I agree with some of the points above. I've played ice for years now(since XY) this is probably the worst position the type's ever been in relative to competition. At its worst over the years you had to deal with maybe one or two heliocentric threats(scizor/m-sciz, magearna, terrakion, etc...)...

Alolatails and Darm are the big losses, everything else has a replacement. Despite the snow buff, until we get alolatails back I don't think snow is going to be the primary mode for a lot of effective ice teams. This reminds me a lot of gen 6 ice where you ran mons like frosslass and avalugg to...

What’s up guys I’m back(just like ice). I’m so hype for ice this gen. Viable slush rushers, Steel+Fighting+Fire nerf until terrak gets back, Darm+Dynamax Kyub+Rime as wall breakers, Ava+Alolatails+Wider veil allocation, Gigantamax Lapras. This is the first time in all of my years as an ice main...

Hey guys! I'm wondering what specific attributes of a mon contributes to it being "ban-worthy". At what point do we differentiate between counterplay and over-centralization.

Whats up I'm back people and I disagree with rotom going to C Like smub said, even before defog rotom was B because of its ability to be a bulky pivot with volt switch, hand out status, offer some item control if you run scarf or specs, and most importantly check scizor if evd correctly. Defog...

For the calc is that 52 special attack? Probably a typo but just making sure it’s not a miscalc.

Hmm I’m mainly wondering why mega manetric rose to B on electric; Because more mons get defog so electric is less constricted for team comp?

Also if medi has psychic surge then it can’t run its signature fake out plus bp combo. Maybe download could be better?

Icicle crash is also an option instead of iron head because alolash can still hit most of Fairy super effectively while being able to pressure mandi and zap(although kyurem usually baits them in bluffing scarf and secures the ohko). Scarf mamo is good on a different type of team than the one I...

On a different note for all of my ice users out there I got some cool sets for you. Sandslash-Alola @ Life Orb or Chopple berry Ability: Slush Rush EVs: 252 Speed / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Jolly Nature - Rapid Spin - Earthquake - Iron Head - Stealth Rock And Kyurem-Black @ Fightinium Z Ability...

Balance water always revenges with scarf gren no matter the kart set but you’re right about azu being setup fodder for non choiced variants of kart. Hp fire Duggy is an option(usually I would say that is an unhealthy adaptation but we already have sludge wave for bulu popping up so mixed isn’t...

Looking back at a lot of the past early sumo bans it seems like the kart ban was mainly because of the dominance of mag+gross+kart steel. Kart v ground is the mu that was the most questionable given water has tons of options with the rising popularity of sap sipper azu as well as kingdra being...

I also am wondering wether or not we might see a suspect or two for mons like zygarde 10% and darkrai and possibly dawn wings necrozma.

Dragon Hard check Kommo-o @ Kommonium Z Ability: Bulletproof EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Close Combat - Clanging Scales - Flamethrower - Flash Cannon Bullet proof gives kommo-o an immunity to gyro ball and coupled with komm-o’s respectable 125 base defense kommo-o...

Normal: Smeargle C==>B In comparison to the other C ranked mons(bewear and snorlax) smeargle is undoubtedly more useful for normal thanks to its insane support movepull. Since VR is all about comparison, in terms of viability on normal smeargle is closer to Mega Pidgeot and meloetta than the...

What mu’s does muk turn in darks favor that other viable dark mons don’t already? Greninja is invaluable for the dragon steel and fairy mu depending on the set and sabelye is great for most neutral mu’s as a spin blocker and hazard blocker as well as the fighting mu being notoriously harder to...

Muk is not always useful as the spdef tank especially vs epower nido/lando it’s so easily chipped by switching in without reliable recovery and to be honest muk usually can only secure one kill if that in the fairy mu Klefki can setup spikes and screens(which btw is why mandibuzz is not...

Let’s do one for dark I guess Alolan Muk S==>A In comparison to greninja, a mon who is essential to both balance and offense, and sabelye, a mon essential to balance, Alolan Muk is not special in what it can do for dark. As a fairy check it’s dark pursuit stab is resisted by everything except...

Aaa is really cool, honestly I think the potential for innovation is the greatest and even garbage types will have a chance to shine with the right builder(smub psychic terrain jynx lol). Steel will definitely be a huge bring with mons like ferro, Tran, and skarm getting better defensive...
