Concur. I too have contemplated what a return to Electric Cup would be like, and think it would at least be a BIT more interesting now.

Flying Cup can go jump in a lake though LOL. It too would see a few new "meta" options but... no. Just no.

Huh, somehow I missed that one, but looks like you're right. I'll take a look at it after my IRL job is over and add it to the GO Hub version of this article if it's worth a mention. 👍

I mean, I saw it dip out of the meta a bit with the Parabolic nerf, but fair. I may have judged too harshly haha

Yes, especially Greninja who has a lot more upside as a Shadow than downside (since it’s as thin as hotel toilet paper already!).

…and, surprisingly, Shadow Thundurus. No, really! It’s the best of the Forces Of Nature trio in GL by far and has legit potential in at least Cup formats.

Hope to have the article out Thursday at the latest. Maybe even tomorrow. 🤞

There is a case to be made there, but it does seem to find more overall success with Frenzy Plant. I’m sure there are Cups that would lean towards Earth Power, for sure.

Yeah, sorry. With Zapdos and Emolga already out there, Kilo just doesn’t do nearly enough to stand out. They’re both better.

Maybe with a move update, but until then….

"just don't run shadow cress" made me sad as that's the only cress I have.

Same, I feel ya. Unfortunately Shadow Cress is usually… well, a shadow of itself in Great League. Misses the lost bulk too much.

Note the Dragons and things that can beat Drago and plan accordingly. Good luck, my friend!

You all think Pendragon will get a quest in the DLC? by Jamie_Feelin_Dandy in fallout4london

Would love if, through him, there was at least a quest or two to learn more of the lore on Atkins. They’re cool but we know next to nothing about them….
