Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I honestly liked the DLC2 meta pre Aegislash Ban and after. Aegislash was broken as hell don't get me wrong, but UU was beginning to be quite competitive and stabilize around this time. It also helped that tiering freeze is a thing around 9 months before the generation ended which made UU...
Can confirm. I have a Darmanitan team and Darmanitan always finds to punch holes vs teams even with 2 water types. I believe in Band supremacy since it p much 2HKOes everything with the right prediction. Yes band has to work with 95 speed, but from my experience, thats more than enough. Pairing...

Good day gentleman. Lately I have been feeling that I should build stall since everyone keeps on saying how its mediocre this gen and so I tried seeking a stall that can somewhat fight most mons in OU
Shedinja @ Heavy-Duty Boots...
Sure why not
Q1
Im liking BO to HO playstyles mostly brought upon by one mon, Blacephalon. Have at least 3 mons with slow pivot moves and Blacephalon can deal with everything quite easily. Paired up with smth like Zera or Pult and your team can easily clean everything.
Q2
Maybe Blaziken? I feel...
Regarding Shuckle and Pert, I disagree about the reasonings. First Shuckle. Ribombee doesnt have access to rocks nor something like encore and Final Gambit and is forced to run sash due to its frailty. While Ribombee does have neat things like Stun spore, from what your describing, you dont use...
Regarding Blace rising to B+, I agree with the nom. Especially this set
Blacephalon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Knock Off
- Trick
- Overheat
Knock off allows Blace to make Ttar/Heatran, 2 common switch ins for...
I mean... even though I'd want that, that requires an overhaul on a lot of moves. Plus what's with the arbitrary changes to moves? It sounds like a pain to do this for every single move that exist under the umbrella. I hate thunder wave as well with its para chance and my god I hate it. I think...
Guess we going to remove *checks notes* moves with less than 100% accuracy, items that can boost evasion, kings rock, quick claw, razor fang, lucky punch, crits, and moves with secondary effects so we can have a truly, truly true utopia
Ok then. To quote you, "Discussing problems would be fine if there was an accompanying solution, but there's none of that here, just complaints.", what would be your solution?
Not to me, but Synth SD Kart can be quite a threat and can act as a semi defensive tank and able to beat Ferrothorn without BP (it can already do it with Scarf/SD 3 attacks but it dies along with it making it just a 1v1 trade) Just make sure to pair up with something that can handle Melmetal and...
I think one problem with this is that unburden is only one time use. If it gets knocked off, you're basically playing with no ability the next time you switchin. If you play bulky Lucha though, maybe it can work? It has some fun moves like Taunt and Roost so maybe?
Wait glastrier is still ranked? What the hell? Also why stop at C? From what I've seen, it's only really useful on trick room teams and TR teams arent really doing really well. It's a niche mon in a niche playstyle that I feel like wants more mons than Glastrier. It's not a TR staple so I'd say...
Zama isnt supposed to switch into Terrakion in first place. But it's not in OU right now so let's leave that. Other than that I agree with you. Maybe not B+ for now. But B since I do believe it's on par with mons on B for effectiveness in their roles
Not to toot your horn BUT how does Terrakion murder Zama-C when it's faster and can OHKO back with CC or behemoth bash? Also Buzzwole is rising due to grass spam being prevalent again. Also it cant reliably come into Bisharp (unless of course pivoting from teammates) since it kinda murders it...
