:zonger: *Glances at Don’s post on council banning Magic Bounce because it’s broken on Stall* *Glances at ladder peak* :worrywhirl: Yeah. That’s a good call, guys. Once Drought got banned, Stall was free to feast. I decided to do a fresh account ladder after it was implemented and when Inh...

After playing around with this meta for a bit, it’s quite fun, but I would say Stealth Rock and Court Change with rock weak mons and Taunt to stop hazard removal are THE primo strat. Using anything else seems subpar in comparison, as you can just switch your mons around to die, which also...

I’ve played with Power Trip Ting-Lu and yeah, it can auto-win a lot of teams that aren’t equipped to deal with it. It’s very easy to snowball with it, especially with screens support. Like you said, being Prankster immune is great, since a lot of builds put Taunt and Encore on their Prankster...

Enough time has passed. Let’s talk about THAT stall team. https://pokepast.es/f9d03931a72208c3 Obviously, this meta is very offense and balance heavy, as there are no shortage of stall breaking tools. For this reason, building full stall and covering everything defensively is rather...

How do we go about getting a permanent ladder for this meta? It’s one of my favorites, and fairly intuitive to team build for since the only difference from OU is the ability to add surprise moves.

I love this meta. Sadly the ladder isn't very active at the moment. I've been hopping on for suspect laddering off and on the past few days and have only had a scant few battles. I can see getting to 25 being difficult. In theory, Ursaluna seems managable enough. Between being generally slow and...

I was reading up on Inverse, having had the idea of a backwards type chart myself. Has anyone played much of this meta? If so, how did you like it? Is it too centralized around the dominate types? I can see why Normal, Ice, Bug, Rock and Grass rule the roost in an inverted type chart. It’s a...

If you wanted to compress ExtremeSpeed + pivot around Ursaluna’s defensive counters on a band set, so it can scout and run anti-HO, you could also inherit from Deoxys-S. It has access to Teleport, which is cool as it won’t take Rocky Helmet damage. Also, you get access to Knock Off with such a...

I see, the original post made it seem like you got two. Ok thanks.

Sorry, I’m having trouble formating my fusions to get both their abilities to work. I have the nicknames in, who what should the abilities read? If I type in the donor ability, the poke’s original ability doesn’t seem to function. How’s it supposed to look?

Hot diggity, with Triple Arrows yeeted, Trick Room is viable! I’m the resident TR enjoyer, always trying to cook with it in every meta. As DLC is coming up, I’ll show you all the team I came up with. It’s pretty good/fun. TR setting Sturdy Magnezone is a treasure. (RIP Specs Boomburst Armor...

Weird! I cannot explain how my giraffe died to Talonflame. Maybe I missed something, wrong ability or maybe Talonflame had taken damage so it wasn’t priority. Ok, thanks for checking!

I did not think to save one. I suppose we could recreate it easily though.

Glad to see Triple Arrows is banned. Jirachi was ludicrously cheap with that. Given the popularity of Dragon Ascent Talonflame and priority in general, I was rocking Armor Tail Farafarig inside Trick Room (with Boomburst, since banned), but I found Armor Tail did not block Gale Wings priority...

I think this is the Kommo-O set to beat: Kommo-o @ Throat Spray Ability: Bulletproof Tera Type: Fire EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Clangorous Soul - Boomburst - Focus Blast - Flamethrower Reaaaaaaally easy to set up from behind Ninetales’ screens and with a...

I was experimenting with Snow Warning Avalugg to vex rain teams, and it IS monumentally physically bulky, but its lack of sustainability and fighting weakness really let it down. It also wants to hold all of Icy Rock, Light Clay and HDBs, but can only hold one. I have had some success against...

Ah, I see it now. Dang I thought I found the best offensive TR setter + breaker. :D I guess there’s always the Iron Valliant + Booster Energy set, but it’s one and done. Not ideal. :/

I’ve been experimenting on the builder and this meta is really fun! It’s kinda like Balanced Hackmons except there’s a bit more structure and not everything is maxed out bulk. The ladder does take a minute to find games though. Even with all the potent offensive threats, stall seems pretty...

Hoopa-U sits in a really awkward speed tier. Base 70 is fast enough to break walls, minus Great Tusk, but Stall always runs some Dark Tera types and Fairy types to vex Kingambit and Stored Power mons (often Dondozo), which makes Hoopa’s breaking capabilities difficult despite its massive...

This replay is a thing of beauty. The stall team looks so in control of the game, until it isn’t. It gave me “I’m not trapped in here with you - you’re trapped in here with me” vibes. On the subject of Kingambit’s versatility, I was experimenting with Mental Herb to vex would be Encore checks...
