I have a Mudsdale on my team right now, and I do have to say, it is a bit of a shame that Mudsdale has such a poor movepool. Ultimately, I think that is its biggest shortcoming overall. If it had access to better coverage moves or some form of recovery outside of rest, I think it would be more...

So, as a science major in college, I have discussed GMOs pretty frequently. As far as health risks for GMOs are concerned, there isn't really much reason to be worried about it, most of the science is pretty mixed, although you have to make sure you know who is saying what, as some studies are...

So, I haven't really dived into the new metagame, yet (mostly because I haven't finished playing through Sun and Moon.) It is also pretty daunting, but I think if I put together some of my old teams and just experiment with some strategies, it should be interesting to see how these things fall...

I haven't really used Crabominable much yet, but I do think that is has a lot of potential as a Trick Room sweeper as a lot of the pokemon in the generation seem to have. I also think it is interesting how VGC and doubles strategies seem to be more of the focus than single battle strats.

Clefable at number 3 This thing has been pretty consistently incredible throughout this generation, so I'd say it's worthy of a 3 spot.

Here's mine for random pokemon pranking someone.

Hey there, Albacore! I took your advice. I think Landorus-T was a good deal for me, as he not only works as a hazards setter, but also sponges hits a lot more than I thought he would. He also has good enough stats to warrant a wallbreaker, too. I have had success in Talonflame as well, but more...

I don't follow the anime all that much, but this series looks intriguing, from what I have seen at least.

My Opinions on These Mons. MegaZard X- A->A+:Fenced. I haven't run a lot of teams or seen a lot of people use MegaZard X lately in the metagame, so from a usage standpoint, it doesn't seem to be a popular choice, but it has a lot going for it. Fire/Dragon is a very handy typing, giving it some...

I think that the idea of alternate universes is definetly involved here. We already have a lot of connections to previous games, like the Zygarde cells and cores, Magearna, and with the whole worm hole deal being a possibility with the Ultra Beasts...I don't think it is far fetched if the Delta...

Rockruff's evolutions are really intriguing. I was expecting some kind of werewolf-looking thing, with the midnight form seems to be going for. I was not expecting it to be split based on what time it evolved. The Ultra Beast concept is extremely interesting, too. I wonder if they are going to...

Yeah, I agree with most of what people have said. As far as random encounters go, Pokemon isn't really bad. In later games, they've even taken to having a healer midway through long areas like mountains, cave systems, and other places, so I think random encounters aren't awful. And if you have a...

I think the elimination/reworking of HMs is a pretty popular sentiment in the Pokemon community, though it is hotly debated. I think that the concept of HMs- special abilities that serve as checkpoints to your progress- isn't a bad idea, really. It's the execution that I think is flawed. HMs...

Hey, everyone! I am sort of reviving this thread, as I have some new team ideas, plus some updates for my old team here. If this isn't accpetable, I can make a new thread, but I also know that the RMT section likes as little threads as possible, so I figured having one place for all of my teams...

This is a real tragedy. I wish the best for those effected and healing for Belgium as a whole.
