Triple Axel is generally recommended because it's Meow's strongest option vs neutral targets, and hits tons of key mons such as Torn-T, Thundy-T, Hydrapple, etc. Being able to hit through substitutes, sash, and sturdy is always nice too.

What's up with Fezandipiti's success? I haven't run into it much, and just going based off vibes I would think Excadrill kinda invalidates its game plan.

I'm not Lily, but there never was. It was held back because Excadrill, the tier's best spinner and a decent Pecha answer, has been a consistent top two mon, on top of unfavorable meta conditions like Ursaluna being good and the dark spam that's been pretty persistent recently. It was definitely...

Merry Christmas ShaolinSoccerStan! You requested Suicune, and here's what I came up with: https://pokepast.es/5cbe43cd1ef1945f :Suicune: The featured mon. EV spread outruns base 80s and adamant Lokix while preventing BB Gren's Dark Pulse from breaking sub after a CM. Tera ground is for trolling...

Ban Teapot

Encore's effect ends when the move that's being repeated runs out of PP, so generally no. However, Encore locking a move that can't be used twice in a row or disabling a move after it has been Encore locked will cause the target to Struggle. For example, if you Encore a pokemon that's using a...

Weavile: Keep UU

Anyway, I just got reqs for the first time, so I figured I'd post my thoughts on Weavile. First off, I don't think Weavile's broken. It's pretty borderline, but I think it has just enough answers that it's just barely fine in the tier. Additionally, pretty much every mon in the tier can severely...

Sunk cost fallacy, what's that?

Talonflame is much faster than Moltres, and if it can be kept healthy, it can also have priority Hurricanes. If you're using it as a defensive contact punisher rather than a rain Hurricane spammer, Talonflame is a defogger that beats Ghold.

I've actually had a chance to play the tier since the drops now, and here are my early impressions: :Weavile: : Surprisingly balanced. Best team building practices already include stacking dark resists and our fat waters not named Slowking tend to do pretty well into it. On top of that, our...

Well, for Keldeo in particular can't be worn down that easy since Vacuum Wave one shots even without specs.

I'm honestly excited for stall. Blissey is much better than Chansey, it makes boots spam an option and can run stuff like Shadow Ball because it has more than 35 SpA. Skarmory's a great physical wall and knock absorber. And Closure is a special unaware wall that is good into some very...
