A reminder that Smogon Tour this weekend will be in the
post-DLC2 SS OU metagame!
Also, a reminder for Americans that clocks change on Sunday.
I am aware that this is a very fresh tier and not everyone who normally would participate will be as familiar with it as the old metagame, but here are some relevant pieces of information for those wishing to participate:
- In this thread you can find information on the Pokemon we elected to unban for the start of the metagame.
- In this thread you can find information on the first two quickbans, Genesect and Nagandel, who will not be allowed in Smogon Tour later this week.
- In this thread you can find a list of Pokemon deemed viable by myself and some other OU moderators.
- It is far from an official list and I implore everyone to try out their own ideas in this fresh metagame of course, but it can be used as a reference for those who would like it when building teams or learning about the metagame.
- In this thread you can find replays from the first ever DLC2 SS OU tournament, hosted by Smogon's nicest user TPP. Most of them are from the metagame with Genesect and Nagandel, but it still gives some practical examples.
- I am going to do my best to get up a Sample Teams thread in the OU subforum tomorrow so that people can have teams or some reference going in to Smogon Tour Friday, too!
If anyone has questions about what is usable or specifics about the metagame, feel free to ask anytime. I am hoping that this weekend can help develop the early metagame and also be a fun time for everyone participating
