  1. SM OU Let Me Make Myself Crystal Clear

    That Diancie looks hecka cool. Just saying. The maker of that gif has good taste. I'd go on, but that's not why I'm here. The team is quite well constructed and has good potential. Well done constructing this one. Judging by my knowledge of the current meta, I'd say there aren't any...
  2. Metagame Metagame Discussion Thread v3

    Well, even though Shedinja can't pivot as effortlessly, as before, it doesn't mean it can't wall its previous victims (think Keldeo, Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele), and will force switches. Shedinja isn't unviable completely – it just can't pivot as well as before. On an unrelated note, hazards are...

    Well, too late. I was gonna say you should make your post in Other Admin Requests forum: https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/adminrequests regarding your password problem.
  4. Resource SM OU Viability Ranking Thread

    Some problems: • 8 PP for STAB attack (bad if you're forced out a lot) • You're forced out a lot because Volcarona + Greninja(non-Ash) are more overpowered than the SC2 Terran race. They're also all over the place. • Less overpowered options (such as Heatran, Celesteela, Amoonguss, and Gengar)...
  5. Announcement np: SM OU Suspect Process, Round 4 - The Robots - Metagrossite BANNED

    Um, questions: • I get the impression in this thread that saying "Metagross is needed to keep some threats in line" is not recognized as a valid argument. • In this article (http://www.smogon.com/articles/oras-ou-retrospective), it is mentioned that "Metagross is needed to keep some threats in...
  6. SM UU Trying 2 git gud

    Small rate, but better than no rate. Cool idea for the ScarfGar, though I may want to toss Trick onto there so fatmons (i.e. Suicune) can't set up. Also it disrupts setup sweepers/Bisharp. Excellent ideas, but this will leave me bereft of Stealth Rock (in a metagame where practically everyone...
  7. SM UU Trying 2 git gud

    Title speaks for itself. I tried to look for advice on the UU room and the RMT room in Showdown, but no one would help me (except for one kind gentleman named "bow for glory". So maybe here I could get some help? These three formulated an attacking force that seemed legitimate to me. Gengar...
  8. Resource SM OU Viability Ranking Thread

    Don't y'all have anything better to do than discuss the viability of Blissey? I think it'd be a better idea to put all that energy you used for Blissey into some other mon that has actual metagame presence (i.e. Tapu Koko)

    I've been seeing two Dugtrio teams that have been infesting the OU ladder lately, trying to make everyone fear the Stall. Specifically, these two:Seismitoad @ Leftovers Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD Sassy Nature - Scald - Knock Off - Stealth Rock - Rest Shedinja @ Focus...
  10. ORAS OU Anti meta Kyurem-B (peaked 1794 recently)

    Hi, I promised a rate, so here you go. Team is certainly unique and can put in work. However, I see a few problems +It seems you have a bit of a tough time vs. Ttar + Exca (and maybe ZardY as well) teams that are all over the place, which isn't really a good thing. Mega Scizor is also slightly...
  11. Project Break This Team (Week 42)

    I vote for core 3
  12. ORAS OU Mega Diancie Offensive Team.

    Was waiting for someone to give you a hand, but no one did, so here I go. The team seems fairly competent so far, it's just that your team has a few issues vs. various enemies. Stall – the lack of a Stallbreaker is very concerning, although Diancie can rectify the issues somewhat. Weavile –...
  13. Smogon's Official Ladder Tournament III - Cycle 3 Signups

    Forum name: Mon of Steel Cycle 2 Alts: LT3A MoS, LT3B Steel, LT3C Mon Do my alts for Cycle 3 contain my forum name or a very similar variation/abbreviation of it as required by the rules?: Absolutely!
  14. Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers MKII (Read the OP First!) (Now with 100% more Rules!!!)

    What niches does Magnezone achieve outside of checking Steel-types? Is it useful when it's not attacking Steel-types? Also, why do people prefer Magnezone over Magneton? Magnezone can switch into attacks better, but what if most of the time, you don't need Magnezone to switch into stuff? Would...
  15. Resource ORAS OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers MKII (Read the OP First!) (Now with 100% more Rules!!!)

    Last question: I was wondering what Gliscor could accomplish besides Stallbreaking, considering that role compression is fairly important in this metagame. (Even then, it can't 6-0 Stall.) Also, which set is better, the SD set, or the Taunt + Toxic set?
