Can someone explain why Scovillain is banned? lol

| 39 | Weavile | 4.423% | | 40 | Mandibuzz | 4.383% | | 41 | Maushold | 4.236% | | 42 | Clodsire | 4.130% | It's cool seeing these four come so close to rising into OU. If the Indigo Disk DLC weren't coming out this month and reintroducing...

Here’s the current OU roster by generation, ordered by usage: Gen 1: 3 (Dragonite, Clefable, Zapdos) Gen 2: 1 (Blissey) Gen 3: 1 (Torkoal) Gen 4: 3 (Gliscor, Manaphy, Empoleon) Gen 5: 1 (Landorus-Therian) Gen 6: 1 (Greninja) Gen 7: 3 (Ninetales-Alola, Ribombee, Toxapex) Gen 8: 10...

Posting to show I was here for a historic moment. Chomp and Tran in UU is INSANE, not to mention stuff like Garg, Washtom, Meow, Pelipper, Azu, and Shocks. Lando even almost joined, and every DLC mon sans Bloodmoon is now UU as well. This is the most crazy assortment of UU drops I’ve ever seen...

In my experience, U-Turn is actually better than Parting Shot for the extra poison chance. A Parting Shot usually just forces a switch and keeps momentum, but a badly poison off U-Turn can potentially cripple a switch-in for the entire rest of the game. It’s a scald chance, so you can usually...

The thing with this mon is that it directly competes with Brambleghast. They have a similar power level and will likely end up in the same tier. Brambleghast hits harder thanks to stronger STABs, can Rapid Spin, is faster, is immune to Flying special attacks and a few other strong special moves...

Does Embody Aspect retain its boost after switching?

Cyclizar is clearly the problem, and while it would be easier to just ban it, a complex ban would be better in this specific situation because it would allow Cyclizar to be used in a lower tier. As for why I think this is a good idea, it’s actually because the situation is occurring under a...

As unideal as complex bans are, I do think the best course of action to deal with Cyclizar would be to give one specifically for the combination of Regenerator and Shed Tail. It’s a very unique case of the move being fine by itself (as seen by Orthworm) and the ability being fine by itself (as...

Espathra and Staraptor speedrunning UUBL

First sun, then rain, and now... this. I wonder when UU will ever be playable again

Poor UU, can't catch a break.

Congrats Chaitanya!

Idk about the Swoobat quickban... the mon seemed pretty manageable to me. Swoobat is really frail and has the potential to be revenge killed decently easily, as long as you have a mon that outspeeds Swoobat (which isn’t too difficult, even if Swoobat is really fast. I find that playing around...

Oh shit, Darm is gonna be UU now. Wonder if it will be quickbanned faster than Hawlucha lol. Also, why didn’t regular Ninetales drop? It was below 4.52% UU usage

Why hasn't anyone noticed that Necrozma gets access to Iron Defense and Calm Mind to boost stats and Stored Power to get to base 380 power (at max defense, special defense and special attack, without stab), plus reliable recovery? Slap lefties on this thing with these moves and you are set, with...

i like mules over donkeys. Or do i?
