    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Volcarona Banned]

    Yeah I mean I don't think it's a obvious lock that Darkrai is balanced in SM, but I think it's above 50% to be balanced It would be really stupid for the decision-makers in charge of SM to not retest a likely balanced pokemon because I said something rudely and hurt their feelings. People...

    Metagame SV OU Metagame Discussion v4 [Volcarona Banned]

    Umm... no shit? One of the biggest tiering mistakes of SM was the council refusing to test Darkrai - it was likely balanced there too being relatively frail compared to the rest of the meta and walled by the best pivot in the meta in AV gear. It's shocking that someone with this much experience...

    RBY OU - Patching 1/256 + Recoveries Misses

    Not sure why monte carloing this was necessary Scenario 1 has probability 27/41 (65.85%) the great player wins Scenario 2 has probability 589/903 (65.23%), which is slightly less. These are both relatively straightforward to compute as (.6*.9)/(.6*.9 + .4*.6 + .4*.1) and (.62*.95)/(.62*.95 +...

    RBY OU - Patching 1/256 + Recoveries Misses

    This is absolutely correct. Sleep clause shouldn't exist, especially in modern generations; it's incredibly invasive and can't be replicated on cart. Moves that exclusively induce sleep should be outright banned, just like baton pass. The fact that we're in gen 8 and still using such an...
