The major issue with Ice Scales, and we've seen this with play out with both Fur Coat and Ice Scales for years, is it's not about having a nice special wall that can play its role super well. It's about offensive or set-up mons who use Ice Scales to make it unbearably difficult to revenge kill...

I probably agree that Good as Gold is broken with the right team. I just haven't seen that team yet as not many people are running it on ladder. It'd probably look like Spikestack + Ghost that can tank Tusk's hits + GaG user in some capacity to beat non-scrappy spin teams. Figured I'd post...

:Landorus-Therian::Blastoise: Used a fun defensive regen core to top the ladder. Rocks + Spin + 2x momentum. Switch ins to tusk (and gknot to pressure!), sneasler + plenty of special hitters. Threats to the core that you want to patch up: OGERPON-WELLSPRING IS A BAD BAD MON (for this...

Topped the ladder in large part due to my teams being able to deal with one VERY prevalent core. If you're building a team that's remotely balance or offensive in the current meta, you need to have two important things: An anti-HO measure and more importantly a pokemon that beats Clod+Alo cores...

Figured I'd drop my favourite team of the last little bit. Got me to #2 and I think I could get #1 with it, but I change teams too much :Hydreigon::Cinderace::Manaphy::Great-Tusk::Gholdengo::Dragonite:

Ngas in a meta that's entirely about the dispersal of abilities to non-native pokemon is inherently anti-meta (in the worst sense) and unfun. It's also broken so that's three reasons it should go

forced? Idts, there's AV regen and no damp rock does way more against Wake than anything it gets from the DLC. Also it's just me, but I'm willing to bet Empoleon is a top tier mon anyway. Roost Water/Steel type is incredible

Clefairy could probably run water absorb and be a usable Walking Wake switch in...also more importantly, Empoleon is back, so Wake just found its answer

Rain is the other one that needs a hard look at

in

Also Ngas on set up sweepers was utterly insane. Sturdy, Dazzling, Unaware all irrelevent. Sounds like Mold Breaker sure, but what about prank-haze? Suddenly that's unviable. Intimidates, Dauntless Shield, the Ruin abilities, all not proccing. Hell I know ditto aint allowed, but if it was, too...

Ban Magearna

My guess: Since it got banned 19 different Arceus' with Wisp, 2 Fairy/Flying legendaries, Chesnaught, Moltres, and Intim Lando all were introduced. Godly Gift as a meta has shifted far more than any other OM with home (don't quote me). It seems to me that there are plenty of reasons for many...

https://pokepast.es/f09382966a48e3ef Went 32-1 with this team, think the loss was a timeout but don't remember 100%

PS name: jrdn Preferred metas: AAA /GG Timezone: GMT -4 Foreseeable Inactivity: Really just a matter of interest in the game. WIth home being out I'll probably be playing for a couple weeks, but if I lose interest.... :blobshrug:

The fact that something random like Bulk up Quaq would sleepwalk through just about any set from that entire exaggerated watch list if it had Ice Scales tells me all I need to know. Bulky set up with these abilities are just too much of a problem, that's my 2 cents
