Its fine. Cinderace offense 6-0s this.

To add further into the discussion, I have a couple tour replays that demonstrate the difficulties Roaring Moon has with actually setting up. While scavenging through recent tournament replays, there’s been surprisingly few teams loading up with Roaring Moon, instead they opt Dragonite who imo...

Moon is a hot topic currently and I want to throw my hat in the ringer. I’ve already made a post about it here months ago but most of what I said is still relevant to my current thoughts. Roaring Moon isn’t an issue imo. It’s relatively one-dimensional about what it sets out to do. There’s DD...

Ogerpon-Wellspring (F) @ Wellspring Mask Ability: Water Absorb Tera Type: Water EVs: 248 HP / 124 SpD / 136 Spe Jolly Nature - Swords Dance - Ivy Cudgel - Horn Leech - Encore/Synthesis/Play Rough/Knock Off The unholy Bulky Ogerpon. In a nutshell it makes you even harder to rkill. Since...

It’s Glowking if it loses to Kyurem and Raging Bolt, but it doesn’t get OHKOd by Headlong Rush. Otherwise, just run Glowking.

Been playing more RU for the first time and I’m having fun with it. One of my favorite mons to use is this. Armarouge @ Choice Specs Ability: Weak Armor Tera Type: Fire EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Armor Cannon - Psyshock - Energy Ball - Trick...

I’m new to the tier, but in short, Wo-Chien has good matchups into Iron Leaves, Thundurus-T, Psychics, Rain, and Rhyperior while providing utility with Knock.

Filling In The Icy Gap With Volcarona’s ban, concerns about Kyurem have risen. It is worth noting that Volcarona was never a consistent check. Specs Draco 2HKOs Bulkrona while Boots variants tech Scale Shot or Rock Slide to hit the moth. Today I want to bring attention to some pre-existing...

Ting/Molt + Thundy Spike Stacking Balance https://pokepast.es/ac04b974c183c93f I decided to do my own take on Vert’s Ting/Molt/Tinka team structure, going into a bulkier direction. Raging Bolt and Darkrai were changed for Alomomala and a surprise guest, Thundurus-I, who functions similarly to...

After some testings, I can say that this team is busted lol. Love the innovation. It has great matchups into offense and several outs into stuff like Kingambit. There isn’t any set that Gambit can run to beat this. The SpD Dondozo has saved games several times and its satisfying seeing Glowking...

That isn’t even true. As stated before, Stall sees success in high ladder and tournament play. Stall teams have multiple directions they can go to cover traditionally bad matchups. You can switch up the traditional Bliss/Dozo/Clod structures with options like Amoonguss, Alomomola, Wo-Chien...

658Greninja’s Archetype Ranking Last week I watched Pinkactoss’ team archetype ranking (great video btw, please check it out if you have the chance.) I’m mentioning this cause I want to present my own takes on SV OU’s team styles. I’ve been working on this write-up before the Volc ban, but imo...

Good post. I’ve already stated that Spikes aren’t broken and even made a guide to dealing with Spikes a while back. I do often give the impression that I don’t think Spikes have an impact in the tier even though I do recognize it with increased distribution of the move and decreased...

This debate has run its course and doesn’t look to be headed anywhere. I would advise moving on. Tera and everything in-between can be discussed another time, but right now there are other things to talk about. Since I finish my classes this week, I have two write-ups coming up. One on Kyurem...

I do see Finch’s point. Banning Tera to other meta altering changes from past gens (unbanning Latias, banning Arena Trap, banning Sleep) is not the direct comparison as some might think because Tera is much larger fundamentally to the tier. It is like banning Z-Moves in USUM or GSC Lax. It is...

Now that I got everyone’s attention. I’d like to make a quick nom. B- > B Imo a Molt rise is long overdue. The Volc ban frees up options like U-Turn allowing Molt to remain relevant in the Balance matchup. Molt’s ability to spread burns and check physical attackers like Gambit and Knock-less...

WOOOOOOOOOOO This was well-deserved. Imagine being so broken that Storm Zone thinks you should go. (I.e the guy who defended Archaludon and Chien-Pao in the past) I believe this is the step in the right direction regardless of what you think is the more broken mon. Winners Enam and Val are...
