So it's increasingly common knowledge now but I'm reliably informed that there has been a change to the mechanics of the move 'Facade.' Word is that when under the Burn condition and using Facade, the negative attack modifier no longer applies. A burnt Pokemon using Facade attacks with a 140BP...

so me and the gf got a placement in China where we'll be teaching english to chinese kiddies. all going well, we'll be in Beijing for a few weeks from the 21st August and then moving onto the Hunan province for 5 months. it's kinda open-ended after that but we're looking to travel around Asia...

i'm coming to manchester on the 22nd september for a whisky festival (all-you-can-drink whisky of the highest quality for only 25 quid) - last time I ended up in hospital so this time i plan to surround myself with sensible smogoners who can make sure i behave :heart: thinking afterwards we can...

Shubarugo [Overview] <p>Sporting a huge Attack stat, good defenses and the ever-useful Bug/Steel-typing, one would be forgiven for expecting great things from this guy. Unfortunately, its pitiful movepool and abysmal speed will likely condemn it to life in the shadow of its fellow Bug/Steel...

Kurimugan -------------------------- [Overview] Poor speed and limited movepool means Kurimugan will probably see nowhere near as much use as some of his Dragon bretheren. Holds the title of slowest fully-evolved Dragon which can be turned to his advantage when used in Trick Room teams...

(I realise there is a thread about Trick Room already but this is not a discussion strictly about the move, but about the playstyle in general. Besides, I'm a mod :pimp:) note: that's the 4th gen description and I believe the mechanics have remained unchanged going into the fifth gen. There...

Genosect -------------------------------------------- [Overview] 120 Base Atk and SpA paired with Download and excellent coverage make for an insanely powerful and unpredictable sweeper. Bug/Steel typing grants 9 resistances and an immunity which include an immunity to Sandstorm, Poison...

A set I've been meaning to post for a while and will finally do so now that Rolf has nudged me into it. See this post for some extending reading on the set basics - http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2882218&postcount=775 [SET] name: It's a Trap! move 1: Block move 2: Yawn...

Time for a new one I reckon. Same rules as always. Go! The old threads can be found here, for convenience http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19353 (Original) http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21387 (Mark 2) http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23011 (Mark 3)...

The same rules apply here as in the other Creative Moveset thread but note that any and all movesets posted in this thread must be for use in the UU metagame, regardless of the tier of the Pokemon in question. If you wish to post a set for use in any other tier please use the relevant thread in...

I used this set quite a bit a few months back but I'm not sure quite how effective it will be now that Shaymin and Crobat dominate. Still, I found it to be a very effective set so I'll throw it out so you guys can give your opinion. I haven't played UU since February so if it's completely...

Sorry for taking so long on this, my internet connection was down for most of last month and I've been in and out of hospital for the past few weeks, but here's what I've got thus far. My first update so be as critical as you need to be. My additions are in red...iKitsune helped out with a few...

By which of course, I'm referring to emotions. tl;dr life story coming up. For the past few years I've been suffering from a severe case of emotional constipation and just recently things have all came to a head and I feel I really need to get it off my chest lest I end up exploding in a fit...

I've been using this team for a few months now, so I guess now's as good a time as any to retire it and try something new. It started out as just a fun team (it even used to have Flareon!) but I was enjoying myself so much that I started to sail up the ladder and eventually decided I may as well...

Earlier in DP, Choice Specs Lucario was a great special sweeper, easily smashing through all of the walls that DP had to offer. His great resistances and ability to shrug off most forms of passive damage offered many switch-ins and from there his raw power and great coverage caused real problems...

Only one active RMT at a time please. You just posted one a few days ago. I'm also somewhat inclined to think you're trolling when you list HP Electric Shuckle as a Gyara counter...

Please limit your RMT to six Pokemon.

I believe that such an idea has been proposed in the past, but was overlooked. I'm not looking for this to be implemented, but I'd like to hear some opinions on it. As it stands, the metagame is over-run by 600BST behemoths, who generally sport excellent stats, typing and movepool. A lot of...

I've received a lot of positive comments from some great players about this team, so I'd like to share it. I've always loved Marowak; I remember back in Pokemon Blue when I had a Marowak that knew Bone Club/Bonemerang/Earthquake/Blizzard. Rubbish moveset, but he was awesome nonetheless. This...
