    I forgot you haven't played in a while. They're discussing whether to ban Gothitelle, Gothitelle and Gothorita, or Shadow Tag as a whole from OU last I heard. There's a really stupid stall team that's running around abusing Gothitelle, I'll see if I can find more on it.

    Metagame Monday #3: Fun Pokémon to use in VGC/OU

    Breloom was always most fun for me. Your opponent never knows what set it is and what you're going to do with it, so it's pretty easy to just roll right over them with some good play. Also if you use breloom you have a free win against user: Pride Also i like Jirachi a lot too. Moreso in the...

    Metagame Monday #2: What Metagame are You Playing & Why?

    UU is my main tier, and it has been for a couple of years now. I just enjoy it better than the OU metagame. To be clear, I don't think UU is "better" or "more balanced" or anything, I just find it to be more enjoyable. It might be because a lot of my favorite pokemon are in the tier, or it might...

    Theorymon Thursday #2: Delphox in OU

    Delphox: Fire/Psychic New Ability: Regenerator New move: Baton Pass So uh, I honestly immediately thought of Magic Guard but scattered mind stole it lol. Regenerator is the next best thing, you would take damage still from Stealth Rock and Spikes, but at least you'd be able to heal some of that...

    Theorymon Thursday #1: Jolteon in OU

    New Ability: Technician New Move: Water Pulse Technician would be a cool move for Jolteon because it would significantly boost its offensive presence. Thunderbolt and Volt Switch could still be used but Hidden Power would pack a decent punch, and with HP Grass or Ice you'd probably deal a...

    Molly on the Shore "We Livin'" ~D1, smash commentator Hey guys! I am FINALLY back. Finally. For those of you who don't know me, I'm One Approved, and I've been enamored by the competitive side of the VG ever since DPP, and I am PB's resident UU player. It's been WAY too long since I've written...

    Metagame Monday #1: Underrated and Overrated Pokemon

    Well I'll start off with an underrated pokemon instead. I think Mega Sharpedo is quite viable in the OU metagame. The problem with it is that it really only works on very specific types of teams, centered around getting the Sharpedo sweep, so there's definitely a legitimate reason you don't see...

    Why play Pokemon?

    For me, the competitive aspect of pokemon is definitely part of it - I enjoy strategy games, and Pokemon fits that bill perfectly. You get to think turns ahead, come up with a win condition, exploit weaknesses/play to your own strengths, etc. just like you would in any other strategy game...

    OU: Strategy Not Using Hazard Remover in Teambuilding

    Well first off, I definitely do not always use a Rapid Spin or Defog user on my team. I usually find I end up with *some* way of dealing with hazards (read as: magic bounce, taunt, or rapid spin/defog, etc) but that's usually just because one of those pokemon happens to find their way onto my...

    Team Preview

    Effectively using team preview is one of the most important skills a battler can have, I think. When the battle starts, I always take my sweet time looking at my opponent's team. Not only am I trying to figure out what they will lead against me/what they expect me to lead with, I'm also looking...

    The ORAS OU Metagame Discussion Thread

    Eh. I dunno. Its lackluster speed has made it pretty manageable for most of the teams I have. Pretty much anything with even the slightest possibility of running u-turn is an immediate threat that forces it out. It gets kills, no doubt, but I'm usually able to sacrifice something I'm sure I...

    Discussion Most Broken Pokemon Cards

    Shaymin definitely isn't a broken card in my opinion, but I might be biased since I've played the game for 8 years now. When I first started, the Uxie from Legends Awakened did the same exact thing - except it drew until 7 cards in hand, it wasn't an EX, and its attack for 1 energy let it bail...

    One Approved's Season!! BEACHED WHALES TOURNAMENT REPORT!

    Metal. We were able to get away with it at nationals because a lot of lists played 2 or less stadiums, while we played 2 labs and dowsing machine, which meant we would win the stadium war. We could also potentially bait them into counterstadiuming the rough seas with surprise on our side...

    One Approved's Season!! BEACHED WHALES TOURNAMENT REPORT!

    VirGen is actually (to the surprise of everyone it seems) a positive matchup for whales. If wailord has a hard charm on it, it actually can't be ohko'd by megalo cannon lest they have multiple delays in play, while Suicune has safeguard. Basically, you make them G-booster 6 times to take all 6...
