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.

First Competitive Team, 6th slot help. (Singles)

halcyonic, Dec 2014: i would rly like to explain why gren is banworthy but i won't. instead i'll give a tiny bit of advice: your team is offensive, so i would keep roserade over ferrothorn and avoid passive, slow pokemon like chansey/blissey and defensive jirachi....

Need help filling 6th slot (ORAS)

PlatinumDude, Dec 2014: Dragon Dance is pretty much Mega Tyranitar's only viable set, as the other sets appreciate the passive recovery from Leftovers or the greater Speed boost from Choice Scarf. You need Rapid Spin/Defog support, as Talonflame and Weavile are weak to...

ORAS Team Help

Mottly, Dec 2014: Keep in mind you can't use bulk up on a Pokémon holding the assault vest, like you listed on Conk. I've been getting a lot of value out of will-o-whips on my choice band talonflame. I know it seems a bit strange to run a status move on a choice...

How does my Team Look?

PlatinumDude, Dec 2014: As I already mentioned, Garchomp outclasses Flygon in every way possible. For both, the only special move they should use is Fire Blast, mainly to nail Skarmory, Scizor and Ferrothorn. Ice Pokemon are already chunked hard by Earthquake or Outrage.

Team Help

PlatinumDude, Dec 2014: My main gripe about having 2 boosting moves on Smeargle is that you have to pick one to boost with, which limits what teammates it can Baton Pass to. Shell Smash, on the other hand, gives it more flexibility on who to give the boosts to. What I'm...

Building a team around Infernape + 6th Pokemon Help

PlatinumDude, Dec 2014: You could use regular Diancie, but its Mega form overshadows it in every way possible, due to its superior Speed. Diancie's common weaknesses are also a hindrance, though it's a decent bird spam check.

ORAS team help

PlatinumDude, Dec 2014: I wouldn't use Thunder on Blissey, as not only is it strong enough to really abuse it, but Ground Pokemon, especially Excadrill, hard-wall it. Dragalge already soaks up special attacks just fine.

1st ORAS OU team

PlatinumDude, Nov 2014: Even though Grass Knot is a weird choice on Mega Metagross, it's actually valid because it's boosted by Tough Claws. It still OHKOs (Mega) Swampert and has a good shot of KOing Mega Slowbro even with a Jolly nature.
