- this meta seems a bit more offensively based
- than defensive
- scarf lele, metagross, mega zam
- taunt fini
- koko
- including pheramosa
- thing i love about it is that it's more fast paced and it can get abused so quickly
- that's the pro, but the con is stall is becoming less and less valuable w/ all these new breakers we got
- like taunt fini that i mentioned eariler
- shuts down stall like nothing if u play well w/ it
- so what i would like to see is
- just a meta that can have a more
- controlled diversity i guess u can say
- balanced out with a good team vs all these new threats we have to be successful in the tier
- and the best way to do this is to continue to play in it
- that's how anyone gets better and that's how u prove yourself
- passing to njnp.
- Rriiver Nyile
- 7:12pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- So, I agree with alot of things mentioned by zamrock this meta is heavily focused on offense
- not ho though mons like ninja,tapu kokolele
- have killed ho
- and made it kinda unviable from the previous pinsir t flame days
- so atm most definitely bulky offense is the most and most reliable style of play in the metagame like it was in the previous gen.
- Their are issues in this gen alot of borked shit came like phermosa,lele,and genesect came back down
- all these mons require suspects in the near future. I honestly am not the biggest fan of this meta but I do enjoy it much more then clefable on every team and hazard to constantly try so hard to run hazard control and worried if pinsir/tflame ho 6-0s my team.
- so those are my views on whats going on atm passing to ricardo
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 7:15pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- This meta is ass
- Tony Ngassi
- 7:15pm
- Tony Ngassi
- lol
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 7:15pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Like
- It's a fun meta but there's so much retarded shit into the tier
- All these super restrictive mons like gross, lele phero etc
- Shit like lele just disables the playstyle it wants
- I definitely think we have a lot of work to refine the gen
- There are playstyles like ho which just can't exist and i think that's fucked up
- You need to run a lot of specific mons just not to los
- *lose
- Bo is like the only viable playstyle
- You can have some success with bare offense and certain balances
- But they don't have enough room to insert countermeasures to every threat
- But that's more of playstyle instead of meta
- Although sm reforces that
- Oh and stall is also viable
- Ban duggy
- Anyway
- Obii is dead
- So let's move on
- Rriiver i'm not hosting
- Rriiver Nyile
- 7:21pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Yea we are gonna
- recap
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 7:21pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Go on
- Rriiver Nyile
- 7:21pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- what has been said
- Il go first
- 7:21pm
- You added Thanos Tigkas.
- Rriiver Nyile
- 7:21pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- So, I think stall is definitely very viable
- and is the most viable strat
- after bulky offense
- which is quite unfortunate that atm ur in a bad spot either bulky offense or stall
- as your opinions to use
- Momentum is a big thing in this metagame
- Just a sidenote I wish t flame was still viable cause bulky t flame would be great atm

- (y) got it
- Rriiver Nyile
- 7:24pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- anyway, lets move onto question 2
- unless u have something to say tony
- Tony Ngassi
- 7:25pm
- Tony Ngassi
- ?
- hmm nah you covered everything
- Rriiver Nyile
- 7:26pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- alright
- 2. What needs to be suspected atm
- I'll start this off
- quite simply alot of shit.
- not in any particular order
- but z moves,lele,genesect(current),mosa,dugtrio
- all need suspects
- I'll go into the reasons then let zamrock speak
- Tony Ngassi
- 7:27pm
- Tony Ngassi
- brief explanation as to why
- if you dont mind
- Rriiver Nyile
- 7:27pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- yea ofc
- z moves make unwinnable match ups winnable constantly the change the direction of games constantly
- with mons like rp z move fly lando
- z move sunny day lele
- sand storm garchomp
- their are so many different combos and game changing ways to win with them they have to go
- I know their fun but they are really unhealthy
- Lele can run so many viable sets and none of them are bad lol
- It really is retarded it can get away with being a scarfer,a breaker(taunt),specs etc
- Its ability is what puts it over the edge
- and personally instead of banning the mon the ability should just be complexed banned
- cause if u take away its psychic boost and it now can get hit by priority
- its savagery would calm down
- genesect
- simply just u turns around
- brings in shit
- like
- lele
- and other breakers and haha even z move lando on trans for a decently free set up
- while being able to break teams with sets like eb,shift gear and rp
- It keeps showcasing why its suspected each gen
- I hope this time it stays
- I think it has a positive/negeative
- impact
- on the metagame
- that balances out nicely
- next is phermosa
- Its not the most disgusting thing in the world but my god
- this thing really needs to go
- it just makes the meaning of ho
- die
- at the sight of it
- especially paired with lele
- thanos made a very nice team
- with lele and phermosa really just showing
- how they can just tear right through teams
- with nice help
- its able to revenge
- many sweepers
- with ada scarf
- like sand drill,kingdra rain,and any other dd
- very well
- while revenging any other scarfer and literally having zero reason not to click u turn at times

- heres the team if u want to steal
- anyway
- next mon dugtrio
- This is what makes stall broken.
- You remove dugtrio stall becomes much easier to handle
- dugtrio is able to trap all the best breakers like hoopa,banded ttar,lele,heatran
- while being able to use scarf on balance and trap koko
- phermosa(non scarf)

