Hey, it’s been a long time since we talked, but I just want to say that I’ve seen people mention they talk to you about RBY Ubers and then they come out with some great takes about the tier. I don’t know what you’re saying, but I really appreciate it. I spent way too much time arguing with...

On Kang, Kick gets into Hyper Beam range more consistently, so you can turn your 3HKOs into 2HKOs and wall break more. However, Kick’s accuracy negates that benefit for me personally, and I would only use it if there’s a specific KO I want to get to. However, given that you’re other options for...

I thought you were just memeing, but Laxless teams were a thing for over a decade. i remember when I started playing back then, that several teams opted to play with Gar + Egg + a faster attacker and would go Laxless. Not to mention teams like that JynxMie + CloyDon team that took off in like...

Well evidently this thing glitched. But, I still stand by point that Hera is imba. If everyone disagrees, so be it. But I'll keep rooting for a Hera ban. Also there's nothing wrong with banning Venu as well. The meta is super centralizing, so if banning a few things opens it up, I don't see the...

Can we have a serious discussion about banning Hera? It's honestly imbalanced to the point where it's unhealthy in the meta. CB + Sword Heracross takes out large chunks of HP, and even OHKOs, every time it rolls a physical move. Here's it's damage with some randomly chosen early game, low...

Not really sure where to post this, but the ladder got updated so that those without GXE are removed. Enjoy actually seeing yourself climb again.

Sorry, but what is the point of adding OHKO moves to the meta? What benefits do they add? It seems like you’re asking to add them because they exist. If they weren’t in the game already I don’t know anyone who would think that adding them would be a good idea at all.

Not sure about others, but I’ve used it as an anti-lead against Gar. Many teams with Gar don’t have something that comfortably switches into Dug, so it helps you win the early game. Then you keep it healthy until the endgame and it does ok as a late game sweeper or helps support a Taurus sweep...

Lily_Abnormality I use it a lot myself. It’s got a good mixed attack option and Ghost Fire is a pretty good typing. it’s a real fragile mon though, as in you can’t be disappointed if it dies Turn 2. I think it’s best for HO and just having as much power as soon as possible is the best for it...

This tier has become so frustrating to play and even watch because of this in my opinion. Every game feels like After Hypno left, the game feels so much worse. It's a catch all defensive pivot and that makes it overcentralizing, but like GSC Lax, it's needed. I know some people told me it...

The in game scenario is obviously great, but to give a better example for teambuilding specifically, I like Troller’s quote about Pinsir that’s stuck with me over the years.

That’s interesting. Back almost a decade ago, when the BSlam mechanic discovery was made, I distinctly remember the sleep mechanic being looked into as well. There was a player or two who thought that we might have made a mistake implementing wake up. I can’t remember who (it definitely wasn’t...

This is already a small community and the ladder is dead a lot as it is. I think dividing it even further with a 2v2 and 6v6 ladder is going to exacerbate those problems. If you’re just looking for one you can easily pull up for custom games then yeah I agree that could be good. But you can play...

RBY Ubers tour and ladder is coming up, and I don’t think I can participate in the tour, but I’m excited for the ladder again. I’ve been doing some team building and playtesting (thank you everyone who’s played with me), and getting my creative juices flowing. I’m hoping to get others thinking...

Just thinking about this from a point of view that players will be looking at these posts to see where people ranks things, and not just as a means of synthesizing the information together. The rankings here are going to be fun to see, but I don't know how useful they'll be. The problem with...

Can someone explain the uptick in lead Starmie in Ubers? I keep seeing it get used, but I don’t see it do anything. And I don’t think it does anything unique as a lead, but I’m probably overlooking something. From what I’ve seen it this year’s RBYPL, it seems like you’re playing 5.5 v 6 with...

I didn’t start playing competitive RBY until late ‘14 and didn’t really start to try and try to get into it until ‘15, so I can’t quite talk for people back then. Maybe somebody who played more than like Ortheore or Marcoasd can confirm or deny this. But Golem was a better mon in the old mech...
