Lower Tiers ADV Lower/Other Tiers Hub

[vapicuno]

​

Welcome! This is a resource thread for everything ADV that isn't OU. At the moment, lower/other tiers threads are split between the current generation lower/other tier forums (Ubers, UU, NU, 1v1) and this forum, so navigating the lower/other tier landscape may be confusing. Generally, though,

• Metagame discussions and Viability rankings are held in this forum.
• Resources are updated in the current generation lower/other tier forums
• Tournaments are held in both forums and in the RoA Spotlight Tournaments subforum. For example,
  • Cup tournaments are held in the Smogon Metagame Circuits forum for lower tiers (Ubers, UU, NU) and the Other Circuits forum for other tiers (1v1).
  • Team tournaments are held in this forum as ADVPL and in the current generation lower tier forums as XPL where X = Ubers, UU, NU.
  • Spotlight Tournaments in the RoA Tournaments subforum occasionally feature ADV lower/other tiers as well.
  • Check out the tournament schedules of the respective forums for the dates of these tournaments. Don't miss out unofficial tours (such as NU classic) that may be hosted in the lower/other tiers or RoA forums as well!

Note that the ADV forum moderators do not actively track the emergence and extinction of lower/other tiers. If any lower/other tiers are active and have been omitted from the list, or if any tiers become defunct, let an ADV forum moderator know.
