    Tier Shift Metagame (THIS IS BW)

    When people start running Politoed and five Swift Swim mons, we'll see if you guys still think it's not OP. Buffing NU Chlorophyll sweepers doesn't change the inherent imbalances in the game mechanics.

    Tier Shift Metagame (THIS IS BW)

    Instead of considering bans, what if BL mons just got boosts in between the tiers? Makes the most sense to me, considering that's actually where they are. +3 for BL1, +7 for BL2? Also, here's a Baton Pass vs Hail battle. Any team/play critique would be dandy. The opponent at one point sent out...

    Tier Shift Metagame (THIS IS BW)

    So I've been playing around in TS a bit and I thought I'd share my observations about things I've tried. I haven't been rocking the ladder like a hurricane or anything, but regardless... Charizard seems kinda meh. Sure it packs a lot of power, but unless your team is designed around supporting...

    CAP 16 CAP 5 - Part 7 - Secondary Ability Discussion

    After giving it more thought, I realized Infiltrator could potentially make CAP5 an excellent Banded Pursuit trapper, should it end up with the move. Considering the stat spread, it's very reminiscent of Banded Spiritomb in RU. That isn't necessarily a problem in itself, but unfortunately I fear...

    CAP 16 CAP 5 - Part 7 - Secondary Ability Discussion

    I like the ideas of Lead Guard and Inflitrator. Overgrowth would also be a very safe option, and anyone leaning toward "no/ineffective second ability" should consider it. It's far to situational and risky to successfully make it the centerpiece of a pokemon's strategy, and in sun it's still...

    CAP 16 CAP 5 - Part 1 - Concept Assessment

    What types are uncommon in the current metagame? Why? Think of a type with no obviously outstanding traits and legions of mediocre members. Imagine there was a type so overlooked and underused, no CAP had ever been designated it before and only one OU Pokemon belongs to it, despite it being...
