    [OVERVIEW] Kyurem-Black is a versatile mixed-physical threat in the Balanced Hackmons USUM metagame. Its Ice/Dragon typing allows it to deal good damage to key walls in the metagame such as Giratina and Zygarde-Ultimate. Its typing however renders it weak to common hazards While Kyurem has...

    Smogon Users in Africa

    I know we exist, but it seems we're the absolute lowest minority around here. If you're currently living in Africa and play on Smogon, comment here so we can band together. I'm from South Africa and I currently live about an hour away from Johannesburg (to start the thread off).

    Other Metagames [BH] The Times They Are A-Changin' [Top 10 / 88.8 GXE]

    A short pre-face: this a rework of my very first gen-7 BH team RMT. With the release of USUM imminent and the possible new-release of Pokemon; I thought it would be apt to rework my original gen-7 BH team and see how it would do on the current ladder. It turns out it did quite well. Better...

    Other Metagames [BH] Enjoy the silence

    (Click the image for music) Team development I started with the very simple core of Choice Specs Aerilate M-Rayquaza and Poison Heal Regigigas. They generally share the same checks and counters and help break these down with high powered stabs (Boomburst // Facade). Not to mention each in...

    Other Metagames M&M: Knockin' on heavens door

    To listen to while you read Prelude: This is an old team built pre-blazikenite meta. However it still works quite well all things considered. I thought I'd make an RMT to bring it up to standards of the current M&M meta since I have no idea how that looks right now besides it being filled...

    ORAS PU The golden standard: Monferno balance

    Teambuilding process I started with the offensive core of Arbok and Monferno. The plan is to sweep with Monferno; Arbok helps weaken Monferno's checks and counters. I added a simple defensive core to backup the offensive duo I have. Golem gives me rocks, a normal check, and an electric...

    ORAS OU Mega-Alakazam / Terrakion Offense

    Teambuilding process I wanted to build around Mega-Alakazam / Terrakion. Terrakion takes care of dark types & bulky special walls for Alakazam. Alakazam sweeps with CM once its checks have been removed. Simple. I added Landorus as a general physical wall. It checks a lot of things in the...

    Team building process Centerpiece: Ludicolo I wanted to build a team around Ludicolo, since I like it as a pokemon. Ludicolo works best as a 3 attack sweeper with rain dance & life orb to boost the power of its attacks. It can clean up well late game or wallbreak early to mid-game. It's...
