tl;dr - Suicide Specs Cursola + Dugtrio with Sub or Protect can trap and eliminate most contact-attackers, including problems like Dracovish that Dugtrio cannot normally kill. Both team slots have their own uses outside of this combo: Cursola with its wallbreaking power and Dugtrio with its...

I've been watching a bit of VGC, which is where the mechanic was obviously balanced around. People are arguing that a Dynamax ban would dismantle the intended developer design of singles when Gamefreak clearly did not balance it around singles. In fact, they don't seem to balance anything around...

My post was deleted so I'll reduce it to a one-liner: be transparent about which alternate ladders where Dynamax will be usable on PS! post-ban and more people will support it. Nat Dex? Ubers? Randoms? AG only? This is more controversial than it needs to be, just assure people that they can use...

Apologies if this has been mentioned. Seems like the ability in general has some wonky coding, based on past posts. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8randombattle-1020846370 Dauntless Shield has a strange interaction with Neutralizing Gas. On Turn 3, both player switch and Zamazenta comes...

The story so far... ACT I 2012: CTC adopts his son, blunder 2012-2013: CTC teaches his son all he knows ACT II 2013-2014: CTC becomes the most powerful player on Smogon 2013-2014: CTC becomes the most prominent shit-talker on Smogon 2014: CTC loses in the finals of World Cup IX, costing aim a...

I fixed your thread banner. Thank me later TI.

Look, I'm going to stay what we're all thinking... Semis aren't going even be close--I think HH is going to wipe the floor with HH. To start with, we all know that HH has been horrendously mismanaged the entire tour, doing them no favors when going up against HH's superior draft. If you still...

(Sorry, my posted published before I finished it--not used to the new posting system on this forum :P) It's true that a lot of things hit Normal/Fighting super effectively, but I think you're underestimating Bewear's bulk. Here are things I've stayed in on: 252 Atk Landorus-Therian Dragon...

I haven't logged in since the site redesign, but I will not stand this INJUSTICE. I will not be SILENT. Defensive Bewear, with Recover/Circle Throw/Toxic/filler, is the ONLY switch-in to Tyranitar in the game and is BETTER than some lame-ass offensive Extreme Speed sweeper. If it is unranked...

Not disputing the stance on disallowing unreleased moves, but this is absolutely the wrong reasoning. If you could only use Pokemon and moves from OU, Precipice Blades, Origin Pulse, Dragon Ascent, etc. would be banned.

When do you want to play for MnM? Free weekdays after 5 PST. Moving apartments this weekend so that's a no-go.

When do you want to fight for MnM tournament? Free after 5pm PST weekdays.

If you actually want it to gain Speed, you need to play with the EVs a bit. Something like this: Blacephalon @ Choice Band Ability: Beast Boost EVs: 40 HP / 212 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - V-create - Spectral Thief - Shadow Sneak - Explosion This puts your Attack one point...

In if you don't give me Articuno and Dewgong in the finals

Sorry if this was mentioned (I don't think it was) but is Neuroforce a desirable alternative to Adaptablity/Sheer Force/Tough Claws in any scenario? The best I've got is a lure set using Hidden Power or something similar, where the extra 20% turns it into a 2HKO/OHKO while boosting super...

USUM seems to barely affect STABmons, surprisingly enough. Necrozma forms: Banned deucer Zeraora: Unreleased, basically just gets Bolt Strike Poipol: LOL Naganadel: Already gets all the moves it wants, Z-Purify might be...okay? Stakataka: I hope someone runs Band Head Smash but it's bad for...
