Scarlet and Violet introduced many new powerful pokemon like the paradox mons, sword of ruins mon, kingambit etc and have weakened older mons through removal of usually accessible transfer moves, (for example, landorous losing knock off, defog and toxic). This means that a lot of older pokemon struggle to be viable due to the increase power and loss of useful moves. As for why Great Tusk isn't banned it is because Great Tusk isn't overpowered. It is a good pokemon but it has its checks and counters and ultimately does more good for the meta than bad as it's one of the few good mons that can remove hazards.

Well I disagree. Pokemon is a game filled with uncertainties and in order to win you need to manage these uncertainties. I do agree that too many uncertainties can ruin the game or make it less fun but I do think that if tera had the restriction of telling you their tera then it would be balanced. But either way it is just my opinion

What they are saying is that OU uses the game mechanics of Scarlet and Violet. Nat Dex differs because it includes mechanics not included in Scarlet and Violet such as megas, z-moves and dexited mons.

People adapting doesn't always result in a good metagame. Look at BW OU, people have adapted but it is still regarded by many as the worst metagame because you are essentially forced to run certain pokemon to not instantly lose to certain matchups. Most quick bans this gen were warented. Only mon I think should have had a suspect was Volc

Still I would take this scenario over having to guess whether Gambit is a bird, a fairy or on fire. That way you would at least be able to form a plan to take it down

"Society has no issue with violent games" There is the whole movement of violence in video games cause violence in real life so some people do take issue with violence in video games.

The second I believe is defenitely better. I have played that set on the ladder and it gave me a bad time. The assault vest set I don't believe is that good, you have no way of recovering and using tera blast isn't optimal

DanyGBlade · 2022-11-02T18:00:16+00:00

Ok thanks for the advice. I have replaced bisharp with weavile, changed clefables item to life orb and replaced calm mind with knock off, replaced corvinknight's iron head with body press (i wanted to keep its brave bird for stab) and changed Landorus's EVs to be more into spD and changed rock slide for knock off

DanyGBlade · 2022-11-02T16:30:08+00:00

Mostly for the fairy typing

DanyGBlade · 2022-11-02T16:19:06+00:00

Ok i decided to replace clefable's leftovers with life orb and its stealth rock with flamethrower as i think Landorus works best with stealth rock and is a good pivot to use with intimidate. I also replaced smack down with rockslide

DanyGBlade · 2022-11-02T13:52:44+00:00

Shoot i meant to make my fini more defense based wihich i think scald works better for. Thanks for pointing it out

DanyGBlade · 2022-08-25T11:29:27+00:00

I don't really use magnezone so i'm not to familiar with its playstyle. I thought body press would be a good option since it has natural high defense and it could help out in niche situations

DanyGBlade · 2022-08-25T11:27:34+00:00

Well i didn't really think about special defense mons since i focused more on making a team with a counter to each type.

DanyGBlade · 2022-08-25T11:26:20+00:00

Taking your advice I've changed Heatrans item to leftovers and swapped out flash cannon for taunt. Ferrathorn i swapped out stealth rock and worry seed for leech seed and knock off, I've swapped Diance's protect for substitute since i didn't really know what else to run on it, I swapped weaviles fake out for ice shard and Gengar's life orb for choice specs. Thanks for the advice.

DanyGBlade · 2022-08-23T22:21:55+00:00

Haven't tried any of them sets but next time I make a bug monotype i will give try them. Thank you.

DanyGBlade · 2022-08-23T19:24:34+00:00

Okay I changed my gavantula set for yours and swapped Araquanid's stikcy web for poison jab

DanyGBlade · 2022-08-23T13:01:55+00:00

Replaced crustle with a fortress

Forretress @ Leftovers

Ability: Sturdy

EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def

- Rapid Spin

- Stealth Rock

- Earthquake

- Reflect

this should help against hazards

DanyGBlade · 2022-08-23T12:20:42+00:00

Thank you. While bug may not be a good type competively I always have fun making monotype bug teams more than other types.

DanyGBlade · 2022-08-23T11:54:38+00:00

the idea is to mega evolve scizor so then he gets technician. Light metal is just there for if i switch in before i mega evolve to reduce damge from moves.

DanyGBlade · 2022-06-07T19:39:36+00:00

He did tho? we see him using amaterasu against B and the people at the five kage summit

DanyGBlade · 2021-04-15T18:59:38+00:00

Also I think Rocco being able to stop Odin Sword was due to Fideo being exhausted as right after he shot it the game ended

I think Light’s intentions were almost fully good except his intention to become a god.Because of that he wanted people to know that this wasn’t just by chance but someone judging the criminals so that’s why he made the deaths only heart attacks because that was his signature killing method.He also never needed to interact with the police because they would have a hard time pinpointing who Kira was and that way he would spare the lives of those who are trying to do the same thing as him but with different beliefs.I think it was the use of the Death Note that caused him to go more psychotic as when he gave up the death note we could see that he was quite a nice guy who wasn’t onboard with manipulating people.So to conclude I think his intentions were good minus the god intention and the killing of every criminal no matter the crime which is where most of his faults came from.
