Damn, I fucked Naganadel. I love its typing, its concept, its name, its offensive potential, its beautiful design. I love both its shiny and non-shiny form. I love the fact that it's an extremely potent offensive poison type, since poison usually isn't a strong offensive type. I just love...

Does anyone have a link to the latest ORAS OU viability ranking thread that existed before Sun and Moon came out? I am just curious to see what the state of the ORAS metagame was like in its final days before it was replaced by SM. I am guessing that this thread is archived somewhere.

When I like a person's post, I am taken to a screen where it says "Are you sure you want to like this post?" Sometimes it says the opposite, .i.e "Are you sure you want to unlike this post?" even when I never liked it in the first place. Is there a way to prevent this pop-up from happening? It...

I noticed that Mega-evolutions and their standard, non-mega forms are being tiered separately this gen. For example, even though Mega-Metagross is currently OU and cannot be used in lower tiers, standard/vanilla Metagross is available in RU Alpha and UU Beta. When I played XY and early ORAS, the...

Oh, yes - Gliscor! I forgot about him, great Pokemon overall. And Cobalion too. Thanks for the suggestions! I feel like I have been seeing knock off a lot, but maybe I am overreacting. Whatevs. I spam knock off just as much as my opponents do, so I guess it all balances out in the end

What's the best way to counter Knock Off spam? I played X/Y and ORAS UU, and I remember Knock Off spam being extremely frustrating and difficult to deal with. The move is still very common in SM UU, and I can think of only a few ways to punish opponents who spam it: Pokemon holding a mega...

Very well said. This post captures the sad truth of the current state of our metagame :'( You are right about the power creep. Gamefreak just keeps chucking out ridiculously powerful Pokemon. I suppose it is a marketing strategy. Gamefreak saw how excited people got over the ridiculously...

Really good post! Your replays did a really great job of showing what makes Dugtrio so good in this metagame! I totally agree that Dugtrio should move up to A tier. Actually, to be honest, I think there are a lot of good arguments that can support for Dugtrio to go all the way up to A+ or even...

Thank you for compiling this compendium, p2!! It was very nice of you to take the time to do this :) I appreciate your helpfulness and effort :D One more thing that might help a few people is if you added a section for memento users. I know Dugtrio is a good user of memento. Apart from that -...

Test Test Test Test Here's a picture of Rowlet: Sorry for the shit post guys, but I just wanted to give Celtic Pride a big THANK YOU!! :D

I don't know how to use the "rich text editor." Whenever I make a post I am unable to edit it (i.e. make bold print, add icons, etc.). I click the wrench in the corner and that allows me to make posts using standard text, but no italics or anything like that. Is this a common problem? Does...

Personally, I am happy that most of the mega evolutions were cut from Sun & Moon, and I don't want any more added. The less mega evolutions there are in the tier, the better imo. Mega evolution made team matchup a much bigger problem. Because you can only use one mega per team, and because most...

Hi oreofestar. I think your profile pic is really cute :3 You too astrohagger. I do think the Talonflame nerf went a tad bit overboard. However, I will not miss this Pokemon. I know Gen VI Talonflame had problems (SR weakness, recoil damage, etc.). Talonflame was definitely not the best Pokemon...

So, brand new to this metagame, but thus far -> me gusta. Lots of fun, new toys to play with. The Tapus are all super cool; not only do they each have an awesome design, but they also have extremely interesting and exciting abilities. Grass is my favorite type, so I am extremely excited about...
