Very cool team, I only have one suggestion. Wouldn't confide be better than calm mind on blissey because it doesn't have any special attacks? Calm mind makes you more vulnerable to being screwed over by a crit, because you might have to take a +6 crit attack for a turn rather than what is...

Spikes exist, but Ho-Oh is a pretty reliable defogger. This team also has Giratina-O so spikes aren't as big of a concern

Hello all! I wanted to build around the established ND Ubers stall core of Giratina (Altered or Origin,) Ho-Oh, Dondozo, and Chansey. This team has achieved #9 on the ND Ubers ladder so far. Rationale for choosing team members: SV ND Ubers has established a "big 4" core for stall. I chose...

Rotating back and forth genuinely sounds like something I could get behind, especially because when I hear about players getting burnout they eventually return to the meta after getting some inspiration. Playing the one ladder might help people innovate and think of ideas for when the other one...

As a general metagame comment, does existing for a long time and being stable have to mean it's bad? ADV OU for example has many mons and concepts established to be good and consistent, yet innovation still happens all the time. Though it seems stale in the short term, changes are still...

Feel free to remove this if this isn't the right place for me to post this, but I just did a STAB RMT for the new DLC meta. https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/stabmons-the-itsy-bitsy-spider.3733293/

"The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout. Down came the rain And washed the spider out..." Rain has always one of my favorite playstyles in general, just look at Psyshroom lol. I messed around with Dragon Energy Water Spout Kingdra back in SS STABmons to great effect, and I decided to...

Avalanche of negative metagame development

Hi, we're paired for the Shared Power Triples open round 2.

Who even uses those mons seriously in DOU?

I don't know if there's a way to account for them. It seems to me like USUM OU is a bit more MU centric and stall sometimes has to pick and choose its answers

Thank you for the help! I really appreciate it.

I see. How does this look? https://pokepast.es/5daecc6dfc58414a

The main reason I wanted full defense blissey is that it can beat Dugtrio if it toxics it on the switch or at full health. What does Ice Beam Blissey without any HP investment specifically help with? Also, how does Curse pert make me stronger vs Suicune and Starmie? If I went the Metagross...

Hello friends! I'm relatively new to ADV OU but I built myself a team. I haven't gotten to high on ladder but that's probably a combination of inexperience in playing the tier and in the teambuilder. I really wanted to build a TSS team that included Knock Off to worsen the opposing team's...

The new server-side team storage feature is great for players that want to be able to sync teams across devices, but it doesn't save the Pokemon's nicknames, even if they are manually re-added. This change is frustrating because nicknames are a way for players to personalize their team, and are...
