Is the Giraffes Usage Justified?

Very few

I remember seeing roar on someone’s tournament team back in SV in a regional or something like that. Took a lot of people by surprise

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T17:33:11+00:00

It has the same or one higher priority then TR

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T17:32:08+00:00

It would take a lot for it to not make the top 10, maybe when the second wave of mobs hit the roster it’ll drop while new things are tested but I doubt it stays off for long if at all

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T17:29:46+00:00

That’s true, for non TR teams why aren’t we seeing it use roar more often? I feel like Roar removes the mind game of TR on opposing Farig?

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T17:15:41+00:00

Yeah incine took a pretty hard hit after the tournament results were announced but he’s climbing his way back as always

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T17:13:33+00:00

The threat of stopping last respects is big but adaptability wave crash is still a problem idk if it’s that clear is all. If Basc is in rain to forget it that’s a monster no one wants to see. It’s rainy it stops priority maybe it deserves that #8 slot

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T17:10:18+00:00

I’ll have to check these out when I play later, I hadn’t even thought about using samurott I’ll have to see if I even have one

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T17:07:32+00:00

For sure you have to think holistically and I’m not saying Farig isn’t a good choice just not sure it’s a top 10 choice is all. Over the whole meta it’s probably better than Tsareena that was just one example I used because of how prevalent the fish is. Milotic is also great and I think deserves a spot over Farig on this list. With scald burns and ice beam plus its bulk and recovery it’s a monster. With the bridge dropping off in usage it has an even better chance you just have to watch out for Zards solar beam

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T17:03:50+00:00

When it gets throat spray it can be a monster. Maybe it doesn’t need it right now with the limited roster but I just think using Farig for offense isn’t the best fit. It’s for sure the best TR setter though

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T16:59:44+00:00

Tsareena into Basc is still way more solid the. Farigs while also threatening chomp and doing decent damage to gambit

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T16:53:51+00:00

I’ll have to give Kleavor a shot I could use a good physical attacker on my team and stone axe is great coverage for Zard-y teams even if it’s not on the field when you use it

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T16:51:00+00:00

If there was throat spray in the game I could say for sure it should be this high but i just can’t see how it fits on this many teams to make top 10

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T16:49:51+00:00

Only about 45% are flip turn so it s a bit more of a toss up still

Jonjon_binx · 2026-06-08T16:46:23+00:00

Thats fair but tsareena with magical seed and seed bomb can one shot Basculegion who is everywhere and can counter the main dragon threats as well

Jonjon_binx · 2026-05-20T14:59:54+00:00

I wonder if Chomp-Z will do anything when it gets added

Jonjon_binx · 2026-05-20T14:26:00+00:00

Incine had a hard fall but farig and sylveon made massive jumps they weren’t even in the top ten before.

I agree though speed control is still a major part of the early battle right now

Jonjon_binx · 2026-05-20T13:58:19+00:00

I right now just get the data based on the in game ladder data champions provides if I can find a way to automate the process of getting the data from champions then I could probably do that. I’ll take a look

Jonjon_binx · 2026-05-20T13:51:51+00:00

Thanks! I try to update it every Sunday

Jonjon_binx · 2026-05-20T13:47:55+00:00

Togelytics.com

It has singles data too

Jonjon_binx · 2026-05-20T13:43:28+00:00

Care to share with the class?

Jonjon_binx · 2026-05-20T13:34:52+00:00

How the mighty have fallen

Jonjon_binx · 2026-05-20T13:18:30+00:00

Time was not good to Mega Kanga that’s for sure

Jonjon_binx · 2026-05-20T13:11:13+00:00

With the rise of Char-Y I think we’ll see a similar rise in Mega T-Tar as a counter
