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...

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...

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...

How does cursed body work with substitutes? If dragapult is behind one, can cursed body still activate if the opponent attacks it?

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...

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...

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...

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?

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

I agree that Mega Lopunny will probably not have the same impact as it did in ORAS, especially since the meta already seems like it's heading to bulky offense and most of the top tier mons seem to give it a hard time. As for the other two megas coming, I can't really predict that much for...

I would argue that sticky web is much better than last generation due to all the speed creep and choice scarfs, and that the best setter is still shuckle. Its all about just fitting the right mons to counter the opponent's hazard removal options. Personally, I have had great success with Gengar...

I am very curious about Rotom-Wash . . . is he still A rank material in the current meta? Has anyone else had consistent success using him? I am not saying this to nominate him lower, but because i personally have struggled with using him and was surprised to see him still held highly. The...

Hey all, I was just curious about Decidueye's hidden ability: does long reach only avoid contact, or does it also provide a hidden benefit, like a power boost? I was just thinking about how weird it was that Decidueye's signature move is non-contact anyway and while browsing the mechanics...

I think you are correct in saying that Decidueye is not meant to be a brute force monster. However, i don't think he makes that great of a utility mon either. Whenever i use his defensive defog sets or stallbreaker sets, I always feel disappointed because they either take away your offensive...
