    OU RBY OU Discussion Thread

    I feel like you’re sorely mistaken if you feel ohko moves wouldn’t be used much. Rby moves at a relatively slow pace and giving something like tauros the ability to ohko cloyster or reflect lax is an amazing quality. It’s not just the obvious ones too: para support can make anything a usable...

    OU Outlining an issue with Smogon tiers

There are others too: on stalls without Latias, zapdos, celebi, and nidoqueen are also also good choices. In a...

    Hey sorry about this but I had a meeting moved to our scheduled time. Would it be ok to do 30 mins later (so 12:30 -4) or 10:30 -4? If not, I’ll see what I can do but I will probably be late
