    I still think Moon is the most pressing issue in the tier currently, but I would not complain about a Raging Bolt or Gouging Fire suspect. I just hope it is Moon first, because this thing can be extremely difficult to respond to with it's Taunt sets, while on Sun teams it can be extremely hard...

    Arch is 100% underexplored and this post is a good time to mention the fucking Focus Energy set on Rain that I ran into and started my lose streak while attempted reqs lmfao. This mon can do a lot and it's cool to see the wild ass sets some people have come up with him. Although my opinion on...

    as ive been grinding reqs i still have not found arch to be that overwhelming, even among the numerous rain teams ive fought. the only other surefire threat imo is roaring moon-- that mon is still doing what it got banned for and can be extremely hard to stop once it gets even the slightest leeway.

    Survey opinions! Sleep: 5 I feel like there is no reason not to tackle Sleep. The mere fact that Sleep Clause exists is a testament of how uncompetitive Sleep itself is. We have a plethora of other ways to debilitate Pokémon (Burn, TWave, Stat reduction to name a few) so i do not think the...

    Archaludon can be scary if given a few turns of setup, but it can be stretched pretty thin on what it wants to do, I feel. Stuff like the AV sets aren't that difficult to call out, and utility sets have to give up power. It can be pretty easy to tell which set it is based on it's team support...

    Hullo, I usually lurk but have been playing ladder a lot lately and wanted to try my hand at contributing to the conversation. Not the Sleep issue that has been discussed a lot already, but rather this question that `ShadowTwo posted a few pages back. Should I do or say anything incorrect please...

    I understand and somewhat agree actually, however I meant that in suspecting Zama we now have people unironically asking for more 650+ BST brick shithouses of mons to be suspected in OU. The wording I used in the original post was not good, and I apologize.

    I know I'm a random but I've been lurking on the metagame threads since stage 1 Gen 8 OU and the ramifications of letting the Zamas in OU for any amount of time at all is irreparable. That is all I wanted to say.

    Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion v3 (Usage in post #251)

    This is my first post on the Showdown forums, but I've been a lurker for a bit now. I just wanted to share the idea of Centiskorch being a pretty good check to Venusaur, who (to my understanding) seems to be giving a few a fair bit of trouble. The set being: Centiskorch (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots...
