    Project OU Underdog

    I like that shaymin is also faster than defensive Lando T, has a bit more bite to it with earth power and seed flare, and can leech seed, making almost SG magearna impossible to beat it. This is a pretty darn good set.

    You've got a good argument, but the amount of situation between garde and kabutops is quite different. Kabutops can't do jack without rain up, usually needs a swords dance, and most likely will have a one time Z move. and even still, it's hard pressed by Toxapex, Ferrothorn, etc. Gardevoir IS a...

    I'm not saying that Alakazam doesn't get terrain boosted Psychic lol. Of course not. I meant to say, Alakazam doesn't have access to Psyshock/Psychic WHILE ALSO having Fairy-type Hyper voice, and that is very significant because fairy/psychic is good coverage. In Gardevoir's case, having both...

    There are a couple of reasons we're forgetting, especially because it's been nerfed. The original draw to Garde is Hyper voice, which does ~38% more than Tapu Lele's raw Moonblast. Alone, the power nuking competition will go to a lot of other Pokemon, and Alakazam is indeed stronger. But Mega...

    to be honest I realized you're right because they have they exact same learnset lmao. but the differences are: 1 hyper voice 2 higher special attack stat, allowing it to score some better kills on cusp pokemon like Celesteela and Chansey if not running a boosting item 3 marginally higher speed...

    Imo I think the newest Megas are really good. I didn't think about their bad matchups until this post, but I've seen them do pretty good things so far. Nominating: Mega-Gardevoir ---> A- Reason: Psychic Terrain Support really really really helps it. With it on, it scores OHKOs on Toxapex...

    Announcement np: SM OU Suspect Process, Round 4 - The Robots - Metagrossite BANNED

    Finally! A suspect test for this Brokemon! I believe that Megagross is too strong for OU due to its overall superiority in almost every department, while having no significant weakness. But first, I will take a look back at the previous gen to justify that it was worth of OU last gen. Last...

    tbh if you let a Xern actually get a Geomancy up without touching it, you're gonna lose a Pokemon. Flat out. That's #1. #2, you don't switch a Solgaleo into a Xern that has set up, that makes no sense. You switch it into a Xern as soon as you see a Xern on the opponents side, so if it does set...

    Resource SM Ubers Viability Ranking Thread (Final SM Update - #479)

    Nominating Xerneas S--> A+. I find that Xerneas this gen has AT LEAST 3 new threats to deal with, Magearna, Solgaleo, and Lunala, which make its run for the classic GeoXern to be much less effective. Magearna can steal stat boosts on top of that it has immense bulk, Solgaleo is NEVER ko'd by a...

    May i make a thread on Trevenant? There used to be a thread on Trevenant, but it was removed. Anyhow, the thread that DID exist didn't do trevenant justice. Trevenant has a very interesting niche, having one of the best defensive typing against rapid spinners, namely excadrill. It may have...
