Why is Kartana high in all formats but Special (in which it appears to be replaced by Pheromosa)? Does Lunala slay it or something?

>>31507610
>42% of Garchomp in BSS are scarfed
Holy shit.

>>31507610

Seems like it.
Special is the you get to use one pokemon that would normally be banned format.

>>31507610
why is mimikyu mostly adament? I thought it would be jolly for sure

>>31507861
I guess since it's guaranteed a free turn no matter what people would prefer it hit hard rather than first.

This doesn't surprise me even a little. I've been using Porygon2 and I've seen all of these Pokémon pretty commonly, ESPECIALLY Tapu Koko.

fuck garchomp

that piece of shit really needs nerfed
It needed it way more than Gengar, at least

Fuck, I just wanted to sign up for Alola Friendly.

Garchomp doesn't need a nerf, one Ice Beam and it's down for the count.

>Mega Kangaskhan #26 in singles and #21 in doubles
F

>>31507610
I like Garchomp, but I feel it is a bit high given its competition.
Is it possible that people are relying on it because of its "tried and true" status?

>>31507861
In Smogon singles it's base speed with Jolly is actually relevant.

Here sadly it already jobs to a lot of stuff so they would rather hit hard twice, or set up on a slow mon and hit once very hard.

It's a matter of what do you expect to use it and how would it be countered.

>arcanine on top in VGC
fuck yes

>>31508499
>given its competition
Nothing does Garchomp's job as effectively as it does, it's basically the perfect singles mon

>>31508534
What makes Snorlax good?

>Guzzlord nowhere to be seen

Kek, that's hilarious. So much for the most dangerous UB!

>>31508577
Gluttony with the 50% healing berries is very good, just like Muk. There have been some successful teams lately using it to set up sweeps with Curse/Belly Drum

out of those I use Gyarados, Mimikyu, and Celesteela.

Mega Gyarados especially I get incredible mileage with in Battle Spot, between the attack drop, getting free switch ins on Earthquakes, fucking over people who mispredict the Mega Evolution, and being able to set up DD.

>>31508577
I'd assume (don't hold me to this) that it is one part the massive special trend of the meta, and on top of that, how little fighting there is. Arcanine is literally the only reliable source of physical fighting moves in that top 10, and I'm not sure if an Arcanine Close Combat can put down a snorlax anyways, or if the most common Arcanine sets even use it.

>>31507610
Well no surprise mimikyu is up there, free switch in swords dance tends to fuck things over.
Though I thought the common nature would be jolly, not adamant.
Overkilling doesn't get you points or something.

>>31508663
It's pretty weak with Jolly, and the speed increase isn't that important right now since most common stuff is either really fast or really slow

>>31508663
Basically, the boost to speed doesn't make or break anything important, while the power does. The things Mimikyu is fighting either aren't fast enough to speed-creep it, or so fast Mimikyu won't catch up anyways, mostly the first. On the other hand, putting the biggest dent into something you might otherwise just annoy is always a good idea, especially when you are relying on Shadow Sneak for some of that damage.

>>31508611
Kartana?

What the fuck do I run for alola friendly

mimikyu and anti mimikyu.
pick a tapu.
UB glue.

>>31509022
mega stones aren't allowed right
does scizor work without mega?

>>31509067
I don't see why not.
It should be fairly useful against Tapus shouldn't it?

>>31509067
Very well.
In a sense, Scizor is the ideal Mega. It is a splendid use of the slot, yet can function admirably without the stone. Its core function does not change, just the subtleties of how it does it. Mega-Scizor is a direct upgrade to a Pokemon that can live without it.

>all tapus
>5 out of 7 ultra beasts

disgusting

>>31509067
Banded Scizor is neat.

>>31509099
At least none of them are overpowered, though Celesteela is pretty cancerous

>>31509109
got any set ideas?
