    Knock Off isn't boosted if its target has a Forte. It only works on actual items.

    It did look like Mywookiearmy wanted STAB Shadow Ball for offensive pressure, and Zoroark-H already blocks Rapid Spin. Memento could shut down Mortal Spin and Defog, though.

    Absolutely superb write-up, I adore when people go all-in on their thoughts and really break down where they're putting stuff in the metagame, but I've got a super stupid nitpick I want to ask. For Great Tusk, you name it as the rightfully best hazard remover available in the game right now...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Gouging Fire remains in OU]

    Nidoking had his niche for his better speed and Gen 1 movepool, but in a world with Great Tusk I can't see him coming back as a common offensive mon. 85 was crept mad hard this gen. Nidoqueen didn't hit any major speed points with Timid so she typically ran Modest which actually outpowered +Spe...

    What a disingenuous take. Even if you smoked every exclusively gen 9 Pokemon and brought back all the old ones with their gen 8 movepools, you're still dealing with mons that weren't in gen 8 and every Pokemon in the game has a changed movepool on top of move changes like the healing nerfs...

    I'mma be real, I clicked on the page to say the same. Is that from A Certain Scientific Railgun?

    AAA Almost Any Ability

    I'mma nitpick what is otherwise an excellent post, but STABmon's move banlist has more moves conditionally banned (*: Legal on native users) than it does outright bans, and there's no restriction list, just extra information on the ban list that is then left to users to further explore...

    Ooh, I'd been using Sandy Cheeks as my Surge Surfer, Rising Voltage backed up by Dragon STAB is probably way scarier, if I wanted to be a freak (I might) I could even run weather to get Weather Ball and possibly Solar Beam.

    Item boosts tend to overwrite move boosts. Putting Assurance in the item slot then clicking Triple Axel results in a 100 BP 20-40-40 attack, with Assurance removing the second boost. EDIT: You'd have to check with the coders, I didn't know that Fury Cutter was restricted and I'm unaware of how...

    I thought Poison Puppeteer failed to activate on non-Pecharunt, is it a viable Ability to donate?

    If physically overpowering threats start popping up then tiering policy (for standard metas and OMs) says that we ban those as well, not keep centralizing presences in the tier. Props to teambuilders the first few days this month, I've been watching a lot of games looking for ideas and there...

    It's hard to take "Regen spam is weak, you have to diversify with Unaware/Fluffy/insert non-Regen otherwise you lose to all the breakers" seriously when most of the successful teams being posted have at least two Regen mons. TaxFraud's big team dump a few days ago had two Regens on every single...

    Arbitrary balancing changes like this would move into pet mod territory.
