Hello all, It's been a while since I've posted anything on the forums, and I thought this would be a good place to get myself started again. This team has been one I've been tweaking ever since the No Holds Barred format was announced, and I think I've hit the point where I can talk fairly...

Okay, so I wanted a team that focused on spread moves and used the best heavy hitters for each of the best spread moves. I started with the best Explosion. Due to the new Explosion rules, many people underestimate just how powerful Explosion remains. As such, I looked at the most powerful STAB...

[Overview] <p>With respectable bulk and good abilities in Hydration and Water Absorb, Lapras can be a potent threat in the VGC 2012 metagame. A low base 60 Speed makes Lapras a good candidate for Trick Room teams, and it is able to work well in different weather conditions. While it does have...

This team focuses on using the team preview to determine which strategy I want to go for. This is overall a Trick Room team, however, I'll use Abomasnow to shut down weather teams. Cresselia @ Mental Herb Ability: Levitate Nature: Sassy EV's: 252 HP / 64 Def / 192 SpD IV's: 0 Spe -Trick Room...

Okay, I have wanted to make a rain based VGC team to try to get back into the metagame since my TR team. Since this would be rain I had to start out with the king of rain. Then came my next 'mon. I found a strategy of using absorb bulb on a Pokemon that resists water-type attacks. Ludicolo...

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I thought this was a cool idea. The idea was to make a Smogon University tee-shirt that people could buy. I started designing this, and despite it's simplistic design, I think it works nicely. Tell me what you think of the design and the shirt idea.

Heatran [SET] name: Choice Band move 1: Earthquake move 2: Rock Slide move 3: Superpower move 4: Crunch item: Choice Band nature: Adamant evs: 212 HP / 212 Atk / 20 Def Why this set deserves to be on-site: Hippopotas usually receives first turn taunts Earthquake + Rock Slide provides a pseudo...

I've played stall before, but it was back before the ban of drizzle + swift swim. At that point, I ran a stall team that worked the opponent down so I could beat people down with Kingdra. Now I've decided to go back to stall with this team. The Drizzler Politoed @ Leftovers Ev's: 252 HP /...

[Overview] <p>Persian is largely overlooked thanks to Pokemon such as Ambipom that are more powerful physical attackers. However, despite its lackluster offensive stats (65/70), Persian has the amazing ability Technician. Persian also is capable of boosting its poor offensive stats with Nasty...

[Overview] With amazing base 165 Attack and an outstanding movepool, one wonders why the beast that is Rampardos fails to even be considered for UU. This, of course, is due to its horrid speed and its terrible defenses. Nevertheless, Rampardos can be threatening with a Choice Scarf attached...

Assuming I didn't misread (again) this analysis should be written by the end of the day.

Breloom [Overview] <p>With no Sleep Clause, and perfect accuracy in the move Spore, Breloom should be a replacement to Amoongus from last year. Breloom does sport some major flaws that Amoongus didn't have, such as poor defenses. However, with a much higher attack stat, Breloom will be well...
