[OVERVIEW] Rotom-H's combination of typing, utility, and offensive prowess has made it one of the most applicable Pokemon in OU. Its great defensive typing and STAB combination allow it to check prominent Pokemon such as Clefable, Corviknight, and Aegislash. Levitate is an incredibly useful...

https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/changing-the-current-analysis-format-second-attempt.3642146/ For some reason, Leo is a stupid idiot poop face and didn't make a thread on something so important but this is why I exist, to pick up the slack of the tyranny brought on by C&C dictator Leo. I...

[OVERVIEW] Diggersby isn't necessarily a bad wallbreaker; in fact, it's actually quite difficult to switch into. Its main issue, however, is that it faces immense competition from other wallbreakers such as Mega Medicham, Mega Mawile, and even Hoopa-U. Diggersby's below average Speed stat and...

[OVERVIEW] Breloom is essentially a worse Kartana in almost every way. As an offensive Grass-type, it struggles to break through Pokemon that Kartana would have no issue with, such as Tangrowth, Clefable, Gliscor, and Tornadus-T. Breloom is slower than most of the metagame, forcing it to rely on...

ULTRA SUMO is finally here, and while it hasn't brought nearly as many changes as ORAS or a new generation, it's still going to shake the meta with the new changes. Here you can discuss all aspects of the current metagame, such as your overall thoughts on it, viable or underrated sets, meta...

*Picture stolen from RU version* With ULTRA SUMO about a week away from release, I think it's time to start talking about what OU might look like with all the new move tutors, Ultra Beasts, level up moves, egg moves, etc. The moderation on this thread will be generally relaxed, but here are...

I cucked Leo chofl [OVERVIEW] Mega Diancie's strong offensive capabilities and above average Speed stat make it a top-tier pick in the OU metagame. Its Rock / Fairy typing along with good coverage options in Earth Power, Psychic, and Nature Power make it very difficult to switch into reliably...
