    I'm no expert, but the way I like to use Lax is immediate and impactful. In a world with Sand and Spikes, on a game-to-game basis I can't rely on Yawn's inconsistent usefulness and Focus Punch's reliance on prediction. All the opponent needs is a Ghost Type to shut that down after an initial hit...

    I'm coming back to this page to make a final update. It has been a journey, finding my 1st Squad that fit the way I like to play the game. I don't want to slowly stall you out with spikes and toxic. No, I want to maul you with absurd power. And if I were to pick a status, it would be para...

    My friend. All of this has been done. I want something truly unique. Themes are Redemption, Weirdness, and somewhat Special. I was thinking Hypno, but that somehow has been done. Feels like I may be wrong to think that there is a Mon that has not been touched yet in this Meta's 20+ Year History.

    I'm trying to build with a unique Mon like some legends I've met, like Celdanami running around the ladder with Minun. I've tried and failed with Slowbro. Just a real cool dude, shame he's just a worse Suicune. Any ideas on unexplored UU Pokemon with potential?

    As a community, we need to put Pert above Gross. Blissey and Pert belong in the S Tier. I love having them and hate facing them. Game doesn't really happen for you until you take out Bliss and/or Pert. Gross is easily handled. That's the difference. I can see ABR's Vision. Not sure if I ever...

    Want to give a shootout to my favorite Mon in the Tier, Gyarados. I actually happened upon it when I was trying to find a Physical Water (I forget why). My thoughts immediately went to Poliwrath, but after that idea was quickly terminated, I went to Dos. I don't see Gyarados as a Sweeper. It's...

    Update: I did reach my goal of being a regular of the 1600s with this team (peak of 1713), but I had to make a few changes. Pursuit Tyranitar replaced Bulky Metagross to address Gengar and Salamence's speed was increased for Moltres. This (mostly) solved the Will-o-Wisp problem. This also...

    Thank you for the advice! You are so right about Roar and Gyarados. I rarely use it. I'm switching to Thunder Wave. I'm also trying out Snorlax (EQ > Brick Break) and it's a solid response to the ZapDug problem. The only issue with Snorlax is now no one on my team can take a Will-O-Wisp...
