Hey everyone, I'm Jediment, going by kimchijeon on Showdown, and I'm back with another offense team. After the Dynamax ban, I spent some time re-evaluating my previous Sticky Web team and ultimately ended up with a totally new beast. I managed to take this team much further up the ladder than...

Introduction Hey everyone, my name is Jediment. I've been lurking around the competitive Pokemon community since around 2007, mainly playing around the release of new games. It's been absolute ages since I've posted an RMT - I'm not a well known tournament player and I've never topped the ladder...

RAINBOW! Introduction Since the release of the official UU round one tier list, I've become very interested in the underused metagame. I never played UU in Gen IV; however, my distaste for rain teams and the result of many of my favorite Pokemon (notably Donphan) ending up in UU intrigued...

To me, Empoleon seems to occupy an important niche in that he resists every STAB move coming off Kyurem and has enough defenses to withstand the infamous V-create. Although he is still weak to both Fusion Bolt and Focus Blast, two common coverage moves that these Pokemon carry, Empoleon's...

Hello all, I used to frequent Shoddy Battle for a time a few years ago but sort of lost interest in competitive battling. Since the release of 5th gen I've been playing on and off, and after a little while I think I'm ready to post this team. It's brought me a reasonable amount of success...

Working on a team for the Pokemon Nationals which are being held not far from where I live. Lucario @ Focus Sash "Georgie" Inner Focus, Lonely 1. Crunch 2. Close Combat 3. Counter 4. ExtremeSpeed EVs: 252 atk/252 spe/4 hp Awesome anti lead. kills any attempt at fake out and handles pretty much...

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/dragonite Many of the sets lack content, and the analysis overall could use work. I left the sets largely intact, though I changed the mixed attacking set to a pure subpunching variant. [SET] Name: Dragon Dance Move 1: Dragon Dance Move 2: Outrage Move 3: Fire...

Okay, I'm going to try again with this one. Last time was not great, because most everyone posted saying "mixcario is a dumb name !!!" or "this is a dumb idea !!!" or "you're dumb !!!". Anyway, let's get the discussion rolling. The idea here is Lucario as a mixed attacker. Here's the proposed...

Theorymon commence. Out of all the Pokemon who learn Belly Drum, Hariyama has the highest attack. He's also quite bulky (not as much as Snorlax, but still quite sturdy). He also has access to a priority move, Bullet Punch (which CAN be obtained with Belly Drum, because Belly Drum is a level up...

Just curious, is the formula for the application of a base stat known? I'm trying to figure it out exactly (and having some difficulty) so I just wanted to make sure my efforts aren't all for naught. It seems from what I've seen that in bx=s (b is the base stat and s is the stat without EVs at...

This has probably been asked before, but after using a Dusknoir with Torment for a time, I must ask the question: why is Torment practically never used at all? It works wonders on defensively-minded Pokemon, especially with the propensity of Choice-users running around all over the metagame...

PLEASE NO FLAMES Okay, first of all, I'm not crazy, nuts, or crazy-go-nuts. I mean this. While Tyranitar's preferred method of boosting is usually Dragon Dance, that doesn't mean Curse isn't a good option. One of the most neglected stats that Tyranitar has is his nice defense coupled with...

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/meganium The analysis is written poorly for the UU metagame and "terse", as X-Act put it. [SET] Set name: Support Move 1: Energy Ball Move 2: Aromatherapy Move 3: Light Screen/Reflect Move 4: Leech Seed/Synthesis Item: Leftovers Nature: Bold EVs: 216 HP/148...

EDIT: Rattata edits removed due to popular consensus as a gimmick. http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/glalie Poorly done analysis. Leaving sets intact, lengthening opinions (one line is a tad short). [SET] Set name: Choice Band Move 1: Ice Fang/Ice Shard Move 2: Earthquake Move 3: Explosion Move...

I was battling the other day on Shoddy when a very unusual thing happened. I run a Milotic with Mirror Coat and I was facing an opposing Starmie. For whatever unfathomable reason, the Starmie used Ice Beam as I used Mirror Coat. What happened next was truly perplexing. I froze solid, immediately...

Perhaps the most infamous combination of two Pokemon ever devised is SkarmBliss. In the GSC generation the sheer stalling power of two of the metagame's best walls enraged the users of NetBattle, leading to a wave of "NO SKARMBLISS!!!1!1!" in NetBattle user descriptions. And when the ADV...

Everyone I talk to has some shinies. And, if you've been playing since the metal generation, it'd be pretty hard for you to have played say 200 hours + on every game and never found a shiny. While this is true of me (I have at least 300 hours in every generation since gen 2), I've never seen a...

Okay, my first warstory. Team PHOXHOUND: |Spiritomb| |Lucario| |Donphan| |Milotic| |Togekiss| |Gengar| Team HEIMDELL: |Weavile| |Skarmory| |Ninetales| |Dusknoir| |Lucario| |Yanmega| Rules: Ladder Match, Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage...

That's right, an EV calculator. Spawned out of my desolate hatred for manually counting EVs, it may require you to know your IVs for a stat, but it just might work. Still in development (aka I just started) but I have one thing to say about it so far: thank GOD for the property of equality (I...
