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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Howdy do gents. First of all, props to whoever gets the reference. Doing something a little different here. This doesn't classify as a meme entirely, but it's definitely a bit unorthodox. Back in the good old days of RBY, Tauros was basically the best pokemon in the game. Over the years it sort...

I've been testing around with Gengar a lot this gen. I think it's an incredibly underrated pokemon, and one of the best "partner mons". What I mean by that is the amount of things that switch into Gengar are very limited, and there are several good pokemon that can check or counter the pretty...

What is up Hariyama Alert Nation. I'm your host, Dazzling Gleamstar... Let's get right into the RMT! So about three weeks ago I posted a very rough draft of a team I had initially constructed as a meme team. But taking the criticisms I got there, and ideas from people who helped me test the...

What is up, Hariyama Alert Nation. I'm your host, Dazzling Gleamstar... Let's get right into the RMT! I've very used to playing more balanced playstyles. The transition from oras has been a bit rocky for me, not wanting to descend into full stall but also being not the most comfortable with...

So for the majority of this gen, I've just been making fun teams to make use of the new pokemon. I've always used them knowing full well they weren't teams that would get me very far on the ladder. But the time's come where I kind of want to put my effort into making a team that's competitive in...

What is up Hariyama Alert Nation. I'm your host, DAZZLING GLEAMSTAR, LET'S GET ROOOOOIGHT INTO THE RMT! Also in the news, this is my first gen 7 pre-bank team. In general, didn't used to play prebank because pokebank OU is going to eventually be the standard OU (unless I'm dumb and am missing...

So in general, I stick more towards the more balanced play styles. Very rarely do I dabble in offense or hyper offense, but every now and again I get an it that just can't be scratched without playing a little bit of adrenaline pumping offense. Sustainability and reliability as switch ins be...

So, way back in the day I used to run a grassy terrain team as sort of a meme team. It was really fun to use, and I would always tell my friends how much I wished there was an actual terrain starter much like their are weather starters. And it seems at long last, my dreams have been answered...

WHAT IS UP HARIYAMA ALERT NATION. I'M YOUR HOST, DAZZLING GLEAMSTAAAAR, LEEEEEET'S GET ROIGHT INTO THE RMT! So this is a really old PU team I made a while back. I used to use it all the time and had a blast using it. It really felt like (to me) a perfect combination of "standard" and...

OK, so a friend of mine and me wanted to make a fun volt-turn into mega zard team. We didn't like our options of electric types though; rotom is on every team so we didn't want to use that again, manectric takes up a mega slot, and raikou is bad. We took some time to think, and it finally dawned...
