Today I learned that 84 is smaller than 80. Seems like there may be some errors in those calcs...

Goooooooood morning Alphabet Cup. Cryogenic freezing isn't all it's cracked up to be. Plus, I heard we got some new games, so I was thawed out for Sun and Moon! New games bring some very interesting things to Alphabet Cup. Obviously I can't foresee everything, but, here's a few quick things...

If Thundurus and Tornadus were banned it'd literally be about who gets boosts off faster. If we don't have either Alphabet Cup is basically like playing a game of chess where all the pieces are queens.

I don't know how ready the world is for Geomancy Genesect but let's open Pandora's Box here and unban these two guys. (And for the record, there won't be any more ban changes this month, sorry about this one).

Dammit somebody noticed that before I nixed that post. Basically I think the current OU Banlist was copied over and to be fair, Geomansect was probably bordering on broken anyway. Lucario gets nothing new and cool really, but can still do a number on most things with its Mega. Within the context...

Anyway, AZ's Floette is most likely an alternate Forme and therefore will not have evolved or be evolvable, and may even have vastly different stats to go with its painful Light of Ruin attack. On that basis it will most likely be banned-- I don't know much about this little thing though. Don't...

Just throwing it out there on the whole Shedinja issue: In an effort to make Alphabet Cup completely straightforward, it literally only focuses on the name of the individual Pokemon, and all evolution methods are null and void. Example: Trading away a Seadra wouldn't let you have a Kingdra...

Whoo! Alphabet Cup is March's OMotM! That's indeed an awesome occurrence. Thank you to everyone who voted, and things are going to be pretty awesome! Having a proper ladder established for is going to make discovery of suspects much easier, which is good. Also, I can finally play a game of my...

That is most certainly worth mentioning! A reliable way to break through defensive boosters, too (Cotton Guard Chansey lol). Oh, and with mentioning an OU staple, I have to mention something: Genesect and Lucarionite are unbanned until proven broken. My reasoning for this is that although the...

Let's go, Alphabet Cup! While there are literally tons of great metas that appeared in the past month, I'm sticking to my own for this month's voting.
