I see we're off to a bit of a rocky start this UPL. Already I am observing a phenomenon that could ruin the tournament for everyone. I don't want anyone's enjoyment to be negatively impacted by what I'm seeing, so I have included in this post a PSA to make sure everyone is well-informed. I hope...

I completed my run of Emerald with Linoone / Marill / Skarmory / Xatu / Bellossom / Seviper. I finished the game with Bellossom at 49 (it carried a lot of lategame) and the others at 46-47. My Pokemon had largely average stats save Bellossom which was somewhat blessed (Mild nature, 31 SpA IV)...

Linoone / Marill / Skarmory / Xatu / Bellossom / Seviper sounds like a reasonable enough (lol) lineup. I'll work on this and note the results. Going to do Marill instead of Psyduck so Linoone has some early game backup and we don't have to fight over the Calm Mind TM. I'll figure out how to...

I can do this. Anything else I should use?

I recently completed a run of this game (hadn't played it in awhile) so I figured I'd share a few thoughts on what I used. My team was Tepig/Drilbur/Audino/Druddigon/Ducklett/Sewaddle. Tepig: A-rank is fine. As others have said it has a strong early-game and starts off good mid-game before...

Hi everyone, Starting today I am formally stepping down as a moderator and from all other positions of responsibility on Smogon. In all honesty, I should have done this awhile ago - doubtless some of you have been wondering when I'd finally croak - but, you know, it's a bit tough to finally let...

I missed your PM so as penance I will post some thoughts here. I'm actually not surprised Xatu was so successful given the only Psychic resist in the tier is itself. Thief sets are good at wearing down Raichu/Gatr and its Psychic will punch a hole in anything. The backup check vs Dugtrio and...

Lost to Genesis7, ggs and gl in the rest

I defeated elodin, ggs

I defeated Ren-chon, ggs. Contacting elodin, thanks Earthworm for working with us on the scheduling.

I'm not entirely sure if my match with Ren-chon is happening - we scheduled for 7 PM EST on Monday, I ended up showing up an hour and a half late due to an emergency errand and he had gone to bed at that point. He offered to play today instead but it seems we just missed each other. I'm not...

Earthworm I will need a one-day extension with Ren-chon to accommodate for Thanksgiving this week.

Some misc. thoughts on above posts: I don't think Graveler necessarily has a better Raichu matchup because it gets OHKOed by Surf whereas Sudowoodo can take one, it is better against Surfless Raichus though. The main benefits I see Graveler having are a better Weezing MU (immune to Thunder and...

I won against FriendOfMrGolem120, ggs

Haven't played since the tier shift, first impressions: -Raichu is definitely a top mon, combination of Speed and coverage makes it scary. I personally find it hard not to use RestTalk because its really good at checking itself and its difficult to check it reliably otherwise without using...

You only need Shadow Ball for Phoebe so you can just use both until then, no need to choose.

This was in Emerald yes. I used Sludge Bomb/Thunderbolt/Flamethrower/Explosion (admittedly I gave Shadow Ball to Slaking because I was testing that too - I thought Sableye would be more effective here than it was. There normally isn't that much competition for the Shadow Ball TM so I think...

Excuse the double post, I recently completed another run using Sceptile, Lanturn, Slaking, Sableye, Weezing, and Armaldo. I think most of these are placed appropriately, but I do want to discuss Koffing and Anorith. Koffing: I think Koffing is way better than Grimer and could potentially go up...
