Since we have a good thread going about college applications, I thought it would be worthwhile to have a space dedicated to discussing the professional side of life. Most career paths aren't linear (or require a degree), and I think it's worthwhile for people to share their journeys to show how...

Welcome to Xia's Pokézaar Important Information Trading Guidelines I abide by the culture and rules of Smogon's Wifi community Pokémon are listed alphabetically by final evolution Trade discussions will occur in the thread where the original post was made Reason for Trading My goal is to...

I've been stumbling upon multiple new hints that could be added to the on-site article, so I figured I'd thrown them in here before I get them on-site. They're not in any order and will require additional links in the toc (I've already added "a name" to each section), but other than that it's...

There were some break issues with this when I sent it to mingot, so it's being posted here. [title] Second Generation Tips, Tricks, and Glitches [head] <meta name="description" content="Tips, tricks, and glitches for second generation Pok&eacute;mon games, compiled by Xia." /> [page] <div...

This set was requested by the Quality Control staff, so I've gone ahead and done the deed. The EVs may need tweaking (I just used the Supporting Lead's spread), but that's what the community is for. Also, I would love to hear if there are any other teammates or support moves that I should list...

Status: Finished After getting the go ahead from both Eo Ut Mortus and j. franky I've decided to rewrite this Ninetales revamp to improve its sentence structure and sentence flow. I've also revamped the Team Options section. Old analysis which can be locked. I also have not included j...

I've decided to help get this on-site for an old friend of mine. Revamped the format and altered some of the set comments to reflect UU only (if this set works in OU another writer can feel free to post an analysis there). Logs of this sets effectiveness can also be found here for anyone...

After speaking with Garganator (the user who first posted this set), I've decided to take this analysis over. Status: Finished http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/porygon2 [SET] name: Offensive Trick Room move 1: Trick Room move 2: Ice Beam move 3: Thunderbolt move 4: Recover / Tri Attack /...

OK, after laddering a bit under a bunch of alts I've decided to post my newest team. It is a fairly balanced team with an anti-metagame feel to it. Anyway, onto the team: Through the Telescope: Coming into Focus: This team has gone through some major changes in every slot, bar one. Nearly...

Status: Finished http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/spiritomb/ [Overview] <p>Spiritomb tends to reside in one of two niches: anti-metagame lead or defensive staller. It is capable of threatening many of today's top leads with brute strength and crippling walls who switch in with a Tricked...

Will be going back through and finishing up the sets that have yet to be done. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/clefable [Overview] <p>Clefable's massive movepool and unique ability make it hard to classify. Most trainers focus on making Clefable a team supporter through the use of...

Here's the truncated paragraphs that should be added on-site. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/ambipom [Overview] <p>Ambipom is typically seen as a lead, dishing out Technician-boosted attacks and one of the fastest Taunts in UU. This high Speed and power also makes Ambipom a reliable...

Status: Posted Actually, since the two sets occupy different niches, this set will not be replacing the current Encore set. =] Although this analysis seems to be very much geared towards defeating Cresselia, it can actually be used with great success against other walls as well, hence the...

I kept the set comment paragraph that descibes Destiny Bond, since it was fairly well-written and describes the many uses of Destiny Bond better than I could rewrite it. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/mismagius/ [SET] name: Substitute Destiny move 1: Substitute move 2: Destiny Bond move...

All credit for this set goes to Flamewheeler (I grabbed the set from here and tested it, I hope you don't mind that I wrote up the analysis). Once twashley, Colonel_Marcus, or another mod would like this set to be merged with j. franky's full revamp, feel free to do so...

Status: Completed This set has seen a lot of use since HGSS brought about Morning Sun, so I felt the need to have an analysis on-site. If I missed anything or someone would like information added, please let me know. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/arcanine/ [SET] name: Morning Glory...

The thread wasn't being altered, so the HTML is now going up. This rewrite by me, HTML by me (though Gen. Empoleon and mingot might as well have). Blurb: <dt><a href="belly_drum">Belly Drum Analysis</a></dt> <dd>An analysis of the move Belly Drum and its strategies, thanks to Mekkah, with...

Status: Complete! Approved by Jimbo Since there wasn't an article written about Belly Drum for DPP, I decided to take the old RSE one and revamp sections of it so it reflects this metagame. I decided to leave the introduction exactly the same, because it's a great analogy and I couldn't come...
