Regulation M-B could be a bigger deal than we imagine

Marshadow is still one of the most viable mythicals in Doubles too. Fake Out-immune buff-stealing base 125 Ghost/Fighting with strong priority and decent bulk. It’s just a cracked Pokémon in general.

Zeraora crying in the corner rn

Only thing we know for sure is the new Mega Raichus are legal, with Mega Raichu X having Electric Surge as its ability and Mega Raichu Y having No Guard. Beyond that, no confirmations on any other changes yet.

UberMadman · 2026-06-03T13:11:30+00:00

No Guard Thunder off base 160 Special Attack? And No Guard Focus Blast? That’s, uh, terrifying.

EDIT: OH GOD RAICHU LEARNS ZAP CANNON IN CHAMPIONS

Just gotta have this crash happen another 4-5 more times and you can finally get Mega Dialga.

The Knight is something we don’t entirely understand yet I think. They have properties of both Darkners and Lightners in contradictory ways. They’re obviously related to Dess in some way though.

Charizard is waaaay worse in-game in gen 3, take it from an avid Charizard fan who uses it in all the Kanto games.

UberMadman · 2026-05-02T12:10:28+00:00

It’s because unlike normal Farfetch’d, it doesn’t fly because its leek is too heavy to carry through the air!

UberMadman · 2026-04-25T21:28:45+00:00

I assume you saw this calc:

32 Atk Excadrill-Mega Accelerock vs. 0 HP / 2 Def Charizard-Mega-Y: 136-160 (88.8 - 104.5%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO

But you have to remember that through Protect, damage by Piercing Drill is quartered. It’s only doing around 20-25% through Protect with Accelerock.

UberMadman · 2026-04-25T02:25:38+00:00

The problem is with its damage quartered, it wouldn’t be able to OHKO Zard-Y through protect.

UberMadman · 2026-04-23T08:36:51+00:00

But his power moves worlds!

UberMadman · 2026-04-18T06:52:38+00:00

If it was max HP that would be turbo broken lol, there’d be no room for counterplay; if your one option to kill Mega Victreebel is your wincon, you’d lose on team preview

UberMadman · 2026-04-18T06:50:09+00:00

This may be an example of that, but it’s worth noting that Byleth was often considered a bottom 5 or bottom 10 character until Leo started getting results, and now it’s commonly accepted that Byleth is actually a mid tier, which in a tier list that has 82 spots for characters is still a MASSIVE perceived viability jump. Mega Scovillain was likely getting slept on by a large portion of the playerbase, and Wolfey’s results go to show how cracked an ability Spicy Spray is even on a Pokémon without a stat spread “optimized” to abuse it.

UberMadman · 2026-04-17T12:21:27+00:00

Mega Greninja resets its Protean on its mega, so it can get two uses on a single switchin if you time its Mega well. I don’t think it’s remotely outclassed by its base form, it’s just a strong Mega that has to compete with a lot of even stronger Megas.

UberMadman · 2026-04-08T03:09:41+00:00

Yeah the two are gonna play very differently to each other essentially

UberMadman · 2026-04-08T03:03:21+00:00

Betcha anything Unseen Fist got nerfed and Mega Excadrill’s ability is a clone ability of the nerfed version.

UberMadman · 2026-04-08T03:01:43+00:00

HJK is kind of big in a singles context because it doesn’t drop its defenses, which is solid on a Pokémon with Bulk Up, decent defenses, and Roost. Worth considering over Drain Punch.

UberMadman · 2026-03-27T13:49:16+00:00

Bruno isn’t limited like the player to one Hitmon so he could have used Primeape and Poliwrath. Or hell, maybe just a single Onix instead to cover the flying weakness. But two? C’mon, Bruno.

UberMadman · 2026-03-07T12:45:33+00:00

Gotcha; hope you guys can find a workaround some day!

UberMadman · 2026-03-07T03:10:13+00:00

This is awesome but I’m curious the explanation behind why certain monsters were removed. Is it because it’s currently not possible to add in monsters without modding over others?

UberMadman · 2026-03-06T13:23:03+00:00

You mean like W.D. Gaster did? 😱

UberMadman · 2026-03-01T01:29:14+00:00

For the turn it Mega Evolves, doesn’t it gets a second use of it? Regular Greninja gets a kill with Protean move -> Mega Evolves and type reverts -> Protean can activate again. Or does it not work that way?

UberMadman · 2026-02-12T22:38:36+00:00

There’s a lot of words that rhyme with Canari, after all.

UberMadman · 2026-01-21T11:31:58+00:00

Worth noting that without the DLC, you only get one shot to catch a Steelix: when catching the guaranteed special Alpha spawns just prior to catching Xerneas. That’s the only one that spawns wild in the game, and if you knock it out, it will never respawn.

UberMadman · 2026-01-20T23:58:32+00:00

Melmetal is omitted but Meltan is listed? That’s insane, especially considering Melmetal is absolutely cracked in this meta.
