After reading through this thread, feels like a bunch of the ideas like unbanning Lugia, or banning Thund/Latios/Cloy is just fluff on the side that people divert into while the elephant in the room is Sand Force Excadrill and the related inconsistency in what is apparently acceptable under...

Down in Flames https://pokepast.es/6b211cb047f61eea So I've been having fun trying out ADV recently after I got a bit bored with modern gens. I rather like the creativity you can have in the teambuilder with the limited pokedex and the overall lower power level. I generally like to build more...

I haven't really played OU since its release, but a quick glance through the damage calc makes me think that Specs Walking Wake could be a solid replacement for Moth that doesn't suffer from Flash Fire. Life Orb with EVs for speed boost under Sun is interesting too, but would want a slightly...

Grimmsnarl dropping is a surprise for sure. I was running Scream Tail screens HO while getting adjusted to the tier, but I guess it's time to swap. Only real advantage Scream has is SR and Encore, but Prankster Taunt to deny opposing hazards seems more valuable at a glance.

zone + pom-pom looks menacing here

Fire from the Gods https://pokepast.es/81a6971ddd45b782 Introduction. Alright, so I've had a lot of fun initially with S/V OU and I built a good amount of teams. It's worn off a bit now and I'm going to take a break until Home at least, but I wanted to drop one of my favorite teams first. One...

Think you linked the wrong replay brother

Alright you convinced me when you compared it to Crawdaunt. I want my lobster back.

Alright, I'll drop something fun, though it's got some weaknesses. Avalugg-Slowking BO https://pokepast.es/e1f29ab3364c7419 :avalugg: :slowking: :chien-pao: :dragonite: :kingambit: :skeledirge: Avalugg is a bit niche, but it's got insane defense, making it one of the few things that can switch...

:garchomp: :ceruledge:

D>A>B>E (C is my own) I played a couple games with team D with some small changes and it felt very smooth, won all of them.

:dragapult: and :skeledirge: are the most practical and generally useful sets of these imo. I've used that Dragapult set a decent amount in mid 1600s, and while not having a immediate ghost stab to threaten ghold is annoying, it can win quite a few late-games.

According to Bulbapedia, you now only gain Adaptability on your new type. If it was one of your original types, it's a 2.25 boost instead. ' When a Pokémon with Adaptability is Terastallized, Adaptability has no effect on any type besides the Tera type. If the Pokémon's Tera type is one of its...

Can't believe Mudkipnerd mods his Wii...no wait. Can't believe Ausma lost to a level 1 LeChonk.

Slowking is honestly quite good, but the Hail/Snow abusers are kind of meh (Ice Body Sub Baxcalibur has some legs but that's it), so it's basically Teleport with a different name now. I wish they had given Cetitan an Ice-type Wave Crash/Flare Blitz man.
