BIG PAUL Obviously TPCI doesn't believe in saving the best for last, because scenic Seattle, Washington is the first stop on VGC's 2010 tour! Logistics: Important Information: Click here for the lowdown on prizes, rules, requirements, and more. Participants: Oh my! It looks like all the...

Overview There are four Pokemon on a VGC team. Two of them are leads. This figure alone should demonstrate to any player just how important leads are. The leads dictate how a match will proceed to a far greater extent in VGC than they do in singles due to the percentage of the team they make...

This idea is a bit ambitious, but it's something I think is at least worth taking into consideration. Description: Basically it would be a "calculator" or table which would determine the effectiveness (4x, 2x, etc.) of a set of attacks against the Pokemon of a given tier. On the top of the...

I nabbed this from Thund91 after it hadn't been updated in a while, so it was definitely a joint effort. I made the changes listed below and hopefully did a decent job of combing through it for errors and mentions of Roserade :P . I've been extremely busy with school as of late, so I've been a...

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/cradily [Overview] <p>Cradily has improved vastly with the additions of Platinum and HGSS, which imbued it with Seed Bomb and Curse, respectively. These moves have allowed it to find a niche in the lower tiers as a bulky sweeper, while remaining a formidable...

Status: Peer reviews and all that good stuff. :) Comments: Wondering if I should include calcs on Revenge Killer set and if the sets should be in a different order. [Overview] <p>Sneasel may often be overlooked due to its Not Fully Evolved label, yet it fares quite well in the lower tiers due...

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/hippopotas [Overview] <p>Surprisingly, summoning a permanent sandstorm is not the only thing of value Hippopotas can accomplish. It also has the convenient ability to set up Stealth Rock, and can do a decent job scouting from the lead slot, as well. However...

Status: Updated with truncated paragraphs. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/octillery Changes from old analysis: Dropped Choice Band to Other Options. Added Choice Scarf and Trick Room Sweeper sets. Added Water Spout. Updated all sections to current metagame. Added Team Options. Combined...

Status - Complete. Ready for upload? A couple months ago I was running sandstall pretty successfully on the UU ladder. When HGSS rolled around, I saw Cradily got Curse and decided to replace my Curse Regirock, and instead to center my team around sweeping with Cradily. The team was very...

Status: Edits, please! This is a set I've been playing with for a while now, and have had enormous success with it. It's really an awesome set, so try it out if you don't believe me. I'm still new to the analysis writing business, so give me some advice on how I can improve. Thanks! [SET]...

Status: Did more testing and updated with a bunch of changes. Still looking for lots of edits! I played with Hippopotas extensively through September and October. I tested several different sets, and found the set below to be the most effective one, and really the only one worth using, hence...

Diesel's Adventure Prelude: From the moment I saw that Nintendo's Video Game Championships were coming to Seattle, the National Tournament in St. Louis has had a stranglehold on my mind, always finding it's way into my thoughts during class, homework, and sleep. The prospect of a free...

A couple weeks ago I randomly decided to make a UU team. I don't battle very much because I was a little bored with the OU metagame, and was only a slightly above average battler to begin with. I figured a new metagame might spice things up a bit for me. I was instantly enamored with the UU...

Chaining Research Project Greetings, Smogon. My Chaining Guide has now been up for almost 5 months, and thus far seems to have been successful. Now, however, I feel it is time to examine some of the methods in the guide, specifically what I define as an "optimal" and "bad" patch formations...
