Hey, I added some more of the changes into the analysis, going more in-depth into Submission and Substitute, removing Reflect Normals from the checks and counter section, and overall making the analysis focus more on sweeping. Please let me know if this is ready for the GP. Thanks again for all...

Hey, sorry again for the long-delay, I have recently started a new job and that has occupied a lot of my free-time. That being said I have revamped the analysis. I moved Slash to OO and Substitute to the main set, as Slash really doesn't hit hard enough to pressure Lax/Chansey and I didn't put...

Hey guys, sorry again for another long delay, this time a bad Windows update forced my computer out of commission (and I can't really post well on my phone). I revamped the entire Grass-types counter section to more thoroughly and accurately describe the Eggy matchup. You guys made some great...

Hey, I revised everything you mentioned. I know I was a bit vague with the Exeggutor stuff, so I clarified why I call it a coinflip (which are the odds Sandslash has to beat an Eggy switching in as it SDs in my personal experience). I removed mention of Gengar in the Checks and Counter section...

If you add Counter, mention how it also works against all Hidden Powers, though to be honest there's very little Sandslash would actually be better off using Counter against as opposed to just attacking straight up or switching out.

I'm obviously not a QC person or anything, but maybe it would be a good idea to note that Earthquake is its most powerful move without drawbacks? It's stronger than STAB Low Kick and doesn't have the accuracy or recoil problems of Submission. I know pretty much the only mons in OU that are hit...

Hey sorry for the delay in responding, as finals got the better of me. I implemented most of what you suggested, as a lot of it is very pertinent information and valid grammar tweaks. I am pretty tired at the moment though so definitely still needs a bit of cleaning up. Thanks for giving it a...

Yeah I just copied that sentence from further down and pasted it in, it flows much better with how you put it, so I fixed it lol. Thanks again.

Thanks for the input guys! I'll get to work right away. I was unsure about adding the calcs, they're really helpful but definitely makes sense why it's not a good idea to just throw them in there. And you are absolutely right about no Slash or Hyper Beam being very vulnerable to Exeggutor, so I...

[OVERVIEW] Sandslash is often overlooked in RBY OU, but it realizes a dangerous niche with its unique combination of typing, movepool, and speed tier. After a Swords Dance, Sandslash threatens a 2HKO on every Pokemon in the tier, and at base 65 Speed, it is just fast enough to outpace many...

I posted in the discord as well, if it's alright I'd like to reserve the RBY OU Sandslash analysis. PvK Edit: Contact Amaranth and see what he says. It should be ok but he likes to screen drafts first in case. Edit: Discussed it with Amaranth and was given the ok to reserve RBY OU Sandslash.

Just using my bump, also a couple of replays in case it helps. Both I think really showcase the power of the Sandslash + Tauros + Zapdos late-game core. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen1ou-1314723971 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen1ou-1307473583

Pelipper doesn't get Drizzle in Gen 5. If you're playing some other type of game, this isn't really the place to be.

This was really cool! Surprised but happy to see Amphy at number 1 in Gen 2. I liked it so much I decided to hack it in when I played Crystal haha. Also surprised Crobat is on there too, as I don't think they ever tell you how it evolves (and Golbat is pretty bad and kind of annoying) but I...

Introduction Welcome! This is my play on "Hyper Offense" in Gen 1, as my team lacks the Lax and Chansey that can make Gen 1 OU games drag on for so long. Although this hurts the viability of this team in the eyes of some, I feel like the team is strong enough on its own merit in the context of...

Hey, this team is cool, and Moltres does have a very cool niche as an unexpected Rain abuser with 100% accurate Hurricanes and the ability to still OHKO Ferrothorn even in rain. That being said, Moltres is outsped by a lot of other common Choice Scarfers, namely Jirachi, Lati@s, Keldeo, and even...

Hey cool team, I've run similar stuff in the past, and lead Jolteon can really put in some work. I just want to warn you though that once most Rhydons scare out an electric type on the switch, they're not going to use Earthquake. Much more often, they are going to either Rock Slide, Body Slam...

Let's Take It to the Stage! As many people know, Gen 3 UU is a very diverse metagame, with a lot viable play styles, and it's said that nearly every pokemon available in the format has a viable niche. After hearing so much about this format, I decided to give it a go using a combination of my...

Hey this team is awesome! Love SD mons, love Kingler, awesome. Since you're obviously a betting man, I just want to add that Thunder on Zapdos is quite viable; some people run Thunder over Agility and keep T-Bolt, while others use Agility (or very rarely another move, like Rest, Reflect, Light...
