    I've been using njnp's team a lot recently and wow! (team here) This team is insane even when you play it poorly. Really amazing synergy between every member of the team and screens in this meta are extremely valuable when everything hits like a truck. It helps everyone to get in and do their...

    I got my butt kicked by one Orthworm with Sitrus Berry+Shed Tail where it survived one hit but got enough health to pass a winning Shed Tail Sub'. But otherwise, it's a lot riskier on Orthworm. You have to be in the perfect situation where it can pass its sub since you probably won't get another...

    Hi, local Hatterene fangirl here. 1) Hatterene seems to have gained a bit more popularity as the meta is developing. I've seen her on more and more teams simply thanks to Magic Bounce and good defensive profile as an anti-lead. 2) I like the classic Calm Mind set that runs Draining Kiss...

    Found this team randomly while watching someone else playing on showdown. May as well share, sets are not exact and you'd definitely need to change EVs and IVs on some of these. You got Lilligant and Torkoal for some good Eruption spam. Lilligant's After You lets it retain its good utility even...

    Been experimenting with Hatterene by going solo trick room "sweeper". My idea was to bypass Hatterene's passivity by going for Trick Room on the switches she often forces. It sorta works so I feel like I'm onto something but maybe I should go all out on power by going for Dazzling Gleam instead...

    I've used this on my monotype fairy team and it's like, okay? I wish it had better HP since its base HP is so miserable it can't pass strong wishes. But it has a small niche with its ability. I tend to run Body Press on it though. Takes advantage of its physical defense.

    Despite Rotom-Wash losing both Defog and Pain Split (why???), Nasty Plot is one mean set to run with all the switches it forces. Obviously not full proof, you have to rely on Hydro Pump to hit some threats. But still pretty powerful for unprepared teams that expect it to be defensive or choice...

    Been trying out gimmicky stuff with Hatterene but I find that her Calm Mind set is ultimately her better one. It's hard to make her work too with all these ghosts walking around and decking you in the face if you even think about staying in. Still, Magic Bounce is a great ace to have against all...

    It's interesting how predictable it gets though. This creature was built for one thing and one thing only: to pass subs. Once in a blue moon, it will knock you off or rapid spin. But its sole purpose is to shed its skin and send it to its teammates for free set ups (icky). It does strike a...

    That's sad, its ability seems pretty neat. Funny how regular Tentacruel would deal with Gholdengo better than Toedscruel.

    I haven't seen any Toedscruel anywhere yet. How is it compared to classic Tentacruel? Toedscool is one of the funniest little guys they introduced. Every time I see it, I hear Squidward's foot steps sfx.

    Hot take but while it does artificially inflate the usage of a pokemon, I do like how these campaigns promote exploring a pokemon's potential beyond what's already known. Even if they end up being bad, examining niche mons can at least confirm their status as bad pokemon. And if they prove to...

    What's the opinion on running Will-O-Wisp on Chi-Yu? Is it too redundant when it already has Lava Plume to fish for burns? I'm just looking at its options for a Nasty Plot + Boots set. Obviously, Choice Specs is insane but with all these hazards around, I feel that boots are just as valuable.
