And again, I'll just say I don't at all agree. We don't actually have a lot of BE that boost speed, just Iron Valiant and Boulder (the latter being fishy and rather underwhelming) and the former being plenty balanced. Roaring Moon boosts speed through a move, and its strength is balanced by its...

I'd like to specially highlight the list of checks that omarsgarciav brought up (thanks for putting that together btw) because it highlights a major reason why Zamazenta is such a problem pokemon as of late. While I voted to ban Wellspring (and would always vote ban but that's not relevant)...

Confirming as ND9DWG Mo. Went pretty alright for once. Saw a fair amount of random Manaphy rain so that was fun (not). confirmed - :swablu:

Not particularly honestly. Outside stabs+Triple Axel, Meow actually is very lacking in hard hitting moves. The next best thing is Play Rough but that's best used to amplify its stabs as coverage. Dropping Knock Off just isn't desirable.

Personally I'll never quite understand the cries to suspect this mon. Yes it's strong, yes it's good at making progress and yes it can often force at least one trade in any given game, but at least from personal experience it's pretty rare to actually sweep teams itself. One of its biggest...

Ehh this is one I won't agree with, as forcing a tera can be very advantageous (and thus theoretically the Zone user still made out favorably). On a different note, anybody find Meowscarada to just be underwhelming right now? It feels like it either is too weak at times and prediction reliant...

I mean to be fair, that's without stab off an 80BP move. Like Bold School pointed out, it's also still relatively a victory to chip Kingambit that much since it becomes less able to switch in, let alone sweep later on without significant help. That said I think Zone just suffers from an issue...

Not really the damage you want from Tidy Up but the speed. Without the +1 speed boost, Maus is actually stuck in a very awkward speed tier which leaves it super prone to revenge kills on top of it not exactly getting easy switches to begin with, so you want to ensure it's doing as much as...

I know it can feel overwhelming and there is a lot to account for rn, threat saturation is a common complaint. But it's not at all impossible to play balance or bulkier teams, even stall, this gen and multiple people have creatively made solid to great teams of these playstyles. Balance is not...

This is the biggest issue it has honestly. It actually can be pretty threatening when supported consistently by terrain, and SD+stabs+wildcharge is pretty wide reaching in terms of coverage (the latter boosted by Terrain). It's a shame that it's not an option because it has some cool on paper...

It makes no sense to waste a moveslot on something this powerful when you can relegate rocks elsewhere and let it focus on offense. You gain nothing from running rocks on it and lose a moveslot to make it even more stupid to pivot around. Balance and BO would severely struggle with it, and BO...

I'm gonna start with I don't even know what prompted this. We don't exactly have a need for a fat, 150 spatk wallbreaker that can handpick what "checks" it defensively based on coverage. It wouldn't be an offensive rocker, just a wallbreaker that blows shit up. There'd be no reason to waste a...

With the suspect concluding in Wellspring remaining legal (sad face), guess I'll throw in some noms post laddering for reqs (and general observations from playing) :Rillaboom: B -> B- Wellspring remaining legal kinda keeps it from being worse imo but it's still just not a very good pokemon...

Ogerpon-Wellspring: Ban

Losing a check will make a strong mon more common. This isn't really surprising, but banning Volc was good for the longterm health of the tier. It's not like Volc was the only check to Valiant. Glowking, Skeledirge, Moltres, Iron Crown, Gliscor (depends on set but can help play around it)...
