    Gen 5 Simisage [QC 0/2]

    [OVERVIEW] Simisage is an odd wallbreaker due to its mediocre STAB but powerful and near-perfect coverage options. Combine this great coverage with Simisage's great Speed and an excellent mixed wallbreaker is born. However, Simisage's choice between weak or unreliable STAB options mixed with...

    [OVERVIEW] With the combination of Choice Scarf to outrun the entire unboosted metagame and a surprisingly powerful Ice Beam on even Pokemon that resist it, Vanilluxe makes a niche for itself in PU as a revenge killer and potential sweeper. The notable lack of coverage, lack of a truly good...

    Gen 5 Mantine [0/2]

    [OVERVIEW] Mantine is a Pokemon with many wonderful things going for it on paper.

    Gen 5 BW PU

    HOW DO I BEAT X? One of the most common questions I get when showing people the tier is the simple "How do I beat X? It seems so good" and this makes complete sense as to why it's so common. A plethora of offensive options is the calling card of this tier so dealing with all of them can be very...

    [OVERVIEW] Torterra is an absolute monster of a threat in the BW PU metagame, carrying one of the most deadly offensive presences that works hand in hand with one of the most customizable toolkits in the tier. With it's massive stats in comparison to the tier, it's natural bulk and strength...
