    That, and maybe speed things up a little. Lot of nice QOL changes from PLA that got left on the table. That sucks to hear tho. Guess I’ll give it a few months, see how far they get. Or just play some old gen if I get the itch, idk.

    Welp, I accidentally bought scarlet and enjoyed it. Is comp worth getting into right now? Tera seems like a really annoying mechanic to deal with on ladder.

    Recently, I’ve thought about playing a little casually, mostly likely either DPP OU (where I started playing competitively) or BW OU (where I was most active as a player) for nostalgia. Can anyone give me a quick idea of what shape these metagames are in and how active they are? I know they’ve...

    Hey, I don't mean to be "that guy," but the original Checks Compendium and the GSI/SSI/NSI definitions were actually my invention. OrdA helped a ton early on with software that made it easier to manage, but he didn't actually take over the project until much later.

    Do you know if all those old threads were moved there as well, or were they deleted? It'd be a real shame if they were, some of them were pretty fun reads.
  11. All Gens Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer Mark II (RoA edition)

    Anyone know what happened to the old RBY 2K10 forum? There were some pretty interesting discussions there that I used to like reading, but the forum appears to be completely gone now.

    I like the idea of putting Scarf first. I do think that Poison Jab should get a Set Details mention, though. It's nice to have something a little stronger and more reliable than Stone Edge to smack Tapu Lele with, especially Scarf sets that can be a pain for offensive teams. It also OHKOs Tapu...

    Xurkitree fills that same "OU Electric with something really cool going for it on paper but too many flaws to be great in practice" niche quite nicely. In theory, base 173 SpA with Tail Glow sounds awesome just like hitting 13 types super effectively sounded awesome, but it's too slow and frail...

    Really minor change, but I'd like to recommend moving 8 Atk EVs to HP on the SubPunch set. This will allow Buzzwole to make 5 Subs in a row from full health instead of 4, which can be useful if you're trying to stall out a dangerous move or fish for a miss or something. It's situational, but it...

    I like the idea, sort of a bulkier take on the standard SubPunch set. However, your EVs could use some optimizing. For example, you mention that your HP and SpD EVs give Quagsire only a 25% chance to break your Sub, but I don't think that's true. Here's the full damage range for Quagsire's...

    If I remember right, Gale Wings works on Supersonic Skystrike, so there is the potential of a SD + Flyinium-Z set. Z-Brave Bird has 190 BP, which is significantly more powerful than Sharp Beak Brave Bird that we were used to last generation. If you play your cards right, you can use the Z-move...

    Defensive Moltres might actually be worth looking into. I used to like using it back in early XY for its ability to take on things like Aegislash, Mega Mawile, and Charizard Y, but the problem was always finding a good defensive hazard remover that synergized well with it. Tapu Fini has provided...

    Regenerator numbers don't mean anything. You're still getting the same amount of Regenerator recovery that you would have got before, only now you have one less HP point for...reasons. Same goes for dropping HP for Leftovers numbers (a concept that I wish would go die in a hole). The only reason...
  19. Terrakion [QC 0/3]

    I have a few scattered thoughts about this analysis. Feel free to agree or explain why I'm an idiot. On the first set, I think Substitute should be slashed first in that last slot. The utility it provides is just as great as it was back in the BW days when Rock Gem Terrakion ran a similar set...

    Or you could just stop putting Assault Vest on everything.
