GSC lower tiers are mostly settled down currently when it comes to team tours, with the exception of UU obviously, and UPL signups are arriving soon, so I figured it was about time to post this. GSC Slam has begun, and it’s revived a thought in my mind, one that’s I’ve been having for a long...

[SET] name: Dual Screens move 1: Thunder Wave move 2: Reflect move 3: Light Screen move 4: Fire Blast / Surf item: Leftovers [SET COMMENTS] Dragonair stands out as the best dedicated dual screens setter in the tier, starting off the game by paralyzing opposing Pokemon with Thunder Wave and...

THE COMPREHENSIVE GSC NEVERUSED GUIDE: REMASTERED Hi, I'm Bee, and I've been playing this tier for a good while now. The old GSC NU guide by dawnbuster has been getting a bit outdated as many metagame changes have happened since in 2022, 2023, and so far in 2024, so I wanted to take upon...

In the generation 2 teambuilder, if you have hidden power on a pokemon, and you removed it for a non-hidden power move, it doesn't automatically reset the DVs on the pokemon to max like it does for future generations, often resulting in the player missing the reduced dvs and playing at an...

[SET] name: RestTalk move 1: Curse move 2: Return move 3: Rest move 4: Sleep Talk item: Leftovers [SET COMMENTS] Dunsparce's good stats make it an individually solid Pokemon, but despite this, it is almost never worth using. Dunsparce serves the same role as Wigglytuff, yet it is wholly...

[SET] name: Reflect move 1: Double-Edge move 2: Reflect move 3: Rest move 4: Sleep Talk item: Leftovers [SET COMMENTS] Although it's generally worse than Fearow, Pidgeot has the unique niche of being one of the best long-term answers to RestTalk Stantler and Dugtrio, giving it a strong place...

(approved by etern) Hello and welcome to a developmental and for-fun testing tournament, GSC NU + Vileplume! GSC NU has been a very stable tier these past few years, however ever since last year (as seen with this thread) there has been interest in testing out Vileplume, as it is currently an...

[OVERVIEW] Houndour has one purpose—to trap and eliminate Xatu with Pursuit. Since it is immune to Xatu's nearly unresisted STAB Psychic, takes little from Hidden Power Ice or Electric, and has a solid Special Attack, Houndour can consistently clear the way for teammates that are...

[SET] name: Growth Pass Recipient move 1: Ice Beam move 2: Surf move 3: Hidden Power Grass move 4: Protect item: Leftovers [SET COMMENTS] Set Description ========= Dewgong is one of the scariest Growth recipients in the tier, since it is extremely bulky and fast enough to outspeed threats to...

Post heavily inspired by the RBYPL IV Format Discussion thread Art by Kolohe Host Team: roxie, Hiro' Tournament Rules and General Guidelines GSCPL IV Commencement Thread (Coming Soon) Spreadsheet (Coming Soon) Schedule Sheet (Coming Soon) In this thread, feel free to discuss...

[OVERVIEW] Boasting the highest Special Attack stat in the tier, a fantastic typing of pure Water, STAB-boosted Surf that hits several common Pokemon such as Dugtrio, Ninetales, Graveler, and Rapidash for super effective damage while 3HKOing most neutral targets; RestTalk for longevity; and the...

[OVERVIEW] Primeape is one of the most dangerous physical attackers in the metagame. Boasting an astronomical Attack stat, a great Speed stat that ties it with Xatu, and a powerful STAB Cross Chop backed up by solid coverage, Primeape makes for a great choice for wallbreaking or cleaning on...

[OVERVIEW] In a landscape dominated by strong offensive Normal-types, Porygon appears outclassed and outgunned by all, especially by Wigglytuff, which is the default bulky, recovery-using Normal-type that blanket checks special attackers like Xatu, Dewgong, and Chinchou. However, Recover is a...

[OVERVIEW] Flareon makes its name as by far the best Pokemon that learns both Growth and Baton Pass in NU, becoming a powerful support piece for facilitating strong special attackers. Flareon also has incredible attacking stats itself, allowing it to function as a powerful wallbreaker, whether...

Swagger has got to go. It's a surprisingly prominent piece of the metagame, having shown up in several tournament games both recently and even multiple years ago, and quite consistently it manages to completely take over games and drastically shift the favor of the battle in the direction of the...

A few days ago, a random thought in my mind popped up: "Hear me out: Double Rock Offense." At first, it may seem strange. Why not use that second slot for a different pokemon that better synergizes with the team or is a win con? After all, one rock usually does a pretty fine job on most teams...

[OVERVIEW] Due to Magnemite's amazing Steel typing, high Special Attack stat of 95, and difficult-to-resist STAB Thunder, it can make for an excellent long-term defensive answer to Xatu and Fearow capable of repeatedly switching in on them to fire off attacks, battering away at the opposing...

:gs/pineco: :gs/xatu: :gs/octillery: :gs/ninetales: :gs/chinchou: :gs/weezing: https://pokepast.es/46a1abf0ce88ba65 I wanted to try out ninetales because I think it's cool and I haven't used it much and wanted to see what it could do, and in my usual gsc nu building process I threw on xatu...

Moltres has always been a cool pokemon in GSC OU to me. With its potentially nuclear power, rest talk for longevity and allowing it to absolutely dump on exeggutor, and being another flying type which is always nice in gsc to beat pokemon like steelix and not be worn down by spikes, I've always...

GSC OU Secret Santa 2022 Secret Santa is an event in which the members of a community anonymously exchange gifts between themselves. In this particular Secret Santa, which, deep down, will work similarly to a teambuilding workshop, each person who signs up will PM me with a Pokémon or a core...
