  1. Ask A Simple Question, Get A Simple Answer - Pokemon Showdown! Edition

    Is it normal for servers to automatically shut down if no one is connected to them? I'm trying to figure out if my hosting service is killing my processes.
  2. Banning Pokemon & Ability combinations:

    So you're proposing we only tier formes separately for ban tiers and not usage tiers, right? I still don't like it because it causes headaches whenever something with multiple abilities drops into UU because we'd need to test the abilities separately for BL.
  3. Banning Pokemon & Ability combinations:

    So what's the basis for tiering wobuffet formes differently but not breloom formes?
  4. Banning Pokemon & Ability combinations:

    Then why are we tiering wobuffet and shaymin formes separately if we're not tiering breloom formes separately? What is the line for which formes are tiered together and which are not?
  5. Banning Pokemon & Ability combinations:

    But if we consider all abilities as alternate formes then doesn't that mean we have to tier all of them separately? Does that make effect spore breloom allowed in UU since only poison heal breloom is OU? Hustle Togekiss? That's where things get complicated.
  6. Banning Pokemon & Ability combinations:

    I'm not against blanket ability bans but I am against banning <ability> only on <pokemon> because it makes the rules way too complicated. New players shouldn't need to consult a spreadsheet to play competitively.

  8. How to handle different rulesets

    How is miracle shooter a crapshoot? There's no luck involved at all. It just adds another layer of strategy. That said, I don't think anyone wants MS to be the standard metagame but a lot of people want a separate ladder for it. On another subject, I agree with SDS that we need to emulate...

    This would be pretty cool for an alternate metagame. I hope we get a ladder for it when pokemon lab gets 5th get in.
  10. B&W Research Thread

    If Kaphotics only did 10 eggs with an eccentric ditto, I wouldn't call that conclusive. Anyone who's bred pokemon with two abilities knows that going 10 eggs in a row with the same ability really isn't that uncommon. I'd imagine he's correct though because otherwise we'd get all DW abilities...

    I have played in a competitave environment where OHKOs were allowed and I have to say that mindreader sheer cold really isn't as impressive as it sounds. In practice it functions as a weird pHaze since no one in their right mind stays in on the mindreader and it doesn't hit often enough without...

    The thing is, Wobbuffet can set up anyone whereas Chanderaa can only set up itself. There are also a lot more pokemon Wobbuffet can set up on/kill due to it's bulk combined with counter and mirror coat. Chanderaa has far less options and is easily revenge killed even with 6 calm minds.

    His design is amazing, I must use him.

    There's an entire topics worth of arguments about how this doesn't reduce skill or prediction so I'm not going to argue about it here.

    Can't find the link atm but I'm 100% sure someone confirmed that you do see teams in FC battles.

    Wrong.
  17. Chandelure

    With all those common weaknesses, low hp, mediocre def, and lowish spe, he's going to have a hard time sweeping even if you do manage to set up 6 calm minds. Forretress frequently carries earthquake and can just explode to screw your setup. Nattorei has leech seed, payback, toxic, and can also...

    It probably won't come to that anyway since I highly doubt chandera will be uber with shadow tag. Wobbuffett is uber because of the combination of shadow tag, his bulk, and having encore/tickle. Not just because of shadow tag. Arena trap is almost the same ability yet dugtrio and trapinch are...

    ^not everything with good recoil moves needs to have an ability to take advantage of them.
