Because some of us actually managed to go their entire Smogon career without ever noticing it and are now feeling a tad bit silly
Ok soo I'm running a defensive Clefable set with Calm Mind, Moonlight, Moonblast, and Fire Blast, with a Bold nature and Leftovers, and I can't decide if I should run Unaware or Magic Guard. I'm also having a hard time between Fire Blast or Thunder Wave. Also while I'm here, which would be a better Defogger? Crobat or Mandibuzz? Thanks!

I recommend you go with magic guard on clef. Also you should either replace fire blast with t wave, or use flamethrower. T wave is more popular ATM but flamethrower is an option there. As for the spread, I recommend you use the standard cm clef spread you can find on the smogon analysis page for clefable. And mandibuzz is a better defogger in ou than crobat, at least in my opinion, so I'd go with that.
volcanion is now usable on showdown
What is Weavile stall? Is there some kind of defensive Weavile set I haven't heard about?
basically ABR's goth stall team with band weavile>goth.
it's utility mega sableye+standard amoonguss+physdef skarmory (you can run spdef if u want a better matchup v mgarde)+rocks chansey+curse or encore quagsire+banded weavile with pursuit
Hmmm, ok. Thanks for that.
Looking on ideas/ potentialfor a volcanoron set to partner with band kyuream-b. Balanced/ offensive team build, with aim to smash walls and pick off whats left with speedy sweepers like raikou. Plz and thanks in advance
Jellicent @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 168 SpD / 88 Spe OR 252 HP / 212 SpD / 44 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Will-O-Wisp / Toxic
- Recover
- Taunt / Hex / Toxic
Only ever use the second EV spread if you forgo Wisp and make sure to run Taunt if you do this. The first spread beats Belly Drum Azu iirc and the second beats Uninvested Alomomola so that you can Taunt it. Colbur eases the matchup versus Tyranitar and allows it to cheese past the best support Volcanion can have if it carries Wisp, while if it doesn't it can at least escape it once (if you do this pair it with Duggy to trap Tyranitar or something).
if i let the opponent's chari-x get 2 dd boost, is it game over for me??
or is still possible to save the match??
or is still possible to save the match??
Priority to revenge kill it? Prankster Thunder Wave? Quagsire? Random Sash mons? Force it to suicide with Rocky Helmet+Rough Skin+Endure Garchomp?
I want to know what pokemon are most common in OU, but there are four different .txt files for usage stats in OU. What differences are there between them? What are the differences between the three percentages? What file or percentage do I use?

they respond to different areas of the ou ladder, i like to use the 1695 stats personally because it has a reasonably large sample size while still having competent players.
Yep sounds good
powerherb solartran is a cool one. Also, most offensive faries, particularly mgarde and mdiancie work well with it.
edit: also pursuit tarpers are nice since lati twins are annoying

How would one go about calculating the technical base stat of a Pokémon with Huge Power? For example, Azumarill's base Attack is really the equivalent of base 150 because of Huge Power according to its page. How is that calculated? I'm doubting that it's as simple as base stat times three.
Am I the only one who finds teams harder to build the more defensive you make them? Its been on my mind recently, and the pattern that I've noticed with teambuilding is that I find consistent stall/semistall really hard to build, consistent balance challenging but doable and consistent BO/HO are complete childsplay a lot of the time. Is this just a me thing, or is the ORAS meta geared that way for others as well?
