    Point of reference for Talonflame. On Smogon's singles ladder I played with the Bravest Bird for a while with various choice band sets but found there was an issue.
    See, occasionally, I would press a button that wasn't Brave Bird, thinking it would be better in a given situation. It was not. Brave Bird was always the correct option. So I removed every other move besides Brave Bird so I wouldn't accidentally select them and ended up with a better win rate as a result.

      The strategy has some problems:
      -Fling is not a priority move, Fake Out goes before every other attacking priority move
      -You can activate weakness policies since it's a dark type move, Fake Out doesn't
      -It's a one time use move, once you fling the object, it's gone for the match
      -A faster Pokemon can use Knock Off on you
      -A faster Pokemon or one with prankster can use trick on you

    Why would they nerf Dark Void only to make it so that Smeargle can't learn it right after? Darkrai has been banned forever, why nerf him at all?

    I never understood having both the dark void nerfs just for Smeargle. Like lower accuracy would've made sense if they wanted Smeargle to still have the move as it'd just be a 1/4 chance to get both foes. Making it exclusive to Darkrai just means its not in the format anymore (thank god). Having both seems excessive since that just means Darkrai, a legendary Pokemon that's never legal to begin with, can't take advanatage of its signature move when playing non competitive.

    Imo the easiest way to nerf Geomancy without changing too many mechanics would be making it a "must recharge the turn after" move instead of a two turn move. That way it wouldn't work with power herb and it wouldn't be that harsh of a nerf since you are +2 spdef in order to survive that turn. Obviously that would make Geomancy not worth using at all but who cares.

      I think there are other ways to nerf geomancy, without making xerneas completely worthless (because let's be honest, without it it's just a mediocre restricted), for example make it a slightly better quiver dance: +1 spatk, +1 spdef and +2 speed, this way it doesn't oneshot the entire non-steel metagame but still keeps one of its main strenghts which is being very fast

    Okay, I’m just going to say it. Garchomp is one of my all time favorite Pokémon, but it was absurd back in the gen 4 meta. Sand veil, swords dance boosting, Draco meteor for a surprise kill on physical tanks, coverage on the entire meta game with I think just 4 moves, nothing that can out-speed and kill it if it’s holding the ice resist berry, and the fact that it can two hit K.O. every single Pokémon in the game after a single swords dance. With the exception of Wobbafett (because shadow tag plus encore and countering moves is stupid), Garchomp was the first non-legendary Pokemon to be banned to Uber’s. Honestly, just go watch False Swipe Gaming’s video on the competitive history of Garchomp to see how broken it was.

    • @ShuraEssays

      It's one of the best steel types in a very strong fairy metagame and it does absolutely absurd damage to dynamax. To top it off it starts the game with a +1 and the only way to stop it is by having either intimidate or neutralizing gas. I don't have to run any calcs to be confident in saying that +1 behemoth blade OHKOs most dynamaxes and that's horrifying.

      Is there a set of dueling rules where players only get to use one legendary or mythic in their team? I like the current format too, but when I start to catch legendaries on the Crown Tundra, I would like to use them sometimes without facing off against teams that are nothing but legendary pokemon. I think it would be a good format to say "limit one legendary/mythical per team" so we get to use them but without shutting out the normal mons.

    Now for the most toxic Pokémon in a literal sense:
    10. Shroodle, they spray paint markings around its territory that secrete a foul odor and don’t try to anger it, or it’ll bite you and you’ll be paralyzed from its poisonous fangs
    Weezing, considering Koffing expels horrible smelling gases and can even explode them everywhere, I can only imagine Weezing to be much worse.
    Swalot, basically Gulpin (the Pokémon with overpowering farts for some reason) but it can expel poisonous gases from its body
    Nidoran, they have barbs that can even kill the victim with just one tiny hair in contact. (The male one especially)
    Stunky (while Skuntank is just as bad, the stench it squirts dulls after a couple shots), it releases a toxic liquid from its ass onto its opponents. The smell can be detected from 16 feet away and can last for 24 hours. Not only that, but the stench can cause fainting and even memory loss.
    Toxapex, if you are hit with a toxic spike, the poisonous pain will last for 3 entire days (not even a Wailord is unaffected)
    4. Dragalge, the poison it spews can even (Melmetal) melt metal
    3. Garbodor, while Trubbish’s belches can cause one to faint and a young living being to potentially die, Garbodor not only has even worse belches, but also an arm that can execrate poison that can kill anything weak.
    2. Toxicroak, this things knuckles are so poisonous and dangerous that just a scratch would kill you.
    1. Muk, it smells so horrendous that it can cause fainting, not to mention being around them causes diseases, also it can kill any plant it passes by.
    Honorable mentions: Salazzle and Glimmet/Glimmora, Corrosion, nothing else to say; Loyal Three and Pecharunt, the Loyal Three have Toxic Chains and Pecharunt’s mochi contains poisons that possess the consumers and make them obey its orders;
    (I’m currently working on finding more Pokémon that might make it to this list, and there’s a lot to count, so I’ll finish this list later)
