Just here to say that Drought, Drizzle, and Mewnium Z are legal in this metagame. More posts in the near future!

"Hlelo"

The teambuilder should be straight forward in it's ease of use, so when incompatible move combinations only appear when validated, it adds unnecessary complications to it's use. Possibly replacing the illegal move's description with the red text indicator could help, or possibly a streak through...

Pokemon's typings had always interested me and are a key component to pokemon battles, but what if they did exist at all. All the types for moves and pokemon are replaced with the "typeless" type, so there is no weaknesses or resistances, resisted or effective moves, and no immunities. Certain...

I had always found it interesting when pokemon from lower tiers made appearances in highers ones, so I felt I would propose a meta game around that. I don't have a good name for it yet, but a team has to be comprised of 1 OU/UUBL, UU/RUBL, RU/NUBL, NU/PUBL, PU/ZUBL, and untiered/NFE/LC mon to...

I think it goes without saying that some RUBL mons should be re-evaluated, personally, Drampa seems to be enough for the tier now that Steelix and Copperajah are back, and with the increased power level of the tier exceeding Drampa's capabilities of dominating.

Now some of you may wonder why did I get into DPP, after all, it is the most logical step after GSC (since ADV is already covered in-depth), and my answer to that lies in new information that surfaces to me about the new placement of certain previous OU mons. Here's the thread (...

I gladly feel satisfied with the GSC UUBL tier that it is today, it feels fleshed out enough to warrant me to move my time to another gen, which just so happens to be USUM UUBL. Its list is slightly smaller than that of GSC UUBL, but size doesn't equate to nuance, but the mons do, having...

So since no harm is done when Pokemon move between UUBL and OU, is it fair that some Pokemon move between them to more accurately represent the metagame today, this helps newcomers understand what threats are important to a metagame, besides if OU stands for Overused, and some of the Pokemon in...

I am interested in if pokemons' tier placements change if used enough or not enough in certain gens, because I've seen Moltres in gen 3 move from UUBL to OU and Victreebel in gen 1 move from UU to OU, and I've seen Raikou move from OU to UUBL in gen 3, but then why hasn't Clefable or Nidoqueen...

How do they decide what goes to UU, and what goes to RU, how come some of the mons skip UU and drop further?

I will use this as an excuse to write about spikes in GSC UUBL, and the effect it has on the metagame. But first I will note how the spikes metagame works in the tier above. It is a complicated dance of spikers, spike removers, ghost type pokemon that prevent the removal of spikes, and pursuit...
