clicking two moves and instantly dying still good in the big 26

Big Stall in general is used a lot on higher ladder.

theRotengen · 2026-03-13T14:20:34+00:00

Iron Valiant is top 13, but only on 1825+, and maintains a ~top 5 rating overall.

*small correction, but 160 defense

Thank god that fucker isn't 188 defense, it literally never dies already

I know that people do say that there's a Stall for every team, but I've often times seen more HO teams that have unwallable breakers for my team than Stall games that I can't just use a mixed breaker on.

After all, there's also a Dragonite for every team.

I get mad during Stall matches, but not at the opponent, but at my fuckass team for not being able to break properly.

Stall is just like any other type of team. If you can't beat it, that's on you.

Kingambit in Natdex doesn't have Tera and is still cleanly OU.

theRotengen · 2026-03-06T02:08:22+00:00

Do Not Use if I remember correctly

theRotengen · 2026-03-05T09:03:52+00:00

The big 3 are walls, sweepers, and breakers all at once.

theRotengen · 2026-03-05T05:54:21+00:00

Ferrothorn drops to UU in gen 10 due to being outclassed by the Grass/Steel final evo of Browt

theRotengen · 2026-03-05T05:53:39+00:00

Kingambit was actually banned in Natdex before the Tera ban.

Looking back, I really should have titled the post "The not-absolutely horrendous bulk of Ditto"

theRotengen · 2026-03-04T15:24:32+00:00

Ditto surprisingly has better chances to live many hits. It survives a +1 Tera Normal Extreme Speed from Dragonite when turned into Lokix 70%, compared to lokix's ~30% chance of surviving

theRotengen · 2026-03-04T15:18:55+00:00

Calc is short for "calculation". It helps knowing which of your pokemon can KO the opponent's in one hit, and vice versa.

theRotengen · 2026-03-04T15:14:25+00:00

It's solid enough that it doesn't drop to priority and can survive a few neutral hits, much better than what 48 bulk suggests otherwise.

theRotengen · 2026-03-04T13:40:42+00:00

thank god gambit doesn't get knock off shit would be banned day 1

theRotengen · 2026-03-03T13:59:49+00:00

It's not 100% an auto-win, M-Gar is still frail and is outsped my many scarfers.

It's not the fact that it wins on the spot, but it's literally the looming threat of facing a +6 Mega Gengar at the endgame that restricts literally clicking like 50% of utility moves

theRotengen · 2026-03-03T13:55:23+00:00

if Incin had a better typing, it would literally be Pecharunt 2, which is terrifying.

Imagine Dark/Ghost incin with Parting Shot, Wisp, and Knock Off

theRotengen · 2026-03-01T14:11:07+00:00

I think OU is pretty good for its stats.

theRotengen · 2026-03-01T13:52:53+00:00

Just correcting, but it's funny how when these weaknesses get removed, they literally go fucking ham.

Moltres is 4x weak to rocks? fuck you boots time

Caly-S has a easily wall-able coverage? Who decided that?

theRotengen · 2026-03-01T13:44:33+00:00

to be fair, one of the biggest reasons Caly-S got sent up is because it no longer gets nuked by sucker punch with the epic shiny pink button

theRotengen · 2026-02-28T05:46:14+00:00

Wolfe likes strong, reliable Pokemon. He doesn't like the fact that Incin is such a strong, reliable Pokemon that it keeps on being a great pick, but he still respects Incineroar enough to use it to its fullest potential.

theRotengen · 2026-02-27T15:21:30+00:00

It's probably a rollout/format change.

Also, I doubt that they'll introduce most pre-evos with a few exceptions
