Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Coming back from not having spectated a lot of GSCPL to find some very cool and exciting matchups.
:muk: Magnificent Muks vs. Cracked Crobats :crobat:
Bo3 OU: DAWNBUSTER vs. gorgie - if there was ever a game where you could say "I just hope both teams have fun" it would be this one. I...
Largely with VRs I never like to nitpick individual placements because I like to view them as conversation starters rather than anything concrete. I think this is also a nice way to get discussion going before we archive this version of the tier in early '26, and maybe I'll make a post later...
RBY OU Bo5: Sceptross vs Ulti Bastion
RBY OU: TheStupe vs Diegolh

For those of you who were not on the Pampus, I just want to second that the Pampus were a great and wonderful team to be on this year. Pretty much everyone who played for them should be on your...
This is not necessarily a bad idea at all. Thunderbolt Tauros is very viable if you're trying to win in the later game with something that desperately wants Cloyster gone(think about something like Articuno). With Starmie, you would want to click Body Slam anyway as the para chance really helps...
Tauros is very capable of leading and applying pressure to a team in the early stages of an RBY OU match. Rest is an option in slot 4 to help it recover off stray damage it might take in the process, but also 4 atk as you know it can help do some major damage. Plus, just because you use Tauros...
"some of the best predictions I've ever seen ever" - Gerbungis
Washed Wartortles (0) vs (10) Pampu Primeapes

RBY Ubers...
I've watched you 1/256 dodge spore twice in a row and yet somehow I think this g5 is even more insane than that
This is a work of art in all the best ways
There is quite literally a tier all around this dynamic called RBY 1v1, where almost every possible moveset choice matters in this vacuum. Elo Bandit and Murm have put out great resources for this tier and it was featured in the first ever RBYOMPL earlier this year. It's a great tier and it may...
