yo, it seems i have finally awoken from the dead. After a bunch of irl situations imploding on me, i've been sporadically improving my competative skills in pokemon and finally reached a stable point in which i think I can return to being an active member. I'm currently prepping/training for...

I was a bit scrubby with my wording and I don't mean to berate or belittle the people who are on the top since they -are- on the top for the reason. For that I apologize. However I think Ajwf explained my point much better. I feel that if I ever got into simulation battling I'd never want to...

pretty much what I was going to say. You'd probably be better off with Dusknoir or Bronzong for trick room hnnn...there's a list on serebii for pokemon that can learn trick room and I wish I could remember which trick roomer was the best xD. I just remember dusknoir in gen 4 as the most...

ouch. Scientist searching the antarctic will never find anything colder. You don't learn a damn thing about strat if you're always (key word) running generic teams. The more varied you are, the more you learn about certain playstyles role and how they're affected by hyper offense, the better...

I like umbreon's@leftovers curse/pass set for trick room teams and you could probably make that work way more efficiantly than leafeon or espeon. You shouldn't need to impliment sandstorm as a move since your hippo has sandstream and if anything you could even get a ttar with sandstream (tho...

Personally I think it's best that we should take variety into consideration when making teams. The more variety we used, the less cookie cutter and centralized the meta game gets. Remember kiddies, the key to a healthy meta-game is variety and challenge :D! (also gourgeist is cool ok and it's...

Considering there's talk about banning it, making new teams to use it is useless when they'll have to replace it a couple weeks time with how many people who are up in arms about it being quickbanned. Anyways, I'd keep your rocky helmet Ferro for now to take care of mega kanga (somewhat) and...

if you run assault vest leafeon, you'll never be able to baton pass, effectivley limiting it as a sweeper which it's NOT capable of doing thanks to its low speed. Anyways, as for what you said about changing the spread on your adamant, I thought about doing that for my own aggron, since I really...

yo am I actually trying to post on smogon -whoa mang-

More people need to use aggronite man. Mega Aggron IS BEAST. Rocky head/lifeorb combo is a very dangerous set as since aggrons typing is its most crippling weakness that its BST DOESN'T help. Anywho, you might want to consider t-wave to cripple unexpected switch ins to replace Iron Defense (it...

surprisingly enough, D-Bond has probably become one of the most used sets on gengar thanks to gengarite. Even with the ban, people are still running suicidal sets on Gengar. However I would have to still agree with Holden. Gengar is ultimatley very fast but fragile as hell. Hypnosis can be fun...

so I bred things. Should work on Trade thread.

I watched a little bit of the discussion in Chat where I mentioned having sticky web set up before Mega Kanga can activate? I mean...I suppose there's still a problem of killing the actual bastard but you mentioned that the issue is that it 2hko's everything. So long as the check outspeeds mega...

Concept When Berries were revamped in Generation 3, I had always been fascinated with their uses and as I became fully aware of the metagame, I was equally excited when I found that Berries had their small niche to them. So in this article, I'd like to talk about berry strategies and why they...

Ah, I see. You brought up my entire issue as a whole and hit the nail on the coffin xD. I'm still going to write about my berries, but I definitely see your point and will probably not be able to use Kee or Maranga examples at all (a shame as I liked some of the concepts...it'd have been nice if...

Hi there, I was hoping to write an article about berries in the metagame and in the outline I was hoping to include examples of effective berry strategy as well as two examples that particularly utilize the new Kee and Maranga berries. I'm a little stuck here because I'm not sure if the pokemon...

Thank you so much for the link! Found a good topic to write about and can't wait to submit the outline for review :'>

Thank you very much! :D can't wait to submit my app for the smog!

As someone very new to the community forums, I was hoping to contribute by trying to write an article for the smog and maybe do some art here or there if possible. I'm working on both applications and outline now but I was wondering if there were certain articles that have relentlessly found...
