What type of bug are you reporting? Random Battles What is the bug? https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3randombattle-2044320815?p2 Skarmory has an illegal moveset. (Whirlwind + Drill Peck) Gen3 Random. Combinatorics of random battle moveset should check that Skarmory not get both...

Two Sets - Registeel and Linoone. Piggybacking off of the concept Registeel might be more viable than people think, (see BKC's latest viabilty video, about 50 minutes in): It has that unique mono-typing and stats that make it quite bulky (base 150s in each defense). And then you notice...wow...

Since I saw a mention of Dodrio in this thread... Wanted to share a quick story. Since I don't think BP should be banned or nerfed any more than it has...as a long time player of the tier. We should just learn to deal with things. So anyway...if BP is not nerfed this will be a bit more...

Yes to the strategy plus luck component! I mean…will opponents think someone is cheeky for using Thunder and Dynamicpunch on a mixed Jirachi? Well it actually can be a pretty good strategy the way I see it. Liking Zap Cannon Forry, too. I am pro Sand veil though. :o

I nominate Tentacruel to at least get some credit over pretty junky options (like Camerupt/Registeel/Lanturn) I always see popping up in these lists. I think it could be slotted into teams more. If Vaporeon is getting love in OU, Tentacruel should too. Here is to sharing ideas, right? The...

Hasty Aerodactyl? Why lower its defense? Use Jolly. It's an alright team for one that does not run Ttar. You might want Gengar or Calm Mind/Rest/Recover/HP Dark Sableye (lol) to block Rapid Spin. Good job on using Aero with Spikes, but you cannot capitalize unless you have Tar to make damage...

Umbreon trapping is nothing new. I'm surprised it is getting brought up. If you are experienced you will know how to handle it. The standard 6 team of Tar/Bliss/Skarm/Pert/Starmie/Gengar (no Taunt) would actually kind of be the only majorly viable team off the top of my head I wish had a...

Click it. ^ Swampert is very good mixed attacker, very good Mono-attacker, and very good Endeavor-er. Immunity to Electric is just wow. Nothing else in A or S rank has that. (Celebi resists, meh.) Defensively it still smacks Zapdos and everything pretty solidly. Torrent HPump, ya know? It...

Yes! Finally people will be wielding Sandslash, and ultimately, rank it higher than Donphan in OU viability! Try being creative ...sure Swords Dance is a nice niche...but remember it gets Focus Punch and think about that Speed to be faster than Swampert/usual Metagrosses, Tars, Blisseys...

Gen3 OU: Earlier in the summer I made this team. I do not ladder with it anymore. Hope you enjoy. Features include double Intimidate and pretty unique sets. As with anything, it is all in how the team is wielded it and if it fits the user's style. The at a glance, as displayed above, will show...

ADV OU - not that I think this poke is that viable but I'll sell it to you, here goes: Whitney's Miltank lol (F) @ Leftovers Ability: Thick Fat EVs: 236 HP / 216 Atk / 40 SpD / 16 Spe Adamant Nature - Body Slam - Shadow Ball - Milk Drink - Earthquake Context behind the set: Trying to be...

About Rock Slide hitting Cloyster: In the context of this sentence I do not believe it makes sense to include Cloyster. For one, every other mon mentioned is EQ immune, so using Rock Slide obivously results in non-zero damage comparatively when it hits. Also, while I do not disagree that...

Please refer to this replay - my question is about damage from an attack: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-1096132840 On turn 19 I question the damage that was possible with non-crit Flamethrower. I am the player with Miltank; it is Thick Fat. I do a damage calc and the strongest that...

Sick games for week 1. As an ADV enthusiast, I enjoyed watching the replays!

This is cool. The matrix has the Hariyama vs Jolteon lead as bad both ways? Probably a mistake. Also, are they supposed to be exact opposites, or is Hariyama vs Gengar "bad" and Gengar vs Hariyama "very good" acceptable, as I see it in the matrix? There might be a few others - for example I...

On the subject of the Endure+Salac strategy, which is totally legit and I get why people are bringing up, try giving Scizor a shot: SD/Silver Wind/HP Rock/Endure.

Triangles where tf is that video you said you were going to make about Raikou, lolol Raikou just needs too much support, we can't really hype it that much guys c'mon. Cuz in my mind it needs Sub and CM to make its niche. Which then gets me down a path of Dugtrio and Weather Changer and blah...

Raikou has more utility against Jirachi compared to most any of those mons listed. It at least is a more sensible phazer in general and can get into CM wars when Houndoom really cannot or would not be doing either of those things. (Neither Houndoom nor Raikou make good phazers, who am I...

OK thanks. Just wanted someone to clarify that it is "Faster Pokémon switch first" and not "Faster Pokémon switch in first," or something weird like that. I will not overlook switch order anymore, regardless! How about beginning of Turn 1? Is it random who sends out their Pokémon first at...

I was browsing and found the following in Policy Review: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/adv-switch-priority.3622189/ Since that thread seems dead and I cannot revive discussion there due to lack of privilege, I wanted to get some clarity on this subject, as it pertains to ADV. Because...
