Also, lacking time isn't trying to excuse being "less skilled" theoretically: The Meta with Palafin in it is a very different game that takes time to learn and practice, and some players might need more time to pick up on that to the point of proficiency. This isn't a slight or a flex, I'm...

So a few points that I think warrant clarification or elaboration. The issue was that discussing Uber drops was not prompted and tended to go cyclically since everyone was proposing a handful of Ubers simultaneously. The Likeshop Suspect is more focused in by virtue of having to get a group to...

Want to throw in a mention for Sinistcha among the "one rank down" mons, since it's been on a downswing but would DEFINITELY benefit from Palafin and a lot of Palafin hard or soft checks (Mola, Dozo, Ogerpon, some Primarina, Zamazenta) gaining prominence, while things it hates (Gambit, Iron...

The big issue I think with Upper Hand is that it flat out does not work outside of its very particular niche case. If it was at least like Feint where it was weak but always worked "normally" on top of suppressing enemy priority, it'd probably have more use since you could use it as a Priority...

Ignoring the fact that Likes aren't monetized, it was upfront that the Likeshop Suspect had to be filtered through Council approval, so it's not like a ridiculous Suspect could be pushed through anyway. Opinions be opinions but this is just factually incorrect info to base the reply on. There...

I think it fair to say that "Palafin is checked by Ogerpon-W" is not incongruous with "Ogerpon-W in unhealthy whether or not Palafin is" in concept. One such reasoning could be that Palafin bears some very useful traits of Wellspring (strong Water STAB, Bulky, set-up potential against defensive...

My take on Megas: TPC's never been a stranger to tacking on weird explanations for evolutions/forms that simply couldn't happen in prior gens like Baby Pokemon from Incense after their "parent" Pokemon debuted, having to contrive items even when they're not region specific (why do only Paldean...

If you really want to ruin the days of the mons you're cooking already (Bolt and Ogerpon), Tera Grass with that HP prevents Ogerpon from breaking your Sub after a single BU, which turns you from checking it to potentially grabbing extra boosts (+1 can OHKO 0/4 Raging Bolt on a roll with 1 Spike...

>Doesn't want Hellspawn >Suggests Annihilape in a Tera meta I won't say Palafin is balanced this early but I trust the Angry Ape even less right now.

As far as Palafin experimentation, has anyone found success with an item besides the standard Band/Leftovers or rare HDB? I'd be curious if it could make something like Expert Belt work given it has okay coverage into the less-paper things on the viability rankings with Water/Fighting staples...

So I get people being perturbed or disagreeing with Palafin in current OU for various reasons, but I'm a little confused by the bewilderment or opposition to the Likeshop suggestion to make it a test. THe shop just stands in as another process for a topic to be picked, but by all accounts it's...

Okay to address the reply to my section in particular, there are some serious contentions I have here First of all, speed tier argument only applies significantly to Iron Valiant and Iron Moth (Boulder uses it but it's not much of a Meta influencer atm), who are good but not exactly short of...

I'm still failing to see how Booster Energy warrants discussion when the only mon currently here that is potentially-broken with it but not without it is Roaring Moon: Valiant it's one of several sets in its toolbox while not being very overwhelming individually, and Bolt is a clear combination...

So the other thing that made Wake drop off is that ultimately it's going to want to be on Sun, which is a very up-and-down playstyle in OU usage. That said I don't think it would have a role in the BE discussion anyway. Booster Energy stands in for Protosynthesis, but besides Wake being a...

Body Press scales on the DEF stat, so Cobalion makes no use of its ATK stat in this set (in which case it is optimal to minimize it for things like Foul Play and Confusion damage as tiny edge cases).

So some other news, the McDonalds promotion in the US includes Raid spawns from 6-7PM at the sponsored Gyms, which for Monday and presumably the rest of this Week, are Kyurem spawns. If you have any overseas friends and want in on those to hunt ahead of Unova Tour or something, keep an eye on...

Maybe it's the Uber-drop brainrot but my brain actually went to Dialga when reading the Trick Room explanations that followed. Is Trick Room still viable in this meta such that being able to set it with any niche advantage warrants a ranking? I feel like compared to Webs, TR is just a really...

Requesting Kaiju Bunny Picture of Slither Wing, something cute of my favorite Bug Pokemon. :talonflame: likes now art later

First, congrats on a Shundo, those are extremely rare (only have 2 myself playing since Launch). If you're investing for the sake of Master League alongside raiding, the primary thing to watch for is 15 ATK and 15 DEF to avoid missing Breakpoints/Bulkpoints (can elaborate but essentially a stat...
