More like why is smogon so shit? Weren't they made to make more Pokemon and strategies viable?

What exactly makes her so good?

>>32891165
Unmatched versatility for a pokemon which is generally strong.

>>32891165
It's a legendary.

>tfw Regice is a better special wall than Chansey

>Shiftry used Leaf Blade!

>>32891553
Regice is a better special wall than 80% of Pokémon

>>32891165
Good typing, tons of moves, different sets, great stats. Very versatile. Good enough to be banned but not that great at any one thing, so the meta is based around it essentially.

Try to think of another Pokemon that has all of the following characteristics

>access to stealth rocks as a move
>immune to volt switch
>immune to EQ/grounded moves
>access to SD/dual dance sweeping sets
>access to uturn

>gets EdgeQuake as well as fly for perfect Z-move coverage, 2/3 of which are STAB


No other Pokemon in the entire series does more competitively desirable things. We're getting close to GSC Snorlax at this point.

She's the new Aegislash. If your team doesn't have it, it's bad. If a Pokemon gets walled by it, it's bad. Even Garchomp is falling out of grace solely because of Landorus-T.

What a boring ass design. The most ambiguous non-descript quadruped ever. Anything interesting about it is just carried over from Incarnate Forme.

We should all have a team of six genies.
That would most certainly fix the meta.

That's true, but he also forgot to mention

which puts gliscor out of the running, if not having intimidate wasn't enough.

>>32891859

I feel like the only thing Chomp is better at than Lando is the Z-crystal set just because of its speed tier.

Competitive pokemon is literally a game based on reads and predictions. Maybe if you weren't so ass at those two things, you wouldn't be making pithy arguments that belittle their value.

This might not be the best place to put this but I don't see many threads around here dedicated to competitive smogon tiers discussion.

I've been trying to get into SM a bit, but I don't play much pokemon so I don't very well know what I'm doing, if any of you have some suggestions for this team I'd love to hear them

I've tried the most replacements in the Chandelure slot, at various times I was using Mega Medicham, Mega Heracross, and Alolan Marowak.

also I've been trying to think of a way to make it less free to earthquake

whimsicott has been doing a surprisingly good job of switching into them, but there's some awkwardness trying to pivot back into something that's a threat without a sac

>>32891123
I find it funny that some people are actually running HP ice on this thing just to counter other opposing landorus

>>32899814

>just to counter opposing Landorus

yeah that's exactly why, bud. there are totally no other strong physical attackers in OU which also happen to be quad weak to Ice and that Landorus typically switches in on. Nope.

>>32899836
>lando-t apologist this desperate to find boogeymen he blames shitmons

you have reached an entirely new dimension of retardation

>>32899836
>MUH CHOMP

Fuck off retard lando never needed HP ice to deal with It It's mostly used to deal with other opposing landos with the bonus of maybe OHKOing other quad weak shitmons.

>>32899836
Killing other Landos is literally the sole reason they run HP Ice at all you dumb fag

>>32899861
>>32899879

it is really sad just how little /vp/ knows about competitive, and how aggressively they state otherwise.

FORTY TWO PERCENT

>>32899943

remember when snorlax was banned in gen 2 for having above 50% usage? oh wait, you don't...because it wasn't. because high usage doesn't determine banworthiness, no matter how much shitters like you think it should.

Makes it even more embarrassing that melee, known for "fox only final destination" memes actually has more variety than ou where like 700 pokemon are legal(compare with melees 26 characters). You are a flaming autist if you defend this even if there is a huge amount of shitmons.

walrein can wall some things.

>>32899990
There are other tiers, you know. And if you don't like UU you can try out RU, or NU if you don't like that, or Ubers if you don't like those, then if you've still not found a tier you like you can try Smogon Doubles and other metagames. There are a lot of options besides whining on an imageboard, you see.

>>32900179
What's this supposed to imply? That chess is shitty? I won't defend that. Or are you trying to say lando-t vs lando-t has some kind of value in terms of skill? Go explore the rest of the pokedex.

someone post the valentine's day card of landorus

>>32899403
try using a slow u-turn/voltswitcher. those give you safe switch out.
