[@hollylucianta6711]

Strictly speaking because Calyrex + Horse is two Pokemon with two abilities and two movepools combined, it really should be able to hold two items. I don't see it staying relevant in the metagame without this necessary buff.

[@trainerrichard6859]

It is undeniably funny that despite all the special treatment mewtwo got, game freak literally made a psychic type that literally just outclasses it.

[@Flamelance_Accendo]

All it took was the effort of making two Pokemon fight together.

[@christiancinnabars1402]

All things considered, Mewtwo didn't get super insane special treatment like you'd expect from a mon with two Megas. Its HA is _very_ underwhelming, and its signature move, while good, is nothing spectacular like the ones you see nowadays. Its Megas also don't have the most powerful abilities, especially compared to the Primals/Mega Ray introduced a single game afterwards. And of course Gen 8 reverted the Megas out of existence, so they're basically a nonfactor unless Z-A brings them back permanently. So the only things Mewtwo still has (for now) are two relatively small buffs from Gen 5, some cool moves added to its movepool every now and then (the big one being Nasty Plot in Gen 8), and that's it. No signature item (I'm surprised Berserk Gene never made a comeback as a Mewtwo-only held item), no Ability/Hidden Ability replacements, no new signature move to keep it up to Gen 9 standards, no huge movepool influx, nothing. It's just the same old Pressure Legendary running nearly the exact same sets as it did back in Gen 5.

since this isn't getting into singles, imma get into them here: caly-i is generally pretty fine, hits hard as hell but its low speed, bad offensive movepool and god awful defensive typing really hold it back from doing a lot, although it can set up trick room for itself to off-set the first problem caly-s is an absolute war crime that completely ruined gen 8 ubers, forcing most teams to run yveltal, which in turn forced eternatus, whom also forced necrozma-dm, basically locking in 4/6 slots for most teams, and was so god damn insane thanks to tera in gen 9 that it was banned to anything goes, becoming the fourth ever pokemon (behind mega rayquaza, gen 4 arceus and gen 8 zacian) to be banned from ubers, which is extra impressive with the bike lizards running around

[@birds1062]

The fact that Calyrex Shadow wasn't banned from Gen 8 Ubers baffles me. It warped the entire way around it, and not in the good way like Gen 2 Snorlax. Gen 2 Snorlax helped the tier by preventing people from having to use stall to beat special attackers, Calyrex Shadow was just a complete detriment to Gen 8 ubers.

[@webbowser8834]

@@birds1062 The threshold for banning a mon from ubers is understandably much higher than other tiers due to the history of ubers as a sort of "banlist" tier and the lack of competitive tiers above it. Simply being centralizing or even omni-present is not sufficient for a mon to be banned, it basically needs to break the meta over its knee. That being said, even taking into account the higher bar for banning a mon from ubers, gen 8 Calyrex Shadow got reeeeeal close to that line and absolutely merited a suspect. It is also unquestionable that the gen 9 mechanics removed the few weaknesses shadow had (namely lackluster coverage and abusable defensive typing), punting it clean into AG.

[@bigtoblerone8446]

[@webbowser8834]

@@bigtoblerone8446 Mimikyu can swap into caly shadow *once* if disguise is up, and doesn't guarantee the shadow sneak one shot without a bit of chip damage. Without disguise Mimikyu is comically dead to astral barrage and thus is a revenge killer at best. You are prolly better off with Giratina, which can be EV'd to live an astral barrage, KO with shadow sneak, and do things besides being an exceedingly mediocre SD sweeper. This applies to either Giratina form, though Origin is more generally useful due to having better offenses. Ofc even with EVs both Giratinas are liable to die to astral barrage after taking some chip, but in addition to having utility beyond simply checking caly shadow, they have the option to defensive tera to become waaaay more resistant to astral barrage.

[@camhamsshow]

I kid you not, I put a Farigiraf on my reg g team and tested it on showdown because it seems like the *perfect* counter to Calyrex shadow on paper. Normal/psychic type to resist caly's psychic stab and be immune to astral barrage, trick room to make itself and its allies move before the god forsaken speed demon, and armor tail to prevent any of caly's allies from doing potential fake out into astral barrage combo. But nope, even with ALL of that, I had a match where my Farigiraf was ohko'd by SPECS DARK PULSE from Calyrex because that was totally expected. To make matters worse, in another match, my Farigiraf was ohko'd by specs POLLEN PUFF. It's so mind boggling to me that something that's supposed to be counter on paper just gets annihilated in the blink of an eye if you don't either make the hardest read of your life, or burning your tera turn 1 and still possibly get read

[@camhamsshow]

Base Form Calyrex is in ZU in singles, below the PU Glastrier and well below the Ubers Spectrier.

[@yungmuney5903]

God... like I wouldn't mind them so much if they were actually well designed aesthetically, but they're not to me. Calyrex has that direction issue where I can't tell if I'm supposed to take it seriously or not, that sock monkey doll looking ass body with that more grounded rabbit head with a stoic expression. It's just looks plain off, like pick one direction GF. Wheras the horses just look TOO plain. Nothing about them looks significant enough to come across as legendaries. Glastrier looks like just an Ice Mudsdale and Spectrier looks like ghost Rapidash. They're too empty and unfinished. They could've added more decorations on it like saddles to compliment the 'fusion' steed gimmick, maybe give Glastrier an ice barding, give Spectrier some ghoulish caparison, like give them SOMETHING to look more significant. And then you get the real spotlight with the Rider forms and man... Calyrex does not stylistically match either of the horses, like, at all. The way Calyrex crams more detail into a smaller outline makes it look more like a different piece of artwork scaled down and pasted onto these cleaner and roomier horse designs. Neither horse shares any common shapes or design cues with the rider. Calyrex's white elements don't even match Glastrier's white elements, and its grey elements don't even match Spectrier's grey elements. These Pokemon were simply never designed to actually look stylistically pleasing together or play off one another in any identifiable fashion.

[@fuyuk1r1ft8]

If you've played Radical Red, the most difficult battle in hardcore mode wasn't some of the rigged nonsense with cheating field effects or enemy stat boosts. It's one calyrex shadow in agatha's team with grim neigh and astral barrage that can delete your team if it kills even one enemy. Sucker punch isn't available, so if you lose a pokemon you'll likely get wiped. Keep in mind this is a game where in other battles your opponents' pokemon start with +6 all stats or field effects that halve your own speed, make enemies immune to super effective moves ar take half damage or take a fourth of your health each turn. And the hardest battle before post game is just one normal calyrex.
