Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Been testing this set for the last couple days, and it's been excellent. I really think it deserves a set.

Hey Smogoners, EonADS here with a new RMT for you. Despite always enjoying the UU metagame, I eventually tired of facing Mew and Heracross on every goddamn team. I tried NU again (since I left after Magmortar and Cryogonal made the jump to RU) and I had some fun and made a few teams, but I...
This thing is surprisingly good if you use it right.

Simply this. If one set plays differently form a counterpart that it is highly similar to, does it get its own set?
A good pair of cases would be the recently uploaded RU Sceptile analysis and the current OU Alakazam (Focus Sash) thread.
Sceptile has two Swords Dance sets with similar...
Sorry to add another thing to an already-lagging list, but I felt this needed to be done.

Since Hariyama's analysis is taking me an ungodly amount of time to write up (yes, I decided to write it up before submitting it to QC. it gives me more time to make potential changes to my writing and more leeway for editors to notice errors), I decided to just move on to Gorebyss for the time...
Ok, to the best of my knowledge, there hasn't bee a writeup on this for OU, and it works fairly well, so I guess I'll post the set.
I'm also aware that this set is extremely similar to the Ubers Choice Band set, but it's different enough, and in OU it works quite well too...
Alright, I'm taking this over for Xia with his and Oglemi's permission. He gets credit for writing parts of this up, I believe. His thread can be found and locked here.
NOTE: I'd like critique on a few things I'm considering implementing.

Since Crawdaunt's current analysis is badly outdated, I've decided to do an update. I posted this in the thread for the UU Index/Reservations.
NOTE: TheLegendKiller's DD set doesn't need a GP Check, it was done very recently. He gets credit for the writeup, I just c/p'd it...
While I'm aware that this set has been rejected before, it was only because I wasn't around to fix it for two weeks thanks to computer failure, and didn't make the necessary changes. This time, I've fixed it up a great deal, and I'd like to try again, if possible...
Welcome, warstory readers. EonADS here with another warstory.
First of all, the title discribes the type of battle you're going to see here. Since both of us knew each other's moves, strategies, and teams; we had to play several steps ahead, taking dangerous risks in hopes of a windfall. It's...
Introduction: Hello, all who rate teams. I created this Little Cup team out of sheer boredom, and a desire to take my first steps out of the rough waters of Standard and UU and into the kiddie pool. I loved what I found, so I decided to post my team to see if I could improve upon it further...
Hello all, it's another warstory from yours truly.
This warstory happened about three weeks ago. I'd been having an extremely bad day, both in battling and in life, before this guy came along. Just so you understand, I'm going to be doing these comments in character for that day. I don't...
Introduction
Now that I've finally landed myself on the UU leaderboard completely unaided, I've set my sights on OU. I'm not nearly as experienced in OU, so I figure I'll need some help this time.
This team is interesting because it combines two of the best synergy combinations in OU into...
Looking at the current status of UU leads, one Pokemon came to mind as an Anti-Lead to trump most of them with a single set.

Since the current analysis is still concerned about Glalie being outclassed by Froslass, I figured I'd give him a Lead set to call his own. Also, I've since been persuaded to write the full revamp of Glalie's sets, so that's been added as well.

Hello all. I believe you should recognize me from Felerial's warstory Down to the Wire! That's right, I'm Eon King.
This battle was a random ladder match, but it was also an intense battle and although not quite as close as my battle with Felerial, it's still an excellent match.
Eon King's...
Hello all. Not technically my first warstory, but it is my first one of such a high calibre. Hopefully you enjoy it.
However, before you continue, read the story, don't just skim it and make stupid assumptions. There is a reason behind everything that I've done in the battle, although...
Hello all. I've been playing competitive for about six months now, and I've got a fair handle on battling. So, I figured it's about time I posted my first RMT.
This team is very offensive, as only one Pokemon on the team could be considered defensive. It has some nice synergy, but also several...
