actually, yea. now that i've read that whole thread... this might be a bad idea. it would be way too much work for the staff. 4 tiers is a lot (including NU), 8 would be insane. and it could be too divisive for the community. it could be fun, but it would definitely be a ton of work and could...

point taken. but isnt the metagame already divided amongst people who primarily play uu, people who primarily play ou, and people who primarily play ubers? either weather or non weather would be more popular... and then people would then gravitate towards the more popular one because it would...

stealth rock absolutely ruined the gen IV metagame, well for me at least. with rotoms running around, spinning was very tough in the ou metagame. fire was the best check on steel, and ice was the best check on dragon, obviously. but since stealth rock rendered most of the fire and ice typed...

we'd probably be best off if there was an ou tier where all weathers are allowed and an ou tier where no weathers are allowed. both metagames running simultaneously. they would have different pokemon banlists, and would probably be very different metagames. switching between as you please would...

grass knot is legal with storm drain. i'm surprised it took you guys this long to mention it, since grass knot is actually a better option than giga drain in a lot of situations....

for what it's worth, i simply do not see how you guys can ban manaphy and drizzle at once. if you have strong reason that drizzle is totally broken, then ban only drizzle. has manaphy been used enough outside of the rain this generation that you guys are confident he is broken without rain? has...

you guys are zany. Manaphy is clearly broken with or without rain. why not simply ban him first and see if drizzle is STILL broken???? why would you take the radical move of completely banning drizzle and Manaphy concurrently. over in the PO server, where manaphy is banned, but drizzle is not...

I was joking about this for a while on the Pokemon Lab chat, so I figured I'd make a post about it here. I want to make an inside joke Smogon t-shirt, so that Smogon members will be able to identify each other in public when they see someone with the shirt on. Also, it will be pretty funny when...

amen. to the op: Also, I think that believing in yourself, with regards to academic work, is important just to give yourself a chance. If you go in there, feeling like you can do it, feeling good about the whole situation, then you'll be able to let your talent shine, if you go in there...

I was using this thing over on the pokemon online 5th gen sim (which was an alpha test that is currently down) and was having a lot of success with this set: Timid @ Leftovers 252/252 (Special Attack and Speed) Calm Mind/Boiling Water/Mystery Sword/Hidden Power Dark Leftovers is there...

Try OU. Venusaur and Ninetails are going to be legit OU pokemon this generation.

Yea I've been using a similar set on the Pokemon Online alpha testing for gen 5, and it worked very well. More specifically, I had: Adamant @ leftovers, Swords Dance/Sleep Powder/Earthquake/Seed Bomb Paired with Ninetails obv. Gave it just enough speed to outspeed choice scarf garchomp in...

Also, espyjump just got much much more dangerous. Switch espeon's in on a predicted thunderwave or sleep powder. Opponent switches out, and on the switch, calm mind or sub and then BP out. The BP would possibly prevent scarftar's pursuit from OHKOing it (if CM was used and sub was not).

But its such an amazing ability that Espeon just went from completely sucking to legitimate OU threat... seriously this ability just does too much. espeon is going to have soo many uses. Also, it has the special defense to take a hit, and after its done its work disrupting the opponent with...

Sidebar: I'm really loving how abstract and avant-garde a lot of these pokemon look. The colors are so neon, and i don't know how to describe it but 'post-modern' and 'abstract' come to mind when I see these sprites. Really loving where they went with these. Anyone else feel this way? Also, I...

lol, i say that these pokes are going to be great, and you say they are going to be terrible. Your a bigger buzzkill than Buzz Killington .... ;) Base 120 attack is nothing to write home about in ubers? Tell that to Dialga. Also, if Scizor works well in Ubers, with his base 60 speed and...

how about this bug alien? Genosekuto. 71/120/95/120/95/99 with DOWNLOAD as its ability. And it's Bug Steel, which is a fantastic defensive typing. This thing is going to rip through the ubers tier. Basically it powers up on the switch in and just starts firing off crazy attacks. And you...

lmao. amazing.

But, full health physically defensive cresselia survives gengar's shadow ball then ohko's back with psychic. Also keep in mind that CB ttar's crunch does not ohko cresselia (i believe). cresselia can then fire back (or fire first depending on speeds) an hp fighting, and hp fighting may actually...

I would actually argue that Cresselia is dominant in OU when used right. It can wall the SHIT out of opposing teams. It can support its own team. And I've had incredibly success with calm mind/psychic/hp fighting/twave or ice beam cresselia. If you give that thing a modest nature and 252...
