I think the Spectrier in the second battle thought Ho-Oh was special, probably got confused when it still OHKOd after all the snarl drops and rage quit when they saw it was physical lol

[@foofootoo]

Yeah I think that might have been the case. Or they were worried about doing damage to their own Solgaleo with Bulldoze when they know it would take a big hit from Ho-Oh? idk, Shadow Ball was probably a better play but it still wouldn't have saved them

I'm generally not interested in using restricted mons, but seeing people use creative teams around them makes me wonder if the meta isn't bad with them in. Maybe its just different

[@jakesalinas_]

It’s not as bad as you’d think, it might be a bit annoying but many of the series 7 mons are definitely viable along side your favorite restricted mon :)

[@bigmonke3348]

You're a bit forced to use meta mons even if they're not legendaries because literally everything nukes rn. The sub legendaries and the legendaries.

[@foofootoo]

I tend to agree about restricted formats, especially now you're only allowed one. This means games are very match-up based. But I think that is where the fun in teambuilding comes too - trying to find the niche picks that turn those bad match-ups into good ones [:

[@vanderson83]

This series is pretty different from previous formats when you were allowed 2 restricted mons, now with only 1 you see lots of teams built around some key mons (not always just the restricted) which are pretty interesting.

It's pretty decent for unsuspecting victims. It does struggle with Landorus, and maybe a more offensive Tapu Fini would help with that.

If you have sun up, Flower Gift boost and Helping Hand boost, Max Flare can OHKO a max HP Rotom Heat. If Weakness Policy is activated, you can OHKO a Max HP Rotom Heat even when dynamaxed!
