Realistic dodging shakes up defender rankings
Major shifts in the rankings for defenders are coming soon to Pokebattler! Recently two new features were added to the battle simulator for Pokebattler that dramatically increases the accuracy of simulations. The first is the addition of dodge strategies to the...
There’s no useless grass Pokémon
Stock up on balls and berries and catch 'em all! Here's why every grass Pokémon can be useful in gyms: Exeggcute Exeggutor is one of the best attackers against Vaporeon. Also good against Snorlax and Blissey. Bulbasaur Venusaur is a great attacker against Vaporeon....
What’s a Gen 7 Buff?
A Gen 7 Buff (like a Gen 6 Buff) is a stat buff change to Pokemon from Gens 1-5. It could also mean new moves that a Pokemon can now learn in Gen 7 (such as Mantine now being able to learn Roost and Flygon now being able to learn Dragon Dance), but that doesn’t...
Made a simple tip sheet for the Grass Event
Hey there! I decided to make a simple tip sheet for the Grass Event. Unfortunately, this was made by me and not my girlfriend so it has a noticeable drop in aesthetic quality. I decided to say "any" for Exeggutor's fast attacks because of what you use Exeggutor for...
The Blisssey Beatdown Chart
Made a chart a while ago for my team page and my gf basically took it from F tier to A class. Since I know people are going to nit-pick, I understand that other Pokemon can be used to fight Blissey and other movesets are serviceable. I just featured some key mons and...

Underrated Prestigers #3: Noctowl is the new Pidgeot
TL;DR: Noctowl is a very tanky generalist prestiger and it packs a punch against Snorlax. Some long-time players may remember the times when Pidgeot with Wing Attack / Hurricane was considered the best commonly available prestiger. In particular it was excellent...
Dittostrat 2.0: Wigglytuff is still the best prestiger against Ditto (assuming no switching)
I made a simple calculator that shows how Wigglytuff is the 9th-fastest and the 5th-most revive-efficient prestiger against Ditto. Assumptions: - We are going for 1000 prestige, so we need to attack a level-N Ditto with a level-N/2 Pokémon. - No attacker...
Underrated Prestigers #2: Don’t sleep on Raticate! (Gen2 version)
This is the second post in the Underrated Prestigers series (first post here: Lanturn and Poliwrath). Before Gen2 release, everyone knew that catching Rattata was not only useful for the Youngster medal, but with Bite / Hyper Beam it was actually a good...
Underrated Prestigers #1: Lanturn and Poliwrath can satisfy 80% of your prestiging needs
This is the first post in a series that I will call Underrated Prestigers. I wrote this first post during the Water Festival, so the main characters are two Water Pokémon: Lanturn and Poliwrath. According to my CP efficiency calculator, these are their relative...
