    Some thoughts from me as well, mostly from Doubles perspective:

     

    - "Competitive" only exists XY onwards so I doubt we will get Competitive Milotic

    - Gyarados will also get a noticable buff in Doubles. I am still unsure if Intimidate or Moxie is the better ability (depends of your team I suppose) but if you go full on the set up, Moxie can be great. But beyond that, Raichu's Lightningrod might arguably be the biggest thing buffing Gyarados.

    - Regen might slightly buff bulky variants of Reuniclus, Slowking and Slowbro even in Doubles

    - Nidoking becomes threatening in Doubles as well. Sheer Force Nidoking has proven itself quite of a strong Pokemon with both Life Orb and Choice Scarf in VGC 2018 metagame and looking at MMO meta, it basically heavily pressurizes everything below base 80 speed.

    - I agree with above comment that Serperior would also become very powerful in Doubles

    - Adaptability Crawdaunt becomes viable especially in Singles but I'd say it has its niche in Doubles too. It jumped to Gen 6 UU when it got Adaptability which makes me think it could have potential to gain OU usage.

    - Sableye might have a niche at Doubles

    - I am also hopeful of Empoleon becoming a good pick in Doubles. It has a great defensive typing already, basically shutting down 4/6 out of Standard rain team and heavily countering things like Crobat, Salamence or Hydreigon. Accidental Defiant boost can make Empoleon quite of a threat on the field and Roost also gives it very annoying longevity, I mean Milotic isn't awful in Doubles and it would become just the better version of it.

    - Scrafty gets Intimidate which makes it in some cases a potential competitor for Hitmontop slot in Doubles

    - I really doubt they will ever release Speed Boost Blaziken due to being easily Uber, also Shadow Tag Gothitelle while nerfed by the 3 turn rule might be deemed a bit unnecessary

    - Oh my lord if we ever would get Moody Smeargle Doubles would become hilarious (no seriously please don't do it, I'm begging you)

     

    Noted! Will fix the chart in the following hours ? Ty for your input.

     

    * Ah, shoot. Was excited for milo ?

    * Agreed. Still believe that the fixation on the taunt-t-wave defensive gyara will rule still. 

    * That's were I cannot quite agree with you. Taunt would really nerf both slowing and slowbro, however, once you have figured it out what ability its running it could be too late. lol. so the bluff battles and the mind games will be real. So there's a strong point for the regen bros. Nevertheless, magic guard is too strong for reuni, and the game is too fast paced for us to set up and recycle reuni, unless we are running some kind of doubles-stall. Specs/life orb could be actually good. 

    * Yeah, but it wishes to run 2 hidden powers. lol. but yeah. 

    * No question. It will uprise to UUBL at the very least. Craw is way to strong. Some call him (me), the new weavile. Please elaborate how Craw could be used in doubles.

    * And riolu (w/ coaching), and liepard, but I don't know to what extent.

    * I believe that empo will not be as relevant because of defiant.  Roost, icy wind/beam, scald seem to be mandatory on the support set (roar, toxic, protect, stealth rocks, grass knot, some hidden power). Probably it could have a nice use on a full offensive set. 

    * Wolfey flashbacks. Yup. I didn't include it right away because crobat and shao are waaaay to prominent. However it has a way better match up against the ghosts unlike hitmontop.

    * People are excited for the speed boost, tho. I believe the same can be applied to darm-zen mode.

    * I mean, goth has access too fake out and other damaging moves - unlike wobbuffet- and it can be really punishing as a lead or late game in dobs with the right partner despite the 3 turn clause.

    * Its coming. Brace yourself.

    Good idea, although I disagree on some points, I will share my point of view:

    I doubt that Xatu will have a significant role in OU, I would say that at best he could be the ''Espeon of UU''

    Serperior Contrary might have some impact on dubs, as there are allies with Follow Me.

    You shouldn't forget or rule out P2 with analytic, which while it's currently better capable, might surprise you.

    Crobat I think that if it will have an impact on OU with infiltrator, since it would be a perfect check for Breloom

    I doubt that Sableye will have an impact on OU, since prankster prevents sinister pokemon from being used for status moves, and if Sableye is taken into account, we should not forget about Murkrow either (Which would be a gimmick at most, I don't know I don't think relevant, but should not be forgotten)

    And correct me if I'm wrong, but PZ's hidden ability as far as I know is analytical.

    Noted! Will fix the chart in the following hours ? Ty for your input.

     

    * I speculated that Xatu could be a surprising pivot (in every tier) because it has access to both u-turn and teleport. And its move pool is not half bad. The flying weakness tho and the fact that except for the defense stat, Espeon is superior. 

