[OVERVIEW] Sawk is one of the premier Fighting-type Pokemon in 1v1, as thanks to access to Sturdy coupled with a good Speed tier that allows it to outspeed bulky offensive threats like Magearna and Magnezone, it poses a huge threat to a wide range of the 1v1 metagame. Furthermore, its ability to...

[OVERVIEW] Gyarados also has access to Supersonic Skystrike to complement its Water typing quite nicely, allowing it to lure in and break through typical Mega Gyarados checks like Mega Venusaur, slow Kommo-o, and Kartana. Flyinium Z Gyarados does have many flaws, however, including the inability...

[OVERVIEW] Volcarona is the only Bug / Fire type Pokemon in 1v1, which helps it deal with the abundance of Psychic-, Fairy-, and Steel-types in the metagame like Mew, Mega Slowbro, Tapu Lele, Mega Gardevoir, and Mega Metagross. Its good Special Attack and Speed along with Quiver Dance give it...

Coincidentally 1v1 is in the midst of discussing a suspect test for Dragonite, so here's a team showcasing one of its lesser used sets! I'd say this team is a pretty effective team, breaks a lot of opponents and has a decent matchup against most of the current meta, particularly seeing how much...

[OVERVIEW] Mega Venusaur has a solid defensive typing with adequate bulk and Thick Fat, which leaves it weak to just Flying and Psychic. This also means it is the only viable Grass-type that is not weak to either Fire- or Ice-type moves, giving it better matchups against Mega Charizard X and...

[OVERVIEW] Mega Mawile is a force to be reckoned with in the 1v1 metagame, able to deal with top-tier threats such as Mega Gyarados, Porygon-Z, and Tapu Lele. Its ability, Huge Power, grants it the highest effective base Attack in the game, which it can boost even further with Swords Dance. A...

[OVERVIEW] Donphan is an excellent physical bulky offensive presence in the 1v1 metagame with powerful moves, good offensive stats, decent bulk, and an invaluable ability in Sturdy. Donphan's wide movepool with access to Ground- and Rock-type moves allows it to hit the entire tier for at least...

[OVERVIEW] With a stellar Water / Fairy typing, a great Special Attack, and good Special Defense, Primarina proves itself to be a prevalent threat in the 1v1 metagame. Its typing is useful for both defensive and offensive purposes, as it enables it to take on many of the tier's most prevalent...
