Holy Mother of God, this Pokemon is busted. Casually one-shotting some offence at neutral. Though, I think HP>Speed. I also wish to add my abomination: ::Primeape:: meets ::Dragonite:: Dragonite (Primeape) @ Lum Berry Ability: Multiscale Tera Type: Steel EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe Adamant...

Figured I might put a rough viability rating/Meta overview post? They're always good for ideas and are really good for helping with team building/anti-meta teams. Feel free to join in on the discussion. (List not complete, it takes too long to do at one time) S Tier - Pokemon so...

Throwing this set out there for those in need of a good sweeper. Blaziken @ Choice Band Ability: agility EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - U-turn - Flare Blitz - Close Combat - Earthquake/Stone edge/Knock off Blaziken seems like a really under-appreciated trademark mon from my...

Yeah... i quickly started finding games with better opponents... well maybe not better opponents, but far more neutralising/eternamax teams. Problem is still eternamax though. Any other pokemon you would kill/outspeed easily enough. The stats allow it to run the ability without caring about...

I was worried this meta would be just stupid broken. But so far, nothing has been a real issue besides Eternamax... with a base stat of 1125.... Okay, okay, I get this is Hackmons without the rules, but come on, that's not even a Pokemon. Surely you can make an exception for banning the only...

Just adding my thoughts to the ban conversation. I kinda think you need to avoid banning anything. Almost every ban you implement is going to result primarily from the fact that players struggle to team build in this metagame. There is of course a time and place for bans, huge power and...

I'd guess the problem is that Dragapult in general doesn't get many major improvements by adding a type. Which makes it used less 1. because it's not that useful and, 2. Because it's not that different from using regular Dragapult, so there's no novelty factor. It doesn't have the bulk or...

If anyone is in need of some heavy hitters for their team, I recommend giving one of these a go: Rhyperior Thundurus-I

Strangely enough, i feel like all the fun/important stuff has been mentioned. Stakataka, Pyukumuk (suicide/harassment) Ninjask, Tangrowth/Tangela, Kyreum, Salamence, Kartana (special), the 200+ stat mons like steelix, regis, etc. It's the awkward thing about this metagame, that while some things...

Why not use dig for coverage? You've got sash to live the first attack, and dig will get you +2 speed. I would think there's too many bulky steel/rocks to get a sweep with bug/flying coverage.

There didn't seem to be a separate thread for this month's OM StAAAbmons? So I guess I'm posting my team here. I reached roughly 1400~ points (Top 10 on the ladder, currently no16 after a loss) with this team with back-to-back wins and I was really impressed with how few teams were able to...

I haven't managed to find a team i really like yet, but I've found some really powerful options. I tried to avoid standard nasty plot/swords dance sets, as anything with swords dance/scarf/uturn is an obvious choice. Here's a few ideas: :Heatran: :Raikou: :Zapdos: :Blastoise: ^ I hate...

So I returned to this metagame seriously for the first time since Sun and Moon. I was really looking forward to testing the full capabilities of the new abilities, pokemon and moves. But then I saw it. and then luckily that opponent sacked it unnecessarily. But then the next game I saw another...

Hey, i noticed you hadn't put out an OM video for this month yet. Thought you'd like to try this out when you get around to it: CAMOMONS: https://pokepast.es/0c50f83751b861f8 Highlights are: Ground/Fire Necrozma (Basically Primal Groudon in OU) Electric/Flying Drampa (What if Zapdos was...

There haven't been many full teams posted since the OM went active again, so I'll sacrifice my favourite team for all you lurkers who just want an easy pastable team to try out: :Lycanroc-Dusk: (Dark/Fighting): eighteenPancakes mentioned lycanroc being extremely powerful and they were...

Thanks for the advice. I had thought that might be the case, but since it was an empty slot i didn't try too hard to test against faster mons. I'll fix that set up.

Making the monthly obligatory OM ideas post I present to you, the most heat set of the metagame. SWEEPER COALOSSAL - Water/Rock. Coalossal @ Power Herb Ability: Steam Engine EVs: 40 HP / 252 SpA / 216 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Scald - Meteor Beam - Flamethrower - Solar Beam The ability...

Megas to the high ladder team. Mega Gardevoir + Offense https://pokepast.es/d55095b5a070bd30 More balanced for breaking apart stall and a variety of offense in National Dex.

Megas to the high ladder team. Mega Medicham + The Click Button Family. https://pokepast.es/c9fdfe62858005a9 Gimmicky team around Pokemon that have no switch ins.
