It has come to my attention that the use of multiple Pokemon from the same evolutionary line can be quite unhealthy, or very stale, and has been deemed as such by most of the community. In my view, Suicide Cup is meant to represent the creative spirit of the Other Metagame community. I'd like...

Even so, I think Gengar-Mega could be ranked. Sure, a team has to be built around it, but I've actually lost because of it once, only because it messes with the usual speed tiers of Belly Drum mons vs Shadow Tag users. It can also kill itself kind of reliably, unlike scarf Gothitelle. I'm not...

NotSoClutch, Snatch is an extremely important move in this metagame. I believe balanced teams should have at least two Snatch users. This is easy to achieve if you're in the habit of using Gothitelle. Also, Pokemon like Darmanitan and Sableye fulfill this role, and offer great role compression...

I just realised that Poliwag utterly outclasses Politoed. There's no reason to use Politoed over Poliwag. It's actually quite fast! I edited the VR accordingly.

We've just updated the Suicide Cup Viability rankings. I know you might think we took long, but that's only because we wanted it to be absolutely perfect! The changes are as follows: Accelgor: A+ ---> S- Espeon: A ---> S- Gothitelle family: A+ ---> S- Murkrow: A ---> A+ Darmanitan: Unranked...

The name "Pyukumuku" strikes fear into the hearts of many. Its feats are legendary. Its annoyingness, even more so. Pyukumuku is a professional provocateur, and, for this reason, it deserves all the respect in the world, just like the great Chansey, Alomomola and many others. However, Pyukumuku...

There's a terrible bug afflicting Suicide Cup at the moment. Right now, all Pokemon can use absolutely any move and any ability. This is basically Suicide Hackmons. The Immortal Kris

Trick + Pecha Berry is generally preferred because paralysis and sleep can be very beneficial. I also have to say that this is indeed the best Other Meme of the Month ever!

This is very interesting, assuming it works this way. Users of this strategy will also be able to use any item of their choosing. I can see Gulpin making good use of Belch. The main issue with this strategy is Gothitelle and partiularly frail Pokemon. Also, not too many Pokemon can learn Belch...

As NOC Unlucky 13 said, Magic Guard is now banned. The strategy behind KOing 5 Pokemon, only to Skill Swap Magic Guard, is extremely unhealthy. Counterplay to this strategy is limited and difficult. You can use Perish Song, for example, but with the aid of Pursuit trappers, people can still...

Pokemon Showdown Name: Adrian Marin BH Preferred OMs: Almost Any Ability, Balanced Hackmons Timezone: GMT (+2) / CET (I'm a bit of a night owl person though) Foreseen inactivity: that's mimezzz for I'll mostly be active during late hours \⌒(o°‿°o)⌒/

I thought I'd make a fun team based on T-Lukke's stellar artwork! (p.s. if you're reading this, you should try it out!) Gothitelle @ Toxic Orb Ability: Shadow Tag EVs: 252 Spe Hasty Nature IVs: 0 HP / 0 Atk / 0 Def / 0 SpA / 0 SpD - Substitute - Taunt - Magic Coat - Heal Pulse Gothitelle is...

I just have to say that it's absolutely ridiculous that no one has replied! A w/l of 75-2 (as of now) is absolutely insane, and it takes a lot of dedication and awareness to achieve that sort of consistency. Overall, I can say that it's a very simple team. Most good teams are well-prepared for...
