I do not and will never support a speed pass ban in ADV OU. I have a lot of thoughts on this, but I’ll be brief here. Speed pass is valuable because it provides counterplay to Aerodactyl and Dugtrio. Dugtrio’s impact on slower, grounded mons is obvious, but Aero deserves a mention, too. It...

Introduction If you don't know, the Muks 4BL challenge is simple. Climb from 1500 to 1800 elo on the gen3ou ladder using one team with four BL or lower ranked mons for a cash reward. Provide a string of replays as proof. Hclat won the challenge quickly, but he offered the money to anybody else...

I find myself agreeing with Siglut here. Dugtrio offense is not very important. I’ll address it in more detail, though. Giraffe said dugtrio offense is problematic because it forces stall to use two (non-claydol) special checks. He also shared offenses that employ the same idea of stacking...

Platinum Spirits Team: https://pokepast.es/3dd85fb1b4ccc5ab Thoughts: Building for this was interesting. I am surprised aero didn’t make the final cut here, but given how much ttar, dd mence and cm bliss threaten mono flying, I think mence makes sense defensively. Offensively the power is...

Surgical strike: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-2282849489-9qqy495allh4nwp4hpp70rz0x79n7yypw (See previous guts post for alt confirmation) I’m not sure if this counts because even though I was for sure winning (rules say this is the condition for forfeits to count) swampert lives 1...

Recently, ThisGuyMuks started hosting a challenge, offering a cash prize to anybody who could reach 1800/1900 elo on the ADV OU ladder with 4/3 BLs on their team respectively. Naturally, Hclat hit 1900 with 4 BLs almost immediately, but he offered to pass the money forward to anyone who could...

Wasn’t able to qualify for the suspect test, but I reached some nifty milestones along the way so I’m posting them here. Claiming whatever these get me

As many have described, Tyranitar is losing popularity in ADV OU. Many top players rank Skarmory above it in their VRs, partly because of the absurdly effective stalls that have been terrorizing ladder and tours alike. Accompanied by the surge of skarm teams is the decline of not only tar in...

To the people above dismissing this proposal as ridiculous, I ask that you engage with giraffe's (clearly well thought out) post in good faith. If you don't think sableye should be banned, at least explain why. Since I'm not playing any tours right now and I don't envision playing too much in...

Platinum brave, platinum knowledge, silver ability

Claiming Platinum Guts. Over the past few months I made two or three serious runs at this challenge with different versions of this team. I’d gotten within 10-20 points each time, but I always fell short, so this felt good. Here’s the team: https://pokepast.es/2f394c1bca75fdb6 I know the team...

Claiming gold knowledge (almost platinum!) and the Taken By Storm LC on my Semi Literate account. For Taken By Storm, my opponent forfeited after turn 11, but presumably they were running Vapicuno’s physical offense team with ttar/magneton lasts. Accuracy providing, I would just send out...
