With a day off from being sick, I decided to take advantage of the relatively low ladder scores and climb in the rankings a bit, and after a very boring time I finally reached top 10 with my Alt, DAVE333. This current version has gone through a very twisty road that started as heavy offensive...

I recommend changing steelix to this passho berry version that Legacy Raider used on his UU team. Steelix @ Passho Berry Sturdy Careful (+SpD, -SpA) 252 Atk / 252 SpD / 4 Spe ~ Stealth Rock ~ Gyro Ball ~ Earthquake ~ Explosion Gyarados is stopped cold by bulky waters (Heatran helps, but Toxic...

No speed on Salamence? I'd recommend try going with bulkymence (248 HP/180 Def/80 Spe, Jolly) with DD, Dragon Claw, Earthquake, and Roost if you are going for a more defensive Salamence.

I've never written a warstory (even though I've had many battles that were probably good enough for a decent one). I was simply on my daily, monotonous laddering routine when I had this battle with wieselburger. By the middle of the match, I was out of ladder autopilot and in the middle of an...

Introduction So after my team ended up looking almost exactly like 2 other posters (except I never thought of the brilliance of spike stacking), I decided to try to update it and do something different. I prefer making teams and experimenting with them, as I get bored battling really fast. My...

Empoleon makes a good lead in today's metagame, but a set isn't on the analysis. Yes, there is the joke one in Trou du Cul, but this one is serious, and works well. [SET] name: Lead move 1: Hydro Pump move 2: Aqua Jet move 3: Stealth Rock move 4: Grass Knot/Ice Beam item: Focus Sash nature...

I took a lot of time off Shoddy because I was bored with school and was overall running out of creativity when it came to teams. But the past few days in summer have been pretty boring...so I decided to make a new team. I don't even remember what this team was before (had something to do with...

Haha my sister and some friends told me I should put down competitive pokemon into my common app, since it is something that I spent some time on, and am somewhat "good" at. On one hand, it is definitely quite amusing and could give admission officers a good laugh. Theoretically, I could twist...

Today, Rafael Nadal, the King of Clay, lost at his home turf at the French Open to Robert Soderling. I was completely shocked when I found this out. I think this might be one of the biggest upsets in sports history. I suppose Giants>Patriots in 07 was pretty big though. But I think Nadal's...

I think we all need to share all the things we see that are funny. I'll start off a bit:

It has been a few frustrating weeks for me in OU. After I got bored with my previously successful team at the end of January, I went back into Ubers and tried out nUU and spent most of my time there. When I got back to OU, there were some subtle changes that made my team much less effectively...

This is a long read but you probably don't need to read the entire thing to get a grasp on the team. After my older nUU team was kinda sucking, I all but trashed it, and decided to think about something I could really abuse in nUU; Spikes. Spikes are pretty beastly in nUU, and especially...

Oh, no one killed this thread yet. I finished it, so it is all cool now. Alright, so I really wanted to get into new UU, but didn't have too much time to make a team. So I simply slapped together a few pokemon that had a bit of "synergy", and put them together. The results were quite good; I...

Roll Call! 20 on the leaderboard at 1583 Anyway, this team sort of blossomed from my last team, and I revamped it a bit and found out this worked really well. And I just played, and played, and played, and found myself not losing. I beat quite a handful of top players, including...

Alright, so after getting my grades up, I decided to go back to Shoddy. I needed to make a good team fast, so I just decided to go with a completely unoriginal idea; dual screens and bulky pokemons. J/k bout the title too; I'm always analyzing my team and thinking about various threats...

Right now, I'd like some advice on SR and this team. Most people who have rated have recommended it, but I'm not sure what to replace or change. This is a team I had been working on for a few weeks prior to Thanksgiving, and then peaked in the high 1500s sometime during the Thanksgiving break...

I couldn't think of a really good name, but I realized I often win matches by wittling down the oppostion to one, choiced pokemon, and forcing it into an impossible situation to win (ie heatran+salamence vs. choice mamo-Does it earthquake my heatran then lose to Salamence, or Ice Shard Salamence...

EDIT: I've made some big changes, the team is now Darkrai, Dialga, Garchomp, Lugia, Latias and Jirachi I decided with the advent of Pokemon Platinum, I would get into ubers for the first time. I decided to go for a fairly bulky team that could take hits and slowly wither down the opposition...

I was actually making this team before Platinum was utilized, and have made only one change to Salamence, taking advantage of his shiny new toy, Outrage. Otherwise, this team would be fine for pre-Platinum play. This team has gone 12-2, however, I imagine a lot of people are just throwing new...
