Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
For all the gripes about the story feeling rushed here (especially the Area Zero stuff) the Crystal Pool event was genuinely one of the best parts of the entire game and feels like a pretty good payoff for the game. Just hope there's more through a free update like Daybreak or the Pecharunt...
Didn't mean to derail the discussion, was just confused why anyone was saying that to begin with lol
So this isn't a one liner, how is sand faring in this meta? Ttar got its best bud back (Excadrill) but it seems like I still never see sand teams
May I ask why we're pretending Serperior isn't one of the five or ten best Pokemon in OU right now? Low ladder trash here but just about every high ladder game I've watched has had a Serperior put in work
Let's move on to something else
How is faring in the meta? Sun seems like a decent anti-meta pick (in my head, at least, I'm low ladder for a reason), especially with Hearthflame Ogerpon running around everywhere (sorry if the pic is too big idk where to find the neat little pics of the pokemon lol)

sorry if this isn't the right place to post this but will there be a role compendium for gen 9 ou? it was really useful in gen 8 for just collecting all of the different archetypes so i could teambuild, so i hope it's being worked on, thanks!
It doesn't matter if they're casual fans or hardcore competitive players. The point of the survey was to obtain a consensus from everyone, not just hardcore smogonheads like a lot of us. Regardless, even with experienced players, there appears to be significant opposition to a complete ban
I'm not in favor of banning the mechanic but I'm willing to listen to what pro-ban users have to say to back up their side. But all I've seen over the last few pages are weak arguments about 50/50s and uncompetitiveness, theorymonning, and borderline personal attacks towards people against a...
Yeah this seems busted. I know the council doesn't like complex bans but I'd be in support of a salt cure + block ban. This seems flat out uncompetitive
