Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
So I've been experimenting a little with this format in the past day or two, and I figure I should share the team I am still tinkering with.
This team is very janky and gimmicky BTW, so definetly not claiming its good, but I think some of the inheritance combinations I'm using could prove...
I sort of want to adress this directly because I want to sort of crystalize my counterargument from my previous post.
1: This lack of agency has always been present as an assumed and accepted risk by the sheer existence of moves like Ice Beam and Relic Song. Paralysis, while crippling, is not a...
Okay, I would like to make a defense of Sneasler as best as I can.
Issue 1: Dire Claw
Dire Claw is somewhat of a problematic move, but I think its too early to say if this alone is enough to ban Sneasler. First, the chance to poison is somewhat irrelevant, because while it is still a negative...
Your arguments feel a bit reductive of other people’s posts, rather than engaging in constructive discussion, at least the first two parts. Lando-I and Hoopa-U have historically been very unhealthy for the tier so I think its very reasoneable to keep an eye on them, especially in a changing...
There is a decent amount of discussion surrounding a lot of the new threats from pokemon HOME, and I kind of want to add in my 2 cents here. This is an opinion post and I'm sure many of you will find my opinions are bad, but there aint much I can do about that innit.
For some information on my...
I dont have expirience with some of the mons you mentionned, but I do mostly agree with you. There are a few things I would like to ask about/note/change
(2) -> (2.5 or 3): I'm definetly biast here, but SG revavroom is a really nice addition to poison IMO. It helps releive the pressure off of...
So, I know not everyone will agree with me here, but Maushold should be at the very least on your watchlist as a pokemon that may very well be ban worthy. Lets take into account the following facts:
Maushold has the ability technician, and learns the move population boom, a 20 base power (30 if...
I've decided to start expirimenting with the teir, and there is a mon I would like to talk about:
Jynx
Jynx dosent look that impressive on a surface level, but is arguably comparable to noivern: though Jynx does not learn Boomburst, it learns a move thats almost just as powerfull: Wring Out...
