Contacted my opponent, they seem to be active but it's possible we won't get to play before the next week starts

Lol I'm not mad at internet shenanigans, more about 90% glare missing and Stone Edge leaving Mesprit at 1% damn RNG gods that and I suck at pokeymans and my druddigon set is shocking. Why I even left on Dragon Tail after I removed SR is a mystery even to me...

Contacted my opponent.

Is that really true? Most of the S-ranked 'mons are in the top 10 and the As all seem to be in the top 50. Alomo was #55 in September. If it's so good, why aren't more people using it? There's a very high rate of correlation between viability ranking and usage but is suspiciously not the case...

Suggesting Waterfall over Scald affects my credibility? The last usage stats I can find (August) suggest that Waterfall is more common on Alomo than Scald and the only sets that include Scald on the mainsite are for UU, not RU. Surely if Scald was better it would be there? And if you're using...

Alomamola is such Substitute-bait it hurts. It's not like there are a shortage of 'mons in RU that can learn it either: There's over 50 that can learn it and a good portion of those are faster than Alomamola and can set up a sub that can't be broken in one turn by Alomamola. A good amount of...

Name: ewx Tier: BW RU

I'm not a veteran but I've been playing quite a few RU matches over the last few days, and here are my (likely incorrect) opinions. I've never been up against a Moltres that made me re-evaluate my team. It might have great stats but that SR weakness is pretty crippling. If I don't completely...

Best move is easily Substitute in this game.

I've been having a good run with Lum Berry Jirachi: Jirachi@Lum Berry Trait: Serene Grace EVs: 4HP/252Atk/252Spd Jolly Nature Body Slam Iron Head Drain Punch Ice Punch If Drain Punch or Ice Punch aren't going to 2HKO, go for parahax. Probably shouldn't have posted this here, suddenly...

I had a fair bit of success with a Stored Power Sigilyph set. It's pretty much the standard set, which really hurts opponents if they aren't prepared for it. Since Team Preview is on, you can scout for dark types and potential threats and send it in when it gets a chance. Use Cosmic Power to...

I've found that Purrloin is extremely good value at 281 BST while being able to put the hurt on unprepared teams. Purrloin @ Eviolite Trait: Prankster EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 156 SpD Impish Nature - Foul Play - Swagger - Thunder Wave - Substitute Using this as a lead really helps as most...
