Wall for Tensa Zangetsu (page 1)

Yep, Qwilliam (Overqwil) is back in NU. :D Overqwil Rain is so fun.
Quagsire, Umbreon, and Talonflame leaving is huge. Stall lost good Pokemon for that style, and losing Talonflame means NU loses its only viable Defogger. With Overqwil dropping as a Spikes setter at the time, how fun... I expect there to be boots spam builds, people trying out Rapid Spinners like Tsareena, and hazard stack with a Knock Off user to be more common in the future. There are Pokemon who benefit from Talonflame leaving such as Toxicroak, Mienshao, and Flygon. Toxicroak no longer has to deal with the awkward 50/50s of whether you should click Close Combat or Sucker Punch, Mienshao can drop Stone Edge for Triple Axel or Ice Spinner for Vileplume. SD Breloom can now slot in Aerial Ace or Bulldoze to hit Vileplume and Galarian Slowbro respectively, instead of having to use Rock Tomb. Talonflame leaving means one less EQ immunity for Flygon sets such as Band. Kilowattrel is now the fastest unboosted mon in NU. Iron Thorns benefits from Quagsire and Umbreon leaving since Thorns can use other Tera Types such as Flying and Umbreon gone means no more taking a million damage from Foul Play. I'm interested in how the meta will develop with NU's only viable Defogger being gone, as well as the Incineroar usage since Overqwil being NU means Incineroar has another Intimidate Dark-type to compete with for the Dark slot on teams.

Honestly it's both lmao, I use it too much on ladder, and NU ladder can be rather dead at times. And I might lowkey post that Scream Tail set and the CM set for NU since Scream Tail is now NU once I try those sets on HO. (But that's after I use Overqwil Rain lol)

Oh no not the Endure Cramorant, Endure sounds more annoying to deal with combined with Custap Berry. Wow that's a goated lead Scream Tail set, I didn't know it had Imprison, sounds fire to stop opposing Stealth Rock leads from setting up rocks, and it can Misty Explosion to pseudo block Rapid Spin and Defog. I might lowkey give that lead set a try with Stealth Rock Encore Imprison Misty Explosion. :D

I love One Piece, my only complaint is that it's not long enough.

To answer your question in chat, I'm currently watching One Piece. Just started though, I'm only on Wano. I just got to Onigashima.

Incineroar wasn't around back then iirc :P I might actually consider Tera Blast Fighting. Sableye and Spiritomb aren't real Pokemon, so...
Maybe I might consider just sticking to NastyRoom lol, Farigraf doesn't outspeed common scarfers at +2, meaning it needs more than 1 Agility boost, and Farigiraf needs the bulk to not die to a Knock Off from (Offensive) Incineroar.

Though I unironically want to try Dual Dance Farigraf on HO in NU, it's just that you have to choose whether you want to get walled by Incineroar or Bronzong unless I decide to do Tera Blast Fighting for some reason.

Oh yeah I've seen that video before, sad that strat won't really work nowadays since Incineroar is really good in NU... Plus I got flashbacks to that one period of time of NU ladder using Eviolite Quick Attack Scyther because of freezai lmao

True LMAO (insert person talking to a brick wall meme here)

Ok, soo basically, there was this person said they were going to play like NatDex RU or something to get away from people using legendaries because he finds them to be broken and even said legendaries like Regigigas and Uxie can be broken as well (these two were examples asked by the NDUU room driver about all legendaries being broken). The room driver said that he was arguing in bad faith because of that and mentions how Gliscor can 1v1 most legendaries, then the room driver said that legendaries were basically no different than high stat Pokemon with sometimes good movepools. One of the Room owners even said that legendaries aren't really different from high stat Pokemon aside from lore and being hard to catch in-game, with the ladder not meaning "diddly squat" on Pokemon Showdown. Then, a room voice mentioned how Articuno is B- in BDSP PU, a metagame without Heavy-Duty Boots, which lead to the person who thinks all legendaries are broken saying this:

"The rocks don't seem worth it, never have been. the simple answer to the rocks is to not switch out. You know, actually having faith in what you send out. But' that's just me. From what's i've seen, switching back and forth and back only leads to your opponent seeing that you have no idea what to do, and the rest is history"

(Just like the room voice who stepped in... I... also don't know what to make of that comment)

This led to the room voice saying that switching out isn't a sign of defeat and that switching out is one of competitive players' most important tools to reposition out of a bad matchups. The "legends are broken" person said that switching just delays the inevitable, saying the following:

"see, when your opponent can switch too, they do it, and often, the moment the mon being harassed is off the field, it leaves... just to come back the moment it's back"

 which led to the room driver saying that logic is flawed, even saying this:

"so you're saying that because the game is gonna end anyways
i should just... not play the game?"

The "legends are broken" person even said that the opponent switches Pokemon to scare out your Pokemon, only to switch out the moment it's gone, saying something players using Landours-Therian do (Yeah Idk what to say about that)

The room driver then asked what is the difference between the opponent switching out and him switching out because the person who thinks all legends are broken basically said that you should stick to the Pokemon you send out as if Pokemon was a game of "willpower" or something like that. The room driver then said he was done with it for his mental's sake...

I even copy pasted what went down and put it into a Pokepaste since the NDUU room is mostly inactive at times. Just let me know if you want to read all of what went down LOL
