(Okay, there's enough argument about this that it needs its own thread as opposed to clamouring for a quickfix as SOME PEOPLE have done.) Freeze Clause should not be used in simulators attempting to simulate RBY cartridge play. It is a perversion of in-game mechanics to suit whiners. Sleep...

Split from Most Dominant Pokemon in History II. Comparing KOs without crits and secondary effects significantly overrates Rhydon and Golem since they have neither. The special attackers all have high chances to 2HKO Tauros once those are factored in (41% for Starmie Psychic, 59% for Zam...

I figured since the issue came up in the Showdown bugfix thread, I'd get a show of hands for the different options. So, what's your opinion on which of these sets of rules should be used? These are the proposals I've seen around the community; if you see one I haven't noticed, point it out...

I have no clue how to use this thing. I've tried to use it and it's never really worked for me. I ended up partially derailing the GSC OU Viability thread with my incompetent babble. So: - Against what do you bring Forretress in? - What partners well with Forretress? - Forretress + Skarm feels...

So I've seen a lot of arguing over exactly how likely it is for Lapras to beat Thunderbolt Chansey with its vaunted parafusion. I thought this was pretty silly, since the actual probability is an undisputable fact. So I figured I'd run the numbers myself and see what popped out. Now I realise...

So, since it was brought up in the Rankings thread, I thought I'd check some of my assumptions about how to use Blissey. Everything I say here I'm not sure about, so don't hesitate to correct me and don't take it as gospel. So, here goes what I've managed to piece together and reason out. -...

Obviously inspired by the ADV Best Friends thread. This thread is for discussion of Pokemon combinations in RBY that work particularly well together. I'll start with one I've promoted elsewhere, though I haven't used it much myself. Gengar + Articuno Defensively, the direct benefit of this...

Well, I realised I've never actually posted this team on here, so I figured I might as well do it. Starmie - Blizzard - Psychic - Thunder Wave - Recover My anti-lead. Chosen over Alakazam because it dishes out the hurt better against an Exeggutor switch-in. No Thunderbolt because I don't...

Since a mod seems to agree with me that RBY Mewtwo doesn't belong in a discussion of GSC Snorlax, here's a place for it. :rb/mewtwo: This thing has a BST of 590, far eclipsing Mew and Dragonite at 500 and outstripping all competitors in the crucial Special stat. Its typing - mono-Psychic - has...
