What are some good OU stallbreakers that can sponge electric attacks?
he can't really stallbreak to well since non-duggy stalls usually have an unaware user if not always
taunt tran, amoongus, specs mag and stallbreaker talonflame should all be able to switch into and 1v1 it, as well as all having at least decent bulk and a multitude of uses outside of checking clefany bulky mons that somewhat beat clef?

Ok so it seems to be the general consensus that laddering with a friend (irl or otherwise) is more effective than laddering alone, like for instance Simiatic and a couple of friends qualified for voting and seemed to support each other. Also, according to the Teambuilding Guide, teams are also better when more than one person works on them.
My question is this: How does one find such a friend? I'm pretty sure it's too late to try to get reqs, but next generation I'd really appreciate someone to help work on teams and stuff with me.
Generally you just get friendly with other players chatting in PS rooms, or somewhere similar like Discord.Ok so it seems to be the general consensus that laddering with a friend (irl or otherwise) is more effective than laddering alone, like for instance Simiatic and a couple of friends qualified for voting and seemed to support each other.

All of my friends are either from Smogon or from other sites. Just try to integrate yourself within the community and eventually you'll make some friends.Ok so it seems to be the general consensus that laddering with a friend (irl or otherwise) is more effective than laddering alone, like for instance Simiatic and a couple of friends qualified for voting and seemed to support each other.

Use sample / notable teams, and use those until a point where you feel like you are comfortable enough to start building your own teams. If it's making plays and such that is the issue, then I would recommend just analyzing "why did my opponent do that, and how can I better anticipate that next time?" or a thought process in that vain of thinking. Overall practice makes perfect.So i'm new to PS and managed to 1400 with a single team. I got tired of using the same team, and started playing around with other teams and now i find myself stuck at about 1200.
So my question is, what's wrong with me lol?
I think I might be struggling with the unpredictable (by which i mean predictable) moves in the lower rankings. I always over-predict. I should just think through my moves a bit moreUse sample / notable teams, and use those until a point where you feel like you are comfortable enough to start building your own teams.

When you're laddering there's no way to know the skill level of your opponent right from the start, that's why you should play safe until you feel confident enough to be able to predict your opponent's moves, trying to outpredict and outplay right from turn 1 on the ladder is pretty dangerous lol. I usually play it safe until my opponent starts getting aggresive or I feel I've been playing from the back the whole game and just giving up free momentum. I hope this helps ^_^I think I might be struggling with the unpredictable (by which i mean predictable) moves in the lower rankings. I always over-predict.

Not yetSorry if there is info already pertaining to this, but has the verdict on the M Sab suspect test been reached?
What? The individual Pokemon threads are dumb and don't serve much of a purpose. There's still tons of room for open and free discussion, in the creative sets thread, the metagame discussion thread, the VR thread, and the like. Starting next gen there will be individual Pokemon threads again, and when those begin to died out we'll just move towards the kind of thing that we're doing now. Individual Pokemon threads never last much more than two or three weeks at best either, once we get past that start of the gen period. You're blowing this way way way way out of the water man.I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, so please redirect me to the proper area if it's not. Wasn't able to find anywhere better on my own.
I know I'm a year or more late on this, but why have all individual pokemon threads been locked? It seems to me that the free and open discussion of various sets and strategies was what once made Smogon a great site, and the removal of this feature is actively stifling to strategic development and will ultimately prove harmful to the community. Many, if not most, of the innovative sets or EV spreads that have graced pokemon over the years have been a result of those free and open discussions, and would never have come to light if discussion and strategizing were as frowned upon as they currently seem to be.
What gives?
Those tend to clutter the forum. Dedicated threads such as the Metagame Discussion, Creative & Underrated Sets, and Underdog Project (for low- or unranked mons specifically) threads exist to facilitate those discussions.I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, so please redirect me to the proper area if it's not.

Has not been determined yet, and yes this would be the right place.Not sure this is the right place for it, but is there an initial banlist for SuMo OU, or has it not been determined yet?
Released where?
I'm asking because they're already released in Australia
