Wow, a twofer! We've been looking at top threats in the Linked metagame and have dealt with quite a few via quickbans. Now, it's time for the community to chime in with some of the nuisances that remain.
Dragapult is a premier choice...

in these liminal times, it's nice to look back at what has been always nice for the off-topic community, and one of the classics of old is the low-key randbat tour. The format this time is everyone's favorite [Gen 8] Random Battle.
I am adding an additional rule that either player may choose to...
Metronome doesn't really have any ownership apart from PS administration, so I figure this is the place to request this—we've been looking to gather usage statistics for Metronome battles, and the only thing preventing this is the lack of a rated format. Marty's already un-blacklisted it from...

Selecting a Pokemon's first or second move will cause it to use both of those moves in a row on that same turn.
Introduction
Fans of the Pokemon...
Welcome! My current giveaways are as follows:
Flame Orb Guts Obstagoon
The Flame Orb has been the hotness ever since people realized Game Freak made it completely unobtainable apart from Ball Guy's merciless random lootbags. As one of the lucky few to possess such a sphere, I figure it would...

The Negative Tournament
Let's send off gen 7 with a... whimper? In this metagame, which some may remember from the BW and XY eras, all base stats of all Pokemon are subtracted from 160, effectively flipped...

Thanks to the dedicated team behind LGPE OU (s/o Kris), there are usage stats available for Let's Go formats. This naturally means UU is upon us! Much like the OU format, this metagame is based off of the "Normal Rules" in-game...

Keep in mind that this is a 2 vs. 2...
