Heyo, in contact and should be playing hopefully in the next day or so

Cinderace is a cool pick for sure, I am similarly unimpressed with Darm on sun, even though it seems like a no brainer pick. Not quite giving me my Mega-Doom fix in a world where that poor dog don't exist. I also miss Cresselia dearly, although I know you weren't into that as much as me (and it...

Activity Request: Opponent missed first scheduled match and hasn't been online since 25th Jan

Yawn prevents Umbreon from being setup bait for too much and it just synergises very well with Wish. Hydra can only set up on it if it doesn't switch into a Yawn and it has to be a Sub set too (which is getting slightly less common). Plus, dugtrio can trap a lot of things that can freely switch...

I'm not this guy (I don't use HO) but I've been using AV Nuzzle Hatterene and it's actually a pretty funny set. Good accuracy, surprise value. I thought of the set because I felt TR Hat is not as good as it used to be. Hatterene is usually outclassed as a bulky fairy by Clef/Sylveon who lack...

My opponent missed our scheduled match and hasn't been on for over a week since then

Completely agree with this. Dracovish puts a lot of pressure on basically any team, even if they do have Seismitoad. It's so easy to repeatedly double on Seismitoad because it's usually literally the only pokemon on a team that can switch into Fisheous Rend, so the risk value of predicting a...

That's a very fair point. I still feel like defensive measures to Darm are now more solid, but it's a big nerf to the ability to beat Darm in a pinch with defensive dynamax. I should clarify, I was more speaking to the Scarf set, which didn't "lose" power from the dynamaxing, and most of the...

It loses a lot tbh. Removing choice-look was huge and often game winning move. Yeah, you had to time it correctly but even the threat of dynamax was such an issue for its "checks". Its removal makes G-Darm far more one-dimensional. It'll still be really good but no longer having to deal with its...

Dynamax: Ban

This thing was a massive pain during my suspect run since I was almost solely relying on Dracovish as a breaker. Personally, I think it's better than Pex atm since Pex actually loses to a lot of things as you mentioned, making it much more vulnerable to being doubled on. You do need to avoid...

My big issue with TR this Gen is that dexit really hurts it. Gen 8 has a lot of new abusers (like almost every gen 8 pokemon is ridiculously slow) so that felt really promising. But when team building, you run into the realisation that every pokemon just kinda loses to Dark/Ghost types since...

The thing with Z-Moves was that even if you didn't actually "scout" them through Knock Off/Trick, you could make pretty good assumptions based upon their team composition and the item/sets of other Z-Move candidates on their team. Plus, if you were ballsy, you could even bait them into showing...
