What are some good partners for Swanna on a balanced team?

Hi, everyone! I'm not sure where to ask these questions, but I have two of them for you all. 1st- Why are there songs at every suspect test? 2nd- How are the songs chosen? I'm sorry if these are silly questions!

The viability rankings simply just have to do with how well a pokemon fares in the current meta. For example, Xurkitree, a massive threat to defensive teams and a questionable healthiness, is ranked not ranked extremely high due to how it is invalidated by offensive playstyles; a mon that...

What are some typical mons present on an Aurora Veil team besides Sandslash-Alola and Aurorus? What makes the this play style extremely good despite being 4x weak to Hitmonlee, an A+ mon?

Thanks for your detailed response regarding Blastoise's problems in RU!

I'm very new to RU, so could someone please explain to me why Blastoise is sub-par in this meta? Thanks!

I have used this mon with the standard stallbreaker Jellicent and have gotten great results. I run colbur berry on Jellicent. That way, Jellicent can become a better to check fighting types, in addition to checking water types, rock, and ground types that are all strong against Incineroar...

So is Zygarde's general lack of power with an average base attack stat the main reason why this pokemon has not been moved up to S rank in OU?

What are some good countermeasures against sun teams?

Hi, I am still new to PU, but I feel like I am starting to get a little better each time I battle. I am usually not good at making new teams, but this one has sort of worked so far. Unfortunately, my teams rarely make it past 1200 on the ladder. This teams focus is on a u-turn & volt-turn core...

I would like to nominate gorebyss to B+. I believe that it is currently underrated because it is able to function as either a stallbreaker or a late game cleaner with shell smash. Even though Muk and Quagsire are fairly popular, gorebyss can still smack quagsire with hidden power grass and...

I'm extremely new yet to posting, but I have played PU quite often. I feel that Oranguru might carve out a niche as being a bulky stallbreaker with a set such as this: Oranguru @ Leftovers Ability: Inner Focus EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD Bold Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Substitute - Calm Mind -...

Thanks for your interesting post on the PU Speculation Thread. I always like reading posts like those! :)

No one has mentioned Bruxish yet, though. I think it will fall to PU. Although it has a devastating weakness to knock off and grass types, I feel that it's ability Dazzling, combined with decent speed and swords dance, will help it shine. Especially since it destroys Muk, Trapinch, and Probopass...

I feel that Simisage will increase in viability a lot if Quagsire becomes dominant on stall teams. Simisage can run a life orb physically biased mixed set and destroy common cores OR use quagsire as sub nasty plot fodder. Since simisage can run superpower, it can beat Audino as well. It also...

Hi Wailing Wailord. I'm pretty new here, too. From my experience, you might want to try running Purugly on a hazard-stacking team, or a sticky web team. I have some fun teams that you could try, but they don't work very well past 1400 on the ladder. I want to format the post so I can make the...

Hi. I am new to pokemonshowdown. I've seen you battle before and you are amazing. I have recently started to use Cacturne on my trick room team. It is insanely scary. I've posted mine on Squad Dump.

I don't know you well, but I read your posts about Cacturne. You are so true. It's definitely a monster. I've had good success with it on my trick room team. I've posted it recently on Squad Dump. I'm glad you nominated cacturne to S rank.

http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/cacturne.gif, http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/marowak.gif Description: Here's another one of my teams for you all. This time, I am submitting a Trick Room Team. It features Cacturne and Marowak. This is an extremely fun team to use. It...

I've built a very interesting team that includes Cacturne, Lampent, Grumpig, Purugly, Simipour, and Rampardos. This is an extremely fun team to use. It has gotten me to about 1350 on the ladder, and then it doesn't win very much any more. As you can see by the movesets, I really love the move...
