This is the first VGC team I've created. The original focus was Grimmsnarl, but it has sort of evolved into a Tailwind team, with Grimmsnarl there to provide utility that will be mentioned in the summary below. I've tried it out on showdown, and I feel like there are some obvious changes that...

Hi guys, Cobalt here. With a new generation of Pokemon upon us, it would only be a matter of time before I made a competitive OU team to use on showdown. This team stems heavily from what I have available in my boxes on the switch, and is based on two Pokemon I immediately grew attached to. My...

Hello, RMT. This is going to be another VGC team I've tried testing out. I've done significantly more testing with it on both Showdown and Battle Spot than my last team, and it has had a few successes here and there. There are a few matchups, however, that I cannot seem to break through, and I...

Not so Itsy-Bitsy Spider [OVERVIEW] * Water Bubble prevents burns, halves Fire-type moves' damage, and doubles the power of Araquanid's Water-type moves. Put all these together with Water-type STAB, and Araquanid is going to deal serious damage even to Pokémon that resist Liquidation, and its...

So Ghost you can't even see the purple [OVERVIEW] * Arceus-Ghost's typing leaves few Pokemon resistant or immune to its STAB moves, and it can make a big dent to them thanks to the high power of its main STAB move. * Extreme Killer's popularity and the nature of Team Preview make Arceus-Ghost...

+ [OVERVIEW] * Alolan Muk's Poison / Dark typing makes its Knock Off and Poison Jab powerful and terrifying to face and allows it to check many of the Psychic-, Ghost-, and Fairy-types present in the metagame. * Access to both plenty of utility moves and three useful abilities makes Alolan...

[OVERVIEW] * Its Steel / Psychic typing is great both offensively, hitting many of the new Fairy-type threats hard, and defensively, resisting a number of common offensive types in the metagame. * Its good Attack stat and respectable bulk further complement its offensive and defensive...

[OVERVIEW] * 150 / 150 / 150 offenses are no joke, and pack quite a punch against a few threats. * 50 / 50 / 50 bulk, while subpar, is much better than Deoxys-A's bulk, and lets Deoxys survive a few more things. * With proper defensive investment, Solgaleo's Sunsteel Strike is not a guaranteed...

So, I'm bored right now, so I'm trying out a random VGC team I put together. I tested it out a few times, and I definitely think something needs to be switched out or replaced, but I'm not sure what or with what it should be replaced. This RMT is going to be a bit more lazy than most of my...

How's it going, RMT? Cobalt314 is back with yet another Ubers team, this time facing off in a brand new generation. Naturally, I just had to create a brand new Ubers team, as is customary of me after the release of a new set of Pokémon games, so why not take the grace period before the release...

[OVERVIEW] + Unique ability effectively gives it Triple STAB + High Attack give it a good offensive presence + - Lack of recovery outside of leftovers means it's worn down easily - [SET] name: Offensive move 1: Rapid Spin move 2: Power Whip move 3: Gyro Ball/Anchor Shot move 4: Shadow...

[OVERVIEW] * Minior's access to Shell Smash, Acrobatics, and nice offensive stats in Core forme gives rise to a sweeping role. * Immunity to status in Meteor forme helps prevent it from being crippled while setting up. * It has quite a usable coverage movepool at its disposal, which slightly...

[OVERVIEW] * Deoxys-A's offensive stats help ensure its potency in the metagame. * Access to a powerful STAB move and good coverage options allows it to plow through many of the Pokemon that reside in the tier. * Psychic Terrain boosts its viability further and makes it difficult to effectively...

Hey, guys. I'm back with another OU team for analysis. This time, it will incorporate the new Steam Pokémon, Volcanion, along with a few other favorite members of my cast. I put together a team I thought would do rather well initially, but with no real foundation or expectations for the team to...

Well, I am back once again in ΩRAS OU, and I have been experimenting with a Pokémon which has been getting a lot of much-deserved hype: Hoopa Unbound. I have been experimenting with this monster of a Pocket Monster, and I've tried every combination of every OU Pokémon that I have in my PC in...

Here we go again. Overview ######## Overall high stats, including a great defense, a powerful attack, and a speed on par with many of the fastest threats in the metagame. Plenty of coverage and a great movepool increase its unpredictability. Mega Substitute ######## name: Mega Substitute...

Hello again, RMT. Cobalt 100π minus remainder is back with another attempt at creating a semi-decent team that is able to effectively, yet barely, hold its own against the majority of the Ubers metagame. In this RMT thread, I will not go into a detailed account of my team-building process, since...

Approved by Eevee General and unfixable Head Start (originally Oncoming Storm) Credit to Talonflame for the OM title This is the Oncoming Storm (now called Head Start due to possible imminent natural disasters). Possibly seen as a successor to FaSTAB-mon, this metagame attempts to give every...
