I don't know if this has been discussed before (or if something like this is currently in place), but something that could be worth adding is a Suggestion Box for the Tournament forum, where people can suggest possible ideas for tournaments. It would make it easier to see if an idea has merit...

This discussion was sort of developing in the swine flu vaccine topic, but this is a far more interesting topic so I think it needs its own thread. What do you think about mandatory vaccines? Is the government justified in forcing people to get vaccines? Personally, I think that maintaining...

<p>Double-Edge is Marowak's most reliable attack, doing solid damage to everything that isn't Rock, Steel, or Ghost-type. However, Ghosts are fairly uncommon in UU, and Rock and Steel-types will be reluctant to switch into Marowak for fear of Earthquake, giving Double-Edge useful neutral...

I don't play OU that often, mainly because I never really got that good at OU team-building, but I've decided that I'm going to try to ladder to vote on the Suspect Test vote for Latias, so I updated a slightly older team. This team I've been using has worked alright (I think it's won about five...

There aren't too many UU warstories around here, so I thought I'd remedy that by writing a warstory for a battle I had recently against opponent B.O.E. The battle was very short and fast-paced, lasting only twenty turns, so it shouldn't be too hard to read through the end unless I'm that dull of...

I haven't written an RMT in a while, but I'm going to give it a try because I really, really like this team and would like suggestions on it because it's slightly outdated it (I originally built it in July IIRC). I had built this team because the new tier changes (Weezing, Venusaur, Articuno...

I was itching to try out the new post-Platinum ubers metagame, so I decided to build a new team. I wanted to have a central strategy to the team, and scrolling through the new tutor moves of ubers, I saw Outrage Dialga and was inspired to create this team. After some playtesting, I made some...

This has been my favorite UU lead to use, so I thought I'd write up a Peer Edit. I'm not sure if it really needs a Peer Edit, but I thought I'd post it all the same. I originally had this with Stealth Rocks, and decided to throw on Toxic Spikes almost as an afterthought (Toxic Spikes probably...

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/dialga I've been using this set to great success in ubers for some time, so I thought I'd write up a peer edit for it. I apologize if someone already made a Peer Edit for this set. [SET] name: Choice Scarf move 1: Draco Meteor move 2: Thunder move 3: Dragon...

I've bene itching to try Doubles lately, and since TheMaskedNitpicker posted his warstory, I've finally decided to make a Doubles team. I have next to zero doubles experience, and I know most of you don't play Doubles, but I'd appreciate advice all the same. At a Glance: Infernape @ Focus...

After testing Registeel in ubers, I've decided to revise the current Registeel uber set. I've never found Shadow Claw to be very useful, and it should be emphasized more that Reigsteel is a support Pokemon and not a tank. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/registeel [SET] name: Uber Support...

Updating the Choice Specs set, which I feel does not give the best coverage. I'm also adding a Rest-Talk set, which I have used in my recent stall team to great success. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/jirachi [SET] name: Choice Specs move 1: Psychic move 2: Thunderbolt move 3: Grass Knot /...

In the desperation to cover Deoxys-E, it appears the "bulky offense" stly of play is spreading to other tiers, and UU has caught the plague. Could the ill effects of the clearly broken Deoxys-E be even more damaging? Okay, controversial opinions are done, now on to the team. The strategy is to...

So I've recently been playing a lot of UU battles, and decided I'd take a break and try to get back into OU. I made a stall team, my first one I've ever made in OU (I had a stall team in UU though), and it's been working pretty well for me. A couple of problems I noticed though: Lack of a...

Here's another UU analysis I had written up but never got around to posting. At first I was just going to add a few sets, but then I ended to rewriting the analysis. --- [SET] name: Curse move 1: Curse move 2: Poison Jab move 3: Brick Break / Ice Punch move 4: Explosion / Shadow Sneak item...

I had a pretty good stall team for UU, but lately it hasn't been doing so well. It was losing about 3/4 of its games after doing so well for me for a while. I decided to break the ice by simply building new teams. I built four new teams total, and out of them, this one was the most successful...

I've decided to do a Peer Edit for Probopass because the analysis it has now is really lacking in my opinion, and I doubt that the UU metagame had settled when it was written. I didn't change the Counters section, I didn't know whether I should include it but I felt it would be safer to include...

This is a guide I had previously written on another site, but I thought it might be useful here. This is a guide I wrote to EVing efficiently. Some things that I feel could be improved: *The tone is not very formal in some parts *I think it could use a Conclusion Some notes: *The damage...
