This weekend in Smogon Tournaments
in OU Spring Seasonal
The only OU tournament matches this weekend happened in loser's round 7 of the spring seasonal, the round of 48, meaning winners would advance to top 32 and loser's would finish a respectable 33rd place. For fun, here are all the games...
Not going to really contest the decisions because I just joined for fun but it is shitty that after missing my time by an hour my opponent then ignored me for the next 8 days despite multiple opportunities to play...
And opponent two just totally disappeared 30 minutes after a vague "you...

Bulky ribombee is a nice touch I'd probably forfeit if I hit all 3 triple axel hits and still didn't kill + got paralyzed or moonblasted.
Nice team
Yo, crazy team you have here!
Building hyper offense around a slow pokemon is pretty unorthodox and I wonder if you might be better off going with more bulky offense or switching up your HO to something like trick room.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
You have a fun team here with strong and unusual pokemon so I am not going to change them too much, just make it more effective.
:Ursaluna: For Ursaluna, shadow claw actually doesn't even hit as hard as Headlong Rush because of STAB so I would recommend dropping...
Absolutely, that is why I put it in my threats section if you expand that. Generally my tactic is to hit it on the switch with moves like Body Press from Hydrapple or Play Rough from Alomomola, and if I can get toxic spikes up then I can switch around until it dies.
Every year Katmai National Park in Alaska hosts Fat Bear Week, a competition celebrating the success of the park's fat bears as they reach maximum size before hibernating for winter. In this RMT I will showcase the fattest bear around SV OU in honor of my joining the RMT team.

Good morning gamer and welcome to the forums!
Your team is neat and clean, no nonsense with some solid pokemon. Since it's your first team I will suggest only a few changes that will make it more effective while not changing it too too much so it's still familiar to you.

Re: this thread in PR
I thought it might be interesting to take a look at BW tiering history and imagine what it would look like if we strictly adhered to policy standards. Or think of it as an alternate history where bw came out today. Feel free to skip to stuff we're discussing now as this is...
