Taunt + roost + jaw lock roaring moon (mence) does a lot more work for me than dd ever does. Enough speed for iron treads, rest in HP + spdef. Poison tera for fighting types, amoonguss, and flutter mane. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1717050317 https://pokepast.es/6002ec089c789f5d

Don't sleep on dondozo. Thing hard walls any physical attacker, even lives banded breloom bullet seed (3 hit) and is a good counter-sweep. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1717050317 https://pokepast.es/2212f4b9eea03575

Here's a bulky dd dragapult set that has been putting in a ton of work for me. Willo + phantom + leftovers lets you set up on a ton of physical attackers. Dragapult @ Leftovers Ability: Clear Body EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def Jolly Nature - Dragon Dance - Phantom Force - Dragon...

Ubers Z-celebrate Ho-oh. I'm fairly certain you've never used z Ho-oh. Roost + pressure (celebrate requires pressure) stalls out rock coverage reliably, stab can sweep most teams mid to late game. This team has not been tested high ladder so use caution, you may prefer using it in a laid back...

So this team got me to top 4 in Let's Go Candied, 14-1. Teleport magneton can pivot on nearly the whole meta, while hitmonlee is a great wallbreaker and stallsweeper, save it for late game. taunt+roost aero and mew carry the team. The last slot has never done anything for me despite the win...

Bringing my favorite archetype, bulky offense, to CAP, featuring sash scylant, which can keep its sash intact with mountaineer; zapdos, with toxic to help the pyroak and collosoil match up; scarf kitsunoh, with foul play for dangerous setup like cawmodore and spdef to beat kerfluffle; av...

Joey, here's a quick read to help out with Randbats by Oglemi. Scroll to the bottom real quick and memorize those mons - they're the "biggest threats" list. Don't go throwing away Heatmor or Sigilyph! https://www.smogon.com/smog/issue35/randbats-expert

psychic terrain interactions are very odd. For example, gale wings talonflame has priority but isn't blocked by the terrain, while fake out at regular priority (fake out + uturn) gets blocked by the terrain. Neither of these should be the case, if I'm understanding the meta correctly...

Now, I'm on the fence for this suspect, and since lots of pro-ban arguments are above, I'd like to give some points for the no-ban argument, specifically usage. There is no denying that weezing, defensive mesprit, and pallosand are really the only switchins to banded passimian (or gorgeist, but...

Was thinking you could make a video playing OU with sets from random battles, since those sets are horrible. Honchkrow without brave bird, scarf goodra and scarf primarina... The opportunities are endless.

I would like to reiterate how good Marill is at trapping the tier's biggest walls and letting your sweepers, such as Malamar or Bibarel, win unopposed: Marill @ Eviolite Ability: Sap Sipper EVs: 252 HP / 76 Def / 180 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Whirlpool - Perish Song - Rest -...

I love the idea of this meta and I'm going to play a lot of it during december. Personally, I really like finding unmons that actually make a big impact whenever I play a tier or new motm, so I've been doing some theorymoning: One option would be eviolite sap sipper marill with whirlpool +...

Yes, counters exist for offense, special toxicroak and comfey being the best options imo, and other counters exist like gurdurr and (dare I say it) hitmonchan. In other words, there are less than viable / lower tier mons that serve very little purpose outside of beating down the shark...
