National Dex UU Set Compendium
Approved by National Dex UU Forum Mods | Hosted by Iride and Danbear02​

Welcome to the National Dex UU Set Compendium. This resource aims to provide newer players with an in-depth collection of the most optimal sets for Pokemon that are considered to be viable in the current metagame, according to our Viability Rankings. We hope this helps to ease the team building process, as the contents listed here will also be regularly updated depending on how recent shifts affect the metagame, such as the discovery of new options on certain Pokemon or if they become outclassed by another drop within the given time period.


IMPORTANT: We are open to submissions from others. We will be actively checking this thread for responses and if you would like to see a set added and/or removed, then feel free to make a post here.

[Danbear02]

It's been a bit too long since the last Set Compendium Update. We've gotten some new additions to the tier, lost some friends (or enemies), and have seen quite a bit of metagame development. Here's an overview of the changes made!

Notable Changes

Removed

Unranked:
Banned:
Unviable: Utility

Added

Pokemon:
Sets: Utility Sand Rush, Bulky Swords Dance, Booster Energy: Speed, Utility

Updated

These changes all either added/removed moves, changed move order, added new natures, or added/removed items

Serperior and Mega Swampert were also not in alphabetical order, so they were moved to where they were supposed to be. Feel free to DM me or Iride if you see any more of these types of errors, or set errors like incorrect natures, EV spreads, or moves.

If you would like to access sets from Mons that have been removed, either in the past or with this update, or would like to see the specifics (in excruciating detail) of how a certain set was updated, feel free to DM me and I can either send you my Google Sheet with all the Set Compendium changes or provide old sets/changes.

 

[Danbear02]

After quite a bit of time, the Set Compendium has been updated to reflect the new metagame. All notable changes are reflected in the VR shifts; any mons that were unranked were removed, with any mons added to the VR proper have been added here.

A huge, huge, HUGE shoutout to Dabman1069 and Interlinked for doing the work of this VR, going through and adding/updating sets as needed to reflect the many metagame shifts since the last update. Please thank them in the NDUU Cord for their hard work!!
