Approved by emma I think Spreadsheet HERE! Playable on Dragon Heaven HERE! Discord server HERE! With KEP v1.1's launch coming within a few hours after having some good ol' time in the tank, it's time for this thread to do so as well! The Kanto Expansion Pak (KEP) is a Gen 1 SoloMod that...

I am the Lorax. I speak for the clickers. And the clickers wish to click harder. Do you know how the types are highlighted on your move selection? I like to order my moves reeeeal precisely, and because of that, I get times where my moves look like in that picture. When your timer is beginning...

[OVERVIEW] Banned from RBY NU for its Amnesia-using antics, Golduck is in a strange place in RBY UU, with the frightful Tentacruel and Normal-type attackers like Persian constantly badgering its set-up attempts. Being faster than its similarly forgetful friend Poliwrath and lacking its Psychic...

This is a parallel thread for the one in Policy Review; view reasoning, etc there. Discuss RBY sleep's place in UU and any other queries here if you're unbadged or otherwise can't get Policy Review access!

:hypno:RBY UU Sleep Suspect Test:venusaur: In response to the survey results, the RBY UU Council has decided to suspect test sleep. For the past few months, roughly since around the time after RBYPL II, sleep as a status in RBY UU has increased in controversy. While vocal users such as Volk...

[OVERVIEW] It's a sad state of affairs for Jynx in Stadium OU. The nerfs to sleep and addition of Team Preview make its main niche—the one-two punch of a speedy Lovely Kiss followed by a Blizzard freeze—far rarer and much less impactful. Regardless, being the most reliable sleeper...

Taken over from Gen1UUFan's analysis here. [OVERVIEW] Sandslash is often overlooked in RBY OU, but it realizes a dangerous niche with its unique combination of typing, movepool, and Speed tier. After a Swords Dance, Sandslash can 2HKO every Pokemon in the tier, and it is just fast enough to...

Translation: Compression of Rats How about one of the coolest anime tracks in the franchise to go with it? With the RBY NU Cup coming soon, I want to share a team that I thoroughly enjoyed using during NU Snake Draft II. I most certainly wasn't the best competitor there, but a bunch of people...

I was playing some games with some Japanese users yesterday afternoon and forgot to level some L100 Pokemon down to L50 manually. Normally, I never use the QoL stuff in this department - I do it myself because I'm a pretentious bastard. But in my stupidity and going into a battle against a...

I think this one is a bit scuffed but it's better than never happening. Also, stan RG Jolteon. [OVERVIEW] Jolteon stands out as one of the few Pokemon able to definitively stop Zapdos's rampage upon Kanto, resisting its STAB moves while having the capacity to beat it in a flat one-on-one...

[OVERVIEW] Raichu distinguishes itself from Jolteon and Zapdos for its access to Surf, making it the only Electric-type capable of OHKOing Rhydon. This makes Raichu deceptively threatening against teams featuring Water-types alongside Rhydon, as their typical way to contest Electric-types falls...

[OVERVIEW] Tauros stampedes into Tradebacks OU with some nifty new tricks, gaining new moves like Headbutt and Surf to lay devastation upon Kanto. It's still your usual rampaging bull, though, acting as the tier's central revenge killer and late-game cleaner. In a game with limited recovery...

[OVERVIEW] Alakazam received some serious upgrades in Tradebacks OU, possessing the elemental punches to give it coverage outside of Seismic Toss. However, its usual roles remain: Alakazam is a strong lead, revenge killer, and paralysis support guru, all thanks to its formidable Speed allowing...

Approved by phoopes I think So this is a tier that's been theorised about among newer players. However, it has remained mostly dormant for many years due to modern simulators' inabilities to simulate many aspects that would define the metagame, most notably pre-status. Thus, this thread would...

Share ur memories of when this took over the world

[OVERVIEW] Golem's Rock / Ground typing makes it a strong attacker that crucially hard counters Zapdos and Jolteon while resisting Normal-type attacks. Its QuakeSlide coverage is completely unresisted and able to 2HKO Pokemon like Rhydon, Zapdos, and Alakazam. This makes Golem excellent at...

Lapras :3 [OVERVIEW] Lapras's STAB Blizzard and tremendous bulk give it positive matchups against many of the physical attackers of Ubers, namely Swords Dance Mew, Tauros, and Snorlax. Its Speed is also just right, outrunning Chansey and Exeggutor while potentially threatening Sing, which...

Approved by emma like a week ago or something >>Spreadsheet here!<< >>Mod is LIVE here!<< >>Challonge Bracket here!<< Fresh off the press, the Kanto Expansion Pak Mod has finally been released on Dragon Heaven. After some initial balancing and beta testing, it seems just about ready for...

:porygon: Porygon - Ice Beam - Thunderbolt - Thunder Wave - Recover This digital duck is no meme! A more recent revelation since Normal-types were discovered to block Body Slam paralysis, Porygon is one of very few Pokemon capable of reliably walling tier titan Snorlax. With 32 PP on Recover...

Seems like no thread has been made for this before. This is mostly handled by making the moves "useless" but I realised that a crusade I may be going on soon would result in an even more confusing builder as-is for RBY specifically. Ok, so. Ignore cringe team pls i had to cherrypick a mon to...
