistically). The 2.5 was probably just what each mon on the survey on average got or something.
This is what I meant.
The SV OU tiering survey is up: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sv-ou-tiering-surveys.3711911/page-2#post-9942563
Please fill it out this weekend. Thanks!
Please fill it out this weekend. Thanks!
How I plan to respond to the tiering survey:
Sleep will be a 5/5 from me -- I hope we can remove it ASAP. I believe it is uncompetitive in the current metagame. In addition, sleep clause is not actually enforcable in-game, making it easy to remove in exchange for sleep move clause. I provided my detailed thoughts on this matter here, which also answers some frequent questions on the topic.
I do not believe we need to act on Tera immediately and I think we would actually being doing a disservice to the discussion to have an immeduate suspect, but I also do not see myself supporting an outright ban. I could see myself answering Yes to the first question eventually to discuss Tera Blast, but both get a no for me for now. I do think it is important these topics belong on the survey and should continue to be included to give people a chance to voice their opinions though.
gets a 5/5 from me. I view it to be very restrictive to teambuilding, forcing the same type of GKing/Blissey/Volcarona structures on bulky teams and forcing a certain degree of proactivity on offense. It is the single most broken Pokemon to me right now and I do not think it adds much to the tier on the flip side. I strongly support action on it right now.
and 
get a 3/5 from me, but you can convince me to go to 4/5 before 2/5. Gouging Fire is super bulky and DD + Morning Sun sets with the right Tera frequently pick-off 2-3 kills. Toxic vulnerability can be tough into balance, but it is still super efficient, has ways to circumvent most counterplay, and is able to get multiple free turns frequently. Roaring Moon is sort of the more aggressive, but fragile, of the two. Priority like Ice Shard and post-Tera Sucker Punch can do numbers here at least, but it is very challenging for balance if it is running Taunt and I find that it definitely limits what structures can work.
Gholdengo and Kingambit I can see getting a 2 or even a 3, but neither are close to priorities for me. Kingambit's Tera spectrum expanding amuses me, but it is not more broken than it previously was I feel. Gholdengo is actually at a bit of a low point, but still noteworthy. Finally, Deoxys-Speed is not a problem to me at all. I actually think Raging Bolt is way closer to broken than most of these Pokemon and hope to include it in the future.

Thanks for sharing your insight! I actually agree on a lot of things, but I'd like to know: where do you plan on voting Archaludon? It's on the survey but absent from your responses.How I plan to respond to the tiering survey:

Sorry, I gave it a 2 (closer to 3 than 1) due to how reliant it is on outside support to be close to broken -- only fitting onto Rain teams with its best set, which can face interference from other weather, specifically tailored counterplay, and so on. Is it broken? Maybe, but I do not think it is priority #1 quite yet.
