Leech Seedless Mega Venu is a much more viable option now, though it also lost a reason to use Giga Drain so idt we'll see much change on that front. hippo also doesn't 2hko mega venusaur like band tar does). Mega Venusaur absolutely LOVES this too, now that the sand that hurts it's recovery is gone (EDIT: forgot about hippowdon the A+ mon lmao, though tbf not all hippos are sand stream for this very reason, especially on mega venu balances. Salamence also greatly appreciates not being checked by rocks Mega Tar, though at the same time the freedom to run 100+ scarfers not named Keldeo or Terrakion kinda sucks for it (though tbh are there even any other viable scarfers over base 100?). Dragonium will probably still be nice but Electrium to nail Celesteela, Skarmory and Empoleon is pretty neat. We're probably gonna see an uptick in Weavile or scarf Krookodile (who's actually p solid for offensive role compression) on balance teams. In other news, Latias can run sets other than Dragonium and is now officially back to being a threat to Celesteela balance.

We can run non-balance teams without Urshifu or Keldeo, I repeat, we can run non balance teams without Urshifu or Keldeo! Urshifu is still amazing ofc, it's still the best scarfer in the tier and band is freed up a bit more now that it doesn't have to worry about getting too chipped by faster mons and getting blown past by +1 MTar EQ, especially from Ada MTar which you typically found on screens.
Mega bruh moment free#
Sad that we lost regular Tyranitar, band Tar was a champ and was a huge threat for fat teams not packing Keldeo, Urshifu or Hippowdon, but if it means being free of that busted mon it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
