Some background is I haven't played nat dex very much and wanted to ask the reasoning for a couple placements. I have played a lot of the previous gens OU's however. Slither Wing on paper to me seems like a pretty strong attacker with its priority, strong stab and recovery + bulk. Why isn't it...

Meta does feel really limiting to try and use stuff outside hyper offense rn

With Revival Blessing finally implemented here's the set I was thinking might catch on Pawmot @ Leppa Berry Ability: Volt Absorb / Iron Fist EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Double Shock / Thunder Punch - Close Combat - Volt Switch / Ice Punch / Mach Punch - Revival Blessing I...

I just wanted to post my brief thoughts. While I believe Melmetal to be an excellent mon capable of technically 1v1ing just about any other mon a lack of reliable recovery holds it back. It can definitely abuse its massive bulk to switch into dangerous threats and 1v1 them but it really can't do...

Those are all great traits I think they were a lot better in gen 7 where it wasn't even OU but I'm looking at a lot of the best mons and a ton of them just dumpster Bisharp like Body Press Corviknight, Tank Chomp, Any Buzzwole variant and Melmetal to name a few

Just recently realized Bisharp is somehow OU. I'm kinda surprised by this at theirs so many good OU mons who just beat Bisharp really badly and only a handful it beats itself. Am I missing something that makes it have its B tier placement?

Ah fair enough. How boost are calculated when dealing with abilities or items can always feel a bit messy. Also, I edited my team a bit so Perrserker isn't included

In preparation for Tier Shift being voted in for the June OM I decided to make a team for it. Decidueye @ Spell Tag Ability: Long Reach EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Leaf Blade - Spirit Shackle - Roost Seems like a really strong attacker, able...

Just threw this team together. Excited to try it out once the metagame goes live! Blacephalon @ Choice Scarf Ability: Beast Boost EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Psyshock (Fire) - Overheat (Ghost) - Shadow Ball - Trick Slowbro @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Regenerator...

Well I think the full defense really helps in staving off physical attackers while gaining boost alongside ensuring body press deals a ton of damage. That said I haven't really optimised this sets EV's very much so that could work. Maybe you could dump some of the HP ev's into special defense

Just wanted to share the most demon set in existence. Melmetal @ Leftovers Ability: Iron Fist EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Impish Nature - Body Press - Substitute - Double Iron Bash - Acid Armor An inherent benefit of this set is that it's a nice check to Weavile, Rillaboom, Bisharp...

Here's a very fun set I've been using. With Freeze Dry Keldeo is able to threaten two of it's biggest counters being grass types and water types. Being able to threaten ground types with the same move you threaten water types is also huge for easing prediction. Keldeo-Resolute @ Choice Specs...

Just wanted to post this demon of a set. With Thousand Waves, you're able to trap Toxapex and 2 hit KO it. It also lets you hit Heatran and Tyranitar for super effective damage and either outright KO or trap it and 2 hit KO. Very few common mons can switch into this thing with only Sacred Fire...

Here are some fun sets I've been messing around with Mimikyu @ prankster Ability: Disguise EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Brave Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Toxic - Destiny Bond - Shadow Sneak - Play Rough Thanks to having access to both disguise and prankster, it can switch into fully...

Oh yeah I'm not denying Urshifu-Rapid-Strike is an overall better mon than Keldeo but I'm just pointing out Keldeo has its niche that Urshifu can't do

C --> B Keldeo is in a really strange spot right now but I think with the right team team support it's capable of being an excellent cleaner. The main competition for it is Urshifu-Rapid-Strike which is a decent bit stronger while having the same stab alongside priority. Where I think Keldeo...

The Team: Rotom-Heat @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Defog - Volt Switch - Overheat - Pain Split Rotom-Heat is on this team to provide a couple of key roles. It provides an important Flying, Fire, Steel and Electric resist but can...
