Despite its low stats, Ledian is one of the best, if not the best, Baton Passers in this tier. It gets access to Agility, Barrier, Curse, Light Screen and Reflect; it sits at a decent speed tier, speed tying Stantler; and it has good Special Defensive bulk. [SET] Full Baton Passer Baton Pass...

[OVERVIEW] Arbok is one of two bulky Poison-type Pokemon that can check Fighting and Poison-types and stop set-up with Haze. Arbok's direct competition, Weezing, is bulkier and can explode, which sometimes leaves Arbok overlooked. However, Arbok has better speed, access to Earthquake and can...

[Overview] Tangela has amazing Defense, good typing and instant recovery. It's able to cripple opponents with Sleep Powder and Stun Spore, and does respectable damage with its great Special Attack. All of which allows it to check some of the biggest threats in NU, including one of the scariest...

[OVERVIEW] Gyarados is one of the best tanks and wallbreakers in UU. Thanks to its well-rounded stats and strong movepool, Gyarados can easily survive most attacks and immediately threaten back with either a Body Slam paralysis or a powerful attack of its own. Gyarados' attacks can cut through...

This was QCed by Reece Hughes outside of the forum before posting this. [OVERVIEW] Magnemite may not seem like a good choice at first glance, due to its fragility, shallow movepool and low speed. However, Magnemite makes up for its shortcomings by being the only Steel-type in the tier, having a...

With RoA Olympics and RBYPL, we've had several chances to really try out the tier. I don't think anything new came out of these tours (though correct me if I'm wrong) which also means that the meta is more or less settled and stable. With that in mind, we have to think about of there is anything...
