Rip smashpass I agree with prof palutena. Seems like a very unnecessary nerf to an already complicated ban. Was there a specific strategy or Pokemon that pushed this over the top?

Beached Whales - A 2015 US Nationals Report So there I was, sitting at home on a quiet June evening, when suddenly, my good pal Austin texts me a groupchat that I'm in with my other hometown TCG Players - Enrique, Cody, and Alec. The text read as follows: "Breaking news: Brandon and I broke...

Yeah, I can't be too upset. I'm familiar with this crashing/burning feeling - at nats 2012 I went from 5-1 to 5-4 thanks to Dual Ball quad tails and epic prize cards <___<. I know I made the right deck choice for this tournament, it was just a couple of unlucky matchups. (and one dumb play...

>bans landorus-I >not mega metagross smogon logic Really, though, I am happy to see Landorus go. I was spamming the ladder with HO teams involving it and it was pretty apparent to me how stupidly powerful Landorus was. Doesn't take much support at all for him to just cleanly run through a lot...

congrats on mods :]

Congrats on mods n_n

Always always always always riffle shuffle. It's the best means of randomizing a deck. 8 times between every single shuffle might be a tad excessive, I usually only do 2-3 times in the middle of the game. Before the match begins, however, it's completely reasonable. I never present my deck to...

Re-doing a bunch of decks is easy to do. As a pokemon player, we do it every time a new set is released, whenever we have a rotation, or whenever a deck that nobody expects to do well suddenly shoots straight into the limelight (see: Donphan) because of the constantly-changing metagame...

I don't think you understand this bullet point completely. One deck's viability is absolutely no reason to determine whether or not to ban a card. I could argue that Quad Bidoof isn't a viable deck in this format, and that it will need to re-use resources to KO an EX pokemon. The point of this...

Regional Championships: Madison, Wisconsin Hiya. I just got back from a disappointing and yet exciting regional championships in Madison, and I'm excited to share what all went on n_n. Pre-Tournament So about a week before the tournament, I was talking to my homeboy Jeffrey Cheng, and he was...

I'm scum of the earth, what did you think would happen? n_n In all honesty, it was great to see you again, and I'm really happy that you managed to almost cut with something other than Seismitoad. Steel was an undercover good play I think.

^confirming. GGs and good luck

Hey I'm online if you're still here. Sorry, I didn't see anything when I checked on forums so I thought you weren't gonna make it. I'll be here til 7:30

The calm nature is used on the specially defensive Heatran set. Because that set is based around being very bulky and being able to survive longer, it's in your favor to run lava plume because: ~It has more PP, for longer, more drawn out games ~Calm nature makes you less powerful than Modest...

I agree with Chaos Jackal. If letting in physical attackers (ie: Tyranitar) then I'd rather see counters to those pokemon being added to the team. (ie: adding Landorus-T or something to counter Tyranitar.) Running Lava Plume only solves the problem 30% of the time assuming they switch directly...

I won in 3 games against SMP 7:37 PM - game 1 8:01 PM - game 2 8:18 PM - game 3 GGs sorry about game 3 :(

Question spitballing off of this. If Mew is the attacker that is using Round, would it count as a pokemon with round attack? Because when Mew uses a benched pokemon's attack, it gains temporary ownership of the attack. (Which is why Mew gets the benefit from Dimensional Valley when using like...

oh. I can't read apparently o.o I'm happy Aegislash reamins gone, I strongly disliked this tier very early in its stages where Aegi was legal. Although, I do wonder what the format would be like if they banned King's Shield instead. I'm not saying it was a good idea, but I'm really curious to...
