Welcome

The Cat Planet Pokemon Battle Station is a repository of useful resources by and for experienced competitive battlers.
Originally solely a new tiering system (which you can find details for on the About page) to help stabilize the Generation 5 metagame, it has since expanded to include work on creating battle sets for all Gen 5 Pokemon, as well as previous generation Pokemon that got new abilities and moves with Gen 5, or now sit in a new tier and play totally differently.

You can see each new set as it comes in below at 5pm GMT every day, with the newest first, while links on the tierlist pages for each Pokemon shows all currently available sets for it. These are written with the assumption of at least a basic understanding of terminology used in the metagame, but much of it is self-explanatory, so hopefully newer players won’t be confused quite so easily.

If you wish to help out, as we intended everyone be able to, you can submit your own battle sets here. Alternatively you can join 420chan IRC or Cat Planet IRC to help with deciding the suspect list each month, or join our Pokemon Online server (420chan/PBS on the registry) to do some suspect testing or just battle with us for fun.
We also offer a Forum for organising collaborative projects, discussing site matters, getting criticism on sets or teams, and just general idle chit chat. Be sure to check it out.

So have a look around, comment away, and hopefully you’ll find something useful here to help you with team-building or know what to expect from this largely uncharted metagame.

Lots of love,
420chan /po/