- ur ok
- Tony Ngassi
- 7:35pm
- Tony Ngassi
- LOL
- Rriiver Nyile
- 7:35pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- anyway, dugtrio atm makes arch types like genesect
- plus it shine
- and do what it needs to do to make genesect
- shine even more
- is an extremely unhealthy mon that i wish the council took seriously
- just cause it cant trap flying mons/levitate mons like goth doesnt make it any less deadly
- especially with the atk boost that made it even more amazing then it was in oras
- alright, tony your turn
- Tony Ngassi
- 7:37pm
- Tony Ngassi
- okay
- I personally think Genesect, Lele, Metagross,
- should be looked at
- Genesect is basically the best mon in the ttier
- and its not really that close
- imo
- super versatile with all of its sets
- none of which are bad either
- Kyle Harrison Burns
- 7:38pm
- Kyle Harrison Burns
- Too bad Clefable doesn't seem really relevant anymore
- Tony Ngassi
- 7:38pm
- Tony Ngassi
- and if you find yourself playing against "that one set" you just lose to it
- Rriiver Nyile
- 7:38pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- kyle thats the second time
- one more time mate and i got to kick u sry but plz stop interrupting
- Kyle Harrison Burns
- 7:39pm
- Kyle Harrison Burns
- My b
- Rriiver Nyile
- 7:39pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- go on tony
- Tony Ngassi
- 7:39pm
- Tony Ngassi
- okay
- yeah Genesect is really versatile with everything it can do and never really fails at it either
- so im glad its getting tested atm
- next is Lele
- I don't have as much trouble with it as I do with Gene
- but
- its Psychic surge
- is jsut busted
- thats the only real reason its broken
- Specs is really hard to slower defensive teams to counter
- scarf beats offense
- and then you have other shit
- like
- CM
- or whatever zmove you want to run to beat X thing
- I think it will be more obnoxious if/when Genesect goes
- but thats something we can deal wtih when the time comes
- and lastly is was Metagross
- maybe im knee-jerk reacting a bit
- but its by far the best mega
- I think its a lot of what made it be tested last gen
- and its apparent again
- maybe it wont be as bad down the roar
- thats all I got
- passing to obii
- Obii Dhaman
- 7:44pm
- Obii Dhaman
- okay so
- I agree with everyone in that gene, lele, and gross are 3 of the strongest mons in the meta atm
- The big question is whether any of these have qualities that push it over the edge
- I think something interesting that abr and Ricardo brought up is that
- These qualities need to be looked at within the context of the meta
- Cus I find that a mistake a lot of people do (myself included) is look at a mon in a vacuum and conclude that it's broken
- Like before sm came out
- I vaguely thought bulu was gonna be broken cus I saw calcs of it ohkoing chomp and Lando with wood hammer
- But obviously it's very different in practice
- Bulu is of course a good mon but not dominant
- Same case with the big 3 I mentioned
- Genesect on paper has absolutely no switch ins
- But tbh if you want a meta where you could wall everything
- Then it becomes very match up based and ruins the battle dynamic
- Mons shouldn't be like that and never was
- Despite this, regarding gene
- I haven't entirely reached a conclusion on whether it deserves to go
- But leaning towards it is too strong
- Also
- Actually ima end here cus my Internet isn't great
- Brb,continue without me
- Rriiver Nyile
- 7:49pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- welp, ricardos turn
- 7:49pm
- You added Joseph Carmichael Bryant.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 7:49pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Well
- Genesect lele pheromosa duggy z moves and maybe gross
- These are the only borked things
- Genesect can run any set it wants
- Band, scarf, specs, lo, ebelt, rp douse
- All of them have big merit
- Jesus typing with enough defenses to put it to use
- The best ones imo are scarf and lo/ebelt
- Scarf eats offense, lo and ebelt are kind of the same thing but ebelt is more for luring and lo is straight up breaking as much as possible in one set
- I'm leaning towards no ban
- Yes it has good sets but nome of them are THAT retarded and they all have countermeasures imo
- The set can also be decyphered through team composition a lot timea
- *times
- People are just lazy
- They don't want to think and allow genesect for free without thinking about the possibilties
- It's a mon that requires thought to switch into but i don't think it's bad
- It always keeps the meta fresh in comparison to the stale oras meta we had due to the nature of the tier where you run counters to everything
- Rriiver Nyile
- 7:56pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- *tried to run
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 7:57pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Pretty much what obii was talking about me and abr saying the matchup issues
- It's the best mon in the tier but we should keep it imo
- We should also look at tier policies
- It's a new meta
- Kennedy Erem
- 7:57pm
- Kennedy Erem
- Knawledge
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 7:57pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- It's stupid to judge a new meta with outdated views
- Next is lele
- Lele is stupid
- this mon is disgustting
- it can do pretty much everything it needs and is near perfect at it
- scarf completely invalidates offense by itself
- taunt twisted spoon dismantles stall most of the time (duggy is balanced)
- specs has 0 switch ins
- Kennedy Erem
- 7:59pm
- Kennedy Erem
- Not to mention the way it pairs up with mega gross and/or mega zam
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 7:59pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- cm can be used as a win con vs fat kind of like lando i

