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.
I have reached an “unbreakable” 317 streak in Arena! I elated at reaching an absurd 300+ streak and I am extremely happy at even how I lost (see below). I am immediately retiring from this facility forever with the record. Thank you to Actaeon and Jellal for watching most of the streak. This...
First of all, congratulations! I always like seeing new Arena teams on the leaderboard. I tried out Adamant Yawn Lax and is definitely inferior to the classic Careful set. However, Snorlax is still an excellent pokemon and EQ/Shadowball coverage is something that Actaeon and I have fiddled...
I reached 199 wins in Open Level with God Lax, Latios and Tyranitar!
GOD (Snorlax) @ Lum Berry

Yawn Lax lead is still the most broken pokemon to use in...
Reporting a 1163 pike streak! I'm proud to finally hit the elusive 1000+ rooms (Actaeon did it first).
Lost to a bird keeper with an agility skarmory and an articuno. Skarmory had a lot of PP with Steel wing and aircutter... if I had rest on swampert, it would have been very useful here. Wish...
Hey Battle Frontier Account! I felt compelled to reply to this, as Arena is my favourite facility. I am not here whether to judge the streak is legitimate or not, but to give to some friendly advice.
To begin, I would strongly advise you to learn the mechanics of breeding, evs and ivs. Your...
Been pretty busy trying out some novelty Arena teams and accidentally discovered a really interesting Suicune set. I reached 182 wins in OPEN LEVEL with Suicune, Latios and Tyranitar!
Credits to Captain Santana for the Bold Hp grass Suicune. Thank you to Actaeon and Captain Santana and Kommo-o...
Update: I have finally achieved 200+ wins! My streak has ended @207 with Gengar, Milotic and Latios. Milotic tied against Meganium who set up lightscreen and Latios couldn't beat shadow ball Exploud of all things with lightscreen up. I'm not even sad about it. I've lost close to 200-300 times in...
I am still in the process of reaching 200+ wins in Arena. I feel very close to the 200 holy grail and I'm still optimizing some teams.
I came really close with 186 wins with Choice Band Metagross, Milotic and Latios. Lost to Starmie, Raikou and Metagross. Metagross Exploded on Starmie, Raikou...
Set a new Open Level Arena record with Milotic, Heracross and Latios at 148 wins! I'm incredibly proud of my Milotic set (with help from Actaeon optimizing evs). I wanted to grind for 200 wins, but I've been haxed too many times at inopportune moments to grind further. Definitely need to a take...
Set a new Open Level Arena record of 135 wins with Suicune, Metagross and Latios! Credits to Jellal for the Modest Suicune! He asked me to try Suicune in Arena a while back and I’ve finally found the right spread and combination.
Suicune in the Arena is the perfect combination of bulk and...
Update: My Salamence team has ended at 723 Tower wins. Lost to Snorlax 4. I stole the QC, but Zapdos couldn't dodge enough hits (even with +2 or +3). Salamence couldn't set up and then I lost. No shame in this loss. It's just an incredibly difficult threat to deal with.
I actually tried out...
Update: I reached 378 wins with Salamence! I also provided an "overly detailed list of potential threats".
It can be simplified to QC users, explosion leads, METAGROSS 4-8, missing icy wind, or getting crit by QC physicals. Baton pass into a dangerous threat is also something to be wary about...
Introducing Open Level Tyranitar Arena!
Tyranitar hasn't been explored much overall. I will be introducing this Arena team that Actaeon and I have been working on. Shout out to Adedede for the shiny Tyranitar! I started writing about this around the same time as Acteon. I'll leave the set...
As you can tell, I've tried Salamence with multiple different set ups. This time, I am using MEMENTO Gardevoir + Zapdos + Salamence. Shout out to all who have been watching me on stream. Especially Actaeon for his help optimizing the spread. I reached 273 wins... which makes it officially the...
