  1. CAP 7 CAP 7 - Part 4 - Style Bias Poll 1

    Offesnsive because I feel the role of a scout should be that its fast, but is a giant glass cannon,

  2. CAP 7 CAP 7 - Part 5 - Ability Discussion

    Fear Switch:What bout an ability that when the user uses Whirlwind or Roar, it has normal priority instead of the - priority though if not implemented correctly, would cause it to be too broken, and kinda forces the user to have at least 1 of those two moves but I feel both moves go towards the...

  4. CAP 7 CAP 7 - Concept Submissions

    Name:Non-UBER Mew Description: A Pokemom who can do anything and everything, just not making it UBER Mew is an interesting pokemon in that it is the only pokemon that can do everything, but due to it stats and movepool it is UBER. The challenge of CAP7 would be to make mew non uber by either...

  5. Deoxys-D Discussion - It's not all about speed.

    Does Deoxys-D have enough speed to taunt without any Speed EV'S? Most sets are giving it HP and Def, if you give it enough speed to taunt, then where are the EV's being taking out of to compromise? I sense Def, therefore does Deoxys damage calcs need to consider it won't be at max DEF?

  6. The New Face of UU

    well this is part of my point If this were to happen, nothing but more testing would occur. I suppose eventually all 493 pokemon will be given i teir, maybe we should look at it like that? Right now the way it is set up UBER-banlist for competitive play OU-The current (IIRC ) 20% of the...

  7. The New Face of UU

    What happens when OU changes? Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe there has not been recheck on the OU where at least 1 pokemon was removed. So if a pokemon in January is found to be OU, but then drops out of OU in March, will it be added to UU or that magical ban list? If it is...

  8. New (and hopefully correct) method of measuring centralisation in a metagame

    nice, but I'm confused at one part Central = 100 x sqrt(Sum_i((U_i/U) - (1/P))^2) Am i reading the formula wrong, or are you square rooting a square? also on a side note, what is Sum_i? I guess are you doing this U-I - 1/P sum_i of that square that or u-I - 1/P sqaure that then do sum_i...

  9. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 15

    can someone try and explain this to me Stage 3: Analysis of all the Suspects in the standard metagame with the knowledge of which are considered Uber and OU in a Suspect-free metagame. what exactly is stage 3? Does that mean once stage 1 and two are done, drop all the suspects (wether they...

  10. Measure of centralisation in a metagame

    nice job X- Act just a question we've seen that if all F = O we get 0, but does the same thing happen if all pokemon were used in an equal balance? (aka every pokemon from bulbasaur to Shymin minus UBERS) was used 5000 times each) this will never happen, but in theory if it did happen F and O...

  12. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 15

    Is it possible for a pokemon to be UU and OU at the same time, just hypothetically saying? Just for example, right now Froslass in UU But pretending hail teams all of a sudden became a huge thing, and froslass became part of the upper 20% in usage (aka being OU, would it automatically be banded...

    how do you access the suspect and standard servers for shoddy? All i see is official server, and if i use advance server smogon.com port 50000 is smogon the standard? how do you access the suspect?

  14. Now batting in the World Series of Pokemon Suspects: Shaymin-S!

    in regards to having the rating reset Reasons are It's unfair to battlers that don't want to participate in the vote, and there's no reason to. If you've got to that rating you earned it. Why earn it over and over again? well as said above, if you have said hi rating, then your not forced to...

  15. Best Stats Receiver

    People keeps saying such and such pokemon is the best to recive BP because its receiveing +2 attack and + 2 speed (from ninjask) What if its only receiving +2/+4 speed, then who is the best choice?

  16. Is gabite banned from standard play?

    I know that with NFE's only pokemon that differ extremely from there FE formed can be different teirs, or are treated differently (porgyon2/Z Raichu/Pikachu Scyther/Scizor) So by definition, Gabite would be UBER? Clearly it doesn't have the stats for OU, so no one would use it anyway, but is...

  17. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 14

    now that Garchomp testing is done, what is next? Stealth Rock? Deoxys-E? Lati@s? Other? Or are we waiting to see how platinum effects the metagame?

  18. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 14

    Is Dark Void Banned in doubles battles, where the settings are uncontrolled? Aka Not PBR where it has a Sleep Clause Setting, but like a normal DS battle

  19. Interested in starting a metagame that combines all/most tiers

    Though this would only be able to be used on a system like shoddy, right? I mean with the DS auto level, its hard to enforce this. If it can't be done on every battle system, isn't the metagame doomed to fail?