- Yo
- Rriiver Nyile

- u bring up a valid point
- but
- um you missed the part where
- only members allowed to talk
- are allowed to talk
- Kennedy Erem
- 8:00pm
- Kennedy Erem
- Oh
- Rriiver Nyile
- 8:00pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- everyone esle waits till the end
- Kennedy Erem
- 8:00pm
- Kennedy Erem
- Sorry lol
- Rriiver Nyile
- 8:00pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- np mate
- proceed ricardo
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:00pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- it's ability is disgusting
- you can't even revenge this bitch
- you gain shit by being able to pivot into scizor and risk getting lured by twisted spoon
- offense can't revenge it with priority
- it's ability also supports so many mons
- psychic spam cores with zam
- preventing priority for pheromosa and setup sweepers
- it also has some nice bulk, letting it pivot into certain mons like fini and just pressure the whole team
- it's just retarded
- i hope this butterfly looking bitch goes soon
- next is duggy
- duggy traps the things that threaten stall
- there
- after doing that, the remainder of the team proceed to stall you with their combinaion of mons
- it has enough atk and movepool to trap mmost stallbreakers
- it can also be used in balance although definitely not as viable
- shit like scarf revenges a lotf of mons like gross which ae dangerous to these balances
- koko, lele, hoopa, etc
- trapping keeps showingwhy it's a broken element in mons
- pheromosa kills any offensive playstyle
- scarf beats weather teams
- band has 0 switch ins on offense
- it can u turn on a lot of it's checks like marowak
- it's not as much of a momentum as genesect but definitely stupid
- you can even run qd z hyper bveam to fuck shit like toxapex
- i'm on the fence about gross
- it's checks aren't nearly as iable anymore
- it has close to 0 switch ins
- it blanket checks a lot of the meta
- i don't thinki i'd ban it but it's a mon worth keeping an eye on
- z moves are stupid
- you have tornadus and drill beating "counters" like rotom
- super unhealthy, make the game more matchup reliant
- really hard to scout
- turn bad matchups into good ones
- offense is now one of the best manaphy matchups when it was it's worste
- they really should be banned imo
- they add unhealthy elements of unpredictability
- anyway, i'm done
- next question
- Zamrock In
- 8:10pm
- Zamrock In
- lmao
- jesus
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:10pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Oh wait
- Zamrock is alive
- Zamrock In
- 8:10pm
- Zamrock In
- nah next question
- LOL
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:10pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- LOL
- Fine
- Zamrock In
- 8:10pm
- Zamrock In
- y'all got it all already
- i'll start it then i guess
- to w/e q is next
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:11pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 3 - best mon and mega with why
- Tony Ngassi
- 8:12pm
- Tony Ngassi
- Zam, you start wtih this one
- Zamrock In
- 8:12pm
- Zamrock In
- yeah just thinkin
- i mean well, obviously people are gonna say metagross
- which is what im gonna say also
- it can switch in to 3 out of the 4 tapus and has a chance at beating all of them
- with the ability to
- mega and get it's base 110 speed on the same trun
- is so crucial for it
- it has the best coverage to basically dominate anything that isn't a scizor,, but even scizor has an issue w/ it cuz it always has to roost on gross in order to remain as a check
- and u can easily take advantage of that by switching into a fire type or something to keep momentum going
- it's one of the few megas u can currently use and just by that logic, it's one of the strongest and should be spammed for a reason
- it can be also used to trap the psychics very easily for a seperate win con to win
- like random shit like subCM keld or anything that appreciates lele being gone or weakened (can't think of any at the top of my head rn, probably posion types)
- i'd rank that as number 1
- number 2 i feel gonna have to be mega zam
- again, it takes advnatge of it's speed the turn it megas
- and what's legit is
- back in ORAS, if ur using zam to check weather abusers
- u NEED protect
- like if sand is up and driller is out
- and ur only mon to beat is meag
- u need tect to trace the ablilty to outspeed driller
- in SM, u dont even need tect anymore to do that
- u just throw it out, trace sand rush, and click focus blast
- it's one of the beat offensive killers in the game
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:18pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- And hit
- Zamrock In
- 8:18pm
- Zamrock In
- yeah well, mons amirite
- anyways
- i love how u can still use
- it's basic standard set cuz it's still very good now is it was in ORAS
- psychic/sball/focus blast/filler
- filler is good for all sorts of shit like encore, CM, taunt, HP fire, even gleam for sableye
- it's not broken, but it's incredibly good if u need something fast and can hit hard
- so that's why i rank it number 2
- number 3 is kind of hard..
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:20pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- What about best non mega mon?
- Rriiver Nyile
- 8:20pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Yea if u cant think of a 3rd move to non mega
- *3rd mega
- Zamrock In
- 8:20pm
- Zamrock In
- well
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:20pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Yeah, let's go with 1 mega and 1 non mega
- Zamrock In
- 8:21pm
- Zamrock In
- well i wont rank a tapu
- cuz like no shit those are good
- i wanna think of something underrated and im startin to like
- it'll probably greninja
- both ash and reg
- specs ash is pretty interesting as it's speed tier is amazing that just outclasses torn-t in terms of it
- specs is not an awful set, only thing i hate about it is that it's hard to fit ice beam on it
- since it is useful to nail chompers and lando't w/o risking a miss
- protean is still a fantasic ability to create offensive momentum
- gunk shot is even better now cuz of the tapus spammed everywhere
- good spiker if u play aggresive w/ it
- movepool is basically perfect
- water skuriken im honestly not a HUGE fan of cuz i think it's piss-ass weak, but i like that you are promised to hit 3 times after ash-evoling
- so it'll be easier than risking a 2 hitter
- ash-gren being to outspeed stuff like koo really really benefits it and it can create so much momentum for ur squad if u use it correctly
- not really much else to say about it.
- so i'll pass it to obii
- Ricardo Ferreira

- Rriiver Nyile
- Well he was just a min
- Ohhhh
- Alright
- Ill go then
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:26pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Best mega and best non mega
- I liked zamrock's approach
- Rriiver Nyile
- 8:26pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Best mega is metagross you can't effectively argue another mega is better without making me question why u play this game
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:26pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- After that talk about a mon you think is good
- Rriiver Nyile
- 8:27pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Its able to beat literally everymon 1v1 while removing many threats with pursuit
- and can even be a sweeper with rp
- With moves like bp it can revenge things like phermosa and weav
- While it generally can spam meteor mash very easily and doesnt even require it this gen cause of clefs usage going down the drain
- Ive tried non mash meta and ive enjoyed it
- Anyway, it needs a suspect
- next mon that isnt a mega
- Ill go with an underrated mon and that mon will be mamoswine
- This thing is jesus it pressures out so much with it stabs ohkos so much if played/predicting right in this current meta it can definitely gain u 2 kills or even set up rocks and get u a kill and a rocker that gets u kills is pretty clean
- It has prority ice shard that can come in handy alot while having access to freezy dry to pubish mantines and rotoms
- *punish
- with salamence z move and z move lando being so good its nice to have this around to make them less likely to set up and definitely less likely to sweep.
- Ill pass this to tony, I believe he hasn't gawn
- Tony Ngassi
- 8:31pm
- Tony Ngassi
- im still here
- best Mega and non Mega right?
- hmm

