Hello, I've done some quick searching here and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for, so I'm going to ask whether it exists. Is there an HTTP/SOAP API one can use to get Smogon tier usage data? I'm not looking for a statistics UI or tool, I'm looking for a way to get at the raw usage...

I'm beginning a project to convert the Showdown node.js server implementation to C# ASP.NET. I believe it makes sense for me to use Visual Studio for this project (I'm downloading a node.js tools package from codeplex as I write this) but I'm curious: what IDE do you (current Showdown developers...

Thank you!

Instead of "go away" it would be nice if you could link me to the right location to discuss this. "PM a mod" isn't terribly helpful. Thanks.

The point is that anyone with a brain can build around these weaknesses. Stealth rock weakness? Run Rapid Spin / Defog users. Mediocre speed? Run Sticky Web users. With two supporting Pokemon, you have removed the majority of the reasons this isn't considered Uber. Type match-ups? Again, just...

Tell me again why this thing isn't in Ubers? - Scarf Kyurem can sweep teams late game without setup (see Talonflame) - Substitute Kyurem can setup on a bad match-up and sweep without boosts - Banded Kyurem breaks any wall that doesn't resist it (namely, Ferrothorn) without boosts. If I am...

Also, substitute?

Knock Off ruins this thing after the Steel nerf, even with its great defense: I'd say the Trick Room and YOLOgross sets have the most upside. Scarf and Band seem pretty meh considering Choice lock isn't that great in Doubles; Anti-Intimidate is basically the Physical Attacker set so I'm not...

I disagree that Mega-Venusaur needs its own set when the EV, nature, moves and (most of) its usage will remain the same. Venasaurite should either be slashed or OO.

All sounds good. I'm definitely aware that Vivillon plays a very specific role and mention in the skeleton that it has poor base stats. I'll be sure to emphasize this in the write up.

second sub please :3

Thanks, added to OO for now. I messed around testing with Helping Hand and have never been a fan of the move. I'd much rather have Dusclops do something disruptive than just sit around and buff its partner. If others have more success with the move on Dusclops then it should be moved into the...

Thanks, I've changed the name.

Aside from the third set not having Substitute, how? Use great resistances / bulk to switch in or soak attacks, hit with a STAB move when possible, switch out against Ground-types. I think they are similar enough to be merged and to just talk about the different usage in Usage Tips.

Keep your stupid Reaper Cloth. OVERVIEW ######## Outstanding defensive stats. Eviolite raises its impressive defenses to absurd heights. Low speed makes for a great defensive Trick Room user. Access to utility moves in Will-O-Wisp and Confuse Ray. Poor offensive stats require reliance on Night...

Can the third set now be merged with the first? They use the same EV spread, ability, items, nature....

It does this to any Pokemon running Heat Wave really. If your team gets wrecked by this move in particular, Powder is an option. Yep, see the Friend Guard set earlier in the thread. I'll add this to OO.

Compound Eyes is what makes this set work. Running Friend Guard sets Sleep Powder and Hurricane's accuracy to 75% and 70% respectively... not sufficiently accurate to work. There is probably a (very) small niche for Friend Guard set for teams that heavily struggle against Special Attacks...

I understand that Poliwrath isn't exactly a world beater, but the wording suggests that there are no Pokemon that share this typing. It would be better to have a more accurate statement, such as Rare Water / Fighting typing... or Unique to its tier, its Water / Fighting typing....

Poliwrath says hi.
