Discuss your experiences in the new tier. For me, it's been pretty fun so far. Here's what I've been using: Drifblim @ Mental Herb Ability: Unburden EVs: 252 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Minimize - Swagger - Baton Pass - Substitute Smeargle @ Mental Herb Ability: Moody EVs...

Team I built for a tourney over on Smogon. Thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWlot6h_JM "I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake ~ I shake it off, I shake it off" Taylor (Suicune) @ Leftovers Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA Bold Nature - Scald...

We discussed Shadow Tag a little bit in the Smogon Bans and Suspect Tests thread, but I feel that this is sort of a hot topic these days that deserves its own thread. For those of you who don't know, there's a Gengarite Suspect going on in Ubers right now, but it's also "Shadow Tag Ban Phase 1"...

Bisharp, like its fellow Dark types Absol, Mandibuzz, Crawdaunt, etc, has improved vastly in the generation shift due to the buff to Knock Off and the Steel nerf, and Bisharp’s Ability, Defiant, was indirectly buffed when Defog was buffed. All these boosts were more than enough to push Bisharp...

The competitive Pokémon metagame has changed a lot over the years, with many sets falling out of favor as things like Stealth Rock and permaweather became dominant. The metagame changed once again in the transition to XY, and it's finally settling down (as we prepare for Omega Ruby/Alpha...

As y'all could probably tell from AnybodyAgrees's new RMT, XY NU is now out in its alpha phase! Here is the banlist (subject to change): Abomasnow, Alomomola, Ambipom, Amoonguss, Aromatisse, Azelf, Banette, Braviary, Bronzong, Cinccino, Clawitzer, Claydol, Cobalion, Cofagrigus, Cresselia...

Welcome to the BBL Hall of Fame, where we recognize BBL Champions and the teams they beat the Elite 4 with. This is a good place for new players to look to get ideas for their own teams or for Pokémon they might want to try out. Pleaser note that while asking questions to our Champions about why...

Hi all! As a couple of you may know, the BBL has a brand new baby YouTube channel. One of the segments we'll be doing is Pokémon Showdown Live, hosted by yours truly. Unlike most PS! series, though, our primary goal is not for me to ladder to the top. I will be trying that, but our primary...

Author's Note Boring and Skippable Rant i wanna be the very best like no one ever was Prologue: Début “Don’t you see? I’m the narrator and this is just the prologue.” Lumiose City, Kalos Jean-Claude Legrand was ten. Well, ten and three quarters, as he’d tell anyone who...

Yo guys, I started playing UU Beta on Showdown a couple days back and thought I'd share my team and open it up for criticism since my record (while not bad) isn't the best. I'm a Sandstorm virgin, but my home weather, Sun, was hit with the OU Hammer a while back so if you guys more experienced...

As you can probably tell there was some slight schedule slippage between #2 and #3, so I'm not really sure if we're doing these analyses on Thursdays or Saturdays at this point! :P Regardless, here's the fourth Pokémon of the Week discussion brought to you by the Bulbagarden Battle League...

The Bulbagarden Battle League was designed for two reasons: to give competitive battlers a fun challenge, and more importantly, as a gateway into competitive battling for new players and casuals alike. The Gym Leaders use competitive teams and strategies while encouraging challengers to think of...

Looking for a Weak Armor Onix holding Metal Coat or a Sheer Force Steelix with Brave or Sassy nature and 31 IVs in HP, Attack, Defense, and Special Defense (31/31/31/x/31/x). Bonus points if the Speed is 0, but not necessary at all - if it is, I'll stick PokeRus on the mon and give it an item of...

Looking for Corphish or Crawdaunt with Adaptability. Hidden Ability Crawdaunt can be found in some Dark-type Friend Safaris. Any with IVs (fresh-caught should have at least 2), Adamant Nature, or the egg move Aqua Jet are preferable as they will save me some time breeding. Thanks! Offering...

Apotheosis They said the world would end on December 21st, 2012. They were right. They just didn't realize it would be a delayed reaction. 12/21/12 was the birth date of Patient Zero. He was born in Kentucky. We don't really remember his name anymore. Just what he could do. Lift cars...

banjo2E RuBoo Spymodio ((OOC: Important words, phrases, etc. will be in bold. Check the bottom of each post to see an Explorer's Journal that keeps you up to date on happenings.)) Graph Paper was starting to get worried. The disappearances were getting more and more frequent. Ponies...

Hello everybody! I was sitting at my computer one day, taking a foray into the forums. Not these forums. Different forums. But that's entirely irrelevant. :P So anyway, I was randomly inspired to try and create a Multithread RP. What is this, you ask? Well, it's sort of like the large scale...
