Welcome to SWSH RU Alpha! phantom and I are very excited to see the beginning of RU's fourth official gen with you all, and what will come out of it in terms of gameplay and who will establish themselves across the site. First off, here are the stats we will work with in Alpha:
New mechanics relevant to RU:
This thread will serve as to discuss the metagame as a whole, be it Pokemons, builds, ideas and sets that seem to have potential in the current metagame. However, as it is still an Alpha tier, remember that bans will not occur during this month, the newly formed Council will get to those issues next month during the Beta stage of the tier. Therefore, discussions on what should be banned should be very much avoided, although obviously pointing out how good some sets and mons are is obviously encouraged.
