I lost to a team built around Scarf Urshifu. It used the following mons:
Florges Gliscor Milotic Arcanine Urshifu Mega Ampharos My strategy against Urshifu is usually to bait out a Wicked Blow with Gyarados, but I hadn't anticipated that Florges had Aromatherapy as all of my status spreading was quickly worn out. I should have kept boosting since I could have swept the team had I done so, but I misplayed and tried to status it. I ended up losing the battle after KO Milotic, Florges, and Gliscor. Teams like this aren't easily exploitable without a faster scarfer, and unfortunately I cannot run one. A close battle was with this team which was less able to handle paralysis.

Challenging battle, but I didn't have to dynamax or use my last two mons (Darmanitan-G and Sandslash-A).

Tyranitar has (finally) dropped to UU, as has Aegislash.
Smogon is considering suspect testing Zamazenta-Crowned in natdex OU. This is not a drill.

Urshifu-S, Mega Metagross, Ash-Greninja, Tornadus-T, and Darm-G have all been banned from natdex OU.
I'm starting to think Gen VIII is a trainwreck and may have ruined Pokemon forever.

This looks like a tough fight, a stupid strong defensive core of Ferrothorn-Chansey-Gliscor-Heatran. I better be prepared for a long battle filled with tons of switches and chip damage.

Incredible. This is one of those replays Talon or Daisy would post.

A single crit turns the tide of the game... and my opponent isn’t happy about it ^^;
I know how it feels dude, better luck next time 😔 |

Crits are stupid. I faced a guy spamming Cosmic Power Clefable and I wasted all my Fishious Rend and Earthquake PP and didn't get ONE crit.

Smogon is discussing banning Heavy Duty Boots.
Outside of Cinderace and Volcarona, it's been realized that boots are insanely good on stall, of all things. The primary means of dealing with stall are hazards, since a stall player's greatest strength is switching to absorb hits. It's to the point that for the first time in a decade, Blissey is seeing more use than Chansey, since over the course of a match Blissey will be taking less damage from hazards than Chansey, putting less pressure to use Wish/Softboiled and setting up more opportunities for offensive Teleports. This isn't to speak of HDB overwhelming usage on Flying and Fire Pokemon. Boots and the DLC-awarded Dual Wingbeat had Scyther rise from PU all the way to UU - it temporarily occupied the same tier as its evolution, Scizor. Magearna is currently being suspected, after that it's likely Cinderace, Urshifu, and Volcarona. I personally think they should do Urshifu first, then look at boots because boots are what make Cinderace and Volcarona possible.

Volcarona was already crazy before Boots though. Cinderace I don't actually think is good enough to get booted (it doesn't have the crazy versatility that Protean Greninja does) but Volc definitely deserves a suspect.

Cinderace is really oppressive right now and is arguably better than Greninja. Three 120+ BP STAB moves courtesy of Libero and a fast STAB U-Turn + boots ensure it's always pressuring something or doing powerful chip on the pivot.
Zeraora is also wearing boots, and it + Cinderace just come in and pivot, pivot, pivot. The most broken Magearna set is Choice Specs because if Mag can't kill something right away, she uses Volt Switch for massive chip + offensive momentum. The take home of this boots meta is that Stealth Rock punished pivoting which would otherwise result in long sequences of switchs and chip damage, and with boots and a high distribution of pivot moves, the boots quickly pay more dividends than leftovers or Life Orb ever did. Clefable is back at the centre of things too since it's naturally immune to hazards, is often hit with Knock Off and can teleport into something right away. Hard to imagine this post-DLC meta is even more broken than fat balance + Dracovish but here we are.

I would have been screwed if that user knew how to use Toxapex properly.
I wonder if pex actually gets banned? It's true that it's insanely oppressive, despite being so passive.

Venusaur Gyarados Porygon2 Tyranitar Torkoal Hippowdon Magnezone Togekiss Excadrill Whimsicott Incineroar Mimikyu Rillaboom Cinderace Indeedee Dragapult

Infuriating, I had no ice resists aside from Crawdaunt and everything else was weak to it. All of my mons were slower than Jynx as well. So I couldn't simply dodge around the sleep like you normally would.

Massive mismatch, there's no reason my opponent should have lost with that team. Especially not that badly.

...I wanna know how the heck this guy managed to get to such a high point value in the first place. They were clearly scared of switching into the Rocks despite regardless of the current matchup, badly flubbed their Type interactions twice, and popped their Dynamax right off the bat without considering that they had a few other pokemon that could use it way better than something like a Type:Null! That was painful to watch, for sure.
