Question: so it’s very clear that CP and maybe something else might be going as early as within a week. But those things are kinda broken with or without support, aren’t they?
however… from the new Pokémon’s including ursaluna and sneasler. It would be nice if they had a little more time to be played with in OU.
they really toe the line of OP or not OP, but the meta might simply need to adapt, like walking wake.
walking wake needed sun to truly shine. Most people agreed ursaluna needed trick room to really boom, and sneasler needs something to get rid of it’s item reliably.
magearna is just literally the most ridiculous combination of bulk, typing, ability, stats, movepool. You really don’t get that with these newer things that don’t have a similar precedent. They’re much easier to play around. We very clearly know that mag, CP are beyond broken.
anyone who’s been playing Luna and sneasler know their limitations, so it would be nice to see them played with more before any major decision.
Also, is fishing for dire claw cheese worth it when you can simply run coverage or gunk shot for those same situations? it really feels like the anti-sneasler sentiment isn’t considering the fact that the dire claw hax sounds much worse in theory than it’s playing out in reality.
just remember lads, every Pokémon poisoned by poison touch is one more Pokémon immune to sleep. For the unburden set, just remember that sleeping a Pokémon when you’re at +2, is effectively equivalent to flinching them, since most checks are going to be 2 or 3hkoed by a +2 sneasler anyway. This is a big part of why the reality isn’t as bad as it sounds when you first think of it.
Also, Ursaluna hasn’t even been experimented with outside of its flame orb set too much. It might need to adapt when gambit usage starts to rise again, since they speed tie.
