Hi all
Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts. -

Yes hello, as it turns out, EK has let me know he's a little too busy with his IRL obligations atm so im gonna head this CCAT for the forseeable future. If and when he comes back to claim it, i'll happily hand it back over!
Right now we're doin an
RBY OU CCAT
~~~
Persian
- Slash
- Bubblebeam
- Hyper Beam
- Thunderbolt / Screech
Persian using Bubblebeam wasn't a freakin joke yo.... With Persians speed, its very easily capable of critting a lot of the tiers slower, popular, threats like Exeggutor and Chansey. Bubblebeam can really bring down RBY's T-Wave immunitys in Golem and Rhydon and at the same time deal massive damage to them. Hyper Beam at the end because it's a very capable move when mons are weakened, but not enough so for Slash to do the job. It also does not worry about charge up if the opponent is KO'd. Lastly, Screech can help us defeat bulkier mons by lowering their Defense so that Hyper Beam can finish em off if they're fast enough for the not guaranteed crit like switch in Starmie! Think that's how it works. If Screech isnt your cup then T-Bolt is a nice alternative to hit Cloyster hard as well. Not all's peachy keen for the boss' cat though. Gengar can wall this set quite heartily as BB wont do so much. It's also quite frail so it won't be taking hits all too well, but due to its great speed and Slashs' high crit chance, chances are, you'll be gettin a crit against much slower threats. It's meant to be a late game sweeper though and as most mons in this tier do, does NOT enjoy paralysis as it neuters this cat pretty hard as it is heavily dependent on its speed.
Exeggutor
- Sleep Powder
- Psychic
- Explosion
- Stun Spore / Mega Drain
Exeggutor is very potent! One of the most obvious things it does for us is grant us status, a must have here in OU RBY. It also switches into anythin from Gengar as it resists everything it can feasibly run offensively. Exploding on us means Persian has one less thing to take its hits, but Hypnosis could be troublesome. Doublestatus helps to make any switch in switch in with fear as it cripples things like Zam and Starmie, and in general spreading status is the name of the game in RBY, especially to help make a point of Persians speed along with just being supportive in general. Explosion is nifty to take down Chansey and at worst, dent any other switch in. Stun Spore is slashed with Mega Drain as one, it definitely makes a mess of Golem/Rhydons switching in looking to take a predict Explosion and can heal up a lot in doing so. Though we do currently run Bubblebeam and Psychic so it's not too necessary, just an option.
Dragonite
- Agility
- Wrap
- Thunder Wave
- Fire Blast
Okay, so this set is really broken. Use agility and then wrap your opponents to death. Absolutely nothing can get past this borked strategy other than Gengar. (Which still immobilizes him, but deals no damage) This is just as borked as Shedinja with Sturdy and Endeavor/Shadow Sneak/ESpeed in Hackmons! :O
~~~
Alrighty so here's where we left off, we have Persian with Bubblebeam and T-Bolt to help water down rocks and roast bulkier mons like Cloyster/Gyarados/Starmie and the like. Though its main purpose is a late/mid game sweep for with its crittin capabilities. The BB and T-Bolt coverage may prove to be especially helpful for Dragonites attempts to wrap things up. Exeggutor to help patch things up defensively by spreading status and scaring threats such as Gengar and Zammer and exploding on annoying mons like Chansey. Though its best not to explode to early! The slash between Stun Spore and Mega Drain is important though as Mega Drain makes very quick work and is more ensurance against rocks and bulky waters, but Stun Spore is equally important for the very well appreciated paralysis. Lastly, we have Dragonite to paralyze the opponent the only other way gen 1 allows! By havin em all wrapped up and slowly losing their health. That's 3 mons. But what is the other? It's time to get back at it!

Cause we'll deff get a suggestion by then! I'll be quite worried if not...

Artistically angry
Starmie
- Blizzard
- Thunderbolt
- Recover
- Thunder Wave/Psychic/Hydro pump
Recommending Starmie, as we need an ice switch in (looking at you Cloyster) and doubling up on psychics doesn't double any weaknesses in this tier. Starmie is also great defensively thanks to recover and thunderwave. However Psychic and Hydro Pump are Stab options that open up super effective coverage as Thunderbolt and Blizzard have perfect neutral coverage in generation one.

I shall be posting the war team today or tomorrow. Hold onto ur butts and no crying! I'll PM all of you whom are on it just to ensure you're up for it.
Also, I wanna post Chansey as a teammate, but I like Starmies speed and power over her. Plus it scares out Tauros with T-Wave.
2 more peeps for the tourney
cmon, dont u wanna use stinky mons??

aka
THE WAR TEAM
These VO membs were tested by me, shown via constant and consistent battling and battling prowess, activity, and past war experience that they wanted to make and were ready for the team. There were more of you who wanted on, I know, but unfortunately the usual cap is 5. It was hard to pick some over the others, very. Though next teams id love to allow new faces on as well. If you'd really like to be on, let it be known! Battle a lot and whatnot and I and others'll be sure to notice. PM or VM me for any questions. I do plan on having more wars sooner than usual! These sparse wars gotta be a thing of the past! The subsquad have been picked as well, no worries. We have two in Regi_Rocks and Conquer Phoenix. Both are readily willing to sub and fight for our name as well from what ive tested and they've proved.
Now that you've all been picked, we'll be warrin RoF! All we gotta do is go over a few more deets, write up a thread, go over it, and we're set! Till then, all of you do stay sharp, and I mean really sharp! You've got it in you, I do solemnly believe.

Here we got the star of the OU show, Starmie! As stated above, this mons Psychic type's a blessing rather than a boon to double up on as Psychics are free to spam this gen, pretty much. It's boltbeam coverage ensures it can can get a good hit in on anything that isn't super bulky like Snorlax and Chansey. Blizzard has 90% accuracy here as well and the added 10% frz chance to our arsenal is basically a 10% chance to KO a mon as you all know. Another paralysiser that can threaten and outpace things such as Tauros and wall Zam is always appreciated, but be warned as the second one there'll feel obligated to share some T-Waves to. Should you feel we've got enough of those waves flying around, the best offensive typing in the game; Psychic, is always a viable option to run for damage. Hydro Pump is good to OHKO Golem and Rhydon as Blizzard misses out. Also it's very important as an ice resist, cant forget that!

Nomming mandatory tauros.
Tauros
- Body Slam
- Hyper Beam
- Earthquake
- Blizzard
Seriously though, tauros is everywhere. Just a solid mon overall that takes advantage of paralysis spread and Persian who weakens tauros checks. These 4 moves are all Tauros needs to sweep late or mid game hax permitting.

Rhydon
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Substitute
- Body Slam
Right now, Zapdos and electric friends I think can cause us problems and so can strong Normal moves. As Zapdos and Jolteon both pack moves and status to hurt our only resist for them; Exegg, hard enough to be an annoyance. This here Rhydon should be able to help alleviate those things and with the para support coming from a lot of our team, it can even make a fantastic offensive threat coupled with its STABs and inability to get paralyzed from Thunder Wave effectively neutralizing a lot of Electric types just by sittin on its rocky behind in the field. EarthSlide coverage is STAB and apparently Rhydons EQ is the strongest non-drawback physical move in the game whilst Substitute can be used to take advantage of paralysis or switch outs. Body Slam is last to help spread paralysis as well! As you all know, Water and Grassers like Lapras and Exeggutor can cause this super old mon to drop so be sure to deal with them accordingly before committing to Rhydon in-battle!
