I really like this take on Aboma lead offense. Think it has a good mix of conventional offensive strategies and some new school technology. Wouldn’t suggest many changes, and certainly nothing personnel wise. I do find Rock Slide on Scarf Chomp to get diminished returns on a team like this...

Ngl I really like the tier right now and I don’t see a huge reason to change a ton immediately. There are some Pokemon that are borderline issues like Weavile, Dragapult, and Tapu Lele, but I think they all are kept in check enough by most archetypes or their natural barriers. Maybe others feel...

The way I personally see it and the way it has been enforced across tiering (both firsthand under me as I have been a tier leader and beforehand) is this: a non-Pokemon element must break more than one Pokemon to be considered for tiering action. We tier Pokemon first and anything else second...

What? Please reread if that’s your takeaway. Tiering policy always has been that you cannot look at a non-Pokemon element if it only breaks one Pokemon — you look at the Pokemon. Multiple instances makes it a more open discussion. Hence why I said it can’t only be Reuniclus. What I said is...

I do not think that Magic Guard should be off the table forever, but I do think the onus would be more than just Reuniclus for it to be discussed. Maybe if Alakazam were to garner more attention, for example, but I don’t think that’s where we are right now.

Something I want to point out that doesn’t get enough discussion: Volcarona’s set is near impossible to decipher from team preview, which is a quality that is not shared by other Pokemon with its power level. You can hypothesize “oh it’s probably not Modest Fire Blast 3A on a balance”, but...

-4, PSPL. Can you do Sunday before ST

Zama and Pult outrun and KO, Ting Lu trades about half health and keeps it low no matter what with SR if it’s not Boots, Gambit wins 1v1, and GKing chews 2 + has Tera Water + pivots into faster Pkmn. I do think Kyurem is pretty dumb, but that team is better into it than most.

-4, can you play Sunday night for SS tour?

Gliscor is near the peak of its powers right now. SD is one of the best win conditions, utility offers a lot still, and even pivot sets work well. Being able to provide a Ground immunity, Electric immunity, status soaker, and hazard immunity (negates SR w/ PHeal + ignores Spikes) in one slot is...
