I thought I'd resurrect Linear's original purpose of the thread by doing a team dump and showing some sets/spreads that I particularly like. I've always wanted to do a 100 team dump, partially bc i never really liked the teams i released previously and bc i love building new teams -- I've been...

I wanted to push back a little here bc of how rote you describe reaching the top echelons of the ladder is. I may not be in the upper crust any more, but I’ve been laddering adv for a long time. I’ve enjoyed reading your posts on how you reached 1900+. But there are a lot of ways to do it. I’ve...

I wanted to say roro’s use of yoloskarm (he didn’t reveal Hp ground/taunt but he was heavily attack invested and so I’m calling it a yoloskarm) on his spl tiebreak team was genius and might see a resurgence on the set. Here was the game: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen3ou-833278...

Double dpp tiebreak let’s go! Two great mus between bihi and bkc and then the third christos vs void pairing. Should be great! Bkc vs groudon: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen4ou-826872 Bkc: :Zapdos: :starmie: :Roserade: :Flygon: :Metagross: :Hippowdon: Groudon: :swampert...

There were some great teams used the last two weeks, particularly wtk’s w8 team is something I thought was very cool. However, I thought something cool to do would be to breakdown of both semifinal mus and think based on the regular season how I would prepare for the game. All four players are...

W7! Dridri vs Groudon https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen4ou-822922 Dridri: :Zapdos: :starmie: :tyranitar: :Flygon: :Breloom: :Jirachi: Groudon: :kingdra: :heatran: :Latias: :Metagross: :Breloom: :rotom-wash: Dridri: Dridri brought a team very similar to the team wtk used...

W5! I like the dynamic tycarter and I have of videos plus written analyses. Dridri vs crucify https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen4ou-820429 Dridri: :azelf: :Metagross: :Tyranitar: :Gyarados: :Latias: :Bronzong: Crucify: :uxie: :Flygon: :heatran: :rotom-heat: :Empoleon::unown: I...

https://pokepast.es/0a199c02c8aa53f3 :uxie: :Scizor: :heatran: :Togekiss: :Latias: :suicune: I saw the team above and decided to adapt my preferences for nasty plot Togekiss for this challenge. I unironically think hyper beam is the better move on offensive np Togekiss over air slash. Why? On...

Here we go again for w2! Again, I mean no harm, just love good teambuilding in Dpp. Crucify vs Malekith: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen4ou-816563 Crucify: :swampert: :heatran: :Roserade: :gengar: :Jirachi: :unown: Malekith: :jirachi: :Togekiss: :Latias: :Clefable...

Hi I wanted to do a review of the teams we saw this week. I’ll try do this if I get time every week. Full disclaimer that I mean no harm, just find teambuilding in Dpp to be very enjoyable and it’s really hard to get right. I also am only going off replays so there could be a tech in here that...

Team 10 — this is actually hilarious, I saw this last night and was messing around with trying to do it on the ladder and also came up with slaking. I did some edits to a team void brought last year in spl and made my own spreads. I unfortunately found my team absolutely could not kill skarm...
