Yes, just because you slap 6 pokemon together doesn't mean your team is viable. If I run 6 normal types, should I try to ban close combat or play different? razimove 1 Link to comment
suigin Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Whimsicott is kind of a pain for screens to play against. You should give it a try. Link to comment

Makarovs Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) I used this team in a 128UU finals some days ago, and got destroyed by a brick break Metagross xd(if you didnt know, this move break screens). Its a very good team not gonna lie, but idk if deserve a ban or something like that. Edited August 1, 2020 by Makarovs bb x screens Quinn010 1 Link to comment

It even says "One of the worst misconceptions that one can take away from this article is that these are the only Pokémon usable on hyper offense teams. This is completely untrue; hyper offense teams have many different options that can be put to use. " You should also read:; "Sweepers rely completely on setting up, and after they have done so, they are able to wreak havoc during a game." Now let me ask you: How do they set up easier? That's right, with a support mon on the back. edit: In that same link you offered, they share you a sample HO team, that by coincidence has a bold supporter celebi.

Wobbuffet wasn't banned for being broken. It was banned for being uncompetitive, which is truly different. Screens aren't uncompetitive, so why you comparing these 2 things? Link to comment
RysPicz Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 If anything, we could be discussing this kind of team under "unhealthy" characteristics unless someone can prove that electrode is a support uber (which it probably isn't). If Trode is gone, we'll find some other screen setters, such as Serperior for example. I didn't really play much UU lately due to family reasons so I might be lacking the necessary experience and I'm not very fond of talking about stuff I don't know much about, so the potential solution to the issue at hand is something we all would need to think about. I do admit that seeing one same team over and over again (and you can see 5 mons from that particular team being used almost in 1/5 battles!) is wrong and does not help the metagame to evolve, restricts diversity and kills people's creativity. Why would they make a team of their own if they can put their hands on a team which has proven time after time that it's incredibly good against every kind of team archetype in the tier? Kinda reminds me of vgc16 situation where we kept seeing P Groudon/ Megamence/ Mega Kanga/ Smee/ Xern/ Talonflame like 70% of the time. Quinn010 1 Link to comment

Catman16 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) I play volt-turn and tbh if you know what you're doing and you execute it right, screens can be very manageable, in my case, I try to keep as much momentum as possible, even if they setup screens, partly to stall and mostly to prevent setups. A +2 Hera guts boosted always hits hard and most screens teams can't switch (won't enjoy it either way) into it. Idk where I am going with this and take my word with a grain of salt, I am Frosteye after all. Edited August 1, 2020 by Catman16 Sun Screens, now that's what makes me wanna die.
