Replying to Gent #gent_.

Paradox mence is way better than chomp, but anything scarfed that’s weak to ice feels bad because of the leopard

Roaring Moon's issue is that Chien-Pao, Flultter Mane, Iron Valiant, and Iron Bundle all counter it pretty well.

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 11:58 AM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

If most Paradox Pokemon stay in OU, it might actually be OU-BL

Gent Nov 18, 2022 11:58 AM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

No they don’t

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 11:58 AM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Yes they do?

Gent Nov 18, 2022 11:58 AM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

It kills all of them with sun up

Gent Nov 18, 2022 11:58 AM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

That’s not a counter

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 11:59 AM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Roaring Moon is still good, but it has issues

Gent Nov 18, 2022 11:59 AM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Iron bundle is mid

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:00 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Paradox mence is only of the strongest, crunch/eq/u-turn is incredibly hard to play around

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:00 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

I use outrage last move since it’s just a win button if there’s not more fairies but iron head is also good

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:00 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

From most of what I've seen so far, Roaring Moon needs setup, usually DD, to get into a spot where he can do good.

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:00 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

With Flutter Mane and Chien-Pao around

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:01 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

I just use choiced in sun

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:01 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

It can one shot both

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:01 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Nothing has counters here

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:01 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

They can also one shot it.

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:02 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

No shit

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:02 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Well, we'll see how the game evolves. People want tera to be banned but I think that's dumb as fuck.

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:03 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

There’s a good chance it will be

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:03 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

It's hard to play around right now because no one knows what people will do.

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:04 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

First bans are coming Monday, I don't think tera will be banned for a while at least.

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:04 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

With 18 options for all 6 pokemon you never really can

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:05 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

The other issue is that, this game is obviously built around Hyper Offense

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:05 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

and Smogon's format has always really resisted that.

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:05 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Those freaking stall lovers!

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:05 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Well it's not about that, I do think it's good for it to be balanced

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:06 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Many bans in the past however, were based upon how it effected stall or slower styles of play, and it's harder to do that this time around.

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:06 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

I would like to see someone point out a ban that wasn’t justified

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:06 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

No, the issue isn’t the thing that was banned normally, it’s the way they do it

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:07 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

A lot of times they quickban something for the sake of tournaments when it should’ve had a proper suspect test

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:07 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

That happens a lot too

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:07 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Or in the case of gen 8, they just waited too long in everything out of spite

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:08 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Pheromosa, cinderace, and magearna should not have stuck around that long, and the meta was just shit for the longest time

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:09 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

It finally became kind of good within like the last year of its lifespan

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:10 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Also, have you seen how good Orthworm is?

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:10 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Game freak didn’t make it easy with their horrible dlc/pokemon home releases to ruin everything

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:10 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Yeah

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:10 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Loving it so far, was not expecting the goofy worm to be as good as it is.

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:10 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Enjoy shed tail while it lasts too

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:11 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

I’ve had so many cyclizard vs cyclizard leads, but I always kill them because mine is scarfed

Gent Nov 18, 2022 12:13 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Sun seems to have way more usage than e-terrain

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:14 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Well it doesn't help that the other terrains aren't as fleshed out.

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 12:45 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Roaring Moon tera steel into DD is disgusting.

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 1:11 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

I wish Kingambit was better, it's so hard to use him.

Gent Nov 18, 2022 1:29 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

No, he’s fine, it’s everything else that’s ruining his fun

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 1:30 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Fair enough.

Flower Shop Loox Nov 18, 2022 1:30 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

It's hard to have a good perspective on what's fine or not when half the meta is Hyper Offense right now.

Number one team on the ladder right now is a stall team.

Flower Shop Loox Nov 19, 2022 12:20 PM Scarlet Violet Leak Thread

Guess stall isn't that dead.
