I just reached top 100 on the ladder - currently 61st. This team has served me well so far: :Garchomp: :Greninja: :Aegislash: :Dragonite: :Volcanion: :Excadrill: Garchomp @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Rough Skin Tera Type: Dragon EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Stealth Rock - Spikes -...

I have some questions about assigning abilities and the meta in general. To what extent are we willing to create new/custom abilities? On one hand, we could choose to give a lot of deference to existing abilities and be fairly hesitant to create new abilities. For example, the original mega...

I forgot to put my gambled likes into this pool, can I please add them? https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/12-days-of-likeshop-2024.3756501/post-10368092 :talonflame: you already did Edit: I wasn't sure if it went toward Palafin specifically or if it was toward an OU suspect in general. Oops.

yeah can I get uhhhhhh (1500) Custom title of choice "Why do I keep coming back to this game" (900) random likes, all into OU suspect :talonflame: yep

I lost to some guy on the ladder yesterday who was using this. At the time I thought it was stupid but honestly it's kind of interesting. :sv/cryogonal: Cryogonal @ Heavy-Duty Boots Timid Nature Tera Type: Fire Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe - Rapid Spin - Freeze-Dry - Tera...

:sv/amoonguss: As the meta settles post-Kyurem, I'm interested in Amoonguss' potential. I anticipate that Gliscor spam will move the meta toward bulkier hazard-stacking teams in the short term, which Amoonguss fits into far more comfortably than it does on more offensive builds. In addition...

It's been a long time since I've posted on the forums but the Gouging Fire suspect part 2 caught my interest. Here are my thoughts. GF is really good, obviously, and arguably better than ever. Offensive DD has been on the rise and against a lot of BO/offense builds I look at the opponent's...

I've been using these teams the past week and I've finally managed to get back to the 1700s like I was in previous gens. I figured I'd share them before I inevitably tilt and my ELO tanks. :Great Tusk: :Baxcalibur: :Roaring Moon: :Zoroark-Hisui: :Kingambit: :Iron Valiant: Just a fun hyper...

Why do you have Glimmora and Scream Tail in A tier? I think they’re pretty solid but not on the level of meta relevance as Ting-Lu or Pex. I’m also curious to know why Meowscarada is at B+ and why Greninja is tiered the same as it.
