    Programming Usage Stats Python Wrapper

    Hello! Many many moons ago, I started working on a usage stats API (since kind of moved away from that, it still exists but its not so much alive anymore because I cant afford to host it and the code needs a lot of work). I used this as the basis for my master's degree final project...

    Resource Usage stats API

    https://usage-server.herokuapp.com/ I threw this together, as part of another project I'm doing and the other API that was hosted by Fingerprint (since banned) was not being updated anymore. I don't know if it matters, but I am using Express, Node and PostgreSQL. It takes two arguments: `date`...

    Diglett (QC 2/3, GP 0/2)

    [OVERVIEW] Diglett's blazing 20 speed sets it at the very top of the speed tier, and ability Arena Trap allow it to function as a top tier revenge killer. Its useful offensive typing and STAB Earthquake allow it to take out or threaten many key Pokemon in the tier. While options are not too...

    Serious FTC, COPPA, YouTube and You

    I came across this video, and just finished it so I haven't had time to review the stuff said, but I had only just heard about COPA, and it looks like it could have some damaging effects on the broader YouTube "creator community" for lack of a better word. YouTube would be better off just...

    LC Venonat

    [OVERVIEW] Venonat offers no real competitive value and is outclassed by Foongus or Morelull. Its biggest draw is a 4x resistance to Fighting-type attacks, which can be quite useful with Fighting-types playing such a big role in Little Cup. It also has access to Compound Eyes and Sleep Powder...

    LC Seel

    [OVERVIEW] Above-average defenses and access to some interesting support moves in Whirlpool and Perish Song allow Seel to carve out a niche role as the bulkiest Perish trapper, theoretically allowing it to take on a huge number of Pokemon in LC. The downsides are the strategy is one-dimensional...

    LC Skiddo

    [OVERVIEW] Skiddo is a strange case in that it has a great movepool and stats to take advantage of said movepool, but it struggles to find a use in such a fast-paced tier. Bulk Up, reliable recovery, and good enough coverage isn't enough to make it consistently viable in a tier littered with...

    Talk tech to me baby

    I'm in the market for a new laptop. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I research my options to death and generally narrow it down to a handful of options (it took me 3 months to decide on what mobile I wanted to buy). This thread is for those of us who in the market for new technology (from...

    LC Drowzee

    [OVERVIEW] Insomnia is Drowzee's most attractive feature, when you add that into its average defensive stats, gives it a nice role as a Foongus and Abra counter. Having semi-reliable recovery in Wish lets Drowzee stick around longer to perform its duties multiple times and check some other...

    LC Clauncher

    [OVERVIEW] With access to U-turn to maintain momentum, Clauncher finds a very small niche in the metagame. Despite having the ability Mega Launcher, it doesn't have many moves that can capitalize on it and its very average base stats prevent it from achieving any significant damage output...

    LC Paras (QC 2/2) (GP 1/1)

    [OVERVIEW] Paras is weak, frail, slow, and cursed with a poor typing, but despite these drawbacks, it does have two very useful moves in Spore and Knock Off. Paras's poor typing leaves it weak to the common Ice-, Flying-, and Rock-type attacks in the tier, though it is resistant to Fighting-type...

    LC Cacnea (QC 2/2) (GP 1/1)

    The mighty cactus! This is my first one, be gentle. [OVERVIEW] Being able to reach an impressive 19 Attack and having access to both Swords Dance and Sucker Punch help Cacnea carve out a nice spot as a niche offensive attacker. Cacnea is limited in that it is not very bulky even with Eviolite...

    XY OU Dual Dancers and Two Red Balloons

    Hey everyone! So some of you may no know me, most of you probably don't. I used to be really active back in DPP and took a break through the shitstorm that was Gen5 Weathermons. I used to play lots of UU and OU back in the day, and those tiers have always been my go-to (although RU in Gen 6 is...

    [UU Beta] Dancing on the borderline

    Hey, I'm alan, I used to be really into comp mons back in dpp but I started to drift away with gen 5 and I never came back even for BW2. I decided to come back with XY and mega pokemon seemed pretty cool so I'd give it a shot. OU is fun, but it got kind of old seeing Rotom-w, Heatran, Talonflame...
