Good news Ray, Urshifu won another world championship!

[@daveizab4151]

Groudon and kyogre always shape the 2 restricted format. The only thing holding them now is their low accuracy moves in comparison to other restricteds. Still with the low accuracy, if we had either primal groudon or primal kyogre, they would have also dominated regulation G. And the most important thing, they design and concept is still badass till this day. Weather trio FTW!

[@anna_medeia]

@@daveizab4151 Competition with Koraidon also kinda holds Groudon back now, albeit waaay less than in singles.

[@hornetscale]

@@anna_medeia I'm curious to see if in a double restricted format there will be teams with both Koraidon and Groudon on the same team.

Miraidon: and then I sweeped the field of all calyrexes and won worlds to prove him wrong

[@flatbread42]

I think the fall of Cresselia (at least in gen 9) is mainly meta game. There aren’t many strong ground types but there is tons of priority so Cress basically has no ability whereas Farigiraf’s ability controls what plays your opponents are able/willing to go for just from existing in team preview. If there was a low priority, ground dominated meta, I think Cress will take over again, like with Ursaluna at the start of Reg D.

[@wonderfulrose477]

Why did they even nerf Cress

[@benji5320]

@@wonderfulrose477it was pretty much considered the best pokemon of all time for vgc before incineroar. Even with the stat nerf, it still pretty much got a net buff with the new signature move it got from PLA.

[@OverloadedDragon]

ground was such an underutalized type this year while weak to calice, it's strong against both bikes, incinaroar, raging bolt, and most future paradox forms you could see this with Diego Ferreira, whose ursaluna was able to greatly help him against most of his matchups and attain a perfect record heading into day two

[@varanus5622]

Hey ray, wanted to tell you a gen 7 duo I had going it reminded me of your swagger metagross combo. So in gen 7 I used a toucannon with skill link and bullet seed, - atk nature and 0 ivs in attack alongside a salamance with intimidate and knowing rage. So what I did was use rage with salamance and then bullet seed salamance for a +5 attack bonus. Since salamance was 4x resistant to grass I took little damage to get the +5 attack on salamance I didn’t have time to explore and try it out in the competitive scene, but thought it was interesting to tell you. And no you can’t do this anymore, rage was removed unfortunately 😅.

[@dovesr0478]

If Game Freak's impeccable balancing pattern holds true, Calyrex/Miraidon/Koraidon will be nerfed in gen 10 to make room for the new broken cover legendaries. A new GOAT may not be that easy to crown if we get a revolving door of broken legendaries that get nerfed back to somewhat reasonable levels a generation or two after their debut.

[@teno777]

Calyrex dates back one gen, and it didn't get nerfed unlike Zacian though. It even got buffed.

One thing that I find fascinating is that Kyogre, Miraidon, and three of the Tapu’s set field effect that buff their own stab, meanwhile Groudon and Koraidon set sun but they are both physical focused when there is no physical equivalent to Heat Wave or Eruption and neither of which are fire type in their base form It’s somewhat sad that Mega Charizard Y does a better job at powering its own fire stab than Groudon, Koraidon, or even Torkoal (85 Sp. Attack? Really?)

[@BWoodRap]

Torkoal would be way too strong with a higher SpA. Sun boosted full HP Eruption is an incredibly powerful move, even off of his lower base SpA. Adding tera just makes it even more destructive.

[@typemasters2871]

@@BWoodRap fair point, Tera boosted would make Torkoal too strong for a non restricted but without Tera boost (like when Tera is removed) I think 109 would have been a decent Sp. Attack stat for a non restricted (same Sp. Attack as base Charizard and Typhlosion)

[@benji5320]

@@typemasters2871it’s still insanely strong even without the tera boost especially in non restricted. If a mon can easily sweep a team in 2 turns already, it does not need more power. You can see it in reg H rn with pelliper. 95 base SpA is not very high, but it’s able to surprisingly high damage even on neutral hits. That’s with 100 bp weather ball and no dmg boosting item. Torkoal even with 10 less SpA using a 150 bp spread move with a dmg boosting item is more than enough. Even then, torkoal is often used as a support too not just a trickroom sweeper.

Zapdos, Suicune and Entei have been "good" or decent for a long time but never dominated, Ho-Oh never had the same presence in VGC as in Singles and Lugia + Mewtwo and the other sublegis pretty much always sucked in VGC, so i kinda get why they were not mentioned in this video except for Mewtwo.

[@RyChu376]

@@anna_medeia fair, I guess it’s a little quantity over quality insofar as it’s unusual that they would have been as good for as long and still sometimes pop up in a niche even after power creep, not to mention they don’t have the same opportunity cost as restricted legendaries.
