Hey all. A while back I put together my first in-game competitive VGC team. And it did ok, but I hit a pretty solid wall around 1650 that I just couldn't break through. After spending a ton of time on Showdown tinkering with other ideas, I finally came back to this team with some new insight and...

So I am a long-time veteran to Pokemon and the online variants. But it has been a year or so since I played competitively and I don't own a 3DS so I haven't played XY... so that means I'm coming in really fresh. I've been tinkering and learning for a couple days and I've got a fairly decent team...

The biggest challenge in entering into the vastly deep metagame of competitive pokemon is the idea of team creation. Who's the best? Does the team mesh? Are there any glaring weaknesses to a team? How do you overcome the current top competitors? No matter if you are new to the...

My old team kept me around 1450 when I played any kind of consistently shortly after platinum release. After getting a decent warstory out of it I realized that its now lacking in the current metagame. Instead of tweaking the team I decided to start fresh with a few ideas I had been working on...

So much of what goes into a team is focused on the lead pokemon. I think it would be a good idea, as a community, to try to further our understanding of leads with more than just trial and error in the current metagame. I propose we describe what we want a lead to do in-depth for a team and how...

I’ve been playing with my team for a while now. It fared very well throughout the early days of Latias being in OU but has been somewhat lacking as of late. I don’t know if it’s the metagame changing or me, but I’m yet to sit down and try to tweak the team, I just like it too much. B-Run's...
