Welcome to the very first edition of GSC Slam League! An auction-style lower tier-only GSC team tournament featuring not one, but two slots for each tier! This tournament will feature Ubers, UU, NU, PU, and ZU. Any player can participate in the first slot for each tier. However, the second slot...

Welcome to GSC NU! History of the tier runs all the way back to 2015, but the modern state of the tier began in mid 2019, highlighted by the bans of Raichu, Poliwrath, and Golduck and the rise of Xatu. The metagame continues to see significant development and play, and these resources can maybe...

[OVERVIEW] Gloom holds a unique place with its valuable typing, being one of only two Pokemon that can handle all of Hidden Power Electric Octillery, Primeape, and Chinchou. Gloom also has an extensive movepool consisting of boosting moves like Swords Dance and Curse, status moves like Stun...

Now that my team is out of UUBD, I want to reignite discussion about GSC UU baton pass as a whole. I believe the move to be incredibly problematic in the current tier. Full pass teams stacking Barrier Mime and Amnesia Girafarig passing to one of Growth Politoed, Curse Aerodactyl, Curse Granbull...

Trap Pass from Ariados is generally considered a wholly negative part of the tier and arguably too strong. It hasn't showed up much, but when it has it generally completely warped a game in favor of the Ariados user. The main issue with Ariados is that it's impossible to OHKO let alone easy to...

[SET] name: RestTalk move 1: Fire Blast move 2: Double-Edge move 3: Rest move 4: Sleep Talk item: Leftovers [SET COMMENTS] Rapidash's unique blend of Speed, bulk, typing, and mixed breaking power make it highly valued on aggressive Xatu Spikes teams as an integral defensive piece that still...

[OVERVIEW] Kingler is an incredibly dangerous setup threat, being by far the best Pokemon that learns Swords Dance in the tier. Kingler uses its good physical bulk, solid Speed that lets it outrun the likes of Dewgong and Weezing, and strong Water typing to set up and become able to 2HKO or...

GSC lower tiers are mostly settled down currently when it comes to team tours, with the exception of UU obviously, and UPL signups are arriving soon, so I figured it was about time to post this. GSC Slam has begun, and it’s revived a thought in my mind, one that’s I’ve been having for a long...

[SET] name: Dual Screens move 1: Thunder Wave move 2: Reflect move 3: Light Screen move 4: Fire Blast / Surf item: Leftovers [SET COMMENTS] Dragonair stands out as the best dedicated dual screens setter in the tier, starting off the game by paralyzing opposing Pokemon with Thunder Wave and...

In the generation 2 teambuilder, if you have hidden power on a pokemon, and you removed it for a non-hidden power move, it doesn't automatically reset the DVs on the pokemon to max like it does for future generations, often resulting in the player missing the reduced dvs and playing at an...

[SET] name: RestTalk move 1: Curse move 2: Return move 3: Rest move 4: Sleep Talk item: Leftovers [SET COMMENTS] Dunsparce's good stats make it an individually solid Pokemon, but despite this, it is almost never worth using. Dunsparce serves the same role as Wigglytuff, yet it is wholly...

[SET] name: Reflect move 1: Double-Edge move 2: Reflect move 3: Rest move 4: Sleep Talk item: Leftovers [SET COMMENTS] Although it's generally worse than Fearow, Pidgeot has the unique niche of being one of the best long-term answers to RestTalk Stantler and Dugtrio, giving it a strong place...

(approved by etern) Hello and welcome to a developmental and for-fun testing tournament, GSC NU + Vileplume! GSC NU has been a very stable tier these past few years, however ever since last year (as seen with this thread) there has been interest in testing out Vileplume, as it is currently an...

[OVERVIEW] Houndour has one purpose—to trap and eliminate Xatu with Pursuit. Since it is immune to Xatu's nearly unresisted STAB Psychic, takes little from Hidden Power Ice or Electric, and has a solid Special Attack, Houndour can consistently clear the way for teammates that are...

[SET] name: Growth Pass Recipient move 1: Ice Beam move 2: Surf move 3: Hidden Power Grass move 4: Protect item: Leftovers [SET COMMENTS] Set Description ========= Dewgong is one of the scariest Growth recipients in the tier, since it is extremely bulky and fast enough to outspeed threats to...

[OVERVIEW] Boasting the highest Special Attack stat in the tier, a fantastic typing of pure Water, STAB-boosted Surf that hits several common Pokemon such as Dugtrio, Ninetales, Graveler, and Rapidash for super effective damage while 3HKOing most neutral targets; RestTalk for longevity; and the...
