A lot of old staples returning means we're in kind of a weird phase of BH where a lot of teams and movesets we develop now are going to be heavily obsolete. Meanwhile, a lot of Gen VII teams that are not salvageable have the potential to be ported over with some modifications. However, the...

Rereading, I'm not 100% sure where I was going with the last couple of posts on Shed. I know what I was wanting to say, but I flopped that hard. Derp. I think perception is a big deal because people do not always vote rationally (remember people with reqs were voting Do Not Ban on suspects...

Look at it this way. The "core" players who are playing a ton probably have more experience and all, but the more casual players will make the majority of the vote. You know, the ones we never hear from in discussions but show up in droves having made reqs when the test comes along. We've...

Loss of Giratina, Gengar, and Moldy Pursuit, along with some other more niche options, really does sting when it comes to Shedinja. Still, I'd be a little hesitant to go after it though less because of any gameplay and more because of general mindset of the population. Has it changed enough...

I'm kinda bouncing around on things and trying to find a playstyle I wanna pursue this generation. Haven't really sunk my teeth into it well yet since... holidays + retail. But some interesting things I've tooled around with are below. This is also early starting point investigations, so bear...

I'm going to assume these function the same, but is it possible to gen perma Dynamax/Gigantamax mons? What about Aegilash-Blade? Can it start a battle in Blade form or will it only ever be in Shield form? Does normal Darmanitan-Zen function like Galarian?

Rhyperior is not weak to Rock. It's weak to Ground. Anyway, sounds like, for the moment, we might need to go back in time and call upon one of the powerful mons from Gen V: Eviolite Rhydon. Granted, it can't spam Prankster Earthquakes these days, but that thing is still pretty darn bulky...

Don't forget Stealth Rock, especially on Darm and Goli. And, at the moment, Zacian seems about as physically flexible as MMX, give or take, so they can easily run multiple or, at the very least, you're taking a risk switching in any wall against an unknown moveset. Luckily Zacian's Special...

OM! on Darm-Z, can't Zacian just use Fishous Rend to bypass? I mean, it's a specific move to check it, but it's no different than the "Fire Blast on Garchomp for Skarmory" deal.

I've tooled around a little bit with some silly stuff on the meta so far, mainly spamming a bad 6 Banded Intrepid Sword Zacian team because I am everything that is wrong with the world. I don't see reason to take things too seriously until the coding's all done and we're certain whether the...

Just finished the game itself (or main story at least). Mostly agree with the ban list change except Ability Clause removal. Should go to one if kept, otherwise we're just going to have to bring back the ability spam teams again. Especially if Poison Heal is still around (didn't run into it...

Historically, AFAIK, all previous Gen OM ladders were replaced as soon as the new Gen was implemented (and in some cases, like V to VI, we had a weird blend of gens mid-implementation). Some other servers may keep Gen VII BH as a ladder or challenge format.

I'm not going to spoil myself on what's exactly in the Galar dex (and please spoiler tag that stuff), but species clause is a good one to discuss regardless. I also thought Flint mentioned something about switching Ability clause from two instances to a single instance? Invesitgating how...

OM! Mixed up on Necro there, yeah, though I've not seen any Ultra Necro + Dusk/Dawn in a long time and I can't think of a time I saw a decent or better team with Dusk + Dawn. Either way, Ultra + Dusk/Dawn still can make a trade to Ultra + Solga/Lunala without suffering a whole lot, if at all...

I'll try to tackle this. No promises I'll hit everything or be 100% correct on everything I say or I'll nail what you're looking for. The biggest "legit" playstyle impacted by species clause is double Imposter, since it limits a player to only one Eviolite Imposter. However, they can still...

Vote: Species Clause Of the three options, its the one I'm in most favor of, and have been since X/Y. It is also the only option that could reasonably be continued into Gen VIII and therefore actually retain relevance to BH. There's no Other votes that I could get behind that would also...

We already tried! ...in all seriousness, if you want to go through that angle you have about a month and a half to pick one thing, or a few related things, that are banned, make a post explaining why you think it should be unbanned, rally sufficient support to get to a vote, get a suspect...

If you're only using O.Wing as STAB, why not use Mega-Pidgeot? Does this set need Arceus' extra bulk and fewer weaknesses that much that MPidgeot's extra power doesn't compensate?

IMO: The reason drum's so strong despite the drawbacks is that the opponent has an incredibly narrow window to react to it safely. If they have the wrong mon out using the wrong move, or faster pivot/manual switch at the wrong time, Belly Drum's pretty much a guaranteed KO thanks to moldy...

Eh, I'll share a few. I'm pretty much done playing all serious this gen and mostly playing for kicks and giggles until Gen VIII, so no need to hide anything. Xerneas @ Toxic Orb Ability: Poison Heal EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Moonblast -...
