He’s not broken but he’s the most unskillful stat check Mon. Why he’s legal and not Lugia is illogical.

[@edsbegaming507]

⁠@@Spicynugz223I don’t get how people are saying Zama isn’t broken, it’s a literal box art legendary. The dog doesn’t have a single bad stat and outspeeds 90% of the tier giving it easy opportunities to set up, has access to all the coverage it would ever need in stone edge, crunch, heavy slam, ice fang, etc. roar to prevent opposing set up and to top it all off Tera to eliminate any actual checks you may have had before. It’s so easy to just win with the Mon

[@togakhan1274]

I have not been keeping up with OU. What the hell happend here? Sd Gliscor is being considered broken. Zama, Darkrai, Deoxys and Oger fell off. Kyurem is running Scale Shot sets. Tinkaton, Hydreigon, Latios, etc. are being used in OU. Zap is rising again. I NEED recap of the events since people wannted to ban Darkrai.

[@Gold_Gamer_100]

SD Gliscor is more of a fat teams breaker. Gliscor is seen as broken due to essentialy warping defensive play around it. It's like Gen 3 Skarm. If you can't hit it super effectively, you're probably cooked on the spot. It's also probably the biggest offendor of hazard setting in the tier bar none. Zamazenta fell off? Since when? It's literally the second best behind Gambit. Darkrai and wellspring fell off? Nah, cap. Latios is a niche pick in OU. Think of it like a sidegrade to dragapult if that makes sense. Zapdos is Zapdos. Literally it. Everything it did before it does now fine. Tink is used for utility role compression, a solid darkrai answer and a one time kyurem check with balloon. Kyurem with dd scale shot was used since kyurem came back to gen 9

[@quickspeeder4947]

Zama, darkrai and deo did not fall off, but yea sd gliscor is broken

[@tls178]

Most bans and suspects as of late have been mons that cross the line due to Tera. It's time to address the mechanic even if it's the core of the generation. Make a separate ladder with no tera maybe. If you compare what's been banned past gens VS now it's clear how Tera contributed a lot to increasing the bans

[@firstsunrise8759]

No team is forced to run 2 answers for each, and even if they do, it's not like the answers are useless outside of checking those. If you put Tera into the equation, then good luck as not even two answers are sufficient because of Arceus knows what set you can cook up and this isn't something that applies only to those 4

[@dylanrussell4158]

I've always enjoyed loaded dice icicle spear/scale shot/DD/freeze dry. It literally 6-0s stall. There were a bunch of curse SPD Dondozo's popping up too. This just eats those alive. Especially with tera ghost lol. The only thing it's really weak to is gholdengo. But if you pop their balloon on the switch then it did what it needed to do to that. And Ghold doesn't even one shot Kyurem. I think it's very versatile and hard to switch into, but I've never felt like I didn't have an answer for it. Except for those games where they use freeze dry 3 times and freeze 4 of my pokemon.

[@pmwaffle9348]

Honestly, if kyurem goes, I think darkrai, gliscor, waterpon, deoxys-s all become overbearing with the defensive structures that get freed up after kyurem leaves, and that'll lead to gholdengo & possible zamazenta & gambit leaving too because of it. It really just feels like its been broken of the week after volcarona got banned.
