    No! More! Levitate!

    Other working titles: "I believe I can fly", "Fly me a river", "It's leviOHHsa, not levioSAHH", "We'll all float on", "Will it float?", "David Blaine-mons" (This was approved by The Eevee General btw) Hi all! Ever since abilities came into play in Gen 3, Levitate has given new life to all...

    Other All Gen Battles

    So, something has happened with the release of X and Y: there are six slots for each team, and now, for the first time, there are that many generations of pokemon. What does this mean? Well, it's been almost two decades, but my childhood dream birthed in the release of Gold and Silver has come...

    Move Future Sight & Doom Desire

    In a world where special moves are nerfed and nerfed and nerfed, an exception rises above its brethren: Future Sight now has a whopping BP of 120, with an accuracy of 100. The problem? Its gimmicky "act later" method of damage-dealing. I've actually had a bit of fun with Future Sight in Gen V...

    Item Mega Stone bans: AKA "Soul Dew Clause" on steroids

    With the advent of Mega Evolutions, we find ourselves in an interesting scenario where each individual form change comes with a different item. Smogon has a precedent of banning certain items rather than pokemon to higher tiers: see Latios in OU but Soul Dew in Ubers. This is not a thread...

    Ability Oblivious

    So. Remember Taunt? http://www.smogon.com/bw/abilities/oblivious The above pokemon do not. They're completely unaware, because now Oblivious defends from Taunt as well as Attract. What does this mean? Well, unfortunately, not too many fantastic Pokemon get this ability. But this means that...

    Bluntmons: Pokemon without STABs!

    Howdy all. I'm not gonna lie, this concept exists because I like puns. But regardless, here's an idea for a simple shift that radically changes the game to create a brand-new meta: Bluntmons! The shift? Pokemon may not use any moves which receive a STAB boost. Bullet Punch on Scizor? Nope...

    War Story: MacArthur's Last Stand!

    Wait, seriously? The warstory forum closed down? But I love them. Anyway, I just fought my favorite battle in months. It was awesome. I really enjoyed it. And I've got a feeling that you will too! For those of you that hate it when opponents take the advantage with wacky surprise sets and a...

    Countering Mienshao and Scrafty in UU

    The most obvious counter is Crobat. Not only does he pack a mean Brave Bird, but he resists the hell out of fighting attacks, can't be flinched by Mienshao's Fake Out (and resists his U-turns), and shrugs off Scrafty's Ice Punch unless it's already gotten a few boosts in. This bothers me...

    The secret to ultimate UU stall: Triple Rest! (Peaked at #3)

    I am of a defensive mindset. I spent half my life as a lacrosse goalie (fun fact: helmets do not stop concussions when your coach is a former college star attacker–less fun fact: cups are about as effective as helmets). My favorite football player is Ray Lewis. In Risk, I always hold Australia...

    Most effective/annoying new user of Trick in UU?

    Chandie and Xatu and Sigil, oh my! Trick is friggin everywhere now. I hate trick. Barring Prankster, you can't Taunt scarfers because they outspeed, nor can you set up a sub in time. Can't do anything on the switch to stop it unless you for some reason have a pokemon with Sticky Hold. It...
