Venomoth has all the makings of a terrible in-game Pokemon. Its base form is really weak and doesn't have an early evolution level to make up for it, its level-up movepool is unremarkable, and it's usually outclassed by earlier available options. This was the sentiment I held for Venomoth for a...

I recall Donphan/Hariyama/Primeape assists being remarkably slow on activation, but I don't remember if that's actually the case for the Past version of themselves (ex: Past Gallade and current Gallade have different assists). I do however remember using Hippopotas for my assist in the Magnezone...

Seaking's combination of mediocre stats, inconvenient availability, evolution level, and most of all atrocious level-up movepool are all factors towards its inevitable bottom placing for in-game usage lists. The earliest available Goldeen is in the Hoenn games, where you can Old Rod for one at...

I see a bunch of analyses where the "Typing: " and "Movepool: " headings are not bolded. Be sure to comb through them and adjust the formatting accordingly.

Ok so I know you're on the grind on that STUPID Magnezone mission and all, but I might as well drop some upcoming Dark Temple boss tactics so you don't have to grind in the dark like I did. I will preface this by saying that every single one of the Dark Temple's bosses will punish your assist...

So you've finally reached that boss, huh? I will not fault you at all if you take at least a whole week or two just to even see the possibility of beating this boss by the time you've finished updating your backlog. I think I had level 4 assist with level 3 power & cooldown on my Hippopotas...

Well it seems you have a bit of backlog (since you mentioned using Blaziken to try and farm Tangrowth slate) so I'm not exactly sure where you're at for the moment, but I'm sure you'd already know by now how much of an godsend Piplup is at the Fire Temple. You can pretty much just pour your AP...

Speaking of Hoenn mons that would really like to be available earlier... In Route 111 (the route north of Mauville City), there is a small pond next to the Winstrate house. The Old Rod would yield you the usual Magikarp as well as criminally underleveled Goldeens (levels 5-10 in RSE, level 5...

While I do understand this reasoning, I have to wonder if Alolan Golem wouldn't be a viable alternative as well. 1) It has an easier time vs Kingambit since it takes even less damage from Kingambit than Probopass does with similar investment (albeit only ~1-2% less) and won't insta-die to Low...

I was waiting until tier shifts to see if there are any meta changes, so I guess I can say my piece now. [SET] name: Nasty Plot move 1: Nasty Plot move 2: Thunderbolt move 3: Focus Blast / Grass Knot move 4: Flash Cannon / Psychic item: Heavy-Duty Boots / Life Orb ability: Prankster nature...

I know the exact mission you're referring to; the Magnezone mission is absolute hell to play through on solo, and if the mission spawns Claydols instead of Bronzongs which you can dodge, it's downright impossible. FUCK this mission. Edit: It is actually possible to S Rank Magnezone, but you'd...

As someone who's contributed much with the RSE in-game tiering lists, this statement is kind of misleading. In-game doesn't really use "stalling strategies" much at all; it is usually more efficient to just spam X items + ~1 Hyper Potion to sweep an opponent instead of relying on passive damage...

Lycanroc-Dusk @ Choice Band / Life Orb Ability: Tough Claws Tera Type: Fighting / Dark EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Accelerock - Stone Edge - Close Combat - Crunch I'm assuming this is the LycanDusk set we've come to know and fear; just really dangerous and powerful attacks...

Ambipom @ Life Orb Ability: Technician Tera Type: Normal EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Fake Out - Triple Axel - Low Kick - Knock Off / U-turn So Ambipom is infamous for being a Pokemon not worthy of respect due to both not being a specialized revenge killer...

the Hearthflame Ogerpon happens to have Mold Breaker, so maybe you overlooked that
