Hi all, welcome to my newest RMT, called Short-Circuit Evaluation. erisia gave me the idea for this team at http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/np-nu-stage-12-nevergreen.3567055/page-3. It is based around using Manectric and Electivire as the crux of an offensive core to cover a wide spectrum...

Back Story Many a Swampert have pranced onto the UU Battlefield, only to be destroyed by random Grass coverage moves before a single Stealth Rock could be laid. These Swampert have come back in a new form to haunt mischievous Pokemon who dare try to harm their mud-loving friends who are lucky...

Hello again everyone, with my 8th RMT, and my second one for a team from a Suspect Test. I used this team on the OU (Suspect Test) ladder when Genesect, Deoxys-S, and Mega Lucario were suspected. I did not get high enough on the ladder to get reqs, but I still thought it would be worth sharing...

I noticed that on PS, whenever you start a battle a Pokemon soundtrack is randomly selected from 8 or 9 choices. My idea is that a program could be implemented into PS that lets you choose which soundtrack you listen to from some array of options (Pokemon music of course), rather than it being...

Sneak preview Hello everybody! This is my second Gen 6 team. Not too long after the vicious Sand Stall "Geysers of Rage" had a wild success rampage in Pokebank OU, PS decided to bring us UU (beta). It released a barrage of monsters that I thought would never see the light of UU, such as...

There are some Pokemon that have deserved Mega Evolutions but did not get them. I wanted to open up a thread to discuss Megas you wish had been formed by GF with the entry of Gen VI and why. Feel free to include base stats, abilities, etc, keeping in mind that base HP never changes upon Mega...

Hello Smogonites and everyone else! This is the Explorer back with his first-ever Gen 6 RMT!! The new generation brought a bit of a disappointment with such a small number of new Pokemon released, but that was made up for with the introduction of Mega Evolutions. That being said, there were new...

This is a thread I am starting to reflect on some of your favorite anti-leads in the Gen V UU metagame. An anti-lead is a Pokemon tailored specifically to counter common leads in the metagame. This leads to a lot of room for creativity and often gives underrated threats/movesets a chance to...

Hello everyone! This is my 6th RMT on the Smogon Forums, and my 3rd RU one (preceded by "Curse of the Overused" back in the Cofagrigus Era and "Roboto-Sun" designed for a Laddering Challenge). The original base of the team comes from a post in the nP Stage 16 thread where atomicllamas posted a...

[OVERVIEW] -Most sets ignore Hitmonlee’s good special bulk in favor of all-out attacking -Hitmonlee can come in on weak special attacks or after another Pokemon faints and spin away hazards -Needs less offensive investment than Cryogonal or Kabutops to hit hard -Excellent coverage in two moves...

I sometimes look back at general discussion threads for the main tiers from years ago, such as this old UU thread: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/np-uu-stage-3-we-are-the-champions.3455948/page-3#post-3892782 In it there are Pokemon such as Hippowodon that I would love playing with in...

In the general discussion thread for RU I posted about Hitmonlee serving as an excellent cleaner, and then I remembered how potent Double Fighting cores are, given the many powerful Fighting-types in RU (some are even NU)! Double Fighting cores are known to put a heavy load of pressure on the...

Hello Froslass-haters! Welcome to my 5th RMT, designed specifically for the Froslass Suspect Ladder in UU. In general, when teambuilding for suspect ladders, I utilize Pokemon that fare better in the tier without the Pokemon that is being suspected (or utilize Pokemon that work well with or...

The fully-evolved starter Pokemon are scattered throughout the BW tiers as of today for various reasons. Some have good stats but poor movepools, some are vice-versa, some are outclassed by other Pokemon, etc. Here is, for reference, where each one is as of now: Uber Blaziken OU Venusaur...

I realized that this differs from a set already on-site by only one move, but the purposes of the two sets are quite different, so it may be best just to slash the difference on the set already on-site? Anyway, the substitution is Dragon Tail over Crunch. Specially Defensive Phazer Scrafty...

AQUArmada! Often when I see a new idea I like, such as a new core, a creative moveset, or the like, it inspires the creation of a new team. By this point I had tested variations of Specially Defensive Salamence, with this team having a new one, and I also wanted to take Copycat Lucario for a...

Hello fans of teams far and wide! This is a team that I made for the 1st RU Ladder Challenge, which featured using sun teams to combat the nature of the current RU metagame, particularly against hail teams (I have beaten every hail team I came across with this team, often by isolating and...

Suicide Trick Room Lead Chandelure Written: May 8, 2013 QC: 0/2 GP: 0/2 [OVERVIEW] Chandelure is often used as an all-out attacker because of its top-notch special attack, but if you delve into its movepool a little more, you will see very potent and interesting options such as Confuse...

NOTE: This is a variation of a set already posted on-site, it may be best just to merge this concept with the current analysis.... [SET] name: Sash + Endeavor lead move 1: Megahorn move 2: Endeavor move 3: Spikes move 4: Aqua Tail/Rock Slide/Earthquake item: Focus Sash ability: Quick...

“The Hose of Unpredictability” Hello this is an NU team that I created a while ago inspired by a Featured RMT on The Smog. Because of this, I have three Pokemon with Choice items (two of the same Pokemon as the RMT). At the same time, I was becoming very attached to using Garbodor to set up...
