It's a shame I'm not phoopes because the "I did it again" joke would absolutely rule here with the double post. Anyway, RBY recently formed a ZU council (composed of Sabelette, Gangsta Spongebob, gastlies, NotVeryCake, Medeia, torkonpeter, BeatsBlack) in the wake of two major tournaments -...

Hello friends, with phoopes's recent departure as RoA leader he's left it to me to keep RBY lower tiers running well, and boy am I busy. On the recent RBY PU Council tiering survey, Arcanine was the most controversial Pokemon with a rating of 3.86/5, and so the RBY PU council (Sabelette...

Approved by Pet Mods Staff here! This project is in no way affiliated with the official Smogon CAP Project. Partially adapted from DuoM2's original RBY CAP intro. Art by The Faz Welcome to RBY CAP, revived! This is a project to enhance the RBY (Generation 1) metagame by slowly creating new...

Hey everyone! Since every RBY tier between Ubers and ZU now sees consistent play in both individual and team tournaments, I thought it'd be fun to kick off a tournament for RBY LC and go back to a time before Little Cup existed in Stadium 2, a time when Porygon, Onix, and Scyther were not...

First off, huge thanks to Shellnuts for helping me understand a whole lot of assembly instructions because I was literally looking up assembly as I dug through code to try to figure this shit out. With that out of the way, story time! Yesterday on the RBY Discord, it came up that the first 10...

god help me i'm becoming a policy review main gg First off, I want to acknowledge this has been talked about several times before and this will probably elicit groans from people. However, I think RBY especially requires a cart-accurate Sleep Clause, and anything else warps the OU and Ubers...

It's better to burn out than to fade away Hey y'all. I won't bury the lede here - I'm stepping down from being an RBY mod, on both the forums and on Discord. I'm not quitting RBY, as if I ever could. I'll still be sticking around on councils and playing tournaments for now. I'll also finish...

So just a moment ago the decision was made to make RBY BO1 in SPL: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/allow-players-to-vote-on-bo3-vs-bo1-in-team-tours.3717195/post-9902346 Sorry but this decision is ridiculous and totally ignores anything that RBYers want. Unanimously this decision has been...

UPDATE 2: Final Results Post here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/rby-awards-2023-final-voting.3732518/post-9933627 Mr.Bossaru was removed from Best Meme out of respect but left in the categories where he was represented more positively. Rest in peace. UPDATE: Nominations are now closed...

Guess who's back I'm going to keep this short because everyone on the voter list probably has already made up their minds in the last couple tournaments. The RBY UU council decided to test a sleep unban in the wake of other meta changes including banning Hypno and Lapras with heavy support from...

Art by grape tylenol Welcome to the inaugural Low Tier Circuit finals! 8 of the top low tiers players across Ubers, UU, NU, and PU will compete for the championship in a BO5, Single Elimination Tournament. The seeds are as follows: 1. MrSoup 2. Sabelette 3. Ice Yazu 4. Torchic 5. YBW 6...

[OVERVIEW] Pinsir sits in an odd place in RBY NU. It hits absurdly hard with Slash and threatens a Swords Dance sweep, tearing through foes much more effectively than Charizard thanks to its significantly higher Attack while still outspeeding competitors like Kingler and Kabutops as well as...

[OVERVIEW] Gastly is a niche but unique Pokemon that brings valuable role compression and pivoting ability to a team. As the only usable Ghost-type in NU, its immunity to the plethora of Normal-type attacks, such as Body Slam, Slash, and Hyper Beam, gives it many opportunities for entry. Its...

[OVERVIEW] Magneton is the hardest-hitting Electric-type in NU, competing with Electrode for a team slot. Magneton brings a number of advantages over its faster competition; firstly, it deals devastating damage, OHKOing Kingler outright with Thunderbolt and having rolls to OHKO every Water- or...

[OVERVIEW] Arbok's access to Glare and Wrap creates a small niche for it in NU. It's a faster Wrap user than Dragonair, outspeeding key targets like Blastoise and Kingler, and while Glare is less accurate than Thunder Wave, it's also able to paralyze Ground-types, allowing Arbok to outspeed...

[OVERVIEW] Slowpoke is an interesting niche pick in RBY NU. It has access to the incredibly powerful combination of Thunder Wave and Amnesia, and its solid Water / Psychic typing lets it resist the plethora of Water-, Ice-, Fire-, and Psychic-type moves from attackers like Blastoise, Seadra...
