Like cheese. Certain alcoholic beverages. And my infamous(?) Pokemon skills. After completely forgetting about Pokemon for the better of two years, I was suckered back in by the B/W metagame. Without further ado, here is what I've been working with. These are they. They, being my...

Hey, it's skiddle here. Most of you probably don't know me, and if that's the case, I'm lucky. However, my lack of "social status" on Smogon doesn't make the message I have prepared any less important. Kind of tl;dr, but I'm sure you can manage. The last few weeks it finally dawned on me how...

I've never been one to use offensive teams. If I don't have an answer for my opponent's sweeper, I freak out and make stupid mistakes. IPL challenged me to make a team with no recovery at all, not even leftovers, with six sweepers. Hopefully by laddering with this I'll be more comfortable in the...

In a world, where no one is safe one man, stands up and faces fear against all odds some prestigious company presents THE SUPER COOL TEAM the epic struggle of man against society PLOT SYNOPSIS *spoilers* *I would like to remove the middle three members of this team: Starmie, Magmortar...

Face it. Being walled is annoying. Nothing is more frustrating than your sweeper being stopped cold, forced to switch out and give your opponent an advantage. In GSC, Advance, and early D/P, a lot of players had problems with walls. To solve this problem, the mixed sweeper was born. It sounds...

I have no idea what I am doing with my life College sucks pretty bad, I don't know what to do. I hate it, a lot. The only reason I haven't given up on it already is because my parents guilt me by saying how much money they spent on me. I only went because I wanted to impress them with my...

Seriously, like the best graphic novel ever. Go out and read it. I won't spoil the plot of the novel, but I am posting the movie trailer and some cool pictures here to pique interest. It's basically a part mystery, part superhero story. It's done very well. It will easily become one of your...

Usually when people think "physical tank" they think Gliscor, Hippowdon, Skarmory... stuff like that. But in Platinum, new upgrades to physical sweepers like Scizor and Lucario make these pokemon pretty useless as far as physical walling goes. Here is why. Gliscor Defenses: 75/125/75 Useful...

Well I'm busy testing a whole bunch of sets, seeing if they are any good, and I was brainstorming about Magmortar... what could you do to make it better than Heatran? Here is my result. Read on! Weavile (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spd/4 SDef Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk) -...

This team has deviated far from the original plan. In the first iteration, I concentrated on trying to screw up Blissey so that I could sweep with Sub Calm Mind Alakazam, who I was testing at the time for my peer edit... but one by one I noticed weaknesses and now it is less coherent. The team...

Latest Problem Sleuth update: 10/31/09 Hey everyone, I just wasted a huge portion of my evening checking out "MS Paint Adventure." Basically, it's this website where Andrew Hussie, the creator of the comic, makes up a ridiculous situation. The readers of the comic suggest what happens next, and...

Yeah, I dunno, I am confused now that Deoxys-E is gone. How fast should I make my Scarfers? How fast should I make my Agility users? Deoxys-E really raised the bar on Speed. Firstly, I don't think Scarfgar needs to be Timid anymore, as Modest + Scarf still hits 478 speed, which is more than...

I am so tired of Shoddy OU right now. It's almost always the same old thing. Deoxys-E. Scizor. Skymin. Heatran. Zapdos. Suicune. That's pretty much every team right there. Platinum sucks, and I hate it. So I am returning to the only place where I can avoid these new annoyances. Wifi. And it's...

Well, after a lot of grumbling about how the UU metagame was turning out, I quit. After seeing last months "less centralized" statistics, I decided to go back and give it another try. I was pleasantly surprised. All my old favourites work pretty well with only a few minor tweaks. And Victreebel...

It's no secret Crawdaunt is one of my favourite pokemon. The current analysis is better than most UU analysis are but there are still a few problems. The first and biggest problem is the speed EVs. 188 speed EVs does not make Crawdaunt outrun no speed base 80s. In fact, it underspeeds them by...
