Oh no, Volcarona definitely should not have been saved. It's just the latest casualty. That was me pointing out that banning Volcarona is an admission that the mechanic is toxic. Too many people getting steamrolled by the (mis)matchups it creates.

No, Volcarona. We all know it was banned because Tera.

Volcarona was an incredibly useful mon defensively. I take it this ban as people admitting that Tera is unhealthy. Pity we can't get action on the elephant in the room.

Your Warriors posts are insane. There’s no need for “apologeticness” regarding the most successful dynasty of the past decade. The proof is in the hardware. Yes, Steph on the court has declined more than Draymond. Steph has a lot further to fall. Went from being top 2-3 player in the league...

The warriors criticism is insane. They have 4 championships in 8 years. They are by far the most successful franchise of the past decade. Draymond is not an on-court liability. On the contrary; he is still one of the best defenders in the NBA. The warriors problem is they have financially...

No way. Green is still a good player. Problem is the warriors don’t have anyone else that can create their own offense. It showed in the warriors record vs. top records in the league. They either need to accept the rebuild, developing their young core players (let them play more, championship...

I feel bad for Steph. It’s Steph and the bums. He has no help out there. Klay is washed.

The support no longer exists because it drove many that dislike it away. They no longer play the meta.

This is a cool team and congrats on the peak. Hot take on Bulkarona EV spread: Swap HP & Def 104 HP / 252 Def / 152 Spe I think Volcarona is a rare case of bucking conventional EV wisdom. Volcarona has decent base HP and SpDef but very poor phys Def. Swapping them nets about 10% more...

Honestly this team is pretty good. About as good as one can get for rain. Few changes: Pelipper Knock Off > Hurricane or Surf. Knock off hits Blissey which helps out Kingdra and Zapdos. I would switch to Tera Steel and a Specially Defensive Spread (248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpDef, Sassy) for...

This guy gets it. Solarblade Ceruledge cleaves through fat. I know the calcs because I’ve used the mon extensively. You drop Poltergeist though. Shadow Sneak is vital. Priority sweeping seems to have fallen out of favor this Gen and I’m not sure why. Revenge killing can only be done...

Sash? Bro. Ceruledge is not frail. Y’all not using it right. It’s a priority sweeper and wall breaker. Damn near 6-0s stall. Pult and Wake get wrecked by Shadow Sneak and you can Tera out of the others while healing up with Bitter Blade.

Garganacl is toxic. It shouldn’t be allowed. To answer your question: Join the movement. This mon slaps. Hard af to wall but watch out for Gouging Fire. Importable

Ahhh. Gen 9 is a banger. Load up 5 shitmons + Kingambit and just win!

It should be noted that Aqua Cutter > Razor Shell on Sammy. It’s almost as powerful, but gets 100% accuracy, double the PP, high crit rate, and is non-contact. No RH damage or burn / static cheese… Banded Sammy is based. The unwallable monster!
