FESTIVE BROS WE'RE SO BACK

:mamoswine::gyarados::weezing-galar::kleavor::goodra-hisui::toxicroak: https://pokepast.es/b43bbd0b2bc83c66 Freeze-Dry on Mamo has always been a nice tech when fat Waters are everywhere, and SV RU is one of those metas with Slowbro, Quagsire, and the rarer Gastrodon. We use it in conjunction...

Let's go from top to bottom: :slowbro: S -> A+ Not much to say outside of the fact that Slowbro does not belong in its own tier, plain and simple. The only way to keep Slowbro in S would be to also rise Gapdos, Bisharp, and Krookodile to S as well, which would be correct, but also a bit too...

Voting for heatranator. FezGoo Talon + fat Water is my signature core and there is no way I'm not voting for it

Healing Wish cores RU has 3 common Healing Wish users in Gardevoir :gardevoir:, Jirachi :jirachi:, and Cresselia :cresselia:. Since the move is viable and fun to use, let's add 3 cores using it. :volcanion::jirachi: Scarf Jirachi can trick its Choice Scarf to defensive waters trying to take...

Double Shuca Tspikes Oricorio :dragalge::rhyperior::slowbro::zapdos-galar::entei::oricorio-pom-pom: https://pokepast.es/4c41595948078b27 :pmd/dragalge::pmd/rhyperior::pmd/oricorio-pom-pom: The goal of this core is to weaken Oricorio's checks and counters to eventually clean up with it...

RUA 3 CSC Pre-laddering thoughts: Beeg Rock is back, bringing huge bulk, high Attack, insane movepool, Stealth Rock, and Swords Dance to be an anchor and MVP for offensive teams. Here are the sets I'll use in order of how good they'll be imo: 1. SR + SD :bw/rhyperior: Rhyperior @ Leftovers...

Session 3 ALT CODE: RUA3(name) RU Research Academy's second session will cover Rhyperior! :bw/rhyperior: Today, RU hero and fan favorite Rhyperior finally comes back home after Zapdos's leave from UU ! Rhyperior was a popular mon for being an offensive Rock setter with incredible natural bulk...

Pls guys where is the monotype RMT subforum I'm lost :registeel::bisharp::empoleon::klefki::jirachi::magnezone: https://pokepast.es/dd09a6a1a5349f6a :registeel: After several teams of trying to make Registeel work in teams other than super fat do nothing teams, I gave up and channeled the...

NP ATales balance :hippowdon::empoleon::cyclizar::zapdos-galar::armarouge::ninetales-alola: https://pokepast.es/7c2465bae73f111f Hippowdon/Empoleon/Cyclizar is a classic balance core that covers most of the metagame and allows for forgiveness with Roar Empoleon in case things get too dicey...

The Yanmega suspect took a lot of the time I spent playing on ladder, so I don't have a ladder peak to show. I did do some research on Gengar, although not as much as for Hoodra... :gs/gengar: First off, I found out that Gengar is not quite as splashable as I initially thought. Maybe that will...

not a council member nor do I have anything to prove my level, but I also feel negative towards supermajorities. Unrelated politics aside, the pro-ban side already always has the burden of the status-quo when arguing for a ban. It is very easy to dismiss arguments just because "why completely...

It is true that swapping Hoodra for something else would solve the Bisharp issue, however I would need something that handles both Bisharp and Yanmega, which is not a wide pool of mons ; and if I focus my efforts on Bisharp, then Yanmega becomes a problem if coupled with other mons ; for...
