    np: UU Stage 13 - Ghosts N Stuff

    I've been on the regular ladder under the alt 'swampervert', it's at 1947 +- 74 with 30 wins and 3 loses. I've never laddered for a suspect test, so I'm worried my deviation is too low and I won't make it. Should I begin again, or keep going? I won't want to start over if this alt falls short...

    Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer - UU Edition

    Yep, she's definitely viable. I don't know about her in a defensive core though. I prefer her as an offensive check. A good partner would be something to take on the physical fire types of the tier, like Darmanitan. Any bulky water will do, be it Swampert, Slowbro or Blastoise if you need a...

    Awesome team! I was tweaking your Golurk set and found a slightly better EV spread. The old one had 308 Atk and 260 Def, this one has 314 Atk and 259 Def. Golurk @ Leftovers Trait: No Guard EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def Adamant Nature - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - DynamicPunch - Shadow Punch

    UU Suspect Discussion - Chandelure

    I just made an interesting discovery dicking around with a damage calc. Now, I like to use way more HP investment than is typically necessary, but it looks like it finally paid off. A little extra HP is REALLY helpful to Chandy. Some calcs, EV spreads, and a test scenario on Showdown- Snorlax @...

    UU Suspect Discussion - Chandelure

    I very much agree with what Flare said. Chandelure can only really be countered by Snorlax, but it's also very slow. So its success depends on what offensive threats your opponent has and if Chandy can get a good switch in. UU is the perfect fit for it in this respect. Here's a battle I had that...

    UU Suspect Discussion - Mew

    Relax. The post I was replying to said that not many pokes can boast hitting Shaymin that hard with neutral moves. So I showed Darmanitan can hit mew that hard (same base 100 stats). I even said in my post I know they are wildly different; I was just comparing their damage output. Yeah, that's...

    UU Suspect Discussion - Mew

    My bad, I just picked two random bulky pokes. I didn't mean to say Shaymin/Milotic are answers to Mew in anyway. The point I'm making is that although few pokes hard counter Mew, lots of things can take one hit and lots of things out speed it. I don't think those calcs are impressive. 252 Atk...

    UU Suspect Discussion - Mew

    Nasty Plot Mew's coverage isn't THAT strong. SE moves with low base power still have low base power. Victini for example has V-create, which is 270 after STAB. A more common bp is 120 or 180 after STAB. Mew's Psychic is 135, SE Aura Sphere is 180 and SE Shadow Ball is 160. So what about the...

    Importance of Wish passing in UU

    Spending two turns on recovery is a huge momentum killer. What's the point of Wish when the poke your passing to is forced out the very next turn? Something else has to take a hit and round & round you go. You're better off replacing it with another utility move. Wish isn't even that useful on...

    The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    I disagree with Gligar being a tier above Umbreon. Gligar has no offensive presence and does little beyond setting up rocks and taking hits. You can U-Turn after checking a threat, but with no passive recovery those attacks and hazards rack up quick. It's a liability. Umbreon on the other hand...

    The UU Viability Ranking Thread

    I think Poliwrath is C Rank material. It does have under .5% usage, but it serves an important niche. Specifically this set- Poliwrath (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Water Absorb EVs: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 Spd Adamant Nature - Focus Punch - Waterfall - Substitute - Encore The purpose is to switch in...
