You can go ahead and call mine done; I don't see myself going back to singles. Thanks for all the hard work on the update to the front page!

Hi, can someone explain why Rhyperior is suddenly getting a ton of respect? I've seen people talk about it a bit in the metagame and viability ranking threads, and they call out its high power wallbreaking sets and ability to set Stealth Rock while still threatening. But... hasn't it always had...

Hey all, coming in to report a no-dynamax streak that hit 112 on Battle Tower. I'm starting a self-challenge where I try to make teams that are all one color and I started with Purple to use Starmie. I could just do restricted sparring if I'm playing with team member limits anyways, but I like...

Quickly chiming in to say that my last streak ended at 267 I'm sad the streak ended so soon after reporting on the team, but sometimes luck just really isn't on your side. I maybe should have targeted Pangoro down instead of Drapion, but the Crit spooked me I guess. I've also learned to stop...

Don't mean to break up the Restricted Battles party, but I wanted to report a no-Dynamax Battle Tower streak that's hit 250 and counting. The team consists of Liepard, Gyarados, Incineroar, and Manectric. I don't know how much farther it can feasibly go, since I've gotten lucky a few times and...

Cool team! I really like the look of it as-is. However, if you're actively looking to replace Torkoal, maybe something like Primarina? Its Hyper Voice won't be quite as strong as a Sun-boosted Eruption, but it's still monstrous and also helps beat some things that the real star of the show...

Have you thought about including some pokemon that don't overtly benefit from sun? A lot of doubles teams(I assume this is a doubles team, since you mention four pokemon) only use one or two pokemon that really abuse the weather they set; think Excadrill/TTar cores, with the other mons...

Thanks for the great writeup, Eisenherz. I 100% agree with solution 1a (no Uber pokemon); there's not much to be said that you didn't already say eloquently. As for 1b (no dynamax), I'm a little torn. On one hand, I think it would be a shame to eliminate the generation's core mechanic from BT...

Hey, meant to say congrats on the great streak! That's a great run, especially for non dynamax. Just out of curiosity, how were you thinking of changing Incineroar?

Sorry for the double post, but I doubt anyone will mind seeing as it's been over two weeks at this point. I'm here to post a doubles team that reached 286 wins in a row before losing. I went in with the intention of making the worst hail team to reach 50 wins, but it never really got around to...

Hi! I got a team that hit 50 wins in singles, so I thought I'd post it. I wanted to use a special attacking core, and settled on Gengar and Hydreigon since they can switch into eachother's weaknesses pretty well. Primarina was mostly for fun, but she handles some pokemon that both of her...

Thanks (also to Dark_Scorpion). Probably should have thought of Chansey, but I tunneled on the Fire/Water types. I'll also try the bulky Mence set, and I'll post an update once I get to try the team.

Okay, I need some advice. I've had three near leaderboard Super Singles runs (all ending from 81-87) using Salamence and Steelix, along with three different final members. I'm looking for a third member that ties the team together, since I've felt like whoever I try has been mostly dead weight...

Congrats on the massive winning streak, SilverLining! As someone trying to find a good mixed wall, I was wondering if you could explainwhy you run Confide on P2 over something like T-Bolt or Protect? I've thought about using P2 myself.

Sure, If HJK hits every time then it's amazing. However, in reality eventually you'll miss and there's a good chance it'll cost you a run. Battle Tree differs a lot from traditional battles in that consistency is much more important. In a laddering format, some risk is acceptable because extra...

Well aware of the perfect neutral coverage, but good point about Low Kick. It's also worth noting that Low Kick is only 60 BP against Porygon2, which means Lopunny has some issues breaking through it. Here's calcs for that: 252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Low Kick (60 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Eviolite...

I think part of the problem with Lopunny is the lack of powerful fighting moves outside of HJK, which is obviously unreliable. Most popular Battle Tree mons have 100% accurate STABs, and unless Lopunny wants to use the unreliable BP Low Kick, you're risking a crucial miss (that doubly punishes...

Dang, just had a really singles good run end at 86 because of a stupid mistake. 86 was my best by far so far, so it's annoying to lose because of my own error, and so close to 90 too. Here's my team for reference: Salamence@Salamenceite Intimidate EVs: 252 Att/4 SpD/252 Spe Adamant Nature...

Typhlosion/Quilava isn't actually stuck with Flame Wheel for that long. Assuming you get it early and build friendship, which happens naturally, it learns Flame Pledge (80 BP) from the tutor for free. You can get it as soon as you unlock Charizard to fly back to the starting island.

Going to jump on the Leafeon train. I know that Leafeon's movepool is garbage, but it honestly gets what it needs to contribute. You can evolve it almost as soon as you get it, and doing so gives you a 525 base stat monster pretty early in the game. Razor Leaf is good STAB early on, and it...
