Ok so the last time I wrote an analysis was before QC was a thing, so if I'm not allowed to post this yet or something please let me know. So basically I've been tearing my hair out at the Goth+MegaSab stall meta. Gliscor has always been an effective stallbreaker but its currents sets do not...

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/slowbro Update for an outdated analysis. I've tried to make things concise where I can, updated format, changed all the "it" and "its" to "him" and "his", added a lot of cool new options such as Passho Plot Doom making an awesome teammate for CM Slowbro, and...

I've enjoyed really good success with this team - it peaked at #2 on the leaderboard when I initially started using it and has kept me comfortably in upper reqs since then. But after a long time of using it without basically any changes at all, I've gotten quite bored of it. The Pokemon on the...

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/exeggutor I've been using Exeggutor a lot in UU and it's a brilliant Pokemon. It's current analysis compares its OU effectiveness with Celebi for most of the sets, so I thought it was about time it got an overhaul. [SET] name: Bulky Offensive move1: Sleep...

Hey, This is the most recent version of the team that featured in my Mushroom Warfare warstory a little while ago. I remember I used to enjoy playing with it a lot, so I'd like to put it up for rate to see if I can get some tips with it. I'm extremely rusty, haven't played in quite a while but...

It's been a while since I've written a warstory so I decided why not? This isn't a tournament battle or anything interesting from the suspect ladder, it's just a plain old standard OU match against Kaito1412 which I greatly enjoyed. Here's hoping you do too. EDIT: Think of it as a 1.5k post...

In progress. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/zapdos I don't know if it's just me, but I'm finding this incredibly hard work. Taking someone else's analysis, reading it over, chopping, changing, and rewriting it, and then finally ensuring that the end product flows well and doesn't sound...

Basically we are looking for a good sized map of the Sinnoh region, something along the lines of this, on which the locations of competitive items and TMs are labelled. This will need to be made ourselves, we can't use it from another source, and we're looking for some budding artists to...

Itt I'm just going to go over some guidelines for giving good rates, some basics that when stuck to won't let you go wrong. Resources Bits and pieces that are good to have on hand when rating. I know I'm a visual learner and find it difficult to rate teams that are text only, but I think I'm...

I'd like to replace the current "Lead" set in the analysis with this, since it is very effective outside the lead position as well. I spoke with twash and we think this is a better variant on the "Substitute Staller" on site as well, since the only real use for Sub is to prevent Gliscor from...

Curse of the Tyranitar This is a team that I've greatly enjoyed building and using, getting two alts quite high onto the leaderboard, but I think it could still use a bit of work. The basic premise is to set up for Curse Tyranitar in the late game, removing the few things that can beat it...

After a week of the second phase of the UU suspect testing, the metagame is beginning to settle down. The first thing one notices when they start playing UU is the vast number of options available. Some are more common than others, but I've found that every other battle I'm surprised with...
