Plusle [OVERVIEW] For a Pokemon that is all about positivity, there are ironically very few plus points about Plusle. Despite seemingly passable offensive stats, it is outclassed as an offensive Electric-type by the likes of Zebstrika, Rotom-F, Raichu, Electabuzz, and Pikachu. Defensively...

Castform [OVERVIEW] Castform is the living proof that if man ever hopes to emulate nature's beauty in its creation of living things, there's still a long way to go. While nature has concocted majestic dragons and serpents such as Salamence and Milotic, all that the top scientists from Hoenn...

Minun [OVERVIEW] It is said that the Pokedex is an encyclopedia of all the Pokemon in the world, with accurate, comprehensive information all about them. Minun's Pokedex entry is a perfect example of this; the Pokemon Ruby entry explains Minun's role and niche in battle, as well as its...

<3 [OVERVIEW] The Sapphire Pokedex entry states that any couple that comes across a Luvdisc is promised a loving relationship that never ends. The Emerald Pokedex entry states that giving a Luvdisc is a way to express one's feelings of love. Just imagine meeting your soulmate in battle and...

hi, can I write an article about some of the sets popularized by SPL players in NU? Sets like: - CM + 3 attacks Uxie - CB Sneasel - Healing Wish Musharna - fast offensive spikes Garbodor - Hariyama with coverage moves (ThunderPunch, EQ) - AV Magmortar - bulky SD Scyther - maybe more? and for...

Approved by WhiteDMist Banner by scorpdestroyer Each week, some people (mostly PU council members, but other people as well) will each pick a Pokemon that we feel fit the following criteria: Pokemon that are underrated or have lots of undiscovered potential Pokemon we forgot existed Pokemon...

I think this fits in Metagame and I hope the title is good enough Anyway I want to write an article about the notable sets that have been hidden before but then discovered and have become almost standard. What I'm planning to write up on are: - Overview: PU is a trash tier but a lot of cool...

Who would've thought this would be good? Overview ######## Kricketune is the best Sticky Web setter in PU, allowing it to support its slow but powerful teammates by slowing down the opposing Pokemon. Unlike other Sticky Web users such as Leavanny and Ariados, Kricketune has a lot of utility...

Stoutland Overview ######## Stoutland faces a lot of competition from the other offensive Normal-types in the tier: Kangaskhan, Zangoose, Tauros, and Bouffalant outperform it in almost every role. Stoutland, however, stands out as one of NU's two Sand Rush sweepers and boasts good coverage...

Volbeat Overview ######## Volbeat is a good sun and rain setter thanks to its ability, Prankster, which allows it to set up weather before most opponents can attack. In addition, it also has access to a slow U-turn, allowing it to set up weather, take a hit, and bring in a sweeper unharmed...

Solrock Credit to Magcargo 2 for skeleton [Overview] <p>Solrock's mediocre base stats and common weaknesses leave it unable to shine in NU. It is mostly outclassed by fellow Rock-types Golem and Regirock, which are stronger and bulkier. However, some perks do give Solrock a niche; it is best...

Hello and welcome to my RMT. Basically this team was born at the very start of XY NU. When I saw that both Magmortar and Typhlosion were in the tier, I hyped up fire spam quite a lot and claimed that "nothing could counter it". While this is far from the case, it's still pretty difficult to stop...

Hello, currently when clicking on links that are unread, we are immediately brought to the last unread reply. While this is really good for discussion threads, for some threads, especially resource threads and usage stats, going to the OP is pretty important. I know it is possible to just click...

This article was written with the assumption that other XY articles and the Smogdex will be already easily accessible on-site. Introduction One day, your Rotom-W was bearing down on an opposing Azumarill. Looking up their stats, you realize that Rotom-W had a superior base Speed stat of 86 to...

as you can see i dont think much of sunflora taken over from kingler12345 because he doesnt think much of it either [Overview] <p>Sunflora is a bad Pokemon in NU. It is too slow to sweep even with a Speed boost from Chlorophyll, and to make matters worse, its frailty means it would hardly have...

Approved by Arcticblast and Joim Thanks to Slayer95 for originally implementing it With the advent of gen 6, a new ability was released: Protean. This ability allowed the user to change its type right before it used a move to match the type of the move used. For example, Greninja using Ice...
