Forgive me for throwing in some replays at the end that didn’t make my argument the best and using your replays for a pro-ban perspective when I should have been more careful. I think the argument for banning speed pass should be divorced from how banning it impacts the metagame and tackled...

...optimized mag Ninjask (sand attack is garbage but Ninjask is pretty free to run it) passes that could use just about anything, to zap pass, to … *falls asleep* The tldr is that I think speed pass should be banned, full stop. I think the collateral damage of losing some cool nondegenerate...

I thought I'd resurrect Linear's original purpose of the thread by doing a team dump and showing some sets/spreads that I particularly like. I've always wanted to do a 100 team dump, partially bc i never really liked the teams i released previously and bc i love building new teams -- I've been...

I wanted to push back a little here bc of how rote you describe reaching the top echelons of the ladder is. I may not be in the upper crust any more, but I’ve been laddering adv for a long time. I’ve enjoyed reading your posts on how you reached 1900+. But there are a lot of ways to do it. I’ve...

I wanted to say roro’s use of yoloskarm (he didn’t reveal Hp ground/taunt but he was heavily attack invested and so I’m calling it a yoloskarm) on his spl tiebreak team was genius and might see a resurgence on the set. Here was the game: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen3ou-833278...

Double dpp tiebreak let’s go! Two great mus between bihi and bkc and then the third christos vs void pairing. Should be great! Bkc vs groudon: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen4ou-826872 Bkc: :Zapdos: :starmie: :Roserade: :Flygon: :Metagross: :Hippowdon: Groudon: :swampert...

There were some great teams used the last two weeks, particularly wtk’s w8 team is something I thought was very cool. However, I thought something cool to do would be to breakdown of both semifinal mus and think based on the regular season how I would prepare for the game. All four players are...

https://pokepast.es/0a199c02c8aa53f3 :uxie: :Scizor: :heatran: :Togekiss: :Latias: :suicune: I saw the team above and decided to adapt my preferences for nasty plot Togekiss for this challenge. I unironically think hyper beam is the better move on offensive np Togekiss over air slash. Why? On...

Hi I wanted to do a review of the teams we saw this week. I’ll try do this if I get time every week. Full disclaimer that I mean no harm, just find teambuilding in Dpp to be very enjoyable and it’s really hard to get right. I also am only going off replays so there could be a tech in here that...

Team 10 — this is actually hilarious, I saw this last night and was messing around with trying to do it on the ladder and also came up with slaking. I did some edits to a team void brought last year in spl and made my own spreads. I unfortunately found my team absolutely could not kill skarm...

Honestly this was fucking MISERABLE (I am so sorry to everyone laddering I definitely tilted hard lol) and I like laddering. I got to 84.9 3 separate times and then lost. It also took me a long time to find the time to actually play 130 or so games of sweaty ass stall or balance (this was my...

Hi all, I am stepping down in my role to moderate the ladder achievements and in my role as a forum moderator. I just updated the list for the above. Thank you all for the wonderful experience over the last year and a halfish! Hiro' and Jirachee and the rest of the adv roa staff will be taking...

this is ready for QC! And with that, all OU mons have been updated at least preliminarily. Thank you for being on this journey with me!
