Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Honestly didn't feel like Boulder was that overwhelming and I liked the addition of a very strong revenge killer, but oh well. I'm just sad that Rain has to stick around for at least another couple of weeks, that playstyle is EGREGIOUS.
in all of my years playing I have never felt so angry than playing randbats this gen. For every enjoyable match there is 10 games of your opponent being a complete idiot and benefitting because they have some Tera Bellossom that 6-0s your specific team
And so the cycle begins anew. New suspect with a fair bit of support but once that thread begins, it’ll happen. The lack of tournament wins, the “evolving counterplay” and the feeling that it can be dealt with slowly growing over the week, and then it happens again. Another suspect where the...
call me bad but this is fucking egregious. my Dipplin (DPulse/Giga/Sucker/Recover) just got PP stalled by a Gogoat which is a mon that it should probably be able to answer. Well it could if it could always run Dragon Tail but instead there's a chance to get useless ass Sucker Punch instead. Hope...
Hawlucha still not being OU by usage surprises me when it's seen rather consistent success in SPL and seems like it would be the perfect ladder mon. I guess fitting on only one playstyle could be a factor into why it's not used as much on ladder, but GTerrain offense is still pretty good imo and...
Started doing this in Gen 7 and it is actually such a huge improvement getting to play with a variety of mons you like even if some of them are only gonna last a little while before getting boxed. Gave me that Gen 1 Ash Ketchum feeling lol
Kommo-o's main selling point to me, at least before the Chomp ban, was its defensive utility that helped it check and set up on a lot of relevant threats like the aforementioned Hisuicanine and Cornerstone. DD allows it to perform that role much more consistently than the Clangorous Soul sets to...
THIS. Iron Boulder is basically a better Terrakion in all ways except its typing because it takes the frail powerhouse build and turns it up 100x by simply adding more Speed (at the cost of some Attack points). Iron Moth would be a better Volcarona, having similar Special Attack and higher...
