    Data Visualising metagame trends (v2)

    Approved by celticpride Traditionally, usage data has been analysed in month-by-month slices, as and when new statistics are published. This is great for looking at short term changes, for example the impact of a particular centralising Pokemon being banned from a tier. What about longer term...

    Programming Visualizations of "usage" stats

    You may have seen the recent thread where I showed pokestat.org.uk. Behind this is a larger intent to put statistical analysis in the hands of the average player (rather than just programmers) by means of providing visualizations. The usage graph demonstrated is a simple example of the power of...

    Data Visualising metagame trends

    Previously, usage data has been analysed on a month-by-month basis, as and when new statistics become available. This is great for looking at short term changes, for example the impact of a particular centralising Pokemon being banned from a tier. But what about longer term trends? You need a...

    Music Production

    I've been trying this out with a version of Reason 4, and it's a lot harder than I'd initially anticipated. Trying to create reasonable sounding sounds along with fitting them all technically into the track is pretty damn difficult, and then once that's done you have to write the damn thing...

    TR Forum

    I'd be interested to know why the forum is now laid out in such a manner - surely people aren't that lazy?

    DPP Forretress (Minor Changes)

    http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/forretress Not really a Platinum Update, but I felt that the analysis was a bit out-dated and a little under-written, so I did these: • Removed Garchomp reference • I am voting to remove the Light Screen set, no-one uses it (Doug’s Stats show this) and...

    (UU) - Team that is "not quite there"

    OK, so why am I here? This has been, so far, my favourite (and most succesful) UU team. I'm afraid I cannot brag of ladder ratings as laddering for long periods of time bores me a little! I generally stick to ~10 - 20 battles per day, so the results I get aren't as consistant as they could...

    DPP Tentacruel

    Re-Write of the Choice Specs set. There's no doubt that it was in need of it. I was sceptical of the set at first, but the surprise element and the respectable Speed convinced me in the end that it was an analysis worthy set: http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/tentacruel [SET] name: Choice...

    Learning the Metagame (Uber RMT)

    OK, so hello again Smogon. Today I delved headfirst into the Uber metagame, in order to learn it will enough to start rating Uber RMTs, anyway I built this team and spent the morning testing it, so now I am going to proudly display it to you guys, so that you can show me what I am currently...

    Lickilicky (Full Revamp) +

    The analysis was in need of a large scale re-vamp, not really due to Platinum although Aqua Tail was a very useful addition so it's over here, I have provided a list of the main things that I have done with the analysis (provided the link to the old analysis anyway for reference): • Changed...

    Hey Everyone! Help me with this one!

    If Suicune isn't really doing it for you why not try running Life kOrb Suicune, it requires less set up to be effective and it also provides a more "offensive" feel to it that your team also provides. Your Cune at the moment really lacks some power after a Calm Mind but with 252 SpA EVs and a...

    Dusknoir (Choice Band) +

    This is a re-write of the Choice Band set. Trick needs to be an addition to this set, as it allows Dusknoir to deal with some of the things that come into wall this set. The advantages of TrickBand are highlighted in Set Comments so here it is (I also re-wrote most of the Set Comments, they were...

    Delibird (Full Revamp)+

    Not the largest job in the world, but there were a few things that needed working on. First of all the Analysis was based around a non-existant NU metagame, so I re-wrote the counters and other parts to make it more UU centric. It also gained Seed Bomb and Signal Beam which provide better...

    First Post, First RMT, 3-0. PLEASE HELP!

    First off Starting with Zapdos, I feel that HeatWave isnt needed too much as you have Heatran to revenge kill as well, Forretress will also stop Scizor dead up to an extent so the coverage there isnt too bad. If I was you I would be more worried about Swampert and so chucking HP Grass onto your...

    DP Regice

    Someone mentioned this in the N / C moveset thread, and I was surprised to see that it was not on the analysis. I asked permission and wrote it this evening. Its a relativly simple set so I didn't feel that it needed too much explaining. I was unsure about the EVs, I decided in the end that...

    Balanced Team, bent upon Offense

    Hi There. I think it's time I posted another RMT around here and (hopefully) show how it should be done (not Team building, just explaination wise ":P"). I've been testing this team for a while now, under the name of "my alt," It's had a few twists and changes, but I think I'm getting towards a...

    Manectric (Full Revamp) +

    This re-vamp came about because I felt it needed it. A lot of the descriptions were very lacking, I added quite a bit to the Other Options, EVs and Counters sections which I found very un-informative. I included some damage calculations on the Mixed set and I have added additional comments to...

    A First Attempt (UU RMT)

    Tomorrow I am making a bold step. A step into the world of UU, somewhere that I have never ventured before. I built this team mostly using LonelyNess' Metagame Analysis (Thankyou very much) that showed me the threats that will allow me to sweep and that need to be kept in mind, and secondly the...
