    Beams vs. Blasts

    Beams are the truth. When I was a child renting Pokémon Stadium, I was convinced that beam moves were simply the best moves in the games. Look at Hyper Beam. That's the best move. It had to be when it's that cool. Surf? Forget that dude, we have Bubblebeam. Screw Psychic, Psybeam's OHKOing...

    The Littlest Cup: The Rise of RBY Little Cup

    A very cool look at one of the strangest crop of actors the LC rule sets have ever produced. Seeing things like Pidgey get a tiny spotlight just for being a Flying-type and a Quick Attack user really does bring in the sense of scale; it really does feel like elementary school where some kid's...

    adding gambling to more goods and services

    Oh damn. Damn dude you really got hosed opening this post, not going to lie. If I were you, I would swipe again and see if you can get a real hit on stream. The rates for an illustrator rare post are high enough you've got to hit one eventually. I promise you I am not resealing Smogon posts so...

    Proposal Remove the Pomeg Glitch from Official Formats

    Local pokemon movepool legality freak here reporting in. Wanted to pop in here as an old Wi-Fi mod who's moderated legality on the forums and was also just around in the Little Cup Forums community for some of the talk about Pomeg Glitch's original initial use cases for LC. (Disclaimer: I have...

    Hobbies Taking A Trip Down Memory Lane: Toys-To-Life and Figurine Collecting (among other things)

    I am the proud owner of one of every Smash Bros amiibo! They're on display in my living room / game room in a little smash bros display: I also went through the trouble of getting both prints of the villager smash amiibo since they're both so distinct. You've got the original giant eyed...

    Smog Awards 2025: Nomination Round!

    As one of the local in-game old men hovering around here, I want to make some Orange Islands-based nominations for you all to consider. Tossing extra attention to Vengeance417 for the best OI poster award. Not only has he been a constant presence in the bits of OI involving battle strategy like...

    Pokemon Legends: Z-A Combat/PVP Discussion Thread

    Quick heads up with your EV spreads: you're dropping EVs here for level 50 play with the way the stat formula works. Make sure your EVs aren't divisible by 8 at level 50 (while still being in intervals of 4 of course) to get all your stat points. You're effectively running a spread of 244 HP /...

    Pokemon Legends: Z-A Combat/PVP Discussion Thread

    Far and away the easiest climb to A rank I've ever had. I went X-0-0-0 on the climb and got it cleared in like 85 minutes. This is a great pub stomping team for the climb up; really great at instantly annihilating what less experienced players might gravitate to like sashless Garchomp or any...

    Pokemon Legends: Z-A Combat/PVP Discussion Thread

    Just piggy backing off of this because I want to take the time to post the list of the most powerful (non mega) meteor beams in the game. It's hilarious what a weight this move puts on a Pokemon's viability. Every rock-type with this move and a pulse has its ears pricked up.
