  1. Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    I've just had a Rapid Spin that hit the enemy, did damage, but didn't blow away the Stealth Rock. The recoil damage from the enemy's Rough Skin killed my Rapid Spinner, but that shouldn't matter as long as the move hits, right? http://www.pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-17501281
  2. Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

    Found a likely bug involving Zoroark and team display - after KOing the enemy's Zoro without breaking its illusion, the team status display doesn't show the Zoroark as fainting, instead indicating that the Pokemon it was transformed into was KOed...
  3. rain dance in the 5 gen

    I can say that using Rain Dance on another Pokemon can be fantastic, especially in the higher levels where your foe might very well be toting a weather inducer as well. I recently snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when, even though I managed to take out the foe's auto-weather and put up...
  4. Level-Balance Tournament Round 3

    Confirming that Dummy007 beat me twice with a legit team. Rain > Sand
  5. rain dance in the 5 gen

    I'm tired of Politoed leads on DW, they're the most uninteresting thing. The other day somebody actually used the move Rain Dance on me in Wifi, I was so happy even though I ended up getting beaten.
  6. Chandelure

    Your opponent switches to Espeon on the first turn, gg. Honestly, all these gimmick/boosting sets seem to me to be neglecting Shandera's most valuable asset: the ability to switch in on, outspeed, and OHKO common threats like Nattorei, Scizor, and Breloom, even in the Wifi tier. The most...
  7. Level-Balance Tournament Round 2

    Probably gonna need an extension, unlikely to be able to battle before midnight
  8. Hydreigon

    I tried Sazandora for a bit, but with Robushin and Lucario and Infernape everywhere, a fighting-weak Dragon is nothing but fodder.
  9. Magic Bounce

    When a Magic Mirror Pokemon uses a status move on another Magic Mirror Pokemon, it reflects and hits the original user of the move.
  10. Snorlax

    There's always other options Snorlax can take, and he does have a nice movepool; I once ran a Whirlwind/Curse/Rest/Return Snorlax in Gen IV and it worked fantastically despite the lack of coverage since it could just phaze out anything it couldn't handle. Although I don't think that's going to...
  11. Zoroark

    Why would they switch to something with a fighting move? Zoroark's pathetic 60/60/60 defenses are such that it can't even take a decent neutral hit - why bother switching (and giving that monster 120 SpAtk a free hit) when any STABed attack will do just fine? Just whack it with Surf or...
  12. Shedinja

    It's obviously a joke set
  13. Zoroark

    The issue here is that neither Gengar or Zoroark are bulky enough to require super-effective attacks to take down. One solid neutral hit will drop Gengar just fine, and even resisted attacks will hit Zoroark pretty hard. I wouldn't give up Gengar's STAB, either - it's frail enough that it's in...
  14. Zoroark

    Zoroark might actually be a good idea as an Espeon counter on staller teams - disguise it as an obvious Spiker like Forretress, and people will immediately switch to Espeon in an attempt to prevent it from laying down hazards...only to eat a Dark Pulse instead.

    tomorrow night?
  18. Wonder Launcher

    Honestly, I think this'll be great as a wallbreaker, and I also think that's more of the original idea. No more fifty-turn PP stalls, because even if you're stuck and can't do anything against the enemy wall, those points will build up and can give you a shot at breaking through. It's also...
  19. tomorrow night or the night after?

    tomorrow night or the night after?
  20. Shedinja

    Claw Sharpen is the only legal attack-boosting move on a Baton Pass Shedinja. This is because both Swords Dance and Baton Pass are on Ninjask's moveset, and Shedinja is only able to learn one move from Ninjask's moveset.. Since I just trained a cartridge Shedinja the other day, I'll give a quick...
