I find all this intriguing considering how i just started playing UU more seriously only to have it all get flipped around. I honestly think the rotom-W move is going to affect the meta more than the other stuff dropping down just because it has become the go to defogger for so many of recent...

Golem-A @ Expert Belt/Air Balloon Ability: Magnet Pull EVs: 96 Atk / 160 SpA/ 252 Spe Hasty Nature - Discharge - Fire Blast - Earthquake - Stone Edge/Explosion/Volt Switch Basically to maximize what it is able to kill with Magnet Pull in what is currently OU. Discharge over thunderbolt because...

so since my previous question only got a "it most likely should" answer, i'll ask again to see if someone can confirm this. Has anyone tested Liquid Voice to see if it causes all sound moves including opponent's and teammates to become water type or does it just affect the Pokemon with that...

Did anyone test liquid voice to see if it applies to all sound based moves, not just ones used by the Pokemon with the ability? For example, switching Primarina in on a Hyper Voice, does that Hyper Voice hit for Water type damage or does it only work for moves Primarina uses? I couldnt find any...

Introduction Hey everyone! This is Rykard here doing my first RMT on Smogon for UU. I have been using this team for a very long time now and only recently actually attempted to ladder with it, pretty easily breaking into the top 100. I didn't have a ton of patience to keep going, but it has...

Hey! So actually getting to see a full write up on this team is really interesting and is making me wonder a couple of things about Dugtrio that could be tried out just for purses of seeing if they work. In place of Hidden Power Ice since from what I can tell, this team deals with Garchomp and...

Mienshao @ Assault Vest Ability: Regenerator EVs: 40 HP / 216 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - High Jump Kick - Poison Jab - Knock Off - U-turn AV Specially Defensive Mienshao. Basically, the idea behind this was to have a threatening attacker that can repeatedly take special attacks to either...

If you are curious, 64 speed EVs on Tentacruel allows you to outspeed Modest, max speed Nidoqueen. I don't know if that is a benchmark to necessarily be aware of, but it is something to think about. Also, I'd throw at least 12 EVs into Umbreon's speed to beat speed ties with other base 65s, but...

1) I was spectating a battle today and found the Zoroark failed to copy Mega Manectric's sprite when the Illusion ability was up and instead copied the sprite of the regular form of Manectric. This occurs on turn 10: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uubeta-75731489 2) I recently watched a...

^ Do not run sub on belly drum slurpuff. Use Flamethrower instead for the steel coverage. Anyway, with the way things are, I'm more or less curious how this is going to mess with lower tiers, specifically NU and if there will be a need for something like a tier below that to actually exist for...

I just recently fought a Genesect using the Burn Drive item and the sprite was not altered to reflect the use of the drive item. I then proceeded to test this with all of the different drives using regular and shiny versions and nothing about the sprite changed in regards the use of any of these...
