I hope the therianthropic use of a semicolon in the title has people reconsidering just how badly they want to use the broken electric snake

i was studying for my exams today when i took a break. the first thought that popped into my head was "man i wish somebody would talk about Rain is Actually Terrible in BW OU; Here's Why"

[Gliggleglug]

Finchanator killed my wife and is holding my kids hostage

[rowletmaboi]

BW is so volatile that FSG can already remake the videos on the gen 5 mons

[DoggRuffDay]

Good video, but you forgot tyranitar is weak to water types.

[seth]

i don’t remember if you made this point in your win rate video but i think win rate is more accurate for the strength of a play style than a particular mon. if a mon onlu appears on one style (like toed on rain or cloy on ho) it’s more appropriate to draw conclusions on how those styles are stacking up in the current meta if you have a sufficient sample

That reuniclus test is so long overdue

as someone who played 1 game of BW OU where i just clicked protect with skarmory in sand, i can confirm

I feel like one of the big reasons for rain getting significantly worse is because many rain threats are still scary enough outside of rain to not require it. The only exceptions I can think of off of the top of my head right now are Tentacruel, Torn I, and Vaporeon. Yeah, Thundo T doesn't get 100% accurate Thunders, but it's still terrifying. Latios doesn't get the appreciated Surf boost, but it still does a fair chunk to Heatran and Tyranitar with it. Keldeo still hits most things for neutral damage and has Toxic for Gastrodon and Jellicent. Ferrothorn doesn't get the nice reduction to fire damage, but it is still immune to sand and is an amazing defensive pokemon even without the help of rain

The solution seems easy, rain teams just need to drop politoed.

Finchinator made me rob someone & get 6 years probation

[uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh]

I guess for balancing now we need to not only unban groudon but also kyogre

[thepunisher]

After years BW is finally changing to become a more balanced tier I never thought it would happen

[lumberjack]

Just want to say as someone who was making very cringe arguments to ban Reuniclus back when we were still calling it Rankurusu it's validating to see it finally on the chopping block

[scarl]

The whole weather thing makes me wonder if anyone has ever used Politoed and Tyranitar on the same team in any tournament. I feel like it would be funny.

[shortpitched]

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

my opinion on rain in BW OU just dropped

[Moe_Posting_Chad]

Everyone always says they are looking at the end of the world. All throughout time... But I really think we might be seeing the first act of the end.

So are you just not gonna show your face anymore after edging us for a week straight

Things are getting heated in the fifth generation, folks
