Hi. Nice to meet you here. :]]

Don't know if this was suggested before... Can we have the option of closing out different parts of a forum? http://prntscr.com/6gjfwu There are some sections of a forum that I think most people do not go to. I myself do not go to the Gaming General or Pokemon Fan Club in the Gaming section, but I do however go to the Onyx Trainer School often. I think it would make it more organized for certain users.

Gosh, it looks amazing! I like the way how Noivern's wings are kinda surrounding the Queen. Beautiful work!

I'd say Serra. Back when she forced you to play Doubles against her, she would constantly pound your entire squad of fire and fighting pokemon with her high level accuracy Blizzards. It takes more than a simple type advantage to break through such a skillful leader like Serra. Now, she's nerfed to singles because only a few emerged victorious from a Blizzard spam strategy. She makes players train to be better. That's what I like about Serra.

Won against Explosms and then Pineapple. Solid games! Explosms http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/reborn-monotype-12071 Pineapple http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/reborn-monotype-12072

Note: Smogon has listed many movesets that are standard in the metagame, because they're easy to use, effective and common. However, less common movesets can also be effective. This topic's purpose is to keep track of great, new sets that will hopefully make competitive battling be a more enjoyable experience, for those who are looking for something fresh. A fun and impressive moveset should be able to: Pull off a role for the team successfully. Avoid being outclassed. Take advantage of the current state of the metagame. While you don't always need to meet these points, you'll rarely find a set that remains effective despite not meeting the criteria. While there are some nice and creative sets right now, that doesn't mean that they're effective. If they're not effective, they're unreliable and that means they shouldn't necessarily be considered for more than a niche pick. Don't take something from a lower tier so we can use it in OU, for the sake of using it in OU. No one is going to use Carbink instead of a regular Diancie just because it is different. Don't use a moveset that is outclassed by another pokemon fulfilling the same role. Don't use a inefficient move choice just to hit a specific pokemon. Using Shadow Ball as a move for Chansey only to hit Gengar super effectively (which otherwise walls Chansey all day), is completely insane. Chansey is meant to wall special attackers, not deal damage unless it is using Seismic Toss. Using Shadow Ball as a move for Chansey to hit Gengar specifically is inefficient. It's purpose isn't to deal damage, and that kind of choice is a team-specific niche pick. Here is a example of a fun and impressive set that I have been successful with. Heatran @ Leftovers Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 64 HP / 192 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Magma Storm - Earth Power - Taunt - Toxic The preceding Heatran set fits very well on Balanced teams. It is designed to trap many defensively oriented Pokemon like the common Clefable, and proceed to isolate and remove the Pokemon from being a threat to the team. Here is the idea of the set. Trap something with Magma Storm that your teammates will appreciate being gone from the game. Once you trap something, use Toxic so you gradually increase damage every turn. Use Taunt so the opponent will not be able to recover its health or clear the toxic condition away. Watch the trapped pokemon torment itself to death. Feel free to share any sets that you deem are fun and effective. I want Reborn to have a vibrant competitive battling scene that strives to become better everyday! Let's start a archive of amazing and fun movesets!

Yeah. Didn't want to give Kyoyo a unfair advantage due to some hax that could have made him lose the game. (The battle is already over, but that was my thought process when he missed Toxic.) I want to win this Monotype tour with style.

Less than 30 minutes before the tournament starts! Don't forget to go here to join the tour!

Yo, Happy Birthday! Kick some butt on the ladder for me, will ya? :]

Won against Kyoyo in bracket 1. GG http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/reborn-monotype-11530

Is this supposed to be a VGC team? Please specify the tier of your team. Mega Salamence is banned in OU as far as I'm aware. I'll give a better rate when I get on my computer. EDIT: I can't give a proper rate. I have no experience in the VGC metagame, so I won't put any input. Sorry

Well it is a Egg group, so yes it should be allowed.

Joining this tour. Have fun everyone!

(If this doesn't belong in the right place, an auth can direct it to the right section) So I made a sprite that I want to use on the Showdown server. However, it needs a bit of "editing". Whoever wants to help me clean and edit this sprite, hit me up with a private message for more discussion. I'll pay the user 1,000 rupees if the task is succeeded. This is really important to me, so I can pay 2,000 rupees as well if I must. EDIT: The task has been completed by Jericho. Thanks a bunch!
