:sv/flutter-mane: While nowhere nightmarish as before, Flutter Mane is still a pain to deal with. Still boasting the near-perfect STAB coverage that only a few type combinations resist both and Protosynthesis boosting its speed all without the move locking, to the point that Heatran and...

Should Terastallization be suspect tested in Doubles OU? Terastallization is perhaps one of more mixed mechanic Game Freak has ever introduced, at least among the competitive side; casual players seem to generally enjoy it, especially when compared to Dynamax. Personally, I think...

Ursaluna: Ban

On the one hand, Ursaluna's existence acutally increase the ladder's quality by a bit, but what I said about Ursaluna before still mostly applies. Definitely will be voting ban.

:sv/ursaluna: Ursaluna is ridiculous that it isn't funny. A good way to compare it is Melmetal that boasted terrifying firepower and bulk that it doesn't just benefited from Trick Room, but Tailwind as well. Guts + STAB Facade just erase almost everything in sight and most Ghost-types dread its...

Flutter Mane: Keep banned

A good way to describe Annihilape is it's like Flutter Mane but for different reasons. The way Rage Fist works meant that it encourages defensive support such as Screens and Intimidate, with the best counterplay being defensive as well, like using Will-o-wisp on Annihilape or screens as the...

Here are some of my quick thoughts on Doubles Mashups: STABmons Doubles Booster Energy: Having it remain banned really didn't solve anything in STABmons Doubles in the grand scheme of things since you can now pair it with Torkoal or Pincurchin, especially since Pincurchin gets Volt Switch and...

I feel like it would be better if it had more restrictions in place, especially considering Tatsugiri was recently banned in Doubles OU. Only allowing one Pokemon to be the commander should be a start. Another proposal I have is to boost +1 on 2 stats instead since even at +1 is strong enough...

Well, that has more to do with BH Doubles not being focused for a variety of reasons, mainly for the lack of interest and being less balanced compared to other Doubles Mashups. The banlist was also done before regular BH has banned Neutralizing Gas. If you have any related questions in the...

Since nobody else has announced it, I've stepped down from my position as room moderator as well STABmons Doubles and AAA Doubles tier leadership. Roldski32 will now be handling STABmons Doubles while longhiep341 will be handling AAA Doubles, congratulation to both, and wish them the best of luck.

STABmons Doubles: On the radar When was the last time I've talked about STABmons Doubles? Anyway, I'll be listing anything that might be overwhelming in STABmons Doubles and may be worth taking action later down line. :ss/genesect: Genesect/Rage Powder Genesect is one of the best redirectors...

As someone who did not enjoy Dynamax at all, I'm against having Dynamax back. I found Dynamax to be too overcentralizing for its own good and it does feel like it's designed as if all Pokemon in the team are Dynamaxed because most regular Pokemon tend to struggle against Dynamax Pokemon with...

Landorus-I: Do Not Ban

It's almost the end of the year, so I've come to make it double with two Almost Any Ability Doubles announcements! :urshifu: With 2 out of 3 unban votes, Urshifu Rapid Strike will be unbanned in AAA Doubles for now! Of course, if it somehow ends up being problematic, we may look into it again...

The suspect test for Urshifu-Rapid in AAA Doubles is now over. Here are the qualified voters. Unfortunately, the AAA Doubles suspect test did not gather much attention, and half of them need verification on having a smogon account because I cannot @ them. So far, we have longhiep341...

AAA Doubles will be suspect testing Urshifu Rapid Strike! :ss/urshifu-rapid-strike: This suspect test will be an attempt to reintroduce Urshifu Rapid Strike back into AAA Doubles after it was quickbanned. Urshifu Rapid Strike is one of the biggest offensive threats thanks to Surging Strikes...

Spread Move In this Doubles-based OM, almost any move in the first slot will now target all foes unless those moves already could before. Any attack that hits multiple targets will have its damage reduced by 25% as usual. Rules: Doubles OU ruleset Restricted moves (These moves cannot be...
