Day 9 (layers, predictions, switches) and Day 10 (Damage Rolls, crits, combinatorics) are finally out. I think the latter is especially interesting: the new tools we have today allow us to access information that used to be practically unreachable for most players. Through experience we...

Day #8: Teambuilding!

Thunderous round of applause! At the end of the day this is the era of information, those who were around ten years ago know what it was to play without access to replays. That's a big part of why players are better nowdays. So, it's safe to state that it's for good.

In Invitational VI Chansey had a 65% win rate without mirror matches. Chanseyless teams are ok if you want to throw a curveball but I'm not surprised at all. And Snorlax is almost a must. Never bet against S4, betting against Exeggutor didn't work...

Day #7 is out: the newest entry focuses on the endgame. Teambuilding and layers should be coming up soon to wrap things up.

A tribute to my worthy successor.

This helps too.

As some may have noticed, video #6 came out (Chansey's movesets). Next one is going to take a while. In the meantime here is a brief insight on Zapdos and trends the involve it more and less directly.

Added video 4 and 5: midgame and Snorlax's moveset.

Absolutely. The legend that has RBY OU as the most luck based lol tier acts as a terrible label. RNG matters but making good plays does even more. RNG can be frustrating but this is true for any pokemon tier and any game. That's the price to pay for replayability.

Hello, I started posting a series of videos that you can add together and consider a RBY OU guide. I've heard players/insiders saying this kind of content has been missing for a while and all guides I know of are text only so this is a different way. I have decided not to cover the mechanics of...

Well, if they Thunder Wave your Chansey things become a lot better for you. If they don't, good luck playing against BeamBolt Chansey (which is actually your worst enemy) and Starmie. If your Chansey gets frozen all you have is Starmie, plus Tauros and some explosions. Not impossible, not good...

I randomly stepped into the thread where we voted for Counter Chansey, a few days ago, and I felt a bit bad over having voted for the ban. Thanks for bailing me out! Definitely a dirty move. Don't know whether it should go or not. Zapdos lead, the opening you just mentioned is brutal. I think...

This is bodied by some stuff that is rare now: Thunderbolt Tauros, Surf Thunderbolt Starmie (especially after a freeze on Chansey), 3 or 4 attacks Snorlax. It has just one Thunder Wave user so again, if Starmie gets RNG'd it's going to be a long game. To put it short it doesn't really match how...

Repeat post S S2 A B C D A and B / (6 to 11) really depend on who you ask I guess. Oh well, that's actually a good thing.
