I like gen 5 pokemon B2/W2 a lot because it had the most things to do. However, the thing that ruined it the most for me was the rival. Hugh was such an uninteresting and unrealistic character. He doesn't have any personality and the only way that he is made "interesting" is the fact that his...

I think that's going a bit too far. While Jynx is the better psychic type, gardevoir has one niche over it: trace. It's ability allows it to stop weather teams immediately. While this isn't enough to justify it's use on teams, it is a niche and an option for people who are weather weak.

I think some people forgot to change it's ability and poison point is the default.

While I somewhat agree, some of these pokemon have niches in OU. -Donphan is the most viable spinner for a sun team. Sun teams HAVE to have a spinner and the only other OU pokemon are starmie, forretress and tentacruel iirc and all of them suck under sun. -Jolteon is an electric attack absorber...

Sorry if this is a stupid question but why is golduck in s rank while simipour is in a rank? While golduck may have better bulk, simipour has grass knot, nasty plot, torrent and base 101 speed, enough to outpace most of the metagame. It also has slightly higher special attack. I guess golduck...

Hi smogon. This is my first rmt posted here. This is a ubers team, my favorite tier. I would post the teambuilding progress but I've made so many tweaks to it that I can't remember which pokemon I started out with. Anyways, here's my team: Darkrai @ Life Orb Trait: Bad Dreams EVs: 212 SAtk /...

IS tangla allowed in LC?

Came here just to say that this issue was awesome, especially the battling 1337. It takes a lot to make me laugh but i laughed out loud several times while reading the article.

Please don't unban it. Smashpass smeargle is hard to deal with as it is. With moody, the game turns into a luck fest. If you get to +2 in evasion or speed, it's basically gg. This ability makes bibaral viable in ubers. If bibaral gets to +2 in speed, it can just spam protect and substitute then...

Lol, why are people still using ambipom and dusclops.

As i said, the pokemon can not switch in directly. What you can do however, is sack heatran. If the landorus attempts to set up, flamethrower will do a lot of damage. If landorus kills it, you can switch in something like vaporeon. Yes your oppoment can switch out. The point is that then...

The list of pokemon I made could still check most variants. Admittedly, few of them can switch in safely, but after you sack something, they can KO lando. Unless it is a choice band or choice specs variant, all if the pokemon can take a hit and counter back if it is the special variant and most...

I said that they could TAKE A HIT AND KO BACK not switch in. I concede that you may have to sack something to stop lando. Once again, the same can be said for many other pokemon. CB terrakion comes to mind. SO does choice specs latios. A good player can also predict a HP ice and switch in...

Here is a complete list of all the pokemon that can take a hit and hit back to KO (not including SR)? It's a lot longer than four pokemon. They are: Politoed Vaporeon Jellicent Latios Latias Celebi Rotom-W Chansey/Blissley (3HKOed, can stall with toxic) Keldo Thunderus-T Tornadus...

It's true that you will often have to sack something to revenge lando however, the same could be said for many other threats. One example is terrakion. What pokemon in OU isn't 2HKOed by CC or stone edge? The same can go for things like choice specs latios. With prediction, your ferro can go...

I would just like to point out that saying that landorus has no safe switch-ins is not a good reason for saying that it is broken. Lots of things in OU have "no safe switch ins". What pokemon in OU can safely switch into CB terrakion? Chioce Specs Latios? CB Kyurem-B? CHoice specs keldo? Choice...

I nominate Blaziken, the first starter to be banned. Making a jump from UU to ubers, it was almost impossible to prepare for. It could protect on the first turn, SD on the second and it was basically gg. The only "counter" it had was jellicent, but even jelli is 2HKOed by shadow claw. When it...
