Are there any dedicated suicide leads in SM UU besides Azelf?

Thanks for the info, but when SM first came out I put Flyinium on a Toucannon and its Beak Blast-turned-Supersonic Skystrike still burned my opponent on contact. Was that an error in the PS simulator or is that an exception in-game?

Does Z-Scald/Hydro Vortex going off Scald still have a 30% burn chance?

I was wondering if DragMag was a viable strategy in SM OU. I heard that 4drag2mag was popular back in DPPt, and I was wondering if any variation of using Magnezone in tandem with a Dragon-type sweeper is viable in the current generation.

Pivot TOOT CANNON (Toucannon) (M) @ Leftovers Ability: Skill Link EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpA Quiet Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Beak Blast - Overheat - Bullet Seed - U-turn I've been trying several Toucannon sets and this one is the one I've had the most success with. Of course, "most...

Why is nobody speculating about a tier below PU? There's gotta be a place for Delcatty to shine. And I won't stop until there's a tier where I can use my favorite Pokemon, Toucannon, and win. I'm serious. Also, Togedemaru is precious. Unlike the other electric rodents, he can paraflinch with...

I hate it so much when that happens. It's disrespectful to Pokemon who would do so well in NU or PU, to keep them in RU where they're laughed at for how unviable they are.

Lol, and then GameFreak would have been a troll as usual and not given him any pulse moves, just like how they gave him Sheer Force but no moves he can use to take advantage of it. :( Maybe a pseudo-Double Dance set with Tailwind and Swords Dance could work relatively well? I'm currently...

Okay, so Lurantis probably won't end up in OU or even UU. THAT'S OKAY. Please don't invalidate the lower tiers or their Pokemon, people. I mentioned this in the Toucannon thread and it looks like I'll have to mention it several times over. Lower tier =/= worthless. Sure, Pokemon in lower tiers...

Friendly reminder that the tier of a Pokemon does not determine its worth. From a fan's perspective, even Pokemon weak enough to be unviable in PU are precious (Sunflora, guys. This adorable flower has done nothing wrong and needs to be protected.). From a competitive battler's perspective, just...

Togedemaru @ Terrain Extender Ability: Sturdy EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Electric Terrain - Nuzzle - Zing Zap - U-Turn I've been testing this set and found that it works pretty well. Use Togedemaru as a lead and pretty much guarantee an extended Electric Terrain...

toot cannon is my new favorite pokemon because toot has beep blat and toucans are my favorite birbs In all seriousness, though, Beak Blast is an awesome move. Toucannon is so slow that he doesn't mind the reduced priority, and burning physical attackers is always nice. You essentially have a...

I know it's probably too early to ask, but does a tier below PU look like a thing that will likely happen this gen, considering the new mons? Oricorio needs somewhere to shine ;_;

If there are a whopping 66 fully evolved Pokemon that are completely unviable and unusable in the lowest tier, then why isn't there a tier below it?

I would like to request a team built around Meganium, using any build, any Pokemon, and any Meganium set - the only requirement is that the team has to have Meganium, my third favorite Pokemon of all time, in it. I've been trying to make use of what Meganium has that other Grass-types don't have...

Oh sweet, I had no idea that that existed. Thank you.

I have a question about infractions. Is there a way for you to view the infractions you've received, and how many points they're worth? How do the infraction point and ban systems work in the Smogon forums? I looked everywhere for this information but couldn't find it.

Looking through the thread, I saw that the main reason why it isn't official (or even an Other Metagame) is that there was no user interest in it. Is lack of user interest the main reason why Other Metagames die? What are the reasons for Other Metagames to be unsuccessful?

I'm new to Smogon so bear with me if this isn't the right place to ask this. What is the reason why there aren't any Tiers below PU? There are many Pokemon in PU that aren't viable in the tier (including my two all-time favorite Pokemon) so lower Tiers where those Pokemon can be viably used...

Hate me for this, but (Anyone who wants to can go ahead and delete this post if it's bad) I was playing around with the infamous Ambipom when I came up with this set. Ambipom @ Lum Berry Ability: Technician EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Fake Out - Return - Knock Off -...
