I've been playing ADV on and off for a couple years now, watching the meta evolve from the fringes and building some teams for fun. I decided it's time to share some tech I've had lying around. I put some things in bold to make it easier to find specific subjects and grasp the ideas I'm...

Is there a resource somewhere for calcing Beat Up damage? Calc seems to treat it as a 10BP Dark attack.

So originally I was running a sun HO team with Victreebel on it as a mixed sweeper. Then I saw that it learned Encore and I started experimenting with it. I think this Pokemon might have a legitimate niche in this metagame. It hits pretty hard with 105/100 attack stats and decent STAB options...

I'm not a high level player exactly, but I've been running Snorlax with Yawn + Focus Punch and I think this is some nice tech to let Lax cipple or even beat the things that want to switch into them. Yawn just synergizes with punch so well because of the pressure to switch out or have a key...

First off, thank you for sharing your ideas. It was nice to see you dissect the team and rebuild it from scratch with your thought process next to it. That said, I do have a couple questions. Overall I agree with you in a broad sense. I've fought some stall teams and they were pretty annoying to...

Introduction Hey guys, I'm a guy that decides to pop into Showdown every half a year to battle some. My main tier is usually UU, because I like the mons that tend to be in there. Lately I've been seeing some moderate success with this team on the lower ladder of USUM UU. Was wondering what...

How come nobody has mentioned AV yet? This seems like an amazing AV user to me, resisting water and ground and also eating up moonblasts easily with AV's added bulk. Without EVs, the current Clef's unaware wall set does 25.6 - 30.2% damage and with max SpDef and HP EVs that turns into 16.5 -...

So, lately I've been screwing around with this here squad: Importable: Aesthetigron (Aggron-Mega) @ Aggronite Ability: Heavy Metal Shiny: Yes EVs: 240 HP / 16 Def / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Stealth Rock - Heavy Slam - Roar - Thunder Wave M-Aggron is there to get up rocks reliably...

Hidden Power Ice on my Raikou randomly changed to Hidden Power Dark. I opened teambuilder after I won a match through a forfeit. Raikou was on the field at that point and the last move I clicked was Shadow Ball. I checked the difference in power between Volt Switch and TBolt, as I'd forgotten...
