Clear Skies Weather was, put bluntly, a pretty big deal last generation and it can be argued that the way weather mechanics worked caused a good chunk of bans to occur. Similarly, rain, sand, and even sun wrapped the metagame around themselves, making some otherwise mediocre Pokemon (Venusaur...

[Overview] <p>Lickilicky is not your standard pink blob. Unlike its support-based brethren, Lickilicky is looking for OHKOs—not stall. Lickilicky's unassuming face masks an Explosion rivaled in Base Power only by Genesect with an Attack boost from Download. Like most Normal-types, Lickilicky's...

Approved by Earthworm and format borrowed from Jellicent's Shaking Up RU The BW Ubers Doubles Tournament - Finals In spite of the fact that double battles have long been playable since the release of Pokemon Online, an official metagame has never really taken form. This tournament aims to...

With the recent rise in popularity of the Other Metagames subforum, I always thought it would be really neat if we could have a rotating, ladderable metagame on PS!; if the metagame was sufficiently played (the definition of sufficient will be found later on, I guess) in the arbitrary time...

[Overview] <p>A few strange gimmick Pokemon have been made by Game Freak over the course of five generations of Pokemon: Castform was meant to showcase then-new weather moves and abilities, Unown was made to furnish the Ruins of Alph and create a mildly inconvenient form of code writing...

Why has there never been a real doubles metagame? Although I realize that VGC does take that role in part, 6v6, lv 100 (min speed abomasnow always gets up hail last without iron ball!!!) doubles is totally unexplored. Frankly, it's sad to see such an interesting aspect of the game - if not such...

Prologue: Week before last, I get sick on Wednesday. This continues into the next week; I start to get better on Friday but during that time I get worried that I'll be too sick to attend. During this time, I start thinking about my team seriously for the first time. After some pretty awful runs...

[Overview] <p>Cacturne is a Pokemon riddled with several great strengths and equally debilitating weaknesses. First and foremost, it is one of the few Pokemon in NU able to use Spikes, which gives it a high inherent value. Additionally, Cacturne is blessed with Sucker Punch, high base 115...

Whenever one looks up any move that Arceus learns in the dex, the learnlist is cluttered with all 17 types. Would it be possible to only list Arceus-Normal as a learner? This is what I mean for reference: http://www.smogon.com/bw/moves/earth_power http://www.smogon.com/bw/moves/extremespeed

[Overview] <p>With the BW buff to Storm Drain, Game Freak threw a veritable lifesaver to its two original recipients, Gastrodon and Lumineon. While Gastrodon slowly climbed up from the bottom of the barrel, Lumineon, characterized by a barren movepool, mediocre bulk, average Speed, and...

[Overview] <p>Wormadam is one of the many forgotten Pokemon that reside in NU. Any natural bulk it might have had as a result of its passable defenses is neutered by its poor HP; Wormadam's other stats range from mediocre to awful. Additionally, its typing does it few favors, granting it an...

[Overview] <p>Although Machoke lacks the wonder of Drain Punch that Gurdurr holds, it has access to its own STAB move of choice - DynamicPunch - which has an interesting secondary effect - forced confusion. This gives Machoke, which already possesses high Attack and a Defense that is made quite...
