RBY UU Resources ​

Welcome to the RBY UU Resources thread! In here you will find a selection of resources put together to help players get involved in this amazing tier!

RBY UU is the only unofficial generation of UU, and as a Generation 1 metagame it has a wide variety of mechanical differences from later generations, such as the lack of hazards and held items, critical hit rates being based on Speed, the combined Special stat, type-based physical/special split, and perhaps most infamously, Gen 1 Wrap mechanics. This results in a fast-paced, highly-offensive tier with minimal recovery and immense damage output where every turn counts!
