I'd like to nominate Rotom-Fan for Low A-Rank. It has a balance of bulk and power, as well as a base speed that puts it ahead of the common base 85 mons such as Sawk and Braviary. Its scarf set is much more viable with the banning of Jynx and it has access to Trick, allowing it cripple something...

Just wanted to post an update: I've made the changes Brawlfest suggested and needless to say, the team performs much better. It functions very well both inside and outside of rain, and Seismitoad makes for a great Rain setter. Thanks Brawl!

oops, fixed, i have a habit of doing that bc foul play

Hey everyone, I'm here with my second NU RMT that was based off of Cherub Agent's rain team found in the Rain Featured Playstyle Thread. After reading many of the posts in that thread, I found that Jynx was one of the biggest obstacles for rain teams to face, and after the banning of Jynx and...

I'm not sure Combusken is really worth mentioning, as it didn't gain anything notable this gen that it didn't have last gen iirc. It'll more or less play the same role as it did in Gen 5, with a Swords Dance sweeper set and a special set using the unreliable Focus Blast and Fire Blast. A Baton...

The only thing with ariados is its awful speed, nonexistant bulk, and an offensive stat which is only mediocre. Sticky Web means it'll obviously get some usage but ultimately its low base stats are a horrible letdown of its awesome movepool.

Hi Redew ! Got a couple questions for ya: You mentioned earlier that you initially came from Serebii, what was that like and what drew you to Smogon? What was the first tier you played? How do you personally familiarize yourself with a new tier/metagame? Btw thanks for being so welcoming &...

I'm very skeptical about flying-type Defiant users this gen. Their typing means that it has to come in on a predicted Defog or Intimidate switch-in since they aren't affected by Sticky Web. And with the (arguably) best defogger Articuno being part Ice-type switching in on a defog is quite a...

I don't have much experience in the OU monotype tier but since you asked, I'll provide some insight for your team. :toast: So the first thing I notice is you have a glaring weakness to fire, with 4 mons weak and only one resist in Infernape. I suggest running Scarf Keldeo over Breloom as your...

While the SubSalac Braviary set sounds interesting, it'll also be very easily revenge killed by the likes of Skuntank and any priority user, really. Especially if Jynx drops, we'll definitely see a rise in priority abusers. Also there's no reason not to run EQ on Golurk, lol
