Peaked at number 18 and I doubt I am going any higher, so I would like to agree with the sentiment banding around that Dragonite and Dondozo are overpowered. If they can get an idiot like me up that high, there's probably something wrong. But so I can add something new to the conversation, been...

Stall is very strong in this tier unquestionably, but rather than complaining about the king, let's talk regicide. With Regenstall cores (which seem to be the most common on the ladder), it is usually the case that one half handles the physical hits and the other half the special hits, case in...

Been having fun with rain offense on the ladder. It doesn't get many new tools, but the few it does get coupled with the inherent power of rain isn't to be underestimated. These include Will-o-Wisp on Pelipper (thanks Wingull) to actually put a stop to physical setup sweepers rather than just...

Since my favorite Partners in Crime gimmick has been raised here, I'd like to throw my version out to the public. Stantler also makes a very good buddy with Kilowattrel and its ability, Competitive. Add an Adrenline Orb into the mix, and the bird can have +4 Special Attack and +1 Speed from the...

I got to the highs of top 25 with on ladder with my current build, the best I have ever done in Shared Power, so now's the time to risk my beloved ladder placements in the hope of furthering discussion. Hopefully someone more competent can take this concept further. You know Palafin. Most fear...

In my experience at least, Sirfetch'd has revealed itself to be a half decent mon in this tier, mostly as a gimmicky revenge killer of offensive mons like Lucario and Terrakion, which also demolishing most bulky steel types. With superior bulk to most offensive mons, it can usually take one hit...

I have had surprising success with a certain mon in this meta since ORAS, to the point where I am willing to say Dragalge might be a sleeper pick for dedicated trick room teams. I would say it has got worse over the years due to meta shifts (hello Magearna), and it may just be the surprise...

First true community post! Hi everyone! The fact that Necrozma has a solid Stored Power set is known at this point, but here's another variant I've been having some success with. Chaos Heart (Necrozma) @ Leftovers Ability: Prism Armor EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0...
