Pokemon Guide Section

[t3h Icy]

This section is our read-only advanced guides in RBY. Some may currently be under construction.

In each thread is vast depth of information on each Pokemon faring in OU, and how each Pokemon performs in their own tier. So for example, Dugtrio in BL has information for both OU and BL.

Ideally, we want these to be our go-to place for guides as we usually just have a mess of scattered data all over the site. These are made to get everything in one place. New posts will not be made in these threads, but just the original post edited periodically. For general discussion and/or what to change on the guides here, refer to the discussion section.

These guides are also constructed based on the standard ruleset:

Pure RBY (no GSC tradebacks or Stadium mechanics)
Mewtwo and Mew are banned (their guides refer to the Ubers tier)
Sleep Clause
Freeze Clause
Self-KO Clause
Species Clause
Evasion moves are banned (Double Team, Minimize)
OHKO moves are banned (Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill)
Wrapping moves are banned (Bind, Clamp, Fire Spin, Wrap)

Please don't write "standard" unless you want another stupid debate with Dre. >_>

The point is to end that discussion before it happen in the future. We'll have to deal with that for now, but this is the better way to go in the long run.

Right, our plans through all of this content is to become the authority on RBY, the go-to for info about the metagame. So that includes standardizing the rules. I think it's fine to say "the standard" but "our standard" is a softer option for now. IDC

The long-term goal is to have Wrap as taboo as Double Team.
