    Announcement SV National Dex UU Stage 2.4: Empty Pockets - Weavile BANNED

    In this regard, I agree with both of you. Terastalization is a dominating presence that always determines the outcome of my UU battles. Weavile's is one I often exploited to hammer down soft or slow teams. I don't really use the electric or poison Tera, as I consider the opportunity cost of not...

    Announcement SV National Dex UU Stage 2.4: Empty Pockets - Weavile BANNED

    I am confused. I tell people I don't want to ban it and I get harsh comments. I tell people I changed my mind and want to ban it and I still get harsh comments. What am I supposed to do to satisfy the discussion? That's a subjective point of view to describe a pokemon as supposedly broken...

    Announcement SV National Dex UU Stage 2.4: Empty Pockets - Weavile BANNED

    Yeah you're right, you have completely convinced me. I'll vote ban because stall isn't strong enough in the tier right now.

    Announcement SV National Dex UU Stage 2.4: Empty Pockets - Weavile BANNED

    I intend to participate in the coming suspect test with the intention of adamantly voting No Ban on Weavile. For the health of the tier I would recommend any participants to vote No Ban as well. I am a Weavile user. I would have used it regardless of whether Terastalization was in or not. It's...

    Tera in National Dex: Where do we stand now?

    I do believe that Terastalization is an oppressive presence on the metagame, regardless if it is even used or not. But since most of the other comments here in favor of banning terastalization have already shared my exact thoughts, I won't elaborate on that. Instead, I want to entertain the...

    Apologies for the late reply, I wanted to give my response to this since there are honest concerns present i would like to acknowledge. I hope you were thinking of mons like Dragapult or Gholdengo which can check Zama. But not only can they check the primary pursuit trappers like Weavile or...

    Thank you for the reply, I've been getting mixed messages about Annihilape and I'm pleased to see an alternative perspective on the issue. Still, I had some objections to raise about the observations presented. It still has notable advantages. It punishes U-Turn and Rapid Spin, has a stealth...

    Metagame National Dex Metagame Discussion

    I initially wanted to discuss Cyclizar's ban as I find that to be one of the enablers of Espathra's presence in OU. But hopefully that one gets its suspect test sooner or later. Another major issue in OU I wanted more discussion about is Annihilape. Its ghost-fighting coverage is on lock for...

    I have begun trying out Eviolite Primeape in response to the belief that Rage Fist is only good on Annihilape. I would encourage others to do the same. It's not a pervasive threat like Annihilape, but it definitely can put dents into teams. I think it's carried by the shock value, that people...

    I think ill take the Clefable and Heatran on a test run. Thanks! However, I see one huge concern, and it's the new weakness to status that my team faces. I want to switch my Tyranitar to a pokemon that is capable of switching in to Xzard, has reliable recovery, and can healbell/aromatherapy. Any...
