This is your daily reminder that smogon is a festering shitpile. Thank you.

Randomizing my password so I stop logging onto this site and subjecting myself to the sheer stupidity of smogon.

Oh, I know Ill be ignored. Im just explaining what the most obvious and sensible solution is.

None of those abilities literally prevent spin or defog from taking effect. Give Gholdengo a special-type Defiant, thats fine. Then the defog user gets slammed for a bad predict, thats fine. Of if the String Cheese Man hadnt been conveniently immune to both spin moves now available. Too bad we...

If I had unlimited control, I would probably remove defog from corv entirely and give it to squishier offensive threats. There should be a risk reward to clicking defog that isn't present with corv since it can freely click the move with little downside unless they have zone or something...

I havnt seen this being discussed much, but at some point I hope Good as Gold pops up on the radar to be examined. I see a hazard stacking metagame with no way to clear the field emerging, and it feels quite unpleasant to play. The ability in general just shutting down all status moves directed...

Terrastalizing has been a bit underwhelming to me. Its not the automatic KO machine it was being hyped up as going in, and honestly reading the entire thread I feel like theres a solid group of people who want it gone because its different and creates a new metagame. Its normal for most games to...

Thanks! Im glad to hear DPP is remaining unchanged. I was quite puzzled what metagame it would count for.

So there is a DPP remake, and I dont know much if anything about it to be honest, but is the metagame going to change on the ladder to reflect the new changes? If so when? And is there a list of moveset changes somewhere?

Ive been using this Metagross alongside stock standards to great success: Metagross @ Leftovers Ability: Clear Body EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Adamant Nature - Ice Punch - Bullet Punch - Pursuit - Hammer Arm The idea is to take on Latios\Alakazam which are everywhere and pick...

Thanks for the replies! I will try that.

Well sure it exists, but if I have to hunt down usernames to challenge, or find\make room tournaments (dont know what this is) I dont see how I can really play a game of it easily

So basically its not supported...doh.

How do I play DPP Ubers? I just made a team but cannot see any way to use it in the formats tab...there is gen 4 OU but not gen 4 ubers

Is there a ladder tier that has no cheat pokemon? No megas, no legendaries, no ubers.
