In the wake of the Swagger Clause, we've had a number of complaints regarding the effect that Mega Gengar and by extension Shadow Tag has in Ubers. Some even called for them to be removed from the metagame. However, as you know, Ubers is and always has been incredibly cautious when it comes to...

This is an issue that's been boiling over recently. Especially since OU introduced their Swagger Clause, I've been getting inundated with requests for Ubers to do the same. As you're all aware, Ubers is historically very cautious when it comes to implementing any sort of clause, let alone ban...

Some of you may be aware of a strategy going around that can force battles to continue indefinitely. This involves using Leppa Berry with Heal Pulse, Recycle, a healing move (such as Slack Off or Soft-Boiled) and Block/Mean Look/Spider Web. Fortunately only Slowpoke, Slowbro, Slowking, Blissey...

As you may have noticed, a few sections of the Pokemon Showdown forums have been removed or moved back to the Smogon forums. Showdown is the best Pokemon simulator on the internet and Smogon is the best competitive Pokemon forum. This move is therefore to ensure that the two can continue to...

I'm sure there are some secret talents around Smogon that many of us don't know about, be it sporting, academic, gaming or something else completely. What do you think that you are genuinely one of the best at? If worldwide is too limiting, is there anything where you are among the best on a...