- Tony Ngassi
- I'll go with something that hasnt been said
- I still think Mega Gross is the best
- but zard Y is really cool
- cuz so many teams are weak to it
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:32pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Latios isn't as common anymore helps it a lot
- Tony Ngassi
- 8:33pm
- Tony Ngassi
- and it can put in a ton of work vs stall / balance or BO
- yeah and Latios not being super common helps it a ton as well
- best non mega would be
- Greninja
- both forms
- its still versatile hits really hard
- and is one of the few spikers in the tier that isnt awful
- underrated mon would be Kyurem black
- great at pressuring fat teams with the right support
- SubZero slammer is just absurb
- as it KOs things like Rotom-w, ferro and Celesteela
- from near ful
- full*
- those are my 3
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:36pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- My time then
- Best mega is gross without a doubt
- We talked enough about it so i'll refrain from doing that
- Best non mega is genesect
- Talked enough about it
- Underrated mon
- I'd like to talk about ash greninja since it's my favorite mon to use but it has been adressed already
- I'll go with a marowak
- For some reason a lot of people still think Marowak isn't good
- This mon is so good, definitely the best alolan
- It's typing with lightning rod is absurd
- It walls pretty much every electric
- It's bulk is not bad when invested
- It checks a lot of mons like most genesect sets, pheromosa and koko
- It can run thick club to destroy most switch ins
- Wisp to spread status, viable rocker since not even fini likes switching into shadow bone repeatedly
- One of the few stallbreakers that doesn't get trapped by duggy
- Really good mon
- Question 4 - expectations for sm ou
- Rriiver
- Rriiver Nyile
- 8:42pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Hmm
- My expectations are kinda reserved I am interested in how long marshadow will stay lol
- Im certainly looking forward to its warth
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:42pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 2 days
- Rriiver Nyile
- 8:43pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Lolololol
- Find it funny we finally get good ghosts
- But all of em are either decent or just too broken
- The way people are complaining about the breakers like lele sext
- *sect
- And we already lost lando
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:44pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Rip lando
- Rriiver Nyile
- 8:44pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Just gotta end up like oras ou 2.0
- with koko fini and bulu
- I have no faith
- In the council
- So it really lowers my expectations
- Cause of their views on the metagame
- are their rash decisions
- *and
- I think oras ou was disappointing in the speed tier
- Of certain mons
- They were introduced
- *that
- like decud
- Vikavolt
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:46pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- *sm
- Rriiver Nyile
- 8:46pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Oh yea sumo excuse me
- other then that I expect all the megas to return
- Eventually
- Be weird for them just to have a fe
- w
- i expect events to occur
- and bans to happen when certain megas reappear so yea thats it for me
- Ricardo can go now
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:47pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- well
- this question is kind of hard for me
- expectations come from an subjective point of view
- i'll try to keep it objective and beliveable
- I think sm has potential since we are being given a chance to keep a lot of mons that promote diversity kind of like genesect
- even if that diversity is centralizing at times
- kind of hard to belieave that lmao
- **believe
- i expect a lot of bans though
- most of the things mentioned here will get suspected
- i can see stall bcoming stupid though
- if the council keeps the same view
- this ties into what i was talking about policy changes in the face of a new gen
- the council seems to be trying keeping the same power creep as in oras ins a completely different meta
- it's just better to play oras at that point
- metas change, that's why we play them
- it wouldn't be worth playing a meta where clef latios lando is the most common core again
- but i guess tiering is subjective at it's core
- we just have to trust the council (which i don't lmao)
- so yeah, i expect a lot of stall
- ho may return if phero goes
- and lele
- hm
- i could see the council testing some mons because of z moves
- but that ties into a question later so i'll refrain from it now
- where's zam
- Rriiver Nyile
- 8:54pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- He's coming
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:54pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- did tony talk about this one yet?
- Tony Ngassi
- 8:55pm
- Tony Ngassi
- not yet
- Rriiver Nyile
- 8:55pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- I guess we move on to tony now then
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:55pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- yeah
- Rriiver Nyile
- 8:55pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- sense he isnt here yet
- Tony Ngassi
- 8:55pm
- Tony Ngassi
- hmm
- if Genesect and Lele end up getting banned
- I honestly see the meta slowing down a ton
- and like others mentioned
- we'd get more fat teams
- aka stall and fat balance
- which I don't really like as much
- cuz those games are just not that fun to watch
- and its just about hard countering as much as you can which just leads to matchup issues that we often say in ORAS
- though I didnt play ORAS at all, I watched tour games and I most of them not pleasurable to watch
- so hopefully we avoid that
- but I dont think taht will be case
- I think thats most of what I expect
- oh
- and marshadow is gonna last like 5 days in OU before it gets banend
- shame :(
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 8:58pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Better abuse it once it drops
- Tony Ngassi
- 8:59pm
- Tony Ngassi
- cuz good ghost types are pretty lacking in OU

- Tony Ngassi

- cuz starbucks aint open forever
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:02pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Np
- Bruh
- How much do you spend at starbucka
- *starbucks
- Zamrock In
- 9:03pm
- Zamrock In
- $8
- worth every penny
- anyways.
- im honestly not sure what to expect
- if you are talking in terms of tier shifting
- it'll depend on what gets suspected and seeing if gamefreak would benefit us w/ more megas than they currently do right now
- ok i saw marshadow was talked about already
- that im not evevn if it'll go or not
- but it'll effect the meta heavility because of it's godlike offensive typing + it can steal away ur SD or w/e if something tries setting up
- cuzz of it's new move
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:06pm
- Tony Ngassi
- Spectral Thief
- Zamrock In
- 9:06pm
- Zamrock In
- i feel like there is nothing else to really expect bar that mon because after just playign the tier for about a month
- it already seems like it's settled and we wont get some godlike sets until SPL comes around to introduce new broken shit
- rn i just see the tier following just fine as of now with the tapus, UBs, and the other limited toys that we were provided with to make the tier balance itself out
- not the most creative response but that is how i see things
- ill pass it to whoever is next
- i gotta dip

- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:20pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- 5. What do you think about oras ou now that sumo ou is here
- Ricardo Ferreira

- Ricardo Ferreira
- Easier for people to read after
- Rriiver Nyile

- I am glad keldeo isnt spamming focus blast and scald
- Everywhere
- I am glad I dont have to fret about bisharps counters anymore
- I am glad clefable isnt around
- Haha.
- Done.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:22pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Tony do you have opinion on oras?
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:22pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Go Ricardo
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:22pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Wait
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:22pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Oh ok
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:22pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- If Tony has an opinion it's going to be a short one
- Let him go first
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:23pm
- Tony Ngassi
- yeah
- my opinion of ORAS from just watching it, seemed like fat balance vs balance most of the time
- at least thats all I saw in tour games
- I dont really know much else since I didnt play it but that doesnt seem fun to me
- and I prefer SM as of right now
- thats all I got
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:24pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Ok
- Well
- Fuck oras
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:24pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- 😂😂
- 🙌🙌🙌
- Im so dead
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:25pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- oras had so much broken shit but that couldn't be banned for a certain reason
- t wave
- scald
- clef
- duggy
- voltturn
- pursuit
- all these borked elements of the meta
- most of them couldn't be banned
- zarel and chaos are against banning moves
- so that option was out the window
- the meta was super luck based with t wave and scald on every team
- you had broken core like keldeo + pursuit but you couldn't do anything about it since none of them were broken enough by themselves
- *cores
- voltturn teams were too much for the meta imo
- voltturn + specs latios/band tar/medi
- it was a game of countering
- that only made the meta more matchup reliant
- fucking bp was revived
- people are only dealing with bp now but late oras was full with bp madness
- thanks to me and rriiver lmao
- it was just a bad meta
- stale as fuck
- super luck based
- sm isn't near the level of cancer oras was
- that's not to say i like sm, i don't like sm but it's definitely better than oras in the sense that there is more diversity
- and not nearly as luck based
- anyway
- on with the questions
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:30pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- yea um

- Let's do in order
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:32pm
- Tony Ngassi
- Isaiah Robinson What was busted early sumo but you eventually developed checks and counters to. what are those checks and counters?
- first one
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:33pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Well
- Pheromosa is the first that comes to mind
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:33pm
- Tony Ngassi
- I would say Pheromosa
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:33pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- It's still fucking stupid
- But it's not the monster it once was
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:33pm
- Tony Ngassi
- ^
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:33pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Id say nothing cause i didn't think phermosa still be here lololol
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:33pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- People aren't saying"no pheromosa" in smogtours anymore
- I think we're doing a good job at keeping it in check somehow
- Marowak, venusaur, toxapex, pelipper, Mantine, buzzwole
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:34pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- I dont think venu
- Is reliable
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:35pm
- Tony Ngassi
- Fini can check if you play around P-Jab as well
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:35pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Why not?
- No one runs band anymore
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:35pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Cause it gets constantly u turned on
- With no recovery
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:35pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- It's not like it's taking 30 from u turn
- It has synthesys
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:35pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- It takes still 25 lol
- But u u turn
- Go like lele or tran
- Force it out
- Or go ttar and stop it from healing
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:36pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- You're taking rocks though
- No one uses tar though
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:36pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- I just would not recommend venu
- Assuming u can get em up
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:36pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- There's no sand to fuck it
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:36pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Anyway, only reliable mosa counter is toxapex imo
- Others can get pressured
- By rocks
- or pursuit
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:36pm

- Tony Ngassi
- its anti meta
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:46pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- It be great if it got an extender
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:46pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- We got a lot of fat slow attackers
- It would be broken
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:46pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- That we have been waiting for
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:46pm
- Tony Ngassi
- yeah Marowak under TR
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:46pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- It be actually viable
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:46pm
- Tony Ngassi
- is such a pain in the ass
- to deal wtih
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:46pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- But there are mons that trouble it
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:46pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Yea
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:46pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Marowak is a pain for tr
- It's more reliable than last gen though
- I'd actually consider using it for a tour now
- Next question
- Another jase question
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:48pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Let me scroll
- Yep.
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:48pm
- Tony Ngassi
- I got one
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:48pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Jase Urlea I want to know what you guys think how magenta will develop in the meta in the future
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:48pm
- Tony Ngassi
- Magearna
- right?
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:48pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Yes
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:48pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Ye
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:48pm
- Tony Ngassi
- uhh
- I think if the meta slows that
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:48pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Its less broken then it was early
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:48pm
- Tony Ngassi
- sets like AV and specs will be more ideal
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:48pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- It was so annoying early when no one knew wtf to expect
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:49pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- It's just a bit too slow for shift gear
- A lot of common scarfers can revenge it
- I like av though
- Great pivot with volt
- It also hits hard with 394 sp atk
- Jesus typing
- Good bulk
- Specs is fun but i didn't like using it
- You're going to fall back on it a lot of the time to tank shit it can't
- And fairy steel is kind of meh offensively
- It can put some dents in teams but not the best set
- Av is the best imo
- Next question
- Cement MixerJohnson Ok so I thought I'd ask about banning policy concerning z moves seeing as you guys are looking for questions. If a pokemon is broken with a zmove, but not without it, do you ban the zmove or the pokemon as a whole?
- I like this one
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:52pm
- Tony Ngassi
- well thats somethign that came up today on Policy talk
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:52pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Yeah
- Well
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:52pm
- Tony Ngassi
- pretty much we're trying to figure out if the current tiering philosphy is good enough
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:53pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Z moves are though
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:53pm
- Tony Ngassi
- to account for Z moves
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:53pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Only some of them are broken
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:53pm
- Tony Ngassi
- personally I think a few of them are broken
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:53pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Some are only broken on certain mons
- Some mons are only broken Because of them
- It's a clusterfuck
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:54pm
- Tony Ngassi
- yeah if we do end up having to ban it later, it will be messy cuz its either ban all of them
- or ban certain ones
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:54pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- The best option is a perfect world would just complex ban on the more specific cases
- *in
- But we would never do that
- It would fuck our heads
- And smogon hates complex bans
- They either ban every z move or ban the mon since the z move is just a part of the mon
- Or ban a specific z move if it's broken on everything that gets it
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:55pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Just ban all z moves
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:55pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- I'd like to go with every z move
- Yeah
- It's an unhealthy element if the game imo
- Even the not broken ones are stupid
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:56pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- The bad ones arent used so who cares and the good ones are to much so remove them the simple way to do it is just get rid of em all
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:56pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Like z dd terrakion
- It's not broken
- But stupid
- Kills lando after rocks
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:57pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Cause of
- Z moves
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:57pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Bloom doom tornadus
- Goodbye rotom
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:57pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Alot of bad mons like mence,porygon,terrakion isnt that bad
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:57pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Sandstorm Chomp breaking sand veil again
- Rriiver Nyile
- 9:57pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- But are pretty stupid cause of
- Z moves
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 9:58pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- The most probable solution is banning the mon that is broken with the z move
- I don't think it's the right one though
- But chaos won't allow the ban of a whole mechanic
- Tony Ngassi
- 9:59pm
- Tony Ngassi
- yeah but we'll see how things pan out with discussions on forums
- I think banning all is the best route
- but who knows at this point
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:00pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Everything is possible with this council
- Next question
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:00pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Jason-William Glenister If genesect does indeed get banned with the current suspect test, how will sun and moon OU change as a metagame ? Will specific pokemon or teams themselves be anymore viable than they are currently ? Will we see new niches arise as a result of said suspect in banning gensect ?
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:00pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Wait wait
- Cement
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:00pm
- Ricardo Ferreira

