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.
idk if its overpowered, theres clear counterplay and matchups where its just not very good, but on a lot of teams that would otherwqise need to dedicate a couple of teamslots to countering some archtypes bolt is just such a ridiculously consistent pick to role compress especially if u factor in...
Bolt is such a ridiculous mu patch it’s not even funny. just throw it on any team with fwg/tw weakness and it gives so much value. best example of this imo is the arti team. should be near auto lose to torn rain but just by virtue of having bolt that MU becomes significantly more playable. it’s...
bolt applies enough offensive pressure to make waterfu players actually think in team preview, bolt is like the freest mu patch you can add to your team
nullifies the boost of what? landoT uturning is almost always an objective good since it resets intim. maybe i just misread which is my bad.

i dont really see this. taunt mons are obviously bad for amoonguss, but it has so much inherent pressure on those mons that (especially if theyre not goggles or a grass type like taunt rilla) it can often feel like a check rather than counter because you might just get spored on switch. the...
amoonguss to A+. silly pokemon. useful on most forms of balance, imo clearly better supportive grass type than rilla right now, especially since it feels like every special attacker in the format that can kill rilla will calc to do so through AV without fail so its lost some switching value in...
this is the only smogon thread worth reading. i think that one day, hopefully, your friends save up enough pokecoins to buy whirlwind and end this tomfoolery, this delightfully devious gaming
