It's been a very long time since I posted a RMT here. I think the last time was when I was preparing for the Kanto Classic! Thanks to problems I had with Generation VII as well as a lack of people to battle, I just got out of Pokemon. Last month, an old high school friend contacted me and we...

The second I saw that there would be an official 6v6 tournament on Battle Spot to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pokémon (I feel old...), I was all over that. Especially at how they are trying to recapture the feeling of Generation I the best you can on a Generation VI game. Team Preview...

Okay, while I enjoyed my HailRoom team a lot, it’s performance was a very mixed bag. While it did great on the first day of the International Challenge, it did so badly the second day that I ended with a record of 11-9 and most of those losses were massacres. So, after some thought, I decided to...

Image by me, original Mega Abomasnow and Jellicent artwork by Ken Sugimori While I have been playing Pokémon since May 2009 and competitively since November 2010, I’m not very good at doubles, having only dabbled it in a year ago. Recently, I’ve been playing some double matches using my rough...

Let me take you back to the days of Pokémon Emerald: So you are on your journey through the Hoenn region and you make it to Slateport. You’re about to go to Route 110 when you notice something: the Contest Hall has been replaced with a strange new building. You go in and discover that this is a...

Hello, Smogon! Once again, I’m here to improve my main team. Said team works with what I am best with: bulky Pokémon. I don’t like stall (and I find it doesn’t work when I play it in Pokémon), but bulky Pokémon that can take hits just work well for me. While the first version of this team I used...

Thanks to improvements in technology, Super Secret Bases in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are much easier to share than their Gen III counterparts. So this thread is a dedicated location for us to share our Bases. All you have to do is post the QR code for your Base, the location, and add a...

Hello everyone, Vader_the_White speaking! Right now, people all over the world are getting their copies of Pokémon Omega Ruby and/or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and we are all excited. One feature that is highly anticipated is the return of Secret Bases, which haven’t been seen in any form since...

Well, it's official: there's going to be a Pokémon fighting game. The game is a crossover between the Pokémon series and the Tekken series. The game is being developed by Namco (makers of the Tekken series) and will be released to arcades next year. The only confirmed characters are Lucario...

I rarely venture off onto the realm of gods that is Ubers. I tend to have a really hard time picking Pokémon from the amazing and cool selection. This time, however, I had a plan. When working on my current OU team, I had discovered that I’m best with bulky Pokémon compared to those more...

My previous team I had for the Gen, while had some good Pokémon, kept losing when I faced my friends. I was stumped as to why I was losing so much this Gen when last Gen I did so well. I started to notice the Pokémon of mine that were doing the best on my team were my walls and then it hit me...

It's been a while since I last was here. I don't even think Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 was out. It's good being back. After weeks of putting it off, I’ve finally made my first Gen VI team. While I wanted to continue Sandstorm after an amazing time with it throughout the previous gen, the nerf...

This is the Sandstorm team I currently have on Pokemon Black. The following Pokemon have been EV trained and gotten to level 100 and have the listed items and movesets. I really need help on getting it better, but in a way that is easy to accomplish on the DS. Godzilla (Tyranitar) @ Choice...

Having used nothing but Sandstorm in OU, I decided to try out a good general team. Uri (Alakazam) (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Magic Guard EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Psychic - Psyshock - Focus Blast - Shadow Ball Alakazam has gotten so much better...

Since I read the Sandstorm Gen IV article here on Smogon in November, I've been trying to build a Sandstorm team. Here is my second real attempt at a Sandstorm team for Pokemon Black and White. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Godzilla (Tyranitar) (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Sand...

I've been on Smogon for about a month now, but I mostly focused on Gen I teams. With the upcoming release of Black and White, I've decided to work on my first modern competive team. This is my Sandstorm team I've been working for a couple weeks now. To test it, I've used a Gen IV version until I...
