    No build for either of the Mega Raichus?? I find on my normal gameplay that they are extremely useful. Can't they be used in the Ranked too? Any suggestions here in the comment section then? I got an alpha shiny Raichu and the Volt Tackle/Drain Punch seems tempting. But EV wise?

    I saw a player using a normal Metagross with Explosion... They got 11 kills... Metagross is so OP. It should be a pseudo-legendary(if not a legendary). I'm raising my own now for Ranked.

    56 Anonymous Anonymous about 2 monthsReport

    continuing from my post, with Zeraora I’ve won a lot of ranked battles and it carried me to rank A in season 5, despite its Ground Type weakness against Excadrill, I countered back with Close Combat or Focus Blast or Play Rough for Garchomp.
