  2. On The Radar Vol. 2 [See Post #336]

    You know what? I agree: fuck it. Just either suspect or quickban this mon. I'm gonna be super petty when I say that some people missed out on doing something cool and unique at the start of Gen 8. And I'm glad that an actually good ice type will be leaving; I don't even like G-Darm. I like...
  3. On The Radar Vol. 2 [See Post #336]

    I think some people are missing the point in terms of distinction between G-Darm and other mons. One person keeps bringing up huge power as a broken ability. But I'd argue an ability is only really proven broken if at least more than one mon can abuse it to warp the tier. Huge power seems...
  4. On The Radar Vol. 2 [See Post #336]

    This kind of thinking always intrigues me greatly because it hovers around the fundamental balance between inclusivity and tiering policy. Yung Dramps brings up a great point in pointing out that Gorilla tactics is what pushes G-Darmanitan over the edge. Theoretically, a suspect test could...
  5. Pokémon Dragapult

    How does cursed body work with substitutes? If dragapult is behind one, can cursed body still activate if the opponent attacks it?
  6. Resource Simple Questions, Simple Answers Thread (read the op before posting a thread)

    Bulletproof is the best option as it covers a potential wider range of pokemon that exist in the OU metagame than elsewhere. Sound moves are somewhat rare, as any phasing that exists is done through whirlwind (like Skarmory and Hippowdon) and most -ate Hyper Voice pokemon are somewhat unviable...
  7. Resource Simple Questions, Simple Answers Thread (read the op before posting a thread)

    I've been a bit behind on metagame trends, so some information would be nice: Why did Amoonguss rise awhile ago? As in, what set makes it worthwhile in OU? Why was Blacephon straight unranked and not just placed somewhere in C- tier? Is this some meme bandwagon, or does it really not have any...
  8. Resource Simple Questions, Simple Answers Thread (read the op before posting a thread)

    I would generally agree, especially since OU is all inclusive anyway. I guess i would get a different response from the UU forum, which would be more interesting. But I want to stray away from Mamoswine and focus more on how people feel about this kind of influence from one person. For example...
  9. Resource Simple Questions, Simple Answers Thread (read the op before posting a thread)

    So Mamoswine is OU now (as well as Torn-T, which I feel it earned). How do most of you feel about one person able to influence tiering like this? And what do you predict will happen to Mamoswine next drops/rises?

    Holy cow- I've benn logged out so long- So sorry. But yes, I would lvoe to do an analysis of either one. Do you still need one or the other?
  11. Project SM OU Lure That Threat v2 Round 45 - Heart Swap Magearna

    Thundurus- Therian Set: Thundurus-Therian @ Fightnium Z Ability: Volt Absorb EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid/Modest -Nasty Plot -Thunderbolt -Hidden Power Ice -Focus Blast Someone mentioned this Mon in the viability rankings, and looking at the current meta, Thundurus-T can offer a lot...
  12. SM OU Sticky Web Ditto (Now Top 50)

    Thank you very much. M-Venusaur and stall in general are just matches of attrition, which I guess goes against my personal enjoyment (which then makes me fixated on these mons in general). But these notes have made me reconsider some spreads to this team, so once again, thank you.
  13. Metagame Metagame Discussion Thread v3

    Hey, quick question about Marshadow: doesn't he get swagger and spectral thief? Doesn't this mean this combination would inherently make him "uncompetitive" since any would-be check would not only give him an attack boost, but also be forced to roulette a chance to attack? Just curious about...
  14. SM OU Sticky Web Ditto (Now Top 50)

    Thank you, but in your experience, do you have a better way to take down M-Venusaur? Recently, he seems to be rising a bit, and he's such a pain in the ass to deal with. It really makes me wish Gyarados got psychic fangs. I have been considering switching Gyarados in and out with M-Sharpedo to...
  15. SM OU Sticky Web Ditto (Now Top 50)

    Introduction Hello all. I am a simple guy just posting a simple RMT for a play-style that i really enjoy: sticky web. I need some help trying to optimize certain EV spreads as well as more player knowledge of new meta trends. I decided that an RMT post would help with these issues, and so here...
