To be honest, I really do not agree with this at all. The only meta relevant mons at the 110 base speed benchmark are gengar and tauros, and they commonly dont square off as they have to respect each other’s options. When latias was in the tier it was a very crowded speed tier, it was a very bad...

Here are some of my thoughts on this new VR :Gengar: Tier 1- This pokemon is still amazing, and has irreplaceable utility. Been using the support set more frequently and forgoing explosion. high speed tier and ghost typing allow it to always move without being disrupted. Insane movepool that no...

I think that explosion should be looked at in more detail. It's true that there are many mindgames involving explosion, but with the unique quirk in gen 3 of pokemon switching in the same turn another one faints, explosion can be beyond devastating because you can put yourself in situations...

Mono Psychic typing holds it back a lot, makes it much easier to take on both offensively and defensively, its pretty outclassed by jirachi for the most part even if its a lot faster and seems stronger because jirachi's steel typing actually makes it way more threatening vs offensive teams...

Going to have to disagree with you on Hariyama. Yes it has a lot of switchins in OU and only a few reliable entry points (tyranitar, blissey, snorlax, and miscellaneous status moves) but all of its switchins suffer from being hit by knock off. Think pokemon like salamence, celebi, starmie, and...

So I’ve been getting back into ADV OU recently, and I’ve taken inspiration from SPL and began running roselia on the ladder as a decent utility grass type spiker. This is my set: Roselia @ Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 248 HP / 28 Def / 232 SpD Calm Nature - Spikes - Leech Seed - Giga...

I havent made reqs, but I firmly believe after some time that archaludon is NOT broken. Yes it can be a steamroller in the right matchup and can be quite difficult to remove, which makes it a great pokemon. But its only extremely threatening in rain. If we think back to the Walking Wake suspect...

Gengar: Not sure its broken, speed tier is nice and has good power, but that’s it. It’s a good pokemon, I dont forsee it immediately being an issue Hydreigon: Get this guy outta here. Fairy types switch in until specs or tera steel flash cannon show up. Stealth Rocks + 3 attack is also an...

To me, the biggest issue is Hydreigon. It can fit on any team and improve it. It’s super good on hazard stacking teams because it destroys every spin blocker. It is incredibly powerful and diverse in sets. It’s good on weather too, because it can give you a great mix of defense and offense...

I don’t see How is remotely problematic even still, in fact it has gotten more and more tame in my opinion as time has progressed. Yes its bulky and can potentially sweep you but it has to weaken a team considerably before going for the sweep. It can trade well into everything, but then the...

I know this was discussed earlier, but I believe that :terapagos: is actually viable in Ubers. Not good, mind you, but I firmly believe it is C rank. The best way to use this pokemon in my opinion is with a defensive set with toxic, rapid spin, roar, and then an attacking move of choice. This...

:Kyurem: to me feels overbearing. Has many excellent sets, Specs, Loaded dice DD, Sub HDB special variant, mixed, even bulky variants of this pokemon cause extreme headache. Having to guess between Specs and DD is already hard enough, One wrong turn can be game ending against it, not to mention...

Hi, I’m CD56, I play a good bit of ADV OU myself, hit top 500 on the ladder a few times and my elo generally floats around 1450-1500, So I’m no top player, but I do understand the metagame. I firmly believe Baton Pass is necessary as a scouting tool and momentum generator in many ways, but it’s...

When do the tier shifts happen? I am still kind of new to how the tiering system works in this generation, as I have mostly played newer gens before and I know it's much different

Hey, I’ve been playing ADV on the ladder for a while now, and I’m not sure if this is the right place to discuss this, but I believe that hariyama is deserving of OU status. I believe it is better than breloom, jolteon, gyarados, and cloyster, all of whom are ranked OU. it is the best knock off...

I personally very much disagree with your crowned stance. The steel typing makes it neutral to many of the special attacks used to take zama-h out, so offense severely struggles because it is still unbreakable physically, and it is immune to toxic/tspikes so that is also not possible either. it...

I have a couple things to say about this, because you do bring up good points. Personally while I believe banded zamazenta to be very very good, it is definitely MORE prediction reliant than many choice band pokemon. Something like Urshifu-R could very easily click its STAB moves in most...

Hi, I am making a new account on this forum for the suspect. I may have not gotten reqs but I have used this mon quite a bit and I wanted to voice my thoughts. Zamazenta is a very good pokemon, with a couple of very threatening sets that I will discuss, but with my testing and theorycrafting. I...
