Hello. Here's hoping our second edition of PokeRap Battles gets the thumbs up! I believe our first PokeRap Battle article was nothing but a success, being #1 on the poll so far. People seem to enjoy it as far as I know, which is a good sign. We're not sure on the topic for this one. We might...

Hey there, I'd like to write an article on the new item, Assault Vest, and it's effect on some Pokemon and the OU metagame. I'm thinking of talking about the following Pokemon (not in any specific order): Snorlax Excadrill Goodra Scizor Tyranitar These guys make great use of Assault Vest for...

Hello Smog team, I'm here to present an article idea for this issue. 1. Epic Rap Battles of Pokemon This article will be a collaboration between Plus and me. If you've ever watched any of the popular "Epic Rap Battles of History" youtube videos, this is essentially what the article would be...

Okay so I've made a few relatively big changes in regards to Conkeldurr's analysis that I feel are necessary. To make it easier, I'll list them below. Hopefully the rest of QC agrees with the majority of what I will propose. This is a work in progress btw, so feel free to comment on anything...

So I'm not really a huge fan of Natu's dual screens set, so I'm going to alternate the set a bit; however, I'm not exactly sure how this set should be presented, so input on this is appreciated. I'm actually pretty cool. [Overview] <p>Magic Bounce has carved Natu an interesting niche in the...

So after facing this kind of Victini before and getting shockingly slaughtered by it, I decided to try it out for myself and I am not disappointed with the results. Looking at its analysis, this is said in the Other Options: "Victini can run a special set as it has a wide special movepool...

Bibarel was such a boss Baton Pass recipient during DPP. I miss that. R.I.P [Overview] during DPP, had a great niche as one of the best Baton Pass recipients DW changes completely crushed all potential viability of Bibarel, as Simple doesn't double Baton Passed boosts also gained a...

Bibarel was such a boss Baton Pass recipient during DPP. I miss that. R.I.P [Overview] <p>Bibarel is generally an unfortunate case. All three of its abilities are among the best in the game (Moody being banned for being too overpowered), but Bibarel simply lacks the stats and movepool to...

A neat Pokemon I was fortunate enough to use during Conquest. I'm removing the dual screens set because Serperior does it better. dragon tales [Overview] <p>Meganium is your basic bread-and-butter Grass-type Pokemon with nothing too out of the ordinary. A fairly balanced stat spread and...

One of my personal favourite defensive mons. Golem. [Overview] <p>Regirock sits in a decent place within the NU metagame, boasting the most physical bulk and checking many of NU's top-tier physical threats, such as Swellow, Kangaskhan, and Braviary, with its mono-Rock typing. Furthermore, it...

Apparently this set doesn't get to have its own analysis because it's somehow outclassed by Cofagrigus when in reality, that's far from the truth. Both of them are drastically different in statspread and movepool, so each have their own pros and cons. Give it a chance? I ain't even bad. [SET]...

Greetings. I'm posting the skeleton for now while I compile the sets for this behemoth. There is only one set that I know of that works beautifully, so I will add it in for the moment while I test the other sets on-site. They don't look very promising, but we'll see. I'm Regigigas and I'm...
