For those who think Iron Bundle deserves more time, what do you think functions as a good switch-in to it aside from Blissey and Hydro Pump’s animation going to the left of the opponent?
Made a fairly lengthy post about him which you can find here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sv-ou-metagame-discussion-see-post-163.3710915/post-9404003 tl;dr insanely fast and nearly impossible to switch into, for a lot of teams this thing coming out means you that you have to sack somethingLet’s not derail on this tangent. I think the useful life of this subtopic of conversation is over
what do people think about Iron Bundle?
Being able to use Acrobatics after consuming Booster Energy is great. Thankfully its not another Normal Gem situation cause of its below average attack stat. Can't tell if its better to Booster SpAtk or Speed.Let’s not derail on this tangent. I think the useful life of this subtopic of conversation is over

I doubt glowking would keep it from being broken though, would just give one more answer to Bundle. Having to run Blissey and Glowking to beat it as well as other more niche sets to beat it isn't healthy in the slightest.If only slowking-g was still here
but yeah bundle is terrifying. I guess the only downside is running specs is hard b/c hazard removal is so tight.
I'm probably going to revert back to Sylveon - though it's a bit of a copium answer untill I find something better:For those who think Iron Bundle deserves more time, what do you think functions as a good switch-in to it aside from Blissey and Hydro Pump’s animation going to the left of the opponent?
Iron bundle stocks plummet 4000%HUGE MECHANICS UPDATE
When Protosynthesis / Quark Drive boost Speed, its by 50%, but for ANY other stat, its 30%!!!
Defensively, there's some really easy answers if you commit tera typing. Anything with Water Absorb and tera fire is a fun answer. Clodsire specifically would probably prefer Tera Ghost which handles it too.For those who think Iron Bundle deserves more time, what do you think functions as a good switch-in to it aside from Blissey and Hydro Pump’s animation going to the left of the opponent?
Flutter Mane and Houndstone got banned yesterday. If you want more info, the thread with the ban and vote is pinned.Which pokemon got banned ever since the release of this gen?
Yep that makes iron bundle even more broken than it already is, wow as if bundle could be any more broken..HUGE MECHANICS UPDATE
When Protosynthesis / Quark Drive boost Speed, its by 50%, but for ANY other stat, its 30%!!!
If anything this mechanic makes iron bundle more broken since it can beat pult nowIron bundle stocks plummet 4000%
How do you think this impacts your views on the paradox mons? For instance, does this change your views on roaring moon and its status in regards to suspect testing, quick ban, etc?HUGE MECHANICS UPDATE

Thanks so another on the radar is coming it seems, honestly feels necessary right now!To everyone asking about votes and bans, there will be a new On The Radar posted tonight or tomorrow night (alongside an edit to the Viability List). We then intend to vote later in the week like we did this past week.
This way we have a clear line of communication and transparency while remaining proactive, but we still have some restraint and checks in terms of a timeline rather than a “let’s ban all the crazy shit rn” mentality.
It’s too early to tell. I’m at work and haven’t gotten a chance to think it through; it’ll be especially noted when I play more games later today or tomorrow, so then I’ll have a better grasp.How do you think this impacts your views on the paradox mons?

Maybe I'm a dumbass idiot but I assumed we thought all stats got a 1.5x boost, and now the boosts to everything but speed are lower, so this is more of a nerfIf anything this mechanic makes iron bundle more broken since it can beat pult now
WELL THAT CHANGES A LOT.HUGE MECHANICS UPDATE

It's most certainly a nerf on the offensive side. And I can't comment much on flutter mane but it potentially changes some people's views on something like flutter mane. Certainly a powerful boost but it's without a doubt tamer.Maybe I'm a dumbass idiot but I assumed we thought all stats got a 1.5x boost, and now the boosts to everything but speed are lower, so this is more of a nerf
thankfully doesn't change flutter manes stupidity either way so I still don't have to see that thing ever again. small victories
