  1.  np: SS UU Stage 8 - Highway to Hell

    Currently I'm still building and experimenting on the ladder, but here are a few of my observations about the state of the meta, if you want to call it that. Hippowdon sand is super viable, mostly because the hippo is already a great defensive Pokemon with access to some nice utility moves...
  2. Project SS UU Research Week - UU RESEARCH - Week 42 Roost Hydreigon and Any sets Crobat - New System !

    SSRW Drift Research: Galarian Slowbro AKA GlowBro Since I first started playing Showdown way back in Gen 5, I've always been fascinated by slow, bulky win condition Pokemon. RestTalk Suicune in BW, Reuniclus in XY, Curse Snorlax in SS... something about these fatmons has always enchanted me. So...
  3. Project UU Teambuilding Competition V2 - On Hold

    spookmaen because I love golisopod
  4. Project UU Teambuilding Competition V2 - On Hold

    Kind of a wonky team. Like 467 above me, I wanted to make use of Hex Chandelure + Toxic Spikes, and in the process ended up going full-on spikestack. Tentacruel and Chandelure have been a nice tandem for generations, covering some of each others' weaknesses but more importantly helping set each...
  5. Resource SWSH UU Cores

    Here's a pretty obvious, but effective core that aims to take advantage of Choice Band Krookodile. The croc has been one of the most consistent Pokémon in UU this generation, but I generally feel that more focus is put on its support set than its offensive potential. CB maximizes Krookodile as...
  6. Project UU Teambuilding Competition V2 - On Hold

    4/4 galar-weezings we did it guys! voting for sickist
  7. Project UU Teambuilding Competition V2 - On Hold

    Pretty cool balance team with Scarf Zarude. Of course Zarude + Slowbro is a really nice core, since a lot of Zarude's best checks get smacked by Future Sight. Same thing goes for Cobalion, which provides rocks and benefits from the other two mons' ability to handle bulky Water-types. Weezing...
  8. Metagame SS OU Metagame Discussion v2 [Usage Stats in post #581]

    Thoughts from the trenches: With the removal of Darmanitan, Dragon-types are about to surge in popularity, which I like because I've been using Grimmsnarl a lot lately. It has quite a few nice sets; I'm sure a lot of you have seen the Dual Screens set getting some burn on more offensive...
  9. Gen 7 USUM NU Viability Rankings - v2

    Dhelmise: A > A+: Agree Not a lot of 'mons are more splashable than Dhelmise right now. I recently cleared out the teams I don't use on my builder, and I was left with 7 teams, 5 of which have Dhelmise on them. Truth is it just has so much utility to offer; between Rapid Spin, solid offensive...
  10. Gen 7 USUM NU Viability Rankings - v2

    Lot of stuff going on in the meta right now but my main focus is that Togedemaru is ranked pretty low at just B. Now, I get that it's pretty one-dimensional and a lot of the time ends up U-Turning out anyway, but I personally think it should go up to at least B+. Its typing is pretty unique in...
