    Resource PU Simple Question, Simple Answers Thread

    Would treating "PU" as standing for "Practically Unused" be acceptable? I know this wasn't the original intention of the tier's creators, but it would pave the way for naming any potential lower tiers, such as for example VU ("Virtually Unused") or LU (Literally Unused).

    Resource OU Good Cores

    Bulky Volcarona is a monster. Just take a look at how it picks apart Tapu Lele 1 on 1 with no critical hits involved. Amazing both in offense and in stall, though it obviously doesn't fancy taking critical hits with all these boosts. Or being hazed for that matter. Dies against specially...

    Metagame Workshop

    Another idea. Overview: Remember that one Cooltrainer in Johto on the way to the Victory Road? She said something like: "I'm not in favor of using overly powerful moves. I want to win, but I don't want to hurt Pokemon". I don't think this has been suggested yet, but that makes an interesting...

    Metagame Workshop

    I haven't been posting much, so I don't know if this has been tried up to now, but what do you think about holding metas that restrict you to Pokemon from say only gen 1, gens 1-2, 1-3 etc, all the while including all the most recent moves, type relationships items and other mechanics? If...

    Hypothetical: what would you think of 2-for-2 natures?

    All natures introduced up to now either don't affect stats at all or trade off one for another. Do you think it would be a good idea for GameFreak to introduce 2-for-2 natures in subsequent generations? Say, something like: Feisty Nature +Atk; +SpA -Def; -SpD I think some Pokemon would...

    Sooo Encore + Disable means someone's gonna be locked into Struggle?

    Ladder Anything Goes

    I'd imagine Speed Boost + Double Team Blaziken would work fairly well too. Game Freak did create the "- accuracy" moves for that precise reason, now didn't they? If there were no evasion clause in the lower tiers, everyone would be using Swift, Shadow Punch and Feint Attack. Do you think...

    UU Simple Questions Thread

    Guys, the UU page needs to have Pidgeotite added to its listing of banned items. It says in the Strategy Dex that Mega Pidgeot is BL, so yeah. Sorry if it's the wrong thread for that, but it's the quickest one I could think of :P

    Ladder Anything Goes

    Hahahaha, can't believe you actually did that! That was indeed fun as hell to watch. I wonder why the guy didn't switch out any Pokemon though. To be fair, without the Sleep Clause you can abuse this if you're lucky for Moody to give you 3x Speed, but it is so luck-heavy I wouldn't count on it...

    Ladder Anything Goes

    Still, there is something tempting about an Mean Look + Spore + Lock On + Sheer Cold Smeargle holding a Focus Sash. Pretty much a guaranteed single kill. I agree though that it's too situational and requires too much to build up, also Smeargle could use baton passed speed to support this set...

    Guys, what do you think about Sleep + Lock On/Mind Reader + OHKO move strats? as late game cleanup?

    XY OU OU Balance Team

    I lead using Mew 90% of the time, and it's almost always a good decision. Mamo is used mostly for Ice Shard and FEAR operations.

    XY OU OU Balance Team

    Why oblivious doe? I though Thick Fat was better, helping against Fire attacks and all. Ok. made some changes according to your advice and I'll see how matches go: - Upped Zard's speed investment to 140 at the cost of HP - Gave Latios 3 attacks + Defog on Life Orb: Draco Meteor, Psyshock and...
