Very interesting complex nerf to Kingambit that Smogon is trying out, by banning literally every other pokemon in the tier he wont be able to get his boost from his ability.

Maybe not ban Lugia. I dare you to make a usable set with it.

A decent team that got me to rank 2 in a couple of hours: https://pokepast.es/9ed3d4e90faaabc9

Gen 9 BH is such a beautiful mess of a metagame and i love it! Terastalize is the perfect defensive utility to combat all the crazy new moves and abilities or potential "nuke" to deal with defensive counterplay. That being said, moody and gorilla tactics should definitely go for a more...

Having such a blast playing Inheritance. There are just too many unique and interesting sets and I see this thread is quite outdated so thought I may share some of my sets: Pangoro (Garchomp) @ Life Orb Ability: Mold Breaker EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Earthquake - Ice Punch...

Been a long time and the metagame feels stale and repetitive, so i'm submitting a team: Description: Balance - offense with pheal, magic bounce and regen. Paste: https://pokepast.es/7280fb54998bd0b2 Weaknesses: - Specs Dragon's Maw Eternatus - Primordial sea Zama-C with nuzzle, fish rend and...

After playing for some time, here are some noteworthy things: Knock off gives you the impression you lose that ability for the game, just like with an item, but that's not the case. Weather and type immunity abilities are too prominent, making stall way too strong without drawbacks... Some...

Thought I might give a reply as a daily lobby grinder since there is not much being said and quite a lot of sets being overlocked: Eternatus @ Scope Lens Ability: Teravolt / sniper EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Focus Energy - Draco Meteor...

+1 252+ Atk Zacian-Crowned Precipice Blades vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Fur Coat Reshiram: 192-226 (47.5 - 55.9%) -- 80.1% chance to 2HKO Honestly the dragon type does it no good either. Reshiram was good as FC in the Galarian darm zen meta because it had 10 less base attack. Volcanion is just a...

A turn too late would actually be a misplay, unless you don't have anything to hit it hard with or any pivot moves on neither of your mons. You would have to stay in on imprison with another mon then switch into zama-C on anchor shot to lose....? Regardless, imprison Zacian with taunt beats my...

Lets do some math; assuming worst case with Adamant Zacian - C + V-create, zacian gets a jump start and uses V-create on your zamazenta switchin: +1 252+ Atk Zacian-Crowned V-create vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Fur Coat Zamazenta-Crowned: 220-260 (56.7 - 67%) Lets assume you do a max damage roll...

Suicune and doublade are also very effective checks and extremely good FC mons in general using moves like scald and will o wisp to cripple zacian which really suffers more than ever from the 4 move syndrome, they can even run hazard themselves or court change to negate zacians progress...

I disagree, bulky mons doesn't benefit all that much from running nuzzle, you rather see it on regenvest sets or offensive mons: Palkia @ Lustrous Orb Ability: Adaptability EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Hasty Nature - Nuzzle - Fishious Rend - Dragon Energy -...

It is extremely frail and limited after the Bolt beak ban. Deoxys D had its use to set up hazards where a metagame was dominated by Shell smash and focus sash, gen 8 BH is quite different. Only decent Regileki set imo would look like this: Regieleki @ Focus Sash Ability: No Guard EVs: 252 HP /...

First of all I don't see why you would run sash on Cramorant as it is able to live every hit known to man: 252+ SpA Xerneas Volt Switch vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Cramorant-Gorging: 252-300 (73.2 - 87.2%) +1 252 Atk Zacian-Crowned Glacial Lance vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Cramorant-Gorging: 293-345 (85.1 -...

I go by what I see in the current metagame and the team you provided is not one of them. I clearly hit a softspot here. It is not a baton pass team between every member as you can see. The main goal of this team is to punish and beat the regular prankster haze pokemons with magic bounce Yveltal...

Most of you are probably very familiar with the classic Belly drum + final gambit type of hyper offensive team, but I want to address a different type of HO that I haven't seen discussed before, which consists of imprison + baton pass. Example team: Yveltal @ Protective Pads Ability: Magic...

Giratina @ Griseous Orb / leftover / safety goggles Ability: Fur Coat EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD Sassy Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Spectral Thief - Core Enforcer - Milk Drink - Parting Shot/stealth rocks/baton pass/ filler Zamazenta-Crowned @ Leftovers / Rocky helmet Ability...

I have played with and faced multiple of those sets, but that calyrex set might be the strongest thus far. They have a very niche role and can easily get shut down by status (scald, will o wisp), core enforcer and fur coat mons. Knock off is also a pain as the power creep is real and most of the...

https://pokepast.es/5eb51117e755ab85 You have 2 different Ho-oh sets (probably more), then there is the obvious soundproof which isn't really competitively viable, furthermore there is also poison heal lugia with baneful bunker who can easily live a few hits and stop the metronome momentum also...
