Competitive ResourcesWelcome to Smogon's collection of competitive articles! Smogon is dedicated to the competitive aspects of Pokémon. The articles here will focus on the competitive nature of the games, describing the meta-relevant mechanics and changes in each generation. They will break down each of our tiers and equip you with vital knowledge of the metagames, such as speed tiers and viability rankings. The purpose of this collection of competitive resources is to provide you with the minimal, but critical, info to get started playing competitively. We invite you to check out our forums and Smogon's Flying Press publications for more discussion and detailed information. The articles in this section are organized by competitive generation, consistent with our StrategyDex. We hope you find a way to make use of the information found here at Smogon University. |
