Nomad, vagabond, call me what you will
It was an Other Meta of the Month.
oh, is it gone forever?
Unless it gets Other Metagame of the Month in a future month, yes.
i have 1 question and 1 report:
Q - How exactly works acc boost / drop ? as far as i know, hone claws = acc +1 adds 33% to the next attack, in my question, i used hone claws on tyrantrum and headsmash with 80 acc, should be 80 * 1.33 = 106,4 = dont miss. But it happened to miss 2 times in a battle on showdown and in another battle, my adversary used hone claws on his aerodactyl and its stone edge, also 80acc, missed. Is this some bug on showdown ? it never happened on any 3ds battle.
R- showdown allows rayquaza on ubers to use dragon ascent, it doesnt make sense, since you cant have this attack on rayquaza without making it mega evolve

meaning, as i said, rayquaza-normal shouldnt be able to have this attack -_-

the entire waruda machine
Meaning, as I said, Rayquaza simply cannot mega-evolve.
The move is required for Mega-Evolution, but does not automatically trigger mega-evolution. It works similarly to normal mega-evolutions in that you click the mega-evolution button on your screen to do it. Dragon's Ascent does not cause mega-evolution in any way, shape or form, it's just a requirement like Blastoisinite on Blastoise.
That doesn't necessarily justify Dragon Ascent being available to Rayquaza despite Mega Rayquaza being banned from Ubers. Sure, the "mega evolution" checkmark must be checked, but for pokemon like Mega Lucario and Mega Gengar who are banned from OU, their respective stones are banned from OU, effectively preventing them from mega evolution.
This is actually not true. Rayquaza is perfectly capable of not Mega Evolving when it knows Dragon Ascent - you have to CHOOSE to Mega Evolve. You can have a Glalie holding Glalitite and choose not to Mega Evolve it too. Even when you have the requirements to do it, Mega Evolution is a choice.
This has been fixed (to my knowledge).
If you mean battle music, then most probably not. I still hear gen 4 battle themes whenever I battle.
Hello, everyone. This is my first post ever in Smogon, so don't kill me if I do something wrong (please).
I'm trying to get into competitive meta-game, but I don't know the basics of what a complete team should have.
Please, help me build a team that works and performs as a whole! I'd be very thankfull.
Thanks in advance!

I didn't mean to sound rude, and I apologize if I did. Probably I didn't express myself very well. I'm not asking for someone to randomly generate a full team of Pokémon with all their moves and stuff. I was asking for some help to get into competitive gameplay!
I know there's the lead role, the sweeper, and that kind of stuff. I was asking if someone would kindly tell me the rest of the "positions" so I can start my own team.
Thanks for the response!
Yeeeeaaah that's the stuff! Definetely checking those smog articles. Thank you for the quick response, very helpful! :)
I've tried to get into a random battle this evening, only to find no matter how long I wait, it just continued "searching", not finding any opponents for me.
I was concerned that something was wrong with the network, so I wanted to know if this is a glitch that occasionally shows up, and will it probably be gone by tomorrow?
I know that I battled earlier today, so I don't know what it is that is suddenly making it fail to work.
I even tried an OU battle, only to find that that kept me waiting as well, with nothing to show for it.

Well, I'm relieved that the problem isn't on my end!
Thanks a whole lot for confirming that there is a bug in the system, and responding immediately! It feels good to know what is going on here!
Nah, now that I know the sim isn't working properly, that is enough for me. Besides, I'm gonna watching Agents of SHIELD soon, so I'm gonna just call it a day.
How do you change the cartoon-like sprites to the modern ones?

Generally speaking, you should try to avoid copypastas. In the future, if you get muted/locked/etc., and you feel it was unjust, you can post a Discipline Appeal.
