    Gen 1 (1450) Making Nidoking work in OU

    LET ME COOK OK so, what are we doing here? Are we just using a garbo-mon just for the sake of using it? The question when using any unconventional mon, is "why am I using this mon, instead of counterparts that may be better than it?" In OU, there are 2 groups of mons that I can easily compare...

    Other Metagames SV PU (peak top 15) Banette cosplays as a Nidoking

    OK so let's just state some facts. PU is filled to the brim with grass, electric, normal and poison types. The Banette set I'm presenting you today is meant to be kind of an anti meta tech against some of the most common mons of those types, the big names that come to mind immediately being like...

    Other Metagames SVNU Yall are sleeping on covert cloak in this tier.

    OK so there's barely any Nu teams posted here, so I thought I'd take a crack at teambuilding. I've had a lot of success with this team, and while it may not appear super unique off the bat with how many of the top meta threats the team uses, there are a few unique twists I've added. I'm posting...

    SV OU Gengar Ghost Spam. I swear I will make Gengar work (1700)

    Ok so Gengar is my favorite pokemon. I've been trying since the beginning of this gen to get it to work, and when I first started I assumed it would be just a meme. And like it kind of is. But the more I played with it (it's been on every team I've made since this gen came out), overall it fared...

    Resource USUM PU Viability Rankings

    Skuntank from S --> A+ So this has been bugging me for a little while, and IDK how controversial this statement is, but I really think skuntank needs to drop from S rank. A little while ago, I found myself noticing that skuntank just really felt a lot weaker than it had a while ago. It feels to...

    SM PU Protect The President! Top 10 PU team

    So I’m a long time player of PU and a longer time player of NU. I’m personally not a huge fan of gen 7 NU, but PU is easily my favourite tier of this gen. Looking back in the past, it’s pretty funny to see some of the crazy threats that were hanging around in NU doing the exact same thing now in...

    SM PU Abomasnow doesn't need a mega to win

    So I'm really sad that PU RMT's are posted so few and far between. The Pallosand ban way back when basically made me scrap every team I had lol, so I thought it was high time I get to work on building another team. So this team started off really weird, I just got super excited on using this...

    SM OU HP Ice Xard and Golem-A (1700 peak)

    Whenever somebody tells me "X pokemon counters Y", I always get a strong urge to create some creation that can prove people wrong. Back in Naganadel meta when people told me AV Ttar counters Gengar, I used a Z focus punch set. When people told me AV Magearna countered Koko, I became a fan of the...

    VGC Slush-Room Abomasnow Squad (very new to VGC)

    Yo what it do lads. I've been playing singles competitively for just about as long as I can remember, but I've just recently grown an interest in playing VGC. I'm super new to the format and super bad at it. I've been looking everywhere for VGC 2018 sample teams but I cannot find any resources...
