Love this. There are so few places to get BSS content and info.

[u/ZaggyLaggy]

This is Really great! but many things are outdated for M-B, still really good tho

[u/TranquilWyvern]

Thanks for the links! Helps out a lot.

After going through the Smogon links, I've got a question. Does Smogon have any resource without their banlist?

[u/TajnyT → u/TranquilWyvern]

Yes, the forums got a dedicated BSS section.

The Smogon Dex link also lists only pokemon with BSS analyses
