  1. Gen III Battle Frontier Discussion and Records

    I have two streaks to share: 125 tournaments in the Dome and 525 floors in the Pyramid, both level 50. I'll start with the Dome. First, the Dome Assistant link in the OP should be updated from the command line application to the far more usable web version I only found when Googling some of the...

  2. OU The Ninjask Thread

    The issue isn't Ninjask or Sand Attack, it's Baton Pass, as always. Just ban it on any Pokemon not named Zapdos, Celebi, Jolteon, or Vaporeon, limit to one abuser per team, and be done with this years-long debacle.

  5. OU Why we should suspect test No Guard, DynamicPunch, or Machamp

    The distinction between suspecting Machamp or DynamicPunch is interesting. Normally, I think suspecting Machamp would be the clear choice: DynamicPunch isn't problematic on anything else, as it's really the combination of No Guard + STAB + high Attack that makes it so strong, i.e...

    Ah, I remember when DP was current gen and everyone lost their minds about whether suspecting (let alone banning) Garchomp was too revolutionary a step in tiering. Now I can walk into an ADV metagame discussion and see people arguing that Sand Attack has to go. What a time to be alive.

    hard pass on RU lol, i only play adv/dpp/oras ou when i have time, which isn't that often these days -- usually dpp bc the games are pretty fast-paced. i've become a pokemon boomer where some of the new mechanics/designs/conventions in the franchise feel like they've passed me by a lil bit. at...

    i went to the PC forum a few months ago and found it to be kind of a ghost town. obv the battling stuff is gone but i mean the whole thing. it had like a pokemonelite2k vibe or something lol. it was a bummer but maybe it was just a dead time of year. anyway, i'm actually on the discord but never...

  9. Gen 3 ADV Baton Pass v184

    StatPass Celebi isn't broken, which is why I called it collateral. We all know the actual target. It's just really, really hard to make a BP clause that both preserves the diversifying benefits of the move and prohibits its many, many abuses. Trying to do so is a fool's errand. But if we do try...

  10. Gen 3 ADV Baton Pass v184

    The title of this thread is a massive indictment on how this has been handled so far. Baton Pass is obviously broken, and it’s so broken that multiple attempts to constrain it — from much better players than me — have failed…again, and again, and AGAIN. If the community doesn’t want to ban it to...

    I come here all the time to watch tournament replays during lunch breaks. Lately that's meant the ORAS replays for Masters, and ngl it's kind of a miserable metagame IMO. I feel like I keep seeing the same 5 teams on repeat. I always watch SPL for the ADV and DPP matches, so looking forward to...

  12. OU DPP OU Metagame Discussion Thread

    Baton Pass is a broken move, so it should stay banned. Drypass isn't broken, but Excal's excellent post earlier summed up the issue here where, for some reason, there are always these efforts worthy of the mental gymnastics meme to preserve "legitimate" applications of the move. Remember the...

  13. Sports NBA Thread: 2022-2023 Season

    Ignoring the Ja Morant situation for a moment, how many teams in the Western Conference playoff race would you feel confident about Memphis beating in a playoff series assuming good health? Their half-court offense at the end of games is completely inept. "They just need Steven Adams back" is...

    What's up?! I like to follow SPL for the ADV/DPP/ORAS games. I don't have any time to play these days so watching replays scratches the itch.

  15. Lower Tiers ADV Ubers Metagame Discussion

    Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, but while trying to learn about this metagame, I've found it pretty hard to find anything up-to-date on some of the Pokemon, especially Groudon and Kyogre. Are the sets from either the sample teams or from the linked mini-analysis thread in this post...
