I honestly run bulk on Scizor so it can take SR+Spikes twice and still live an Ogerpon Wellspring's Ivy Crudgel Also, lets you tank much better the hits from Kyurem, which is rn a pain in the ass to deal with. Ice Beam without bulk it's a 80%~to 2HKO, with bulk you always tank two. 252 Atk...

New personal record in the ladder at 1925. While A-Muk really struggles with Gliscor, it's really, really good aganist a lot the mons trending right now. Leaving here the team I've been using if you want to test it out. https://pokepast.es/62bd0e10bd1338e8

Alolan Muk is really good aganist Darkrai and wins aganist every single variant of it. A-Muk is also pretty decent aganist most of the special attacks in OU, while also giving the team a Knock Off User and Toxic Spikes absorber

The thing about banning a "part" of a Pokémon (I think the exceptions are Last Respects and Shed Tail, which tbh, without those moves the Pokémon that have these moves are inexistant in OU, so it's a "gift" to lower tiers) is that it opens a can of worms we don't want to enter. Like, it would...

So happy about Moltres' rise. I've been using it since DLC2 dropped out and I think it's a cool and good mon:) it stops non-tera zama, and it's a really good check to most lando, cinderace, meowscarada, weavile, skarm, corv and great tusk set. Also, flame body is busted in general

I think that the biggest problem that gen9 has is building a team, by far. Yeah, if you prepare for ghold and Gliscor you can make them either irrelevant or a non-factor in some cases. And you can also prepare your team to eat Kingambit and Dark spam in general for breakfast. Thing is, getting...

I must say that my opinion must be taken with a grain of salt, because, while I play almost every day on a decent ladder (around 1750s up to 1900s) I'm quite bad at tournaments...And of course, there a lot of better players than me in this thread ^^" So maybe I'm wrong on this one hehe

First of all, thank you for your kind words:) Second, I honestly overlook a bit the RMoon part, sorry :'). I think that there are some positive things about RMoon in the tier. For example, I think it is a really good wallbreaker that can easily make progress with Knock Off, both as a sun and HO...

The power level in gen9 is insane. I don't think we can compare old bans to the present, because it's true that most of the mons that exist in OU (as top tiers I mean) would probably get banned in a couple of days in any other gen. We have to be really cautious while choosing what the suspect...

It's true that teambuilding is really hard, even if Volcarona's ban has helped the tier a lot. There's room for improvement, and while I don't know if Wogre o Gliscor are the choices if I would pick for a suspect test (I HATE Gliscor, but I would have to sit and think for a while if it's truly...

After playing a lot since Volc ban, I think the meta has improved a lot and while Kyurem, Zamazenta, Roaring Moon and Waterpon have a really big wincon every single game even you see them coming up, they're quite more manageable than they were before the moth was out. I say this from personal...

Gholdengo, Gambit, Zamazenta and Garg are in my opinion four big problems that have near to zero positive traits in the metagame. The first of them makes web / HO teams even more silly and the ability to negate Defog and Spin alongside all the threats in the tier is just too much. It was too...

Ogerpon-W hits like a truck while having a decent speed tier. It's not bulky but it's not weak to any priority move in the tier so it can usually live a fast hit. Water + Grass is a bit hard to switch into, mostly due of Ivy Crudgel strong base power + crit chance and Power Whip raw power / Horn...

Volcarona: Ban

I wanted to add here that it can also ruin Scizor's Bullet Punch (which I've been using in my team in the 1800s and also in the team I got the reqs with) with Flame Body + Resist. I think that Flame Body in Volc as a whole just makes it even more toxic and suffocating in the tier. In fact, I...
