The fact that Magikarp still evolves into Gyarados at level 20. It's a blatant sign of the inexplicable refusal to change a Pokemon's evolution level in general across generations, but it's especially apparent and eye-widening in this particular instance, because of the simple fact of the...

Amazing team! Especially since it's a sun team without Walking Wake, which is normally considered mandatory on the playstyle due to its basically-perfect stats and water coverage being so rare yet valuable for the playstyle. With that said...has the fact that this team has no psychic resistance...

How does Haxorus exactly "break" stall? I keep seeing various memes and claims thrown around like it's some a-priori knowledge/fact it runs over most stalls, but....how/what does it do exactly? And with what set in particular? Hell, what DOES it even set up on safely without losing too much...

I've been looking for and wondering what team structure would Spa-oriented Iron Valiant fit on, and what kind of surrounding teammates it would need to succeed. Thank you so much for this team!

:sv/raging bolt: The sheer size and length of the mon's neck -particularly in tandem with its "raging" prefix- have been the source of many a meme around the community, even to this day. It especially creates another sense of ridicule when put alongside the rest of its otherwise relatively...

Thanks so much for this, honestly the kyurem unban borderline killed my motivation to have another go at rain again, as if figuring out the remaining few slots for it wasn't already hard enough. How do you even deal with it coming in and mindlessly spamming freeze dry on the majority of mons...

I'd actually been looking for a choice band tera dragon pult team for a while now, struggling to come up with good enough teammates to make a team on my own. This team not only delivers on that regard, but even features lokix (a really awesome mon with its bevy of unique traits)! It even...

I must also say I really like this team and the creativity behind it. Fezandipiti's often a mon that seems awkward to fit on teams, but as mentioned above actually covers many weaknesses really well, while even using its higher attack stat on this set. Zarude too benefitting 3x from sun is...

So sorry for this bump but I feel like it's warranted for this one particular instance On a completely unprecedented turn of events, I was informed that my team was actually featured on a Jimothy Cool video! I never expected this post/team to take off as much as it did, much less to this...

Many people in the meta discussion thread expressed that :archaludon: would still be a good addition to rain teams even with electro shot banned, by just replacing it with thunder (due to the mon patching up the majority of the playstyle's issues/benefitting with thunder just the same). With...

Happy birthday Finchinator! Thank you so much for your unwavering patience/dedication towards the community, both in and out of the forums. With that said, one seemingly overlooked aspect of the Kyurem ban not mentioned here so far is that rain gets better now by the ban of a strong...

Kyurem: Ban

Earlygame, raging bolt/iron crown will be your primary switchins to it; raging bolt is preferred, as grassy terrain+leftovers allows it to offset sustained damage quickly, while iron crown fears a super effective knock off on the switch. As the match goes on, you should try to wear it down as...

bump time Same team, another suspect down. Yes, I really did just have the great idea of doing all these reqs in (basically) 1 sitting over the course of an entire evening even skipping dinner over it, yes I did eat afterwards and before writing this post don't worry. Yes it's not the...
