Last night I posted a... rather edgelord-y attempt at a joke on the main Smogon Discord concerning Miracle Mineral Solution and its use in supposedly 'curing' autism in an attempt to be funny. Needless to say, I likely offended some people and/or failed to be funny, seeing how quickly I got the...

The challenge description is in the vid. Also, please keep in mind that this and the next few videos (I recorded a little more than an hour of footage) are the first I've done... ever. I hope you all enjoy; I'll be uploading frequently and updating this thread when vids come out. EDIT: Ep. 1 is...

So you people may be wondering, what exactly is "The Toxicroak Effect"? It's simple, it's when a Pokemon is OU or OU-viable not because of any special changes it recieved, but because the metagame around it has adapted so that it is better there. I know of a few Pokemon to which this effect...

Something I've sort of wondered about the legendary Pokemon is which ones are one-of-a-kind 'PokeGods' in-universe, and which ones are just super-rare powerful Pokemon. So I've done what any Smogon-er would do and decided to ask you guys for your opinions/clarification. Here's a few lists I've...

Ok, before anyone deletes/locks this thread, bear with me (though it may be deleted/locked anyways...) As people probably know, Pokemon X/Y have brought changes to certain Pokemon BSTs, as well as changed around a few abilities (i.e no more ST Chandy). What I propose is that we do something...

So, I'm doing this challenge in Emerald that I partly made up. The rules are as follows: -You must only have the six lowest leveled Pokemon in your possession in your party at any given time, and you must switch them out if you are in close enough proximity to a Pokemon center (which means that...

I couldn't find a thread for trivia, so I'm making this one. This thread is for stuff you have observed in Pokemon that others may have missed. I'll start. The founder of La Veyan Satanism was Anton Szandor La Vey. Hydreigon's Japanese name is Sazandora, which can be romanized into...

Hi, this is my first UU team. I made it specifically to counter all of the most used/best Pokemon in UU (according to the usage stats/Viability ranking thread). Also, it lets me use my personal playstyle of "Take damage and deal it in return" Rhyperior (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Solid Rock EVs: 16...

[Overview] <p>While Sableye has been considered a mediocre Pokemon in past generations, it received a godsend from the Dream World in the form of Prankster, an ability that gives an added +1 priority to all status moves. Not only is it the only Ghost-type with Prankster, but it is also the...

This may be a bit of a controversial topic, so I am prepared. Right now, Smogon employs two sorts of bans, "blanket" (a single Pokemon/ability is completely broken and outright banned), and "complex" (two factors are found broken together and are banned on the same team), of which only one...

<p>One of many fighting-types introduced in the 5th generation, Sawk is a neat fighting-type pokemon, as it has the exact same base Attack and Speed as Heracross, Hitmonlee has slightly lower Attack but slightly outspeeds Sawk. Unfortunately, Sawk is outclassed by the two as a sweeper due to...

[Overview] <p>Last generation, Dusknoir found itself struggling to stay in OU, and with the introduction of many powerful threats in BW, it has finally made the drop to UU. This new generation has replaced Dusknoir's old competition, the Rotom formes, with new Ghost-types, namely Cofagrigus...

[Overview] <p>While the UU metagame has not been kind to Drapion's offensive capabilities, it can still sweep adequately. Its main draw, however, is its access to Toxic Spikes; it is also one of only three Pokemon with both Toxic Spikes and a phazing move, the others being Nidoking and...

Many of you may remember this thread in Dragonspiral Tower: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=102611 It was a good thread idea and it promoted a lot of interesting discussion. However, it ended up shut down. Honestly, I can't blame Haunter for shutting it down; however, I don't...

[Overview] <p>While Drapion hasn't gotten anything noteworthy from Gen 5, it already has everything it needs to succeed in its OU niche. It's one of only three phazing Toxic Spikers (the others being Nidoqueen and Nidoking), the fastest of the three with 95 base Speed, and the only one that...
