Glowking is a great design lmao Speaking of webs, I guess I’ll be a “hater” and say that I never understand what makes the playstyle something ladder may gravitate towards in the low-mid ranges particularly. The playstyle still suffers from issues of consistency vs boots heavy structures or...

The A ranked OU steel falls down. I hate it when ladder does gibs (especially when it’s getting ignored while other actually mid mons are somehow still getting used enough to be OU like Dondozo).

There’s a new survey you say? Time for routine opinions Gave 7s for your classic enjoyment and stability/playabIlity/balance ratings. The ban of RM was very beneficial overall since it cut down on the dominance and power of HO and made building a bit easier. :Kingambit: :Gholdengo: 1 Both of...

I’ve been pretty absent lately due to being busy (and not feeling the best due to a poor sleep schedule) but I’ve tried to at least keep up with what I can, and I’ll jump in and say that I don’t think there really isn’t a concrete good reason it isn’t OU at this point. It’s proven to be a great...

So this isn’t 2010 and before, we left this type of language behind. How bout we don’t talk like this yeah? Not cool. Too bad rain and sand are bad. Also pretty sure Hippo just loses to Taunt+BU Ceru.

The Mon that was borderline broken in its debut gen6 and very broken in gen7, that just got much stronger this gen while getting very few, if any, new checks? No. I’m not sure what “actually interesting” is supposed to mean. Unbans aren’t done to be “dope” or “interesting”.

I think veil teams succeeding are just currently exploiting a trend in building of certain teams simply not being prepared for specific veil threats (Ceruledge being an obvious example). It’s a naturally “cheesy” playstyle that tends to do this. So I don’t expect the hype to last as people will...

It’s not just the extra 5bp, but also the debilitating 50% drop in defense that will apply a high amount of pressure when it happens. This is especially good because it can spam other moves after a razor shell def drop and forces awkward plays from an opponent. It can push some KO thresholds...

I'm honestly surprised this still gets perpetuated this late into the generation even after multiple cycles of the metagame where bulkier archetypes have been some of the strongest archetypes in the meta. Defense is viable just as before. Open Tera is necessary for Vgc for the faster pace of...

What great news to wake up to and start the day off with :D Seriously this is a good thing. I just woke up like fifteen minutes ago but fuck I'll share my predictions going forwards too :Latios-Mega: :Pecharunt: :Gholdengo: I very much agree with Comett about these three getting better...

To start, if these were otherwise overwhelming we'd be looking into them regardless. And only Wellspring even comes close to an issue. ZardY is not overwhelming and while strong and a great pick, has significant limitations holding it back (there was a short back and forth in the regular...

Tusk is a good spinner, but it's not at all this impossible to stop spinner that perfectly keeps off rocks and it can have trouble getting time to spin vs even moderately paced teams that relay aggression against it due to its poor defensive typing making direct switch ins hard, and its own poor...

Actually it's pretty good in a vacuum. Fire/Ghost resists all of Poison, Grass, Fire, Ice, Steel, Fairy and Bug while also being immune to Fighting and Normal. It's more so that many of the things it used to check have evolved in a way that make it less capable of walling them in its base form...

ZardY hasn't even been near the peak it was at initially earlier after tera was banned so I'm a bit confused. ZardY teams are structure that lack much defensive backbone and tend to be pretty rigid if they DO want some kind of defensive security (ie slotting in Slowbro for example). ZardY also...

The problem with Serperior is that it has no clean way to get past its answers so it has a difficult time making progress in those match ups which unfortunately are very common. Between limited Leaf Storm PP and a limited defensive profile, I just don’t see it being very useful in the meta. It...
