Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Another close semis this year. If memory serves right its back to back double tiebreakers. Tiebreakers also are becoming a much more common occurence than they were in the past. Congrats to the finalists, being there is not easy especially after these intense series. Also grats to my favorite...
Well the top 15 most iconic article was a good read and gotta say that anyone who comes to this tournament for the plays is a hypocrite. SPL is the best tournament for all the drama it creates. And after reading the article I gotta say the TDs are in for the content as well. How else could the...
Cant wait to say good riddance to this thing. There's never been a better glue mon that offers such combination of utility and offensive presence as this. An easily slappable pokemon shouldn't do this much and also be able to sweep if the user decides to run such a set.
Checking the VR after some time and gotta say band Azumarill is one of the most underrated mons imo. Its true that good team comps are inherently prepared for it, with common mons offering pretty much a blanket check depending on the move it clicks. This thing packs such a punch though, that a...
Predictions based on who has the better profile picture
Dasmer vs xavgb - Law vs wtf is this thing. I guess law wins by default
Welli0u vs emforbes - Zehahaha
Mako vs Empo - Empo's grovyle is just iconic
Giannis Antetokommo-o vs mimilimi - Fish are adorable
SoulWind vs Santu - I swear I'm not...
I am not a consistent mons player anymore (even though I consider myself pretty solid when I am active) so take what I have to say with a grain of salt. As an added disclaimer, even though I disagree with most of what celebrated tournament players are supporting this gen I cant help but respect...
Who would have thought a mon that forced a master rule change (sleep) in order to remain in the tier is now considered broken. Darkrai being OU was the community's materialization of its old wish to unban a "true" and traditional uber for the lolz. We had our fun but now its time to go.
Volc's real issue is that you concede that you are gonna lose to some variants of it even before you finish building your team. In contrast to some of the pillars of the meta like Kingambit which regardless, of their set or tera preference are checked by the same mons, Volc does not have...
Hello! Amazing job on the high rankings. Everything form S to A- feels in place and reflects the meta. My only nitpick is Cinderace which I feel should be a subrank higher. While its true that it isnt as good as it was pre DLC 2, the bunny offers some utility that is unique to him. It is a boots...
Excuse my curiosity and drama hunting but what happened with IPL? I was excited to see an old legend from shoddy battle (pepperidge farm remembers) but now he is banned...
