Hello all. I've been lurking the UU subforum for a while and jumped in recently when I noticed that Espeon, who missed OU by a single place, doesn't have its own thread. Type: Ability: Synchronize / Magic Bounce Base Stats 65 HP / 65 Atk / 65 Def / 130 SpA / 95 SpD / 110 Spe Movepool...

Hey everyone, how's it going? So in an attempt to fight off my impatience for the arrival of Black and White stateside, I've been playing through some of my older games, as far back and RSE, and decided that I should revamp my Uber team from last generation to suit Black and White. The old...

Hey everyone, how are ya? It's me here with what is probably my best attempt at breaking into the world of Gen V OU. I experimented with various pokemon and teams but I genuinely think this is the most useful team up to this point, and it has been doing decently. It combines the old with the new...

With PO providing playtesting grounds and about a month having passed for everyone to begin experimenting with new threats, I figure it might be the right time to discuss weather in 5th Gen, more specifically Sunny Day. The Effects -Increases the power of Fire-type moves by 50%. -Cuts the...

Recently, I've gotten back into playing the 3rd generation games of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, as they are my favorite. I love the storyline, and especially the legendary pokemon, which had me thinking that maybe I should create an Uber team focused on one of these 3rd gen Ubers, for wifi of...

Welcome, everyone. I'll keep this introduction short and simple. As the title makes clear, this discussion will focus on Salamence's viability as a suspect. While Manaphy is still being tested, it is clear that the "pokemon-testing" phase of the Smogon Suspect Process is reaching its end, so it...

Hey everyone, I'm back with another team for rating. I've been playing suspect for about a week now, and have hammered out some of the issues with this team, though there are still a few that remain. So let's get into it - its a wifi team, by the way. At A Glance The Team-Building Process...

At A Glance The Process I had decided from the start that I wanted a somewhat forgotten pokemon, one that people rarely prepared for anymore. Immediately, the perfect pokemon came to mind, one that used to be known for its deadly sweeping ability but has been largely relegated to...

Hello everyone, I'm back with a new team that needs rating, so I'll get right into it, starting with my team building process so you can all see exactly what I was thinking. Step One: Selecting the Core I had already decided that I'd make an Infernape-based team due to the fiery chimp's wide...

I've got another OU team that I've been working on, with the focus being on setting Suicune up to sweep. The idea is that, with team support helping Suicune remove Blissey, other special sweepers serve as good backup, thus the focus on special attackers. Without further adieu, here it is...

I've decided that I want to try and get back into Ubers (if I could even consider myself to be in to begin with), and so I need some help. At A Glance Metagross@Lum Berry Adamant; 252 HP / 252 Atk / 6 SpD Explosion Bullet Punch Stealth Rock Meteor Mash Metagross leads the team...

Hello everyone, recently I have been busy with other stuff, but I thought I'd get back into the game sooner or later. I've used this team to pretty good results on Shoddy, and I just want some feedback before I go ahead and make it for Wifi. AT A Glance In Depth Swampert@Leftovers...

Okay, so I’ve decided that I’d give warstory writing another shot, and I think this rematch against Syl could be some good material. So, with no further adieu, I'll get started. Syl’s Team: Iceman28's Team: My comments will be in bold blue. HP Percentages will be listed in bold green...

Hello, everyone. Lately I’ve been looking into getting involved in the Uber metagame, and I came across an interesting pokemon, Deoxys-L. Despite its impressive defensive stats, it was only number 25 in the Uber tier as of December’s usage statistics. This got me thinking – what makes Deoxys-L...

The Team At A Glance The Strategy The idea behind this team is simple - bring out as many powerhouse pokemon as possible to open up a sweep for my late-game pokemon. I usually aim to set up Jirachi to sweep, although if that fails, Scizor is typically left to clean up afterwards. Each...

Hey everyone. After a great battle today between mrsockyman and I, I decided that I would do my first warstory here on Smogon, so bear with me and let me know how I can improve. Here are the teams: IcyMan28's Team Mrsockyman's Team Formatting IcyMan28's Team Stats will be in BLUE...

With Platinum out, I´ve decided to make a team to go along with it. I want an offensive feel for it, though not all of my pokemon are hard hitters. The idea is to set up Shaymin-S. The Team At A Glance Tyranitar@Choice Band Adamant; 60 HP, 252 Atk, 196 Speed Pursuit Crunch Aqua Tail...
