    I think Gambit is the best mon in the tier and there's zero competition for it's role tbh. Yeah there other dark types but they form a good dark spam core with Gambit instead of competing with it. As for Gliscor and Tusk they kinda compete with each other (and also Ting Lu) cuz they're both...

    Bax - 4, This is probably broken but I want to see how it fares without Alolan ninetales Manaphy - 2, I don't find it too overbearing probably due to the extremely offensive nature of the meta thanks to the next mon completely destroying any kind of defensive play styles Ogrepon Hearthflame - 5...

    The best last move for Hearthflame is definitely play rough which smashes dragonite etc thanks to mold breaker bypassing multiscale. Moltres and other bulky fires just lose if it teras as they can't really damage it and get 2hkoed after setup. The only answers so far to me seem like revenge...

    Veil isn't broken by itself but Alolan Ninetales using it is too broken. That mon is bulky and fast and can get off a veil twice easily in most games and isn't a complete sitting duck with encore and hypnosis. Bax + A-tales is definitely broken but I think A-tales should be banned first because...

    Volc - 4, it's not unbeatable just annoying. Zama C - 1, too broken with tera and much better than the hero form due to extra bulk + steel type Urshifu RS - 2, SD set too broken and tera water banded is disgusting as well Palafin - 1, Why's this even on the survey? It was one of the earliest...

    Pls GF, give gambit knock so that it can finally be banned. Can't believe it survived the suspect and continues to make the meta worse!

    I agree that Moltres should rise but it actually doesn't get defog this gen so that's not a point in it's favour. It'd be used a lot more if it did since it reliably beats Ghold

    Kingambit is extremely potent and imo deserves to be looked at down the line. It's actually quite easy to set up to +2 with gambit thanks to it's bulk and defensive typing and the switches it forces. The closest thing to a counter is Dondozo which only fits on stall and can still lose to Tera...

    I don't know what the exact solution is but something needs to be done about these screens teams dominating the ladder. Too many mons become way too overpowered with screens including Mag, Sneasler, Pao, Volc, the Zamas basically everything on radar I guess. Mage and Pao need to be banned...

    Sun is cracked currently b/w Flutter mane, Great Tusk and Roaring moon. Scorvillain is a nice cleaner and breaker but opposing flutter mane always outspeeds unfortunately. I built a sun team which I've used to decent success on the ladder and ou room tours https://pokepast.es/d292c1cd1c3fd54e...

    https://pokepast.es/4e53f7624d79ad08 Fun rain team I made. Iron bundle is super clutch outspeeding all the base 135s and has good physical bulk to boot. I've gotten a few shell smash Drednaw sweeps too. Any suggestions for Kilowattrel replacement appreciated, it doesn't pull it's weight...

    I got pretty high up in the early crown tundra meta with a glare spam Zygarde + specs hex Spect. Though both of them are broken as shit, that team was so fun to use!

    Volcarona is really good right now between it's three sets (3 attacks, 2 attacks roost and safeguard) with only Heatran countering all of them. No Dugtrio and Golem-A means there's no way to trap Heatran unfortunately, right? No wrong! I've been using this Magnezone set which can trap tran...

    I got SD Virizion with CC, stone edge and leaf storm a few times, think leaf blade would be better always over leaf storm on SD sets. Got some SD sets with air slash and dual stab as well which might be ok for max air stream but stone edge is almost always the superior option imo.
