    Project RarelyUsed Teambuilding Competition: week 7: Necrozma (submissions open until April 26th)

    Apologies again for being so late, I have a lot of scattered thoughts to throw out so I'm sure there will be edits. I present to you! "I wasted too much time trying to make Necrozma work" (Eh, basically, I think it can be decent team, but relies a lot on surprises for wins and requires very...

    MachJacob, Enam + scarf Krook is the star combo in my experience.

    Sneaky has graciously allowed me to repost. Shamelessly resubmitting Tricky Stars and Hearts because I'm lazy (and it's unlikely that I'll come up with something more interesting...) :jirachi: :conkeldurr: :rhyperior: :enamorus-therian: :porygon2: :slowbro: Edit: I used my right to edit...

    Didn't have time this week to make a team I was satisfied with. The most successful attempt ended up with the same :muk-alola::empoleon::breloom::salamence: core as Hoops so I figured I might as well stop trying... Voting Hoops again.

    Project SV RU Victim of the Week: Week 4! Nasty Plot Thundurus-Therian!

    Check: Slither :slither wing: Counter: Palossand :Palossand: (Been using Palossand a bit lately, it certainly has it's place, but I find it's a little less consistent than Hippo is as a blanket check because it lacks hazing/phazing)

    Project SV RU Victim of the Week: Week 4! Nasty Plot Thundurus-Therian!

    Not trying to be critical here because I actually really like this set (I consider surprise counters to be generally more useful to bait a tera), but tragically Slither Wing doesn't get Stone Edge. (or any other damaging rock move outside of Rock Tera Blast) First a shaky counter - more like a...

    I usually like to try out some teams before voting, but I've been out of town since Thursday. Going with HoopsspooH (Cause Coba too good)

    This time I present to you... Tricky Stars and Hearts! :sv/Jirachi: :sv/Conkeldurr: :sv/Porygon2: :sv/Enamorus-Therian: :sv/Slowbro: :sv/Rhyperior: https://pokepast.es/fc289b3e240fc40d I'm been on a big trick room kick lately and Jirachi opened up some really nice options. In my...

    It would seem not using U-turn was a bridge too far... haha As I see Sneaky is also a fellow Stun Spore enthusiast (and I know from experience it's at least situationally good), it leaves me no choice! Voting for Sneakyplanner

    Project RarelyUsed Teambuilding Competition: week 7: Necrozma (submissions open until April 26th)

    If Ming can do it, then I guess I can too! I tried kind of hard (for me at least) to make a TR team with Slither Wing work. It didn't. So basically I gutted the TR part and added a dash of paralysis control with a bunch of priority. That also didn't work. And then I basically autolost to...

    Metagame SV RU Metagame Discussion (April Shifts, see post #191)

    First off, thank you for the Hoopa-U ban! Secondly, I know a lot of the RU player base has been begging/asking (whining maybe?) for faster council action and QB or accelerated suspects (and I had initially been somewhat part of the group), but I suddenly feel like the tier is in a much better...

    Metagame SV RU Metagame Discussion (April Shifts, see post #191)

    I'm not sure where the line on quick bans falls, but maybe some of the most notorious threats will actually be harder to get in without Slowking offering so many chances. Maybe Thundy-T and Leaves aren't quite as good now? Still very much on side in favor of :iron leaves: , :zarude: , and...

    Data Usage-Based Tier Update for March 2024

    I mean... it is gamefreak we're talking about here. I agree it's crazy, but perhaps we just need to change the way tiering works? (or at least more tiers? idk) It's not like gamefreak is going to stop. Well, from an RU perspective: Gapdos, Hippo, Kleavor, Cobalion, Thundy-T, Gengar, Zarude...
