@Tidal :pmd/lopunny: - shoutout to my bestie who will literally never ever stop talking and is like, always available for tests and shit. no clue what she knows about PU (her only DPP knowledge afaik is watching me prep for dpppl and looking at stolen jabbathegriffin teams) BUT she will be a huge help to literally anyone who asks.

I am also fairly knowledgeable in SM because SM tiers are for ballers, but as stated I am a very active team presence (yapper + tests) (gulch was meant to help me test sm uu and HAS NOT!!) and am sure to be of good value to whoever picks me :>
 
I am a valuable pick for RBY PU because I am lucky. Without hax we can achieve nothing; I am a hax merchant.

For ORAS PU I would like to shoutout myself. I won the most recent ORAS PU cup, I've got a lot of wins on the sheet despite some recent teamtour losses, and I helped build and test for the Magmortars for several of the past years (which most notably helped Xrn go undefeated in ORAS in a recent PUPL.) I'm also highly capable of building and testing in SS, SM, BW, and DPP and I will help keep the chat active

Other person you should definitely draft is 2xTheTap . You would be a fool to not pay up for someone who's this passionate about building and innovating the tier in 2025. He can appear quirky but by all means he's a serious player with some very insightful takes on the meta.
 
Hello Everyone, I just saw that Platum Micciu and Hiko were not picked in the mocks (platum was but only 3k at the end of the 2nd one), maybe it was just because those are just mocks but I'm doing this message to vouch for them anyway. As the former France captain for the PUWC I know them very well,

Platum has been really active in the tier lately either on the ladder or in the tours with good records, and trust me he can build as well as he plays,

Micciu went 3-0 in a pool with gulch finch and pais in puwc and is just a super good pilot in general, and also really involved in the team life,

Hiko you probably know him already as a SPL Player, he's really one of the best SV players out there currently imo, and on top of that he knows PU well (4-0 at the PUWC).

They all deserve at least 5k, it would be a shame to miss them when you can put a small 3k !

In any case, good luck for your drafts !

BIG TONY'S PUBD PR​


hello personal used ive once again returned to provide some excellent content. As we all know there's no good tour without a bit of drama so ive took it upon myself to make atleast 1 NEW enemy before the tour ends and what better way to start my quest off then with a pr as no one else was doing one. Of course i will not be including my own team as i can only self glaze my drafting prowess so many times but let me be clear IT'S SCOWLERS SEASON and these ratings are whos most likely to take the silver medal. Anyways without furthur ado here are the official unofficial pubd prs:


1. :ambipom: Chungy mungeys

SV: Larry
SV: Bouff
SS: TJ
SM: Hacker
ORAS: DugZa
BW: ninjadog
DPP: BeatsBlack
ADV: zoowi
GSC: LustfulLice
RBY: Maris Bonibell
Being unburdened from not dropping 13k of their budget on a self buy the chungy mungeys got to abuse the new drafting system to the fullest causing many other managers to wonder if they are really worth more than 4 ninjadogs. These questions may never be answered but what will be answered is why this team is #1 in rankings. Starting off the sv core is extremely solid both Larry and Bouff ran the sv pool in pupl and both were in scl combo'd with build support from dugza and bleahey. The masters gens also look solid with Tj making his return from smogon prison to reclaim his former glory and farm the ss pool, hacker who is a great clicker and is familiar with smpu from pupl, and dugza who can support both of them while also rounding out the masters gens as their oras. Ninjadog is a shiest clicker beatsblack is shiest in general both combined with support from skrimps make for a terrifying bw and dpp slot although they're both in tough pools lastly strong self sufficient players in Zoowi, Lice, and Maris to round out the old gens. I could see this team maybe struggling in sm, bw, and adv as they're all really stacked pools but I doubt any of these players to go 0-X. overall amazing draft by hex and chungy truly a shame theyre gonna lose week 1 tho

:totodiLUL:

2. :golett: Gigantic Goletts

SV: tom holland
SV: SPHZ
SS: OranBerryBlissey10
SM: Thiago Nunes
ORAS: etern
BW: Cow
DPP: JabbaTheGriffin
ADV: Plague
GSC: SANKE CARP
RBY: Wanted in 49 States
on the opposite side of the coin the goletts decided to both selfbuy leaving them with less money to splurge on the various 3ks left up. luckily this allows the pu holdovers champion to show us what he's made of with spiderman and spf100 (formerly known as sunscreen) manning the sv front we will get to see tom build more teams that people will steal for seasonal. Beyond that the goletts also went all in on obb who's looking to replicate his ss success from pupl while also being able to help in the sv department. Pupl champion Thiago Nunes unshackled from the chains of the BO3 slot and blessed with tom holland support is probably a top contender in this pool based off of pure shiest and clicking ability. Oras etern designed to get etern as far away from oricorio as possible should be a great fit assuming he was baiting with the "huge amounts of Inactivity" front as hes a very good clicker whos done well in other oras low tiers. The core is then rounded out with good players that are in really tough pools. Cow Jabba and plague are all very good and Cow specifically is on his revenge arc for to avenge his awful luck in pupl but they're all in very strong pools this combined with little support (sphz might play bw idk) could be problematic but I expect one of these 3 to pop off and not need it. Lastly in the retirement home gens we have sanke carp who reportedly called an opposing manager in a zu team tour a "useless dog" (-1000 aura) and wanted in 49 states who might have the best name in all of smogon (+1000 aura) overall I think as long as tom and seraphz overcook in sv and preform well this should be a very strong team

