PokéCommunity is preparing to undergo a major update in 2023. All members should ensure they can access the email associated with their account as a password reset might be required post-update. The exact date of transition will be made available at a later date.

It appears IMGUR will be (and apparently has already started) deleting images that weren't uploaded directly to an account. You can check the update notes on IMGUR here.

We know a lot of you will have used IMGUR to upload images for your threads and other PC content (signatures, flairs, etc.) and not everyone was doing so with an account.

So please note that some of your existing images may break at some point in the future. We recommend making an IMGUR account if you plan to continue using IMGUR.

Fun with Regenerator (OU)

gimmepie, May 2016: I have never claimed that you can't use lefties Tran, I just personally prefer Air Balloon. Besides I've given up trying to convince you people.

Mono-type team assistance

PlatinumDude, May 2016: Item clause is unnecessary. You can get away with using multiples of the same item. If you're insistent on playing by item clause, Wacan Berry or Rindo Berry can be used on Manaphy to give it a one-time buffer against one of its weaknesses.

Mono-Psychic

Okage, May 2016: Yeah, I can see where they can be annoying. Really, Latias is the only one who doesn't have a set job. She was put there to fill a slot sadly. Also, I have this mentality of having all my Pokemon be different types. (And while this is a Mono-Type...

Mono-Bug

Pepperton, May 2016: M-Scizor is one of the best Megas in the game so if you want a team to have a good shot at being competitive I'd build around that. M-Pinsir is good but is overshadowed by MZor in many ways. Despite this, if you still want to use M-Pinsir (because...

Strong trick room team, someone has other idea for good backups?

Murt93, Jun 2016: A couple of things: 1. leading off with both of your only trick room guys is a bad idea. 2. Your lead trick room setter should always have mental herb to guarantee trick room set-up. 3. Your team is too passive, trick room only lasts 5 turns,...

It's Been Awhile

gimmepie, Aug 2016: Seconding the Skarmory recommendation, it'd greatly improve the team and can give you a potential taunter or your own as well since you already have hazard control with Tentacruel.

Building My First Team - Advice and Feedback Wanted!

OU Team

kingtigertank, Sep 2016: You usually don't need 2 separate spinner/defoggers. That wastes a move slot in my opinion. I would go with Heat Wave on Zapdos instead, since Zapdos is weak to rocks which makes it a worse defog/spinner than excadrill. Or just not change breloom to...

destinedjagold, Sep 2016: I am aware that Goth can learn TR. The reason why I gave it to Slowbro instead is because of Oblivious making Taunt useless on Slowbro. I can't have Terrakion because he's a legendary and in this tourney, we're not allowed to use legendaries. So...

My Stalling Team
