    Gen 1 (1450) Making Nidoking work in OU

    LET ME COOK OK so, what are we doing here? Are we just using a garbo-mon just for the sake of using it? The question when using any unconventional mon, is "why am I using this mon, instead of counterparts that may be better than it?" In OU, there are 2 groups of mons that I can easily compare...

    Other Metagames SV PU (peak top 15) Banette cosplays as a Nidoking

    OK so let's just state some facts. PU is filled to the brim with grass, electric, normal and poison types. The Banette set I'm presenting you today is meant to be kind of an anti meta tech against some of the most common mons of those types, the big names that come to mind immediately being like...

    Other Metagames SVNU Yall are sleeping on covert cloak in this tier.

    OK so there's barely any Nu teams posted here, so I thought I'd take a crack at teambuilding. I've had a lot of success with this team, and while it may not appear super unique off the bat with how many of the top meta threats the team uses, there are a few unique twists I've added. I'm posting...

    SV OU Gengar Ghost Spam. I swear I will make Gengar work (1700)

    Ok so Gengar is my favorite pokemon. I've been trying since the beginning of this gen to get it to work, and when I first started I assumed it would be just a meme. And like it kind of is. But the more I played with it (it's been on every team I've made since this gen came out), overall it fared...

    Skuntank from S --> A+ So this has been bugging me for a little while, and IDK how controversial this statement is, but I really think skuntank needs to drop from S rank. A little while ago, I found myself noticing that skuntank just really felt a lot weaker than it had a while ago. It feels to...

    SM PU Protect The President! Top 10 PU team

    So I’m a long time player of PU and a longer time player of NU. I’m personally not a huge fan of gen 7 NU, but PU is easily my favourite tier of this gen. Looking back in the past, it’s pretty funny to see some of the crazy threats that were hanging around in NU doing the exact same thing now in...

    SM PU Abomasnow doesn't need a mega to win

    So I'm really sad that PU RMT's are posted so few and far between. The Pallosand ban way back when basically made me scrap every team I had lol, so I thought it was high time I get to work on building another team. So this team started off really weird, I just got super excited on using this...

    SM OU HP Ice Xard and Golem-A (1700 peak)

    Whenever somebody tells me "X pokemon counters Y", I always get a strong urge to create some creation that can prove people wrong. Back in Naganadel meta when people told me AV Ttar counters Gengar, I used a Z focus punch set. When people told me AV Magearna countered Koko, I became a fan of the...

    VGC Slush-Room Abomasnow Squad (very new to VGC)

    Yo what it do lads. I've been playing singles competitively for just about as long as I can remember, but I've just recently grown an interest in playing VGC. I'm super new to the format and super bad at it. I've been looking everywhere for VGC 2018 sample teams but I cannot find any resources...

    SM OU Z Focus PUNCH Gengar 1700 Peak

    RIP well the team was dank while it lasted.

    SM OU Z Focus PUNCH Gengar 1700 Peak

    So we're chilling in the middle of the Naganadel meta, which as a result means we're also stuck in a Ttar meta. Now, nay-sayers have told me "you FOOL, you can't be using Gengar in a Ttar meta". And to those nay-sayers, I've whipped up the super secret anti-ttar tech. Nobody can tell me I can't...

    SM OU Gengar+Lopunny Hyper Offense

    Hey, so I've been really out of the scene for a while, at least in terms of gen 7. But recently I've been getting kind of back into playing. I played with a bunch of premades to try to adjust to the meta, and then once I felt semi-comfortable I decided to try my hand back at teambuilding since...

    Metagame SM NU Alpha Discussion (read post #153)

    Yo Abomasnow is actually pretty decent at the moment. I think people are forgetting about this mon with all the new mons available, but honestly ice shard has some incredible utility especially with stuff like Yanmega, minior and Tyrantrum running around with the ability to boost their speed or...

    Metagame SM NU Alpha Discussion (read post #153)

    Is it just me or is future sight slowking actually ridiculous? Whan you pair it with something like Virizion or Pangoro it makes switching into fighting types even harder. And like it's not even hard to set up, if you future sight and then switch into something (not only do you get regenerator)...

    Dugtrio in the past has liked trying to fit pursuit onto their set, because dugtrio is there to assasinate stallbreakers. But it can't trap shed shell tapu lele, marowak or gengar with arena trap, meaning these threats can switch out of dugtrio and then easily run havoc later. Pursuit was used...
