Other Tiers ADV 200 General Discussion Thread

[Reverend]

For anyone interested I've been hosting an RS 200 tournament in my discord and have been compiling the usage statistics and winrates.

And I also put together an illegal movelist and role compendium (assumes vanilla RS only, no pokemon box or event moves)

i have extrapolated from this data that skarmory is pretty good

I'd like to leave my mark on this thread by dropping a set that I've been having a lot of fun with recently. Let me present: Lead 4 attacks Alakazam.

Set Here

Alakazam @ Lum Berry
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psychic
- Fire Punch
- Thunder Punch / Hidden Power Grass
- Ice Punch

This set eschews boosting with calm mind and replaces it with immediately smashing your foes over the head. Going modest over timid is because you'll be outspeeding most common leads even without the boosting nature, and the ones that will would outspeed you anyway. Psychic and Fire punch are obligatory moves that give you coverage against most of the meta game, and Ice Punch is for scaring leading salamence and other more niche mons like flygon and rhydon. The last move is either Thunder Punch or Hidden Power Grass. Thunder Punch obliterates leading gyarados and does good damage to milotic and starmie which might want to swicth in. Hidden power grass is for dropping lead swampert while still doing decent damage to milo, star, and also lanturne that would want to paralyze Zam. The choice depends on what your team might want eliminated.

I didn't come up with this set, but it's one I've stuck on a few of my teams. Have fun, and may the ladder go up this year lmao