3. :altaria: Alt Girl Altarias

SV: Micciu
SV: avarice
SS: The Strap
SM: MZ
ORAS: asa
BW: Tack
DPP: Heysup
ADV: nebi
GSC: BloodAce
RBY: AM
after having their star player not sign up due to fear of being upbid (imagine telling that to someone AFTER watching the draft) the taris proceeded to draft a very meri core team built around self buy manager asa, they drafted both Micciu and avarice for strong clickers to pilot asa's silly teams which assuming asa doesnt crash out from building 3 slots everyweek should make for a solid sv core. Next in ss they have THE STRAP who is a solid player but im not sure if theyre very familiar with the tier leaving it to lyra to do most of the building for the slot. The ishtar slot (SM) is filled by MegaZard who is definitely knowledgeable and self sufficient enough to farm most of the sm pool and is also helpful if he decides to help out with sv. After that orASA is here after the taris failed to upbid etern for their oras slot. Asa imfamously haxed the shit out of me in the oras classic tour so I expect her to also hax the shit out of everyone else and go X-0. Tack and heysup are both top threats in bw and dpp respectively (especially with baddy and sleid support) which will be interesting to watch since both tiers are also very stacked in terms of players. Sebi made me do a double take thinking asa and meri didnt start scizornite only to find out they name changed, hoping to continue their success after winning adv slam theyre a good builder and clicker in the tiers and are sure to be a scary opponent. Lastly bloodace my glorious king and am for a strong round off on the ancient tiers. Overall while i dont think its as strong as other teams i do expect the taris to do well so long as their slots dont burn out or cancer (also free LOOR)

4. :magby: m.a.a.d city magbys

SV: Feliburn
SV: DripLegend
SS: robjr
SM: Kiyo
ORAS: ManOfMany
BW: EviGaro
DPP: Drud
ADV: Quarante8
GSC: BeeOrSomething
RBY: NotVeryCake
feels a little criminal how low this squad is ranked but the entire pool for the draft is just so stacked. This is the old folks team and Evi put it best saying "The median age of 37 makes the Magbys a contender for either a win or a trip to the ER with a collective sprained back". Anyways the sv core consists of feliburn and driplegend with probably drud supporting in the builds department. Ru final boss feliburn is definitely a solid clicker I don't think I've seen him pu before and with the tier in a weird state right now it might be tough for him in the earlier weeks and while drip is known for clutching finals he's also known for making some questionable plays sometimes which makes me think this team might have trouble their first week. Robjr has had a bit of a coldstreak in pupl and puwc but it's still robjr and he has tons of knowledge and experience here and will probably do good. Kiyo and manofmany both solid options with MoM doing really well in the pu classic tours even winning the oras one rounding out a powerful masters gens core. In bw we have Evi whos solid but once again in a strong pool same with drud good player in a strong pool although drud will want to stat pad for his best preforming pu team tours record trophy. Quarante8 is someone im not super familiar with I know they play other adv tiers but i havent seen them play adv low tiers. Hopefully aurist can help or they just know the tier and I'm clueless. In the dinosaur tiers we have BeeOrSomething who self flamed themselves in their gsc pu rankings and cake who didnt both have experience atleast in the tiers and should be alright playing wise. Overall this draft is solid and is kinda a dark horse team imo but I'll be excited to see if django can replicate some of his team's success from puwc

5. :vigoroth: vigilante vigoroths

SV: Gallinova
SV: Platum
SS: 2xTheTap
SM: Estarossa
ORAS: BP
BW: Tizio Potente Ao
DPP: Xiri
ADV: Oathkeeper
GSC: Lambovino
RBY: Sabelette
this is definitely the one that gets me a enemy. The vigoroths decided to run a very unique lineup, benching self-buy vy and putting their most expensive star player into the dpp mines with a bunch of sharks. Yandaud is presumably unavailable this week (update: he was benched to support...) resulting in the sv Lineup of Gallinova and Platum. While they're both good clickers and definitely have godlike sv support from xiri yandaud ddjoe and sufys (he would never cancer) it still just seems like a weaker line up then rest of the sv pool. 2xTap is a solid ss, Im utter new gen but i know they've been around for a long and are familiar with the tier. Estarossa is fire in sm and has a cat which is a HUGE part of their value as a player, even more so then winning pupl. Now as BP's bestie I naturally want to glaze his clicking abilities but what the hell a polar bear doing in gen6pu? seems sufys has done his signature "dont slot me" trick and bp is bpaying the price. Tizio the goat himself is having his breakout season in bwpu unfortunately he decided to pick one of the hardest pools to go up against and with little support it'll be tough for tizio to master the meta. Now I already mentioned xiri slotted into dpp but dude's a swiss army knife and solid at a bunch of pu tiers allowing him to support the rest of his team while doing good in dpp hopefully this can help wjth some of the less experienced players. Adv Oathkeeper is interesting I would've expected this to be bp or amity even tho oath has seemed to improve a fair bit recently still im not super high on him here but maybe with support he'll pop off. Lastly the 800B.C. tiers we have Lambovino and Sabelette both are solid clickers although im a bit surprised seeing lambo here might be a good time to mention i have no idea about whos gonna do good in gsc or rby and going entirely off "teehee felt like it". Anyways as much as i want to see this team succeed cause they got lots of cool people I really dont expect them to do well but if they do it'll be the underdog story of the century.
