[Overview] <p>Klinklang has always been a very odd Pokemon. Its Steel typing and high base 115 Defense seemed to suggest a more defensive Pokemon, whereas its strong base 100 Attack and signature move Gear Shift gave it more of an offensive quality. Ultimately, Klinklang takes advantage of...

[Overview] <p>Magmortar has long been considered slightly underwhelming; in fact, it was left floundering in NU for the entirety of DPP and the majority of BW. However, Magmortar has found its time to shine in RU. Its excellent base 125 Special Attack and expansive movepool, including Fire...

Research Week - Week 2 April 26th - May 6th Research Week's premise is simple. It serves as a place to discuss Pokemon that, although somewhat unorthodox, have the potential to be interesting choices in the OU metagame. Be it through; stats, movepool, ability or support capabilities...

Rotom-C [Overview] <p>Rotom-C is the "middle" Rotom forme; it is neither the best of the five nor the worst. Whilst Rotom-H and Rotom-W are off gallivanting in the upper tiers, Rotom-C finds itself stuck in RU. This is by no means a bad thing, however; thanks to its great base 105...

[Overview] <p>If one could call RBY the Psychic generation, then it's certain that BW is the Fighting generation. While Primeape has to compete with a plethora of other Fighting-types for a team spot, it has the right tools to help it stand out. Not only is Primeape the fastest Fighting-type...

Klinklang [Overview] Klinklang looks cool and plays cooler. Shift Gear is a great boosting move, Gear Grind can break subs. Decent Speed and Attack stats are bolstered. Good defenses and Steel typing ensure it stays around for a while. Its movepool is as varied as the inside of a...

Research Week - Week 1 April 5th - April 20th EDIT: Extending deadline by 5 days to give people a chance to post their results. Some of you who are familiar with DST's subforums may have noticed Research Week threads. I've decided to bring it to OU. OU is the most commonly played...

Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grand-Jatte An RU Warstory Hey there RUers! This Warstory came about when I was laddering on RU to test out Smeargle for Research Week 2 (sorry Vileplume and Drifblim, no love for you). I had been laddering for about half an hour and managed to...

[Overview] <p>Bronzong is a Pokemon with very good defensive stats and an excellent typing. Traditionally, UU has always been lacking in Steel-types, and Bronzong is one of a handful that can abuse its fantastic resistances in a defensive role without being crippled by weaknesses. Bronzong's...

[Overview] <p>With a high base Attack stat, great coverage, and usable Speed, it may seem strange that Riolu has such low usage. It can either hit hard with Swords Dance or sweep quickly with Agility. Riolu may at first look underwhelming when compared to Fighting-types such as Mienfoo...

Warstory: X Factor, The Finals: Celebi's Dream Comes True! Hey there Smogonites! First a disclaimer to my opponent Quantumpencil: I’m sorry it took me so long to post this (almost two years!) I forgot about it when we first agreed to do it and only discovered it again recently. I lost...

As a recently out bi guy I've been following the current gay marriage (and to a lesser extent the still present gay adoption) debates with a lot of interest. I don't think a person really can be against gay marriage, and by that I mean that there are so many reasons why it should be introduced...

Klinklang So here's the discussion thread for Klinklang; an excellent pokemon who just had a Smog-feature RMT based on him! Anyway, he only seems to have one set at the moment so this thread is not only for general discussion about him but also for proposing any possible sets! Here...

I know this is a mainly American site so I hope that no one gets offended by this. I know a lot of Americans find the topic of sex before marriage very touchy but this is in no way an attempt to offend anyone. (Also if anyone found the disclaimer offensive then just blame my European...

Status: Proof read/Grammar check QC Approval: 0/2 [NONE][NONE] QCRejection: 1/2 [KANON][NONE] Grammar/ProseCheck: 0/2 [NONE][NONE] [Overview] <p> Although Riolu may lack the ability to switch in to common attacks as well as other Little Cup sweepers he makes up for it by having excellent...

Well this is my first ever RMT so bare with me. I've been playing with this team for quite a while now and had some success on wifi, beating several good battlers and a few Serebii admins aswell! I built this team based around a 'mon who I think (and I'm sure many would agree) is ridiculously...
