Alright so it's been like forever since the Dreadnoughts, literally forever, not like three years or so. This generation's brought a lot of changes and insecurities but my love for stall is more eternal than my love for a wife I'll never have. Alright normally this is where people...

Don't you love what the current meta has done to stall teams? Hamstringing us into that stupid little Espeon-wannabe bouncing hazards and the like all over the place? Good lord I thought I hated Hoopa but there's just 0 fun in stall when you have to use that same 5 mon core. My objective has...

Buckle Up because we're bringing New Meaning to "Give 'Em the Belt". In Christianity, God is the Father, son and holy ghost. If we go really far back, Zeus, the main god, was the father for multiple gods including Dionysus. Also the god of lightning and thunder. Here's a surprise: All those...

Today started up my college classes and I'll doubtless have no time to study. However, I've been sitting on this team for some time and it was about time I show this one off. When Aegislash was kicked out of OU, the question of how stall was to survive was kind of up in the air. Especially with...

I've been working on a few different stall teams for a while and it's been very hit/miss. I mean, I'm not sticking any bit to the general idea so they've been terribly abstract for the most part, but hit/miss nonetheless. However, there have been a few gems that I have to show for my work, this...

A week ago, I was told something that literally changed my life: Stall isn't the only play style in pokemon. So naturally, I was going "What the fuck? Styles besides stall exist in pokemon?" all over the OU chat and mass confusion ensued. Apparently, there's this play style called "Not Stall"...

Well hello there! I've been planning and waiting to post this team for a while now, though admittedly it has been in concept for far longer than in form. But when 'concept' was a 2.5 month long trial period of scouting OU threats and working to condense all of them into six pokemon, I feel that...

Homer Simpson has nothing on Slowking's doughnut eating ability. Overview ======== With the devastating power possessed by special attackers such as Landorus and Mega Charizard Y, the need for Pokemon with good Special Defense has steadily increased. Coupled with Assault Vest and a good...

Hello, as a lot of Smogon is gearing up for OST, I haven't been showing off some of my teams I'll be preparing/using for that tourney. However, this team is more something to prove a concept that I was discussing in the Stall topic in Overused. The basis of this specific team is outlined here...

A ship cannot sail easily through rough waters, but one can manage such if a captain is smart and capable. However, asking a captain to sail through a sheet can only result in the ship tanking like the Titanic. Special ships are needed to break the sheets of ice. These ships require a...

Brace yourself, the old clippers, war galleons and steamboats have come to make their cannons heard in the stormy seas of the pokebank. Bolstered with shiny cannons from distant lands, these old interceptors are more dangerous. Weapons archived as a footnote in history because of their sheer...

There are many places in our pokemon universe that could send chills up your spine if you even thought about them. Of course, as someone who prides themselves as a top tier adventurer, I've made it a point not only to visit these places but to steal their secrets. Recently, I scoured the five...
