can't believe uk picked peng that guy sux

Short answer: As a general trend, Skarmory leans more towards fatter/stallier teams whilst Ferrothorn leans more towards offense. Detailed answer: Skarmory is an outright wall and more reliable Spiker as it has access to Roost and a defensive typing that gives it more free turns to set-up...

I’m not sure whats funnier Cow thinking its fine to make a premeditated day 1 sub to guarantee his opp Or River thinking anyone is dodging her for her pokemon skill

just a public service announcement, nobody should be leaving landot in on abomasnow t1 when snow warning goes ahead of intimidate

(retired) but wanted to drop some thoughts on Heatran as I built a lot with it for BW World Cup and have strong thoughts on it. Obviously a lot of us have recognised he is pretty anti-metagame. Standard LO Volc can't hit him. Standard LO Alakazam (the Fire+Grass one) can't hit him. The super...

GGs to Europe. You never want to see tournaments decided on games like that in the end, so thanks for taking it in good grace. I've already mentioned to a few people but worth saying publicly - its time to hang up my boots and move on from Smogon. I've been around a long ass time, originally...

Not gonna long post because I feel a second haha react bomb coming but I agree with the premise here obviously. We’re not teaching people how to fish, we’re just giving them fish. Some of the ideas above to make our resources more interactive are good, and this was really the root of what I was...

Fully anticipating being clowned for my take here but here goes: I think there is a risk Sample Teams have lost sight of what they were originally intended to be - an intro to the tier for new players - and have shifted into a different purpose, almost eclipsing the need for players to learn...

This set is cheese but this was super winnable for you, despite what looks like a bad matchup. The set relies on not getting crit for upwards of 40 turns but you need to actually be going for that option. Spending all your turns switching and vswitching, which doesn't actually capitalise on your...

Volcarona exists as a punish to long-established trends around Latios Spikes LandoT TTar Politoed Jirachi Excadrill and so on. The people who want to ban Volcarona enjoy that bit of the game and think Volcarona is needlessly strong at abusing the best mons in the game + having coverage to beat...

I support a player survey. A permanent source of frustration to me on Smogon, either in tiering or in Policy Review threads, is the lack of effective way to gauge support on a post. If you just "like" a post then people say reacts don't count for anything. If you just post and echo the same...
