Smogon Premier League is here and the team collection is now available. Support your team!
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.
Obviously will throw support for my own concept. I do agree with EarthFlax that there are considerations to be had over introducing a new teambuilding style into the meta, but I think we could steer the concept away from a match-up fish style Type-Spam like Psyspam to something more balanced /...
Name: I'm Gonna Spammmmmm!
Description: This CAP will attempt to introduce a new style of typespam-offense into the meta.
Justification: Over the years of competitive Pokemon, we have seen the rise (or fall) of many different styles of type-spam offense, a team building style of...
Looking at the Sugimori Art, its actually crazy how apparent the X and Y motif on the Megas are, and I can't believe so many people try to vehemently deny it when TAHK0 pointed it out. You can literally see it on the Z megas too. Mega Lucario Z has the zigzag on his tails and the little Z-like...
Anyone have any good ideas for using a SD Taunt Lando? Really love that set on that mon, but I'm having trouble making good teams that could slot it in.
Would it be that big of a PR disaster? I kind of don't think so. Like yeah there will be people speaking out about the shutdown, but I fully expect the response to be something more akin to that of the response to "Free Melee" or smth like that. Like I fully envision most casuals going "Oh yeah...
Hate to be negative, but I personally wasn't that happy when Champions was revealed, and now probably even less so. I just cannot see a world where this game won't lead to an eventual DMCA of Showdown. Like call me crazy, but it's actually insane to me how confident some people online are about...
Isn't SPL supposed to be the peak of the OU metagame, the very spot where the metagame gets driven and where the best OU players duke it out, and every other venue of OU play inferior to it in quality? Who cares if Corviknight is only as good as it is due to being used in tournament setting if...
Alright rant over. I really don't understand the hate for Open World Pokemon unless you are just burnt out on Open World games in general which I guess could be fair. Like all the pitfalls people say Open Worlds fall into are just not things that are an issue for the core Pokemon experience...
I suggested it first in the thread so you already know I'm biased in favor of Magic Bounce being added to the slate. Beyond what I said in my initial post and what others have said, I feel like it has the most clearly defined utility for CAP for both the defensive and offensive form. Freeing up...
Magic Bounce:
Speaking of abilities that allow us to avoid the pitfalls of paralysis, let's talk about magic bounce. I think most of the discussion right now has centered around the issue of compressing the utility which walls need with offensive firepower that cleaners want. Magic Bounce...
This isn't really related to the Roaring Goon ban (thank god for that), but I just wanted to highlight a wall breaker that I think is going dummy af right now in the meta, and y'all need to hop on the train.
:Volcanion:
Honestly, actually any specs special water-type breaker is guaranteed to...
Currently busy with some stuff, so I'll answer the other three questions later, but I wanted to put special attention on this one specific one because I do think it will definitely be the biggest challenge we will face when implementing the concept with the added framework.
What stands out as...