     

    * I can see the leafstorm spam being viable. The following Pokemon come to mind for checking serp: Crobat, rotom H, rotom M, sala, ferro.  Everything else gets nuked with ease.

    "+6 252 SpA Serperior Leaf Storm vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Crobat: 91-108 (56.8 - 67.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO"

    "+6 252 SpA Serperior Leaf Storm vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Salamence: 91-108 (53.5 - 63.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO"

    "+6 252 SpA Serperior Leaf Storm vs. 252 HP / 200+ SpD Ferrothorn: 52-62 (28.7 - 34.2%) -- 99.6% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery"

    at plus +6 with only 252 hp, it KOs both rooms lol. 

     

    *Oh shoot. Missed that (analytic -porygons). Will be included. 

     

    * I believe as well that the inner focus overall will take their counterpart abilities asap in OU. I mean the crobat inclusion might shift the use of the sub most common users: volcarona, breloom, chandelure.

    "252 Atk Crobat Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Chandelure: 88-105 (65.1 - 77.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery"

    "252 Atk Crobat Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Volcarona: 152-180 (79.1 - 93.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO" (the off-chance that is the bulky volc 252hp, 252def).

     

    * I thought that sableye would be very impactful because it has the priority wisp for scizor, it hard checks conk with prankster recovery, and t-tars pursuit's is not super effective. 

    "252+ Atk Choice Band Tyranitar Pursuit (40 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 51-60 (32.4 - 38.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after sandstorm damage" (so switching will be - 68ish% I believe).

    pivoting however: "252+ Atk Choice Band Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 73-87 (46.4 - 55.4%) -- 67.6% chance to 2HKO". And that's a big issue. 

     

    *Will add Murkrow and its gimmicks. OMG I FORGOT PRANKSTER RIOLU!!!!!!

     

  3. I thought this would be useful! Please note that there is a color legend (that with your feedback, hopefully, will be enriched with other tiers). There will be a Spanish translation for every ability in the table. 

    (Pensé que esto sería de gran ayuda. Por favor, tengan en cuenta que hay una leyenda de colores que con su ayuda se expandirá también a las demás tiers. Hay una traducción en español para cada habilidad en la tabla). 

     

     

     

    Hidden abilities (habilidades ocultas)

    Blue: OU + DBS

    Green: OU

    Lightish brown: DBS

    Ubers or will not be added for competitive play

     

    The Pokemon that are highlighted with the respective colors will be, in my opinion, the ones that will have the most impact on the metagame. 

    (Los pokemones que están resaltados con los colores respectivos serán, en mi opinión, los que tendrán el mayor impacto en el meta actual).

     

    Cheers ?

  4. The sad part is that, if they don't come through, we cannot do a thing about it.  And I second Paul's post. 

    43 minutes ago, Paul said:

    I lost my wife. my job, my family, my hobbies, my life savings, and my house in preparation for this event. I have nothing left, thanks Kyu.

     

  5. Breeder boxes 1x31s (10 of HP, 10 of ATK, 10 of def ... and so on)

    - Water A

    - Monster

    - Field

    - Humanoid

     

    Also, I would like to purchase a 5x31 adamant hitmontop/tyrogue with the appropriate egg moves: mach punch, bullet punch, high jump kick, pursuit (this last one is optional).

    Please feel free to pm here or through the game (ING: Astarmentor).

     

    Cheers!

    This depend exclusively of your region. Best channels to you watch is some that talk English, or you local language, the second is more preferable. A example:

    In my region(Brazil), i choose Krimson Games, Cucco Productions and Takkiry. All in portuguese, so i can understand explanations better, in some videos like Gym Farm tutorial, and breeding. For international channel, no questions: Roy Rogers News.

    I totally second Caiox's opinion. All depends upon the language. There are some really decent Spanish-speaking channels. But a channel I absolute love is Roidedewok. He sadly doesn't upload anymore, but since the meta game (OU) has remained the same for the past ten years - *cough cough* - you can still find valuable information. 

  7. IGN: Astarmentor

    Motivation: Due to time (and life) I couldn't ever play on such organized events, however I would like to try. My background as a completely player lately: topped a seasonal in dobs, and last TT (Oct 2021) I went undefeated through all the rounds (finals included) with my team. I feel like I can manage my self emotionally under competitive pressure, and help other players to do so as well. I am no-stranger to the single formats neither.

    PSL seasons in which you participated as a player: None.

    PSL seasons in which you participated as a manager: None.
