  1. A completely new Standard OU metagame?

    The game has been out for some time and I've seen some Wifi battles on Youtube and discussed Gen V battling a little bit. Here's what I gathered: Some Pokemon have upgraded a lot. Blaziken got Speed Boost, Cloyster Shell Break and Drizzle for Poliwrath amongst others. Some remain pretty...
  2. Simple Beam

    Simple Beam Type: Normal Effect: Changes target's ability to Simple Acc: 100 PP: 15 (24) Pokemon that learn Simple Beam: Tabunne Oobemu Genosekuto Delcatty Linoone This move really caught my eye. Really. Because it is so hilarious yet deadly, it is like a Bibarel in move form. We...
  3. Glare

    Glare is now 90%!!! Arbok, Dunsparce, Seviper, Jaroda and Kurimugan learn it. Bar Jaroda, all of them have terrible speed. I think they will be benefiting from the new and improved Glare and get a niche. Kurimugan has decent defenses and 120 attack. He can go either offensive or...
  4. Perky Team Ideas/strategies/movesets you would just Love to try out in Gen V?

    What perky/crazy/insane team ideas/strategies (single or multi battle) would you like to try out in Gen V? There were a few in Gen IV. Off the top of my head is the lv 2 Cleffa, Clefable and Clefairy + Ttar and Abomasnow. Endeavor to ohko everything in sight. Here are some of the Gen V team...

  7. Speed in Gen 5?

    B/W introduced a lot of pokes. There is a mixture of base speeds ranging from 20 to 140 (from what I remember). What do you think the benchmark is going to be like? Now (in gen 4) the benchmark is around 95-100 Base Speed. My impression is you'd better be somewhat bulky if you cannot reach...
  8. RMT please

    I have my ds confiscated until exams are over but am trying it out on smogon. I find that it cannot really end games, perhaps i need another sweeper? I am thinking articuno should have another moveset, leaving roar to another pokemon. In many battles, I found that I am down to my last few...

    This team boasts Defense and Special Defense. All Poke's have high Defense and Special Defense and lead Smeargle passes huge Special and Physical D boosts to Crobat. Crobat's Super Fang and Whirlwind combo significantly weakens the opponent. This combo is further enhanced by Skarmory's spikes...
