  1. Project Rarelyused v2

    Thanks for the credz, Pocket! I should mention that I've found that I much prefer Giga Drain over Leaf Storm for the Trick Room-Eggy. Mostly because it often ends up staying in for several turns, and the SpA-drops are really annoying. The added survivability from Giga Drain is also lovely, and...

    Showdown ladder keeps being down. :(

    DittoCrow nudged me in this direction for this set: Solosis @ Focus Sash Ability: Magic Guard LvL: 1 EVs: IVs: Nature: - Trick Room - Endeavor - Pain Split/Toxic/Taunt/Confuse Ray - Pain Split/Toxic/Taunt/Confuse Ray Trick Room Setter. Lategame sash with...

  6. Where the Magic Happens (Trick Room hyper offense)

    Jellicent! Your article on RU Trick Room was an inspiration! Eggy is a surprisingly durable 'mon, and Harvest+Sitrus Berry gives A LOT more HP recovery than lefties. On my team it has shares a pivot role with Slowking, and the extra survivability is brilliant. Having Sleep Powder and Trick Room...

  7. RU Teambuilding - Mark II

    Slowking is THE Trick Room Setter of RU. Interesting idea to skip the water-STAB, as water isn't a particularily great offensive type in the current metagame (at least for Trick Room play), I might try that. Fire Blast is the most crucial move on it, though, as it OHKOs plenty of "Slowking...

  8. Where the Magic Happens (Trick Room hyper offense)

    I like the idea of maybe foregoing TR-setter nr. 4 for Stealth Rocks. But then there's probably better options than Mesprit (Dark and Bug weaknesses are pretty numerous on this team). Golurk is an option? But dropping a fourth Trick Room-user really makes me have only 2 in practice (since...

  9. RU Research Week #10 - Regirock, Gabite, Seismitoad, Bouffalant

    I've been using Bouffalant on my alt bab00n, but there's probably been some games before I started using him. I'll probably share some of my experiences with him, but I won't be doing a challenge, methinks.

  10. Project Rarelyused v2

    Really love that Scyther set, can really see it working well with Moltres/Kabutops/Natu, as you say. Think you just inspired me to try something besides Trick Rooming everywhere. :)

  11. Where the Magic Happens (Trick Room hyper offense)

    Maybe this Defensive Klinklang could work as a reliable Setter/Pivot? Resistance to Dark is lovely, and it has worked on other teams. Not sure if its lack of offensive pressure works in tandem with the rest of the team, but it's a cool set that I'd like to post here anyway. :P Klinklang @...

  12. Where the Magic Happens (Trick Room hyper offense)

    Thanks for the feedback! Lampent is off again, it seems, but I'm not sure whether Mesprit really is the 'mon I want, but it's probably the best choice at the moment. When it comes to escavalier, I rarely find myself wanting to lock myself into Return. :S I'd rather just use Iron Head or...

  13. RU Lead Metagame

    That Crustle is the lead-'mon I like the least to face. Or, at least seeing a Crustle in the team-preview makes me want to switch around leads, which again is annoying when carrying a suicide lead. Anti-smeargle-leads in general is perfect for this metagame.

  14. Where the Magic Happens (Trick Room hyper offense)

    A bit of history first: After taking the step from playing pokémon on game boys and DS's since the late nineties into online competitive emulator play, I've been totally enamoured with Trick Room offense. Enamoured to the point of playing the playstyle almost exclusively. After Pokémon Showdown...

  15. RU Lead Metagame

    Seeing that I play Trick Room almost exclusively, I have a couple of dedicated TR-leads. Molk's Smeargle: Smeargle (F) @ Focus Sash Trait: Own Tempo EVs: Hardy Nature - Trick Room - Endeavor - Dragon Rage - Spore Lvl 1, of course. First turn TR, then, if the opponent hit you...

  16. Dark-types: Shedding some light on the matter.

    Zweilous is fantastic on a Trick Room team as well (which we all knew, since its stats practically scream "Trick Room"). Best of all with a Choice Band IMO. The power it gets out of its Outrage and Crunch with a Choice Band equipped borders on the ludicrous. One thing I've toyed with on teams...
