One notable feature of ObiStall, and most stall teams that followed, was that it had many roles it needed to fill: Spikes, SR, Tspikes, Rapid Spin, spin blocker, Heal Bell, Wish, sandstorm, pHazing, etc, not to mention walling the offensive Pokemon of the time. The problem of satisfying all...

Introduction: This is a team made for the post-Kangaskhanite XY OU metagame, and with Pokemon Bank coming soon, this RMT is a final farewell to a pure, beautiful metagame. The team has served me well on the ladder, with a record of 72-8 in the current, stable form. The fundamental concept is to...

Hi all, I'm getting pretty bored with this team I made (current rank: 6, 1345), so I'll post it to give all my valuable insight to all of you. Yet another of my genius stall teams! Chansey @ Eviolite Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def Nature: Calm - Seismic Toss - Aromatherapy -...

Long Boring Introduction and History If you're not interested in this part, skip to the section "The Team." The focus this generation seems to be on a very offensive style of play, with teams focused around weather sweepers and threats from the past such as Latios, Darkrai, and Deoxys...

A Beginner’s Guide to Prediction Someone said to me that they felt like prediction is something impossible to learn. While I am certainly no fortune-teller of Pokemon, I can offer a few heuristics I use in my own battles to outpredict my opponent. These are probably more-or-less obvious, at...

Most of the posts on the non-Pokemon forums of Smogon are filled with inappropriate language and unfunny inside jokes, e.g. Metang @. That is OK sometimes, but I feel it should be counterbalanced with something positive to help us all improve our personal well-being. Today I feel inspired. I'd...

Tiring of stall gameplay, and looking forward to the suspectless metagame, I devised a new offensive team. It started when someone mentioned how much potential he felt Taunt/Mean Look/Wish/BP Umbreon had. I made a team with strong BP elements to try to capitalize on it, and instead came away...

I've been playing this team a little bit on Shoddy, and it works OK. I'd like to share my experiences with you guys and maybe get some good ideas for changes. I don't plan on using this to ladder, because of certain threats who I will talk about later, and because of the long stall nature of the...

This was the first team I tried out in Shoddy Battle UU, and due to some success I'm continuing to use it, and refine it. The optimal plan is to pass two Agilities to Cradily, so that he becomes reasonably fast. Then--after passing Barrier or a Sub, if necessary--Cradily sets up Swords Dance...
