    Metagame Metagame Discussion Thread

    Cresselia @ Light Clay Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 220 SpD Nature: Calm - Lunar Dance - Reflect - Light Screen - Moonlight One set I'd like to draw attention to is dual screens Cresselia. Right now, the only reliable switch-ins to Tapu Lele are Poke's like Celesteela, Metagross...

    Metagame Metagame Discussion Thread

    Just got into playing Sun/Moon and have played a lot with the new offensive sweepers. Out of all of them, Porygon-Z has been my go to. I've found Ghost-type Z-conversion sweeps incredibly easy to pull off, especially with dual screen / lunar dance support from the likes of Cress. The +1 Def...

    Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    I'm going to jump in the Weavile discussion here as well. I think there's something to be said for Weavile's 125 speed tier and best attacking type (Dark) in the game. Its ability to outspeed and KO or severely dent the majority of the OU metagame is absurd. It has access to a lightning...

    Resource ORAS OU Viability Ranking Thread V4

    As much as I'd love to see Mega Pinsir rise, I think the sheer amount of faster / priority pokemon we see used in OU that can survive a +2 Quick Attack or limit its sweeping potential (Klefki (T-wave), Jirachi, Raikou, Mega Manetric, Bisharp (Jolly Life Orb Sucker Punch does 52-62%), Mega...

    ORAS OU Stall of the Sadist [1568 ELO]

    I plan on trying out these changes first. Thanks to both you and yuruuu. I realize now that my Clefable didn't have enough SpD bulk to take on Life Orb Thundurus and Serperior. Thunderbolt on Ampharos I agree too since it'll have to be my answer to Rain Dance Manaphy, since Clefable lacks the...

    ORAS OU Stall of the Sadist [1568 ELO]

    Introduction Hello Smogon! Long time battler here, posting my first RMT. Decided to post this team now because I have been climbing faster than I ever have before and am excited for how high this team can go. What I have here is a stall team that basically exploits all of the residual...

    Resource ORAS OU Metagame Discussion

    As a stall player myself, I have found that the recent introduction of Hoopa-U, Mega Diancie, and Contrary Serperior has added just enough grounded threats to the metagame, where a toxic spike stall strategy becomes pretty effective. And the lack of grounded poison types in OU to absorb them...

    Resource OU Teambuilding Workshop v3 (OPEN)

    I'd recommend a defensive pivot for these two pokemon. As two offensive pieces of your team, you won't want them getting hit too much. Manaphy and Gross are both pretty weak to electric / ground / dark / ghost coverage, so I'd recommend something like a defensive Chesnaught build with...

    Other Stall

    I think the best thing you can do when playing against Gothitelle as a stall team is to make hazards the number one priority. You have to punish her every time she tries to come in and trap something. Mega-Sableye comes up huge here, not being afraid of her at all and contributing to the...

    Resource ORAS Good Cores (Check Post #714)

    The offensive synergy seems viable. If this core is used, the only recommendation I have is that you have something that can defend against Belly Drum Azumarill. If it happens to get a setup against this core, it looks like you'll get swept. Jolly Lucario E-speed does 33.5 - 39.5% and most...
