Lost to Slurmz, gg

Should've broken out the attract set bud

You free any time tomorrow for a fight??

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAH FLEX!!! Also I had no clue AM was in it but last time I saw him it was me getting owned in some OU tour and he spectated me.

Really nice team! Lotad is so good and I will forever hype it. I really like the synergy of having kabuto who can also abuse rain while clearing spikes which really helps lotad counter wailmer even better. Also, optimal EV's for it is imo Calm (+ SpD -Atk) 36 HP / 36 Def / 116 SpA / 196 SpD /...

Bulky band users serve as the best counter to thief spammers, snubbull in particular does well with that as it can run thief to then take the sitrus berry from the switch in.

Yep, that's how metagames and niches work. Something that makes me laugh is that in OU, quagsire is higher on the VR than conkeldurr but in NU, quagsire is lower than gurdurr. Somehow it manages to both be better than conk while at the same time worse than a not as good version of it.

Wow, Amoonguss didn't just scrape by into OU like Quag and Zapdos, he's sitting super comfortably in it with over 5% usage

You forgot to show that Lotad got moved from C+ to B-. Also the mention of clamperl reminds me that that's another thing that lotad can beat, though not as cleanly because ice beam breaks sitrus berry. Also i've gotten my ass kicked by Meowth more than once with it contributing to my loss past...

Something else to consider is how capable they are of sweeping after they've set up. Bagon can be lacking in power due to not getting any SE hits on his main attack. However, larvitar is walled very hard by baltoy who is already a good spinner and anti-lead so it's hard to say who wins on the...

Lotad C+ --> B This guy probably belongs in B+ but I won't push for too much. Being able to counter wailmer, horsea and staryu while also easily checking elekid, chinchou, most abra variants and trapinch is already a big deal, but the fact that lotad also can stay alive for a long time...

Ehh, as long as you have sucker punch and pivot Croagunk well, you can kill both trappers with sucker punch before too long. Granted, having to choose between running 2 priority moves or limiting croagunk's effectiveness is a toughie, but the existence of diglett and gothita doesn't just...

macle I wasn't at the draft but thanks for drafting me, now I will play with my mono-amphibian team of croagunk/poliwag/wooper/tympole/mudkip/lotad. Nothing can possibly go wrong with this plan and no one will hate me for it.
