Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

OLT has recently shown how much of a menace the Alolan Ninetales + Arctozolt core is and why both of these are in the A rank in the viability rankings at the point of me writing this. With Alolan Ninetales setting up the hail and Aurora Veil, Arctozolt can come in and claim a few KOs with...
Goodbye King’s Rock and GOOD RIDDANCE!!!
EDIT (so that this isn’t a one-liner post): Finally the days of Cloyster cheese are behind us (Weavile to a lesser extent). To see that King’s Rock Cloyster had higher usage in OLT than mons like Zeraora & the Slow twins is appalling. I’ve wanted this...
As someone who has been using lately, I would like to vouch for it to be moved up to B- at the very least. Shell Smash to +2 with King’s Rock can cheese its way through teams with ease. Especially with paralysis support from other teammates like Thunder Wave Grimmsnarl on Dual Screen teams...
I'm making the request to change my name to SaberSeven. I learned recently that making a second account is against the rules (whoopsie) and I have also decided to come clean. Mods, you can give me an infraction on my account for this and I take full responsibility for my mishap not knowing about...
Dead thread, but nominating Victini to S. This thing has two things really going for it in this tier: Versatility and Firepower. My favorite Victini set from back in the day is the Banded set. When Banded Victini gets a free switch in, something is gonna get destroyed. Between V-Create and Bolt...
I've given up on trying to make reqs, but after some trial and error going a combined 30-10 through 2 alts, I can say that the amount of pressure that Arena Trap can put on a team is incredible. There have been games where I would just have my Eject Button Toxapex bring in Duggy to eliminate a...
Did a quick run through of Sapphire with Heracross. Once it get rolling, it's a killing machine. Winona, you have to avoid Swellow. You can set up Bulk Ups on Pelipper and clean from there with Rock Tomb (with items of course; Aerial Ace from Pelipper still hurts). Tate & Liza was a challenge...
Completed a run of X last night. Will be writing up on a few mons.
Availability: Route 4
Stats: High SpA & SpD. Very good Base 90 speed to back it up.
Typing: Grass/Poison is a mixed bag. Excels early and mid-game, but tends to peter out towards the endgame.
Movepool: Getting Giga Drain at...
