Grumpig's only ""niche"" would probably be a specially defensive thick fat set, and as GenZeon said above me we have much better psychic types. It's worth mentioning however that for the second grumpig set, and any other gluttony mons, you should run aguav berry (or any similar berries like figy...

Pikachu @ Light Ball Ability: Static EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Hasty Nature - Thunderbolt - Surf - Extreme Speed - Hidden Power [Grass] (you replied to the wrong post, but yours beats mine anyway)

Lampent @ Eviolite Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Calm Mind - Shadow Ball - Energy Ball - Flamethrower

Merry Christmas LordST, albeit a late one. Here's your articuno team that you requested. So basically, I felt that hazard control was necessary with Articuno, so I slapped Hitmonchan onto the team, who also beats fire types like Pyroar and rock types in virtue of its typing. Defensive...

Robert Alfons' Toxic Protect Mudsdale is more viable imo. CB Mudsdale would be much more effective without so many ground resistant/immune pokemon which makes mudsdale sorta prediction heavy. Payback sounds good on paper but heavy slam hits a lot of things harder as a neutral hit, which eases...

Just thought I'd address this, still wanna save my noms till after tier shift. It's clear that Skuntank and Mesprit define the meta, but I wouldn't say they're leagues ahead of everything else (like archeops). However, at the same time, I'd say Jynx and Carracosta are better than the rest of A+...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's been over 72 hours since the kommo-o (z crystal) and scolipede bans. Why isn't there an update, if only to unrank the previously banned mons? Though since the bans, Haxorus and Mega Altaria should get rises imo. Haxorus no longer faces competition from Kommo-o...

When's the ubers vr gonna come out?

I've never used roserade before, so I can't comment on how it works in practice (especially since you didn't post any replays like you should've). However, is this the meta where Roserade deserves a place on the vr? Blacephalon's a big threat, spike spam is weakened by the influx of defoggers...

if a necrozma uses a physical photon geyser whilst burned will its damage output be reduced?

In case you haven't found out, Poipole is just a pure poison type so it only resists energy ball (and moonblast for that matter) by 0.5x, not 0.25x if it was a Poison/Dragon type. Also due to the fact it's not a Poison/Dragon type, it's pretty much an unmon so no point in discussing it.

Shieldon @ Eviolite Ability: Soundproof EVs: 252 HP / 172 SpD / 84 Spe Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Toxic - Protect - Rest - Flash Cannon

From what it looks like, RU has a lot more options for hazard control that it'll gladly take. Some of these could be taken from NU; for example Rotom-C (which was decent before cause of its typing) and Sigilyph (which has a niche as a magic guard defogger). With better hazard control, there's...

Lycanroc is midday lycanroc, Lycanroc 1 is midnight lycanroc and lycanroc 2 is lycanroc dusk. For the record, I seriously doubt with tough claws and edgequake that lycanroc dusk will drop here, or stay here for that matter. The boost given by tough claws is significant to doing stuff like...

I'm guessing no one wants to touch this with a barge pole? Pyukumuku now gets block. Coupled with being the only viable unaware mon on stall builds, and the fact that it only needed three of its moves (Soak, Recover, Toxic) , block is legit on it. It deals with Pokemon that try to double...

Wishiwashi: C --> C+ It is clear that wishiwashi has some of the best stats in the PU tier. It has the single strongest special attack stat along with great bulk and a good defensive typing in pure water. Its mediocre HP is buffed up by its amazing 130/135 defences and max hp investment, which...

Zebstrika: C -> C+ Zebstrika on paper is just a weaker manectric, which is only B- itself. What sets Zebstrika apart that puts it above the other electric types is that its unique 116 speed tier puts it above fast threats like floatzel, archeops, lycanroc and a couple of others, and its...

Right, I want to quickly talk about, quite possibly, one of my favourite mons in the tier rn. Alolan Exeggutor! Exeggutor-Alola @ Dragonium Z Ability: Frisk EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA Quiet Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe - Draco Meteor - Trick Room - Energy Ball - Flamethrower...
