    SV OU Hisuian Sun

    :zoroark-hisui: Hisuian Sun :walking-wake: Hello, all. It's been a hot minute (years, in fact) since I touched OU, and with Hisuian Zoroark now being available, I figured now was as good a time as any to end my OU retirement (at least until HZ becomes legal in VGC; we'll see how long that...

    Rejected Fake Out & Attack IV

    As can be seen on the attached Salazzle set (a standard VGC 17 set), Fake Out is causing the Attack IV to be set to 31 and is also causing the teambuilder to suggest Hasty. I know why this is happening; the Attack IV defaults to zero unless the Pokemon's set has a physical move (which Fake Out...

    VGC Kit Kats

    Kit Kats VGC18 RMT by Adamant Zoroark Hey everyone! Been a while since I posted a team.

    VGC Girls, Girls, Girls

    I've been spending a lot of time in VGC since I started playing it in 2014 just experimenting with various teams, trying to figure out what works for me. Then I finally figured it out - "You dummy, hyper offense worked for you in Singles! You should try it in VGC." And, sure enough, it worked...

    Serious Hearing loss

    Okay, I'll cut right to the chase: On my way back to California to head to college, I found myself with a sudden onset of tinnitus (ringing in ears). Given my history of having listened to loud music through headphones during high school, as well as going to concerts without hearing protection...

    ORAS OU Swan Song

    Swan Song Final ORAS OU team by Adamant Zoroark 2013. X and Y came out. Time flies quick. It feels like it was only yesterday I was waiting outside of GameStop at a midnight release, and now we have new games on the horizon. It's been a good run. The metagame has had some down points...

    Serious Dealing with divorce

    Hi. I realize this is a very touchy topic to some people, but I'm in quite a bit of need of help. Basically, on Saturday I found out my parents are getting divorced. To be honest, I saw this coming for years; they always seemed to have something to fight about every god damn day, to the point...

    VGC Cirice (Top 8 @ Tespa West)

    Okay, so... VGC 2016 is crazy. I mean, people complained about CHALK last year, but this metagame has even less variety. So that's what this team's about. I'm taking a pretty standard team archetype (because let's be real, you can't really use anything else) and adding a slight twist to it...

    ORAS OU Army of Me

    Hello. So seeing as I had a #86-peaking heavy offense team in BW2 OU, it seems offense is what I do best. However, the odd thing is, like 99% of the teams I've made for XY OU and ORAS OU haven't been that, or at least have been considerably bulkier than the teams I grew accustomed to in DPP OU...
