Hey NU, resident lurker and occasional ladder tryhard here. You might remember me as the dude that was hyping up Ninjask like a year ago during the RU Beta. NU is really cool right now IMO and I wanted to share a set that's been working pretty well for me, getting to the mid-1500's or so as of...

Yo we're paired for r3 Nu alpha tour, I'm GMT-5 and Sat/sun are my best days to play. Lmk if that doesn't work

Calling act sadly, never heard from opponent

won in 2 vs Jrdn, ggs https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8nu-1063811682 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8nu-1063807948

Another reason to hate Sigilyph, you ask? Now it can Toxic + Roost Gigalith to death. Cool. Ngl I've been kinda on the fence about Pangoro personally because Bewear is just better in my experience outside Sableye matchups what with it being just as strong and infinitely fatter (like how tf is...

Yo looks like we're matched up for round 1 NU Alpha Tour. I think we're both EST so I'm good after 8 PM all week, but I can be more flexible over the weekend. Just hmu when you're good

Arctozolt @ Life Orb Ability: Volt Absorb EVs: 252 Atk / 40 SpA / 216 Spe Naive / Hasty Nature - Bolt Beak - Freeze-Dry - Hydro Pump - Icicle Crash So I think basically everyone with a soul likes this mon and wants it to be good, and I think this set is probably as good as it gets until...

Wanted to echo this post because it can't be overstated just how much Gigalith actually covers, to the point that if you're not running it you're bound to get ran over by some cheese sooner or later. Probably sooner too, since you can just run Trapinch on your sun/veil squad to crush...

Got a spikes team with Honedge for PU, brought it up to ~1600 on ladder before tilting https://pokepast.es/583591c9876526a3 Details in the paste cuz no one knows what this thing does, but Edge is lowkey the best spinblocker in PU. Doesn't actually OHKO Silvally-Fairy like it says in the paste...

Here's a super underrated threat for anyone who wants to add some more offense to their game Got caught off guard by this on the ladder and after using it a bit I gotta say that this thing goes hard. If you can get the smash off, STAB into boom KOs a huge amount of the tier. Hydro by itself...

While that might be the case for on cart, I think everyone can agree that they're not tryna fight 5 Mewtwo every game. I've seen some cool stuff on both ladders, but with broken Mewtwo everywhere and with multiple copies allowed per team there's not a whole lot of substance here. I know the...

After spending a good amount of time topping the Nexus server I gotta ask, are there currently any plans to implement proper clauses/bans into the Unrestricted ladder? Candy meta is actually surprisingly competitive if you can adjust (without every match being a 300 turn stall war too!), but...
