    So I've been experimenting with Mewnium Z on the ladder and I'm a bit confused why it isn't more common, It turns Mew into an excellent late game cleaner with a Rock Polish double dance set Mew @ Mewnium Z Ability: Synchronize EVs: 96 HP / 252 SpA / 160 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk -...

    PLus side to that is that Chandelure won't be 1v1 against those mons and only hoopa pressures switch ins to a ridiculous degree

    They are the two most viable ones that resist/are neutral to hidden power ice and fairy coverage, so not technically the only ones, but I would run one of the two of them on 90% of my OU teams or at least the ones I feel need a switch in to electric offense So basically yes I wouldnt call any...

    Taking on every electric type, and being able to survive hits people expect to kill it, definitely has a solid niche in the current meta

    Its just to point out that there isnt a downside to running Gengar if you're already running Genesect

    Bulky Tapu Bulu is a good user Ive found, it lets you do something to Mega Scizor/Skarm/Celesteela switch ins Genesect isnt really a 1 for 1 comparison with Gengar since they dont have that similar of a role, but you're pretty right. People are just trying to find that anti-meta type of mon...

    Nah Gengar is actually kinda sexy in the meta rn, base 110 is still a decent speed tier for what it does, and of course its phenomenal offensive and support movepool give it a number of niches. I thought it would be less viable before the meta due o general power creep, but the trends towards...

    In short its a blanket check for a lot of threats that fits offensive teams. counters Tapu Koko, Nihilego, and things it countered last gen, and checks a buttload more things

    On the note of spikes stack, does Golispod do any well in that role, I know it lets mantine, Pelipper and Zapdos in pretty easly to defog, but I'm just wondering if anyone has had success with it Sand is still fine, it just didnt get anything new really, but excadrill does check/counter quite a...

    I like it, but Ive basically just used it as a suicide lead, and I have taunt over SD for the meta right now

    Lele may prove to be broken but right now Stall doesnt have an archetype to latch to and there are too many other threats holding Stall down, to determine if Lele inhibits it too much, I'll grant Psychic terrain boosted psychics are insane from it but most Lele's are predictable since most are...

    I think Fini and Bulu never see suspects, I doubt any will be banned, a lot of people are on the Lele is busted hype train but it has counterplay, and thats what we need to enbrace in the meta more than having a set number of hard counters, I think Koko gets a suspect but its perfectly...

    My man, I love Bronzong in the Meta too, honestly though it will likely still be niche since Jirachi and Megagross are still super great in the meta from what I can tell and outclass my boi Bronzong in spite of levitate Does anyone know when usage statistics for the meta will come out

    I wouldnt be opposed to a suspect, I just don't feel like its broken at the moment I couldn't get behind this, since we'd be banning something that may or may not be broken to see if we can limit something that is broken just so it can stay OU

    I think thats a bit extreme for an analysis, most bulky steels in the meta (AV/Spdef Drill, Jirachi, Mega Metagross, etc) handle it pretty well, I dont think its broken but will soon be an S rank OU mon for its potency and ability to support other offensive mons

    Lele is a really good partner to a lot of dark types right now, most interesting right now being Mega Sharpedo, who could be OU by usage by the time the dust settles, since from wat Ive seen Mach punch almost isnt a thing anymore thanks to the tapus, and Lele has such good synergy with it.

    They dropped things removed by suspect, the mega stones were quickbanned, also Mega Gengar would 100% still be super broken

    So I've been playing around in the new meta with chandelure and it seems like it performs really well against a lot of top threats by virtue of its typing been running a bulky set Chandler (Chandelure) (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Infiltrator EVs: 252 HP / 156 Def / 100 Spe Bold Nature IVs...