- Tony Ngassi
- 10:03pm
- Tony Ngassi
- hmm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:03pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Zard y will become better if offensive threats keep getting suspected and banned
- Tony Ngassi
- 10:03pm
- Tony Ngassi
- I think Mega Slowbro might see more use if Genesect goes
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:04pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Oh god
- I do think it will be used
- But offensive
- Not cm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:04pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Sableye will become better for reasons adressed before
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:04pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Cause that isnt pulling off a sweep

- Thanos Tigkas Opinions on tapu koko? this dude basically took the place of the other electrics like raikou and thundurus , why do u think this happened?
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:06pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- After we done
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:06pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Hm
- Tony Ngassi

- 10:06pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Answering
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:06pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Yeah, after we're done
- Well
- Raikou was already bad
- Tony Ngassi
- 10:06pm
- Tony Ngassi
- Thundy was nerfed wtih the Twave nerfs, and the amount of psychic terrain around
- like it has a niche
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:06pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- ^
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:06pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Theres no reason to use other electrics over koko
- Tony Ngassi
- 10:06pm
- Tony Ngassi
- but its not as good
- plus Koko hits harder
- cuz its ground
- grounded*
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:06pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- It's also forced to run more fixed coverage now with marowak
- Koko is just koko
- Tony Ngassi
- 10:07pm
- Tony Ngassi
- yeh that as well
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:07pm

- Rriiver Nyile
- Knock off
- Thundy
- Or dark pulse
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:07pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- U turns around weakening shit like marowak
- Tbolt sweeps later
- Taunt for fat
- I have seen z madness with taunt
- Even specs with gleam since fairy is spammable
- Just a great mon
- Hard to find a reason to use other electrics over it
- I guess
- Np thundurus for fat
- That's like the only reason i can find
- But even then you're super constricted for coverage
- Arjun Raju I'd like to discuss Ash Greninja and laugh at the fags that said no one would use it over protean
- Last one
- Tony Ngassi

- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:18pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- yeah i rly liked it too
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:18pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 57.3% was the ORAS vote for ban Metagross.
- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:18pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- good god finally some1 else believes me
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:18pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Which is obviously really high for a pokemon that was actually balanced.
- Jase Urlea
- 10:18pm
- Jase Urlea
- Tbh I'm on the fence now cuz of Ricardo
- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:18pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- that metagross is so suspect worthy
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:19pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Well actually I think it's fine.
- Jase Urlea
- 10:19pm
- Jase Urlea
- I was pro ban
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:19pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I was too.
- Jase Urlea
- 10:19pm
- Jase Urlea
- With genescet
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:19pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Idk about gross right now
- I think 57 is how i feel about gross rn
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:19pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- It was just an example of a pokemon which needed to sit in the metagame for a while longer.
- Jase Urlea
- 10:19pm
- Jase Urlea
- Same with gross
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:19pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- If it becomes better then suspect
- Yeah
- Cris Smith
- 10:19pm

- Thank you guys for the insight I think I'm hoping off. Please don't remove as I want to relook at the convo to see what I should prep for and what now
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:19pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Im in such a weird position
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:20pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- To be honest it's one of the reasons why I'm deliberately trying to hesitate over my views on a lot of pokemon.
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:20pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Where i want a balanced meta
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:20pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Only mon i'd really like to suspect is lele
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:20pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- But not a boring oras like meta
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:20pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Chris
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:20pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I think probably less is more in terms of suspects.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:20pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- We'll be posting this in the thread
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:20pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- and the more things get removed the more stall/balance prevails
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:20pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I mean the only pokemon I've got my eyes on are Genesect, and probably Pheromosa.
- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:20pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- guys , what is ur opinion
- on z-memento + zard x
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:21pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- In terms of banning stuff I mean, and I'm not even that sure on Pheromosa.
- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:21pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- lati z-memento
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:21pm

- That's an interesting set.
- Tony Ngassi
- 10:21pm

- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:21pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- It's pretty sick
- Tony Ngassi
- 10:21pm
- Tony Ngassi
- just curios
- outside of the Latios power
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:21pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Latias doesnt learn
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:21pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- It gives the pokemon you switch in a set up opportunity essentially.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:21pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- I like how zard x can break lando early game and come back to sweep late game

- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:22pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Not just regular healing wish
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:22pm

- Mence is better

- Lando is looking a lot like ADV ttar this gen, in that it supports really well, but can also be one of the best sweepers in the tier.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:25pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Dd lando is disgusting
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:25pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Good example cement
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:25pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Yeah, adv tar is so cool
- I need to play spl adv
- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:25pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- wasnt lando always
- a mon that could do alot of stuff
- if not everything
- Tony Ngassi
- 10:26pm
- Tony Ngassi
- yes
- it has more options now
- wtih Z moves
- and such
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:26pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Not sweeping imo
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:26pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Yeah, the double dance set was never THIS good though.
- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:26pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- i have mixed feelings about z-moves tbh
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:26pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Dd lando was underwhelming in oras
- Now with fly
- It just kills everything not named skarm
- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:26pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- i mean they are good and turn unwinable match ups to "winable"
- i mean
- u land that z-hypnosis
- and u either dent ur opp alot
- or flat out win
- Rriiver Nyile

- Mhm
- Cement MixerJohnson

- I'm assumming you mean z move hyp xurkitree?
- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:27pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- yup
- but on the other hand
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:27pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Yeah that has the potential to be good.
- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:27pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- sometimes , they are soooo unballanced man
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:28pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I legit don't know what to do about z moves lol.
- I'm generally gonna say less is more in terms of bans.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:28pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Cement, who are you on smogon?
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:28pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- So it might not come to banning anything in particular because of zmoves.
- Ricardo Ferreira

- Anyway Lele + Pheromosa is definitely looking to be one of the most dominant cores this gen.
- Ricardo Ferreira

- Ricardo Ferreira
- Yeah
- Thanos Tigkas

- Thanos Tigkas
- if not the most dominant
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:30pm

- Disgusting
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:30pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- You guys said BO was the best playstyle but I think somebody might crack Lele + Mosa HO and own everything.
- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:30pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- i dont think that
- this core is best in ho
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:30pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- One of them will probably be gone by then
- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:30pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- something like BO could utilyze this core cos BO is weak to offense imo
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:30pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Probably.
- I've seen Pheromosa just clean up way too easy because somebody let their tapu fini get a little too low.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:31pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Yeah
- Best cleaner
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:31pm

- 10:33pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- oh yeah
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:33pm

- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:33pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Ie toxapex, venusaur, can all be wrecked by specs lele, or even if that gets banned, you can replace it with hoopa.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:34pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Yeah, Hoopa is way better now
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:34pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Considering it doesn't have that many good switch ins to begin with, it's going to be really obvious.

