    FWG Core Discussion

    Those following regional results have probably noticed that Fire/Water and Fire/Water/Grass cores are big at the moment. For those who haven't been following the results and discussion, this essentially boils down to: Fire's good resistance to Fairy and offensive match up against Steel, Water's...

    Artwork for our Live Programs

    XY UU Beta Discussion (Read post #32)

    Approved by me also kokoloko and Arcticblast With the XY OU metagame slowly but surely taking shape, we have usage statistics reliable enough to create a XY UU Beta tier. This tier is not official and is not even close to balanced. No suspect tests will be run, and the only changes to the tier...

    UU C&C Needs

    Mew (QC 4/4) (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>After residing in Uber for the DPP era, Mew finds itself in the odd position of being demoted two tiers to the UU tier. While Mew still has its classic movepool that features every TM and move tutor move in the game, it cannot make up for its bland Psychic typing and decent, but...

    Bronzong (QC 3/3) (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>Bronzong's outstanding base 116 Defense and Special Defense stats, combined with its unique typing in the tier which grants it eight resistances and two immunities, make it an impressive tank. Bronzong takes powerful attacks from all-out attackers such as Cincinno, Flygon, and...

    UU Cores: Community Article

    Introduction Hey UUers! The only UU Core thread is not maintained, ancient, and sees only spotty activity. Instead of replacing it with another thread that would probably only see spotty activity, I've decided to start a project that will create a lasting product. This is a community project...

    Rotom-F (QC 3/3) (GP 2/2)

    [Overview] <p>The reintroduction of Snow Warning and Abomasnow to UU has given Rotom-F a new life, as it can now reliably use its powerful STAB Blizzard. While its stats aren't off the charts, they aren't bad either. It outspeeds many good Pokemon, such as Heracross, Kingdra, and Nidoking, its...
