I originally posted a threat saying to ban reflect, but right after I did that I saw thread on Pokemon Perfect talking about removing mechanical sleep clause in order to be closer to cartridge mechanics which got me thinking about how to fix RBY's current issues. RBY currently has two massive...

Decided to do this because I was bored and thought it might spark some life into these forums. I'm not using the OU and UU tiers, because those signify usage, whereas I'm only concerned with viability. These are just my opinion, and note that it factors wrap. These tiers aren't designed to be...

We all know GSC is the stalliest meta and is the least played one. We all know that part of the reason why GSC is more stally is due to the omnipresence of leftovers. I'm sure it's been suggested a million times, but why not remove the item clause. I honestly cannot think of an argument against...

I'm only good at using aggressive teams that can hit hard benefitting heavily off double switches, predicting switch ins etc. I'm new to GSC and pretty bad at it and don't know how to build teams yet, so please help me out here. Nidoking@Leftovers Lovely Kiss Earthquake Thunder Ice Beam...

I want to use gengar, mostly because I think it's cool and it walls stuff like wrap and random niche threats like persian that you might run into every now and then on the ladder. It also has huge playmaking potential that's based more on ballsy predictions than evaluations, which seems to...

Just to clarify, this means how good they are in the lead position, not how good a pokemon that can lead happens to be in general. This is just my list, but feel free to post your own, or tell me what you think is wrong with mine. Note that the pokemon aren't ranked in order within a tier. S...

I was wondering if this is a good idea, seeing as the current tiers are based on usage. Usage isn't really a good idea anymore because the community is so small and a lot of those usage statistics consist of low-level newcomers. I hate to say it again, but the emergence of wrap on the main...

I've always wanted to do a warstory so here it is. I picked this battle because I felt I played well and didn't really get any hax, and Jorgen is a good player. Dre Alakazam Chansey Victreebell Cloyster Rhydon Dragonite Jorgen Alakazam Chansey Exeggutor Lapras Snorlax Tauros Battle between...

It was mentioned in the Showdown thread that there might be a discussion about what clauses would be enabled when the RBY ladder finally gets set up, as there are currently no clauses. So this thread is to basically get that started. The two main contentious ones are sleep and freeze clauses...

Sorry to make a thread about this, but I was having trouble finding a list on the net. So if someone could list them, that would be pretty helpful.

I don't mean stall, I just mean a team that has a solid counter to every genuine threat. Here's what I consider the main threats- Slowbro Reflect chansey/alakazam Reflect snorlax Amnesia snorlax Dragonite Wrap Switch in to rhydon Switch in to snorlax Switch in to tauros Taking sleep That's all...

Basically just looking for ideas on a challenging RBY nuzlocke. I find standard nuzlockes too easy because they don't keep your levelling in check. I'm basically looking for ideas that restrict my levelling, but still keep it fun. Thanks in advance.

Exeggutor Sleep Powder Stun Spore Psychic Explosion He's there really to take sleep. Sleeping something as well is a bonus. I usually blow him up on chansey if I sleep their eggy. I was thinking of dropping psychic for DE to hit specials, but I normally switch out against them anyway...

[Edit by Hipmonlee] - moved to RoA from http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3467896 I don't see how stoss is better than reflect to be honest. Reflectzam can beat golem/rhydon, tauros, zapdos, any lax set without amnesia and probably any other physical attacker except maybe persian...

Hey sorry I'm new so if this wasn't the right section to start this forum I'm sorry but I am clueless as to how this site works. I have a few pokemon games, but have never battled competitvely and I'd like to, but I don't know how you guys battle. I know about Shoddybattle, so you must battle on...
