    Serious What do you want to do with your life?

    I'm currently in uni to become a pharmacist, but I'm already half way through the course and I don't feel like it's the career for me. Honestly, I have no idea what I REALLY want to do. The closest thing to a hobby that I currently have is competitive Pokémon, but I'm not sure if that's really...

    Enter the Dragon Type - HA Amaura as Entry Prize [END]

    I can't wait to spam Mega Diancie's Moonblast. I absolutely love Mega Diancie, and this tournament looks like the perfect environment to use her. Does anyone know a good potential moveset for this meta or should I just ape the doubles set?

    General What brought you to Smogon?

    When I bought XY, it was the first time that a lot of my friends had the game as well, and they always beat me in battles. Determined to prove myself, I looked up good movesets on various websites until I found Smogon and never looked back. The forums are great, the environment here is far...

    General Introduce yourself!

    Hi Smogon, this is s0nido here. I've actually been here for just over a year, but have been fairly quiet during that time (as evidenced by my post count). I came to Smogon after a friend of mine got me into competitive Pokemon, a field of Pokemon which I never thought to delve into until he...

    UU Simple Questions Thread

    The go-to set is the SubCoil set, which looks something like this: Zygarde @ Leftovers Ability: Aura Break EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 SpD Careful Nature - Substitute - Coil - Dragon Tail - Earthquake There is maximum investment in SpD because Coil boosts Zygarde's Defense anyway. EVs can be shifted...

    np: UU Stage 1 - Changes

    That's not to mention the bulky waters which can take its special and/or phsyical hits and retaliate with a super-effective Scald.

    np: UU Stage 1 - Changes

    I don't think people realise how piss-poor M-Diancie's 50 HP really is. It does have very good 110/110 defences, but its HP really lets it down and doesn't even let it take resisted hits that well. That's not to mention the plethora of Steel-type moves running around the place. It's...

    Smogon Usage-Based Tier Update: December 2014

    say that to 50/85/85/55/55/50 BST and a piss-poor movepool. it just won't survive in the upper tiers unless it finds a REALLY specific niche. regarding the tier shifts, though, we lost some nice Pokemon to OU from UU, but I'm still really glad that we have Altaria and Diancie. Let's just hope...

    UU Laddering Achievements V2

    They forfeited, but it was after I took out 3 of their Pokemon, so does that count? Where He At Doe? http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-180516942

    np: XY UU Stage 3 - Calling [Diggersby: BL, Next: Scolipede]

    Is this really a problem, though? Running Ice Beam means that bulky waters can hit Pokemon like Roserade and Mega Ampharos super-effectively, two Pokemon which threaten them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it'd be overcentralising to run Ice Beam if it means that these Pokemon have to...

    np: XY UU Stage 3 - Calling [Diggersby: BL, Next: Scolipede]

    If a Pokemon needs little to no support to function, and can basically be slapped onto teams to achieve victory with little skill required, that makes it broken. When people are arguing that Zygarde needs support in order to function at its best, they're arguing that it's not broken because of...

    np: XY UU Stage 3 - Calling [Diggersby: BL, Next: Scolipede]

    If we want to compare Zygarde to a broken mon, we should compare it to Salamence, who could routinely destroy teams after just one turn of setup. Zygarde can't do that as well as Salamence could, at least with its SubCoil set, which is why I can't see it as broken. I've yet to test the DD set...

    np: XY UU Stage 3 - Calling [Diggersby: BL, Next: Scolipede]

    I'm not very high up on the ladder, but I threw Zygarde on my team to see whether or not it could work for me and how well. I've been using the SubCoil set, and while its good, I don't think it's broken in the sense that you can just slap it on a team and make it work. While it's quite bulky...

    Other Aegislash Post-Ban Discussion Thread

    Not sure about Cresselia, though. I mean, it's a great mixed wall, but it has weaknesses to very spammable Ghost- and Dark-type moves, as well as having few resistances to balance that out. Furthermore, it doesn't have a way to reliably cure itself of status, which isn't great for a wall...

    Other Aegislash Post-Ban Discussion Thread

    What do people think about Mandibuzz's viability after the banning of Aegislash? I read in an article on The Smog that Mandibuzz shot up to OU primarily because she's the best counter to Aegislash there is. Would her viability in OU fall now that Aegislash is gone? I know that she still has...

    What Are Your Bad Habits?

    I trim my nails with my teeth instead of using clippers like a normal person. I haven't used clippers on my fingers in years...don't even remember the last time I used clippers on my nails. I've never bit my nails until they bled, though. I also spend an unhealthy amount of time...

    How Diverse is your Palate?

    I will try new food but I generally only stick to one or two kinds of cuisines. They're not really my "native" cuisines - just the usual stuff my parents cook for me or stuff I know how to cook. Yes, I get bored of the same old stuff, but eating out all the time is a pain, and you really need...

    Serious Relationships and Sex Ed Thread

    Just because the whole e-relationship thing didn't work out for you, it doesn't mean that it won't work out for other people. Cumquat might be in a different state of mind and in a different circumstance to what you might've been a few years ago. I know you must regret the way that you were a...
