Sea of Fire - An OU Sun Team Hi everyone! For those who don't know me, I'm an OU moderator on Showdown! - stop by and chat! Anyway, I'm here with one of my most successful teams. I wanted to make a Sun team that would also do relatively well against Rain. My teambuilding style is "no cool...

Extreme VoltTurn And you thought a 3 Pokemon VoltTurn core was a lot. I know troll teams are not supposed to be posted, to answer the thought you may have when seeing this team. This is not a troll team or a bad gimmick, however. Lackadaisically, I thought to myself how well a team of six...

So I know issue 27 hasn't been released yet, but I'm making this in advance so I don't forget lol. Anyway, in issue 27 I wrote an RU Theorymon article, and I want to write a UU Theorymon article that'll work the same way. I'm going to talk about Tornadus moving up to OU, Haxorus dropping down...

I want to write an article that discusses similar topics that this thread does, which is basically speculates how a Pokemon and metagame would change if a certain Pokemon changed tiers or if a Pokemon got a certain move or ability. I'm going to be discussing things that actually make sense and...

At a glance Strategy Riolu has access to Roar, Copycat, and the ability Prankster. After I use Roar, I can spam Copycat, which uses the last move used (Roar) and gets +1 priority from Prankster, allowing me to endlessly phaze through opponents who don't have priority and rack up insane...

Let's go. So, RU has no new members this time around. However, RU has lost 4 Pokémon. Nidoqueen has moved up to UU, and Scolipede, Primape, and Munchlax have moved down to NU. Some things to discuss about Nidoqueen: Which Pokémon will rise in usage due to Nidoqueen's departure...

Strategy The whole goal of this team is to sweep with Linoone and/or Gorebyss. Both of them have fabulous set-up moves (Belly Drum and Shell Smash respectively), but both moves are hard to use because it's very easy to die right after using them. That's where the other four come in, as utility...

This is a serious RMT and a serious team. I'm not even trolling you. My win-loss record is 11-27 in Ubers and I have 1201 points on Showdown using only this team. I know that record and points seem very unimpressive at first glance, but I don't think it's that bad, considering I'm using Pokes...

Abilities play a huge role in every metagame. Especially in 5th generation, some (new) abilities have become very powerful, and thus some Pokemon only function well in the current metagame because of their abilities. I would like to discuss 10 Pokemon who would suffer and become nearly unusable...

What are some of the best, stupidest, and most memorable Challenge Cup Pokes and/or teams you've ever gotten? (Random battle doesn't count because rand bats select viable moves, whereas Challenge Cup selects moves from the entire list of moves a Pokemon can possible learn. The best Poke I've...

I can't think of any good name for this team. This team isn't even based on Haunter, although it works really well. This team is more or less standard but works pretty well. Sawk (M) @ Choice Band Trait: Mold Breaker EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP Jolly Nature - Stone Edge - Close Combat - Ice...

Hello! Like the title implies, I want to write an article that mainly teaches people how to do well in Challenge Cup battles. Also, this article could give players an introduction and incentive to try this new, interesting type of battling, which could be a nice change from super competitive...

Obviously, the goal of this team is utilizing Trick Room. This team isn't as hyper-offensive (as in, a few really slow pokes designed to come in and sweep), but it's been working really well for me. I'm kind of surprised at how well this team works in battles. This team is more inclined to...
