:ss/monferno: ORAS PU Resources:ss/rotom-f: Welcome to ORAS PU! Here you'll find our metagame resources such as the Role Compendium, the Viability Rankings, Speed Tiers, and Sample Teams to get you started! You'll also find our ongoing discussion below. If you have any thoughts on the meta...

As far as what gens should be included - I'm with Tack / LpZ / BFM / MrSoup, etc. here; please include old gens in a 3-4 SV / 1 SS / 1 SM / 1 ORAS / 1 BW / 1 DPP / 1 ADV style format. Adv had a pretty good showing this PUPL, and so I see no reason to axe it after going to the trouble of...

People keep saying that ORAS has been a completely settled meta for a while now, but I disagree - we're still seeing big changes like Stoutland falling out of S (only 4 uses this PUPL), Mr. Mime being the top used mon this PUPL (20 uses and 40% usage, while the next mons behind it, Golem and...

Hello! Here are some strong teams with high win rates across recent tours featuring SS PU (those being PUWC III - 12-2022, Circuit - 01-2023, and PUPL - 08-2023). I had a lot of fun building and testing these late last year and earlier this year, so I hope you enjoy. Consider these sample...

*unordered (mostly) Like avarice and esta mentioned above, costa has been doing very well lately, and that was reflected in a higher placement relative to the majority of the other voters here. I also measured its quality against things sharing its typing and/or fighting for the same team slot...

Hey Heracross! I think for this set, what most people have been using is max Attack and max (or near max with some Speed creep) HP, in using Gourgeist-XL more as a tank to spinblock Sandslash and Eldegoss while also effectively threatening midgrounds that like to switch into Geist-XL. Shaneghoul...

Not QC, but I think Gourgeist-Small's niche there in the overview could be fleshed out a bit more. CS Geist-Small is already a seldom-used and very niche set, so contrasting it with other speed control options and perhaps other Ghost-types, talking about team options that help keep its Choice...

Not QC anymore, but I thought Spdef Clef's utility in checking meta threats like NP Thievul and Toxic Charizard atm should be mentioned. Also reordered moves slightly so that we aren't stacking 4 options (4 if you include Toxic) that it can viably use in one move slot. Feel free to implement...

I thought things went well this last year, all things considered. Some small ideas for change - I like the idea of having games that count toward Circuit be relegated to current gen, and tours for old gens be split up as follows: Old gen stuff: - Run Classic I with gens 6 - 8 in a Bo3 format...