- Like people were saying BP was fine on the ladder, then WQ won OST with it.
- There was such a long period of time to catch it before.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:40pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Yeah
- Like
- I don't understand why they just keep dry bp and ban everything else
- *they don't
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:41pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- We shouldn't base everything off of ladder but I'd like to see high level ladder replays being taken seriously in suspect threads.
- I'd rather just ban the whole thing.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:41pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- You think it has a chance to be broken even like that?
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:42pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- But yeah I feel like we're trying to preserve something that we really shouldn't, for no real reason.
- Uhhh dry pass maybe not.
- I don't think it's crazy to just get rid of the whole move though.
- In terms of banning simplicity I mean.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:42pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- I don't think it's crazy either
- Yeah, in terms of simplicity it's the best
- It's being dealt with in lower tiers
- Only ou left
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:44pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- It would suck to have OU be the last tier that actually tries to keep it lol.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:44pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Up to the council
- What do you think of this council rick?
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:44pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- just shows the mentality of the council
- if anything
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:44pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I don't have a high opinion of them.
- SAbleye was causing problems for a long time but we only got it banned on literally the last day.
- This meant that stuff which could've gotten suspected in ORAS, didn't.
- I don't mind people disagreeing with me on stuff, but the worrying thing is that they ALL have the same opinion.
- Their sableye susp vote was 6 no ban, 1 abstain.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:45pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Yeah
- Me and rriiver said the same
- That's what happens when you have groups and bandwagons inside the cohncil
- *council
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:46pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- On smaller issues I think Lando I wasn't quickban worthy.
- It probably would've gone eventually, but I would rather vote on it.
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:46pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- i dont think anyone but the council did
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:47pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Me neither
- Dude, i raged so bad
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:48pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I was worried what they were gonna do next.
- Although to be fair suspecting Genesect is a move I agree with.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:48pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- Yeah, it's definitely suspect worthy
- Although i don't want it to go
- I see genesect as oras Clefable
- I know, kind of a weird view
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:49pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I think it's a little too easy to use, good, and a little too hard to face. I mean in terms of how unpredictable it is.
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:49pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- I have that view as well
- genesect being the offensive clefable of sumo
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:50pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- ABr said there could be a knock on effect if we ban stuff, which I can see.
- I mean, uh, other stuff becoming better if we ban Gene.
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:50pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- yea we need sect
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:51pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I think we could stop at banning Gene and Pheromosa, although I'm not 100% sure.
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:51pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- unlikely
- Thanos Tigkas
- 10:51pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- when and when phero and sect bide the dust
- we will have to ban hoopa
- yeah*
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:51pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Which would suck, I don't want that.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:52pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- chain reaction
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:52pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- i dont think hoopa should have banned the first time
- but it is what it is
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:52pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- i'm kind on the fence about oras hoopa
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:52pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I think the end ORAS was an ok compromise.
- All I really wanted was a sab ban and I got it I guess.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:53pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- i think duggy was worse tbh
- like
- abr altaria stall
- that was an example of duggy being cancer without sab
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:53pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Dug is still annoying without Sab. I don't think it's good to the point of being broken though.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:54pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- i think it is
- it's so unhealthy imo
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:54pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I wouldn't mind it being banned tbh, but I had to say I wasn't in favour of a dug ban because otherwise people might blame the trapper and not sab.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:55pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- although i still think sab wasn't THAT bad alone what made me hate it was sab + trapper
- like, i never thought weavile stall was in issue
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:56pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I thought it was still pretty annoying.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:56pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- yeah, sab was super gay but it wasn't overly unhealthy
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:56pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- As you guys know I spammed sab stall on the ladder a lot after hoopa got banned to test if it was broken.
- I think however you build a sab team, as long as it is built well, it's unhealthy to some degree.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:56pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- yeah
- i agree with that
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:57pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I don't even think the team I used was that well built, I just wanted to use something different.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:57pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- it's stall on the ladder
- it doesn't need to be perfect
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:58pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- True.
- Rriiver Nyile
- 10:58pm
- Rriiver Nyile
- Thousand Arrows
- needs to be locked into
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:59pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I agree, or maybe even just zygarde straight up.
- It's not 100% zygarde, but it still sweeps really easily.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 10:59pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- i'm on the fence about that one
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 10:59pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I definitely haven't made up my mind about it.
- I'm kinda more pro ban on literally just Gene and Pheromosa, and then looking into suspects on other stuff, rather than making up my mind about them.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:00pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- yeah
- ban the most cancerous things first
- i think lele is the worst one right now
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:01pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- It's definitely suspect worthy, but I'd like to see if sp def Jirachi, sp def Magearna etc are enough to keep it in check.
- Idk how often specs runs tbolt, but that's the only set which beats Celesteela I thin.
- *think.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:01pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- i've ran that before
- i even see specs shadow ball a lot
- for rachi and gross
- the last slot on specs lele is so flexible imo
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:02pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I feel like giving up hp fire is annoying.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:02pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- yeah, no way
- fire coverage is just too good in ou
- i use lele as my scizor check lol
- that's so stupid to say
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:04pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Those are probably the main suspect mons.
- I thought about Greninja being suspect worthy initially but I think it's fine now.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:05pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- yeah
- the speed tiers are so high
- don't see it being as troubling for offense as it once was
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:06pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Ash Gren is hard walled by Tapu fini.
- I think the life orb protean set loses to Celesteela.
- Thanos Tigkas
- 11:06pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- that will change once we get move tutors
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:06pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- why?
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:06pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- It's actually got concrete switch ins now.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:06pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- we already have gunk shot and low kick
- Thanos Tigkas
- 11:06pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- gunk shot ash gren
- will destroy fini
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:06pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- oh
- hm
- is it worth it?
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:07pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Maybe gunk shot ash gren won't be fun to deal with.
- Probably for the one move.
- I mean for the 3 others you really do want shuriken, dark pulse, hydro pump.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:07pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- non protean greninja is so easy to pivot around
- especially without specs
- yeah
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:07pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- The issue is that if you don't run specs, it's harder to pick up the initial ko.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:07pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- maybe some naive specs bullshit?
- possibilities
- if it even does enough to fini
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:09pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 0 Atk Life Orb Greninja Gunk Shot vs. 248 HP / 196+ Def Tapu Fini: 146-174 (42.5 - 50.7%) -- 2.3% chance to 2HKO
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:09pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- damn
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:09pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- If you want to beat fini you have to run life orb.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:09pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- hm
- it's going to be interesting
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:10pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- The thing is that after the initial KO and battle bond activates, you don't need specs as badly.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:10pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- can't you breed ash gren to get battle bond + gunk?
- i don't know shit about breeding
- yeah, lo is such a bad item though
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:10pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Battle bond gren can't breed.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:11pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- rip
- gunk also hits av tang
- hm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:11pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- True.
- It would be sad to see literally one move added to one of Gren's sets push it over the edge.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:12pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- it happened last gen with only two
- although i heard it was insane in xy
- is that true?
- i started in oras
- don't know shit about older tiers
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:12pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I didn't play too much XY, although I think it was really good.
- Like a lot of people wanted it suspected by the of the gen I think.
- And there was kind of an attitude after it got banned like "It was super broken in ORAS, but it still might've been banworthy in xy".
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:13pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- i heard you had to run calm clef for it on every team
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:14pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Calm clef became really common because of it.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:14pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- yeah
- i always hated it though
- i started using bold as soon as medi blew up
- Thanos Tigkas
- 11:14pm
- Thanos Tigkas
- Opinions on magearna
- ?
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:14pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Yeah calm clef was pressured really easily by lando.
- I think magearna is actually really good.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:14pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- everyone was crying about medi when they lost with calm clef
- we talked about it
- didn't you see?
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:15pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- You've got like bulky pivot sets, and shift gear is /ok/.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:15pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- i love av
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:15pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- You probably want a z move with it to get it started though.
- I mean with the shift gear sweeper set.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:15pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- i always use shift gear z move
- yeah
- just nuke something
- i was using shuca at the beginning
- but then found out about z moves
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:16pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I think leftovers bulky pivot set could be ok.
- Although it might not be better than AV.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:17pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- i like av since it also helps with shit like greninja
- haven't tried lefites though so i might be wrong
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:17pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I haven't tested it out either.
- It looks like it's currently being used mostly vs special attackers so I'm kinda just speculating.
- AV's probably the more solid option, just the lack of recovery irritates me a little.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:19pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- yeah, doesn't it get pain split?
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:19pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- Oh yeah it does.
- Maybe it could work like rotom-w then?
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:19pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- does that work with av?
- yeah
- i was just thinking that
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:20pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- I don't think pain split works with av.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:20pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
- damn
- rip
- that whole rotom thing seems interesting though
- Cement MixerJohnson
- 11:21pm
- Cement MixerJohnson
- How much does it need all 4 attacking moves anyway?
- PResumably it wants both stabs and volt switch on the bulky set.
- Ricardo Ferreira
- 11:22pm
- Ricardo Ferreira
