I noticed there isn't anything related to banned items, like Soul Dew or Bright Powder.
Also I found this, which hasn't been updated to reflect if Kyurem-B or Kyurem-W are banned.

Pokemon Showdown! runs perfectly on my tablet, and it's a pretty crappy 90€ one.
Your iPad should be able to handle the simulator well.
Not quite a question but more of a suggestion:
Since the OU CCAP Project actually got closed due to impossibility to decide for one playstyle, how about everyone that actually still wants to create a team about "their strategy" just opens up a new thread, naming it something like: "CCAP-Lite: *insert Random strategy here*".
I personally wasn't a fan of neither Sun-Stall nor Quick-Stall (since I'm a notorious offensive player), so I'm likely not going to join any of them, but I guess this idea would find a lot of positive feedback, as both sides already made quite some comments about what makes their teams that effective and I would like to see that they actually get the chance to move further.
Have fun with that-

iOS has a history of not playing ball with web-browser based applications. Anyone know if it works with iOS 5 or iOS 6 on iPad and or iPhone?
looking for a list pokemon that could work in a duel weather sun/rain team, been a while since i have played so i need a little hand to brush up on my knowlage
Anything with acess to Fire moves and Hurricane/Thunder should do well
Off the top of my head, Dragonite, Volcarona, Moltres all get Hurricane and supa powaful fire moves, while Rotom-H gets Overheat and Thunder.
Genesect provides u-turn support, as well as packing thunder or maybe flamethrower, but really sect fits anywhere.malomyotismon said:
irnoic that moltress was my first pick for some loving, as a rappid spinner what ould be best?, i am thinking starmie for offensive presence
Starmie is a good idea but Moltres and Starmie do share an Electric Weakness. Maybe Donphan / Foretress?
donphan is the better compromise between the two and helps with dragons
and it means i don't need to use dugtrio
Or we could just wait and see if they come out with a better format; I don't think Electrolyte will stop trying to run a CCAT-like project just because this one stalled in an early phase. Maybe I'm wrong, but even if I am I think it's better to wait some days and see how the situation settles.

Banned deucer.
Yeah, Electrolyte will probably come back in a couple weeks with another CCAT thread, and hopefully this time he'll base what playstyle we run on voting instead of arbitrary discussion that we can't tally up on a chalkboard and determine the winner from there.
CCAT is a big project and I don't think a "Lite" version of it will be very successful.

yeah, CCAT is definitely coming back. The mods and I are brewing over some changes that we still have to decide on. Still, it shouldn't take too long~
You could say that the first one was a test-run, because there were some ideas that were not really thought out thoroughly nor tested as successful. Hopefully, it won't happen again. I'm glad you guys are all so excited about this!

What does everyone think of this set for a Mew? I based it off of what I think is a very effective Reuniclus set in OU, and can now be used by Mew effectively in UU.
Mew@Leftovers
252 HP/252 Def/4 SpD
Nature: Bold
Moves:
~Psyshock/Psychic
~Focus Blast
~Calm Mind
~Softboiled
This set is exactly the same as the Reuniclus counterpart, and while Mew may have other sets it can pull off that Reuniclus can't, such as a Nasty Plot set, this Mew aims to be an extremely bulky tank with it's 100/100/100 defenses being complemented by continual Calm Mind boosts. I've played with this a few times in UU and it seems to do its job well, tanking hits well while simultaneously proving to be a major offensive force after only one or two Calm Minds. However, it is completely walled by Psychic types and has speed problems, but I think it could be a new and effective set for Mew. Although I'm not sure how impressive it is coming up with a new set for one of the most versatile Pokemon in the game. What do you guys think of this set on Mew?

hmm okay so if i look at it theoretically first glance, the set seems okay, but i don't see a lot going for it. it doesn't have the speed and typing of say latias, so as a subCMer or support/CM it's out. it doesn't have the stats of meloetta-A or keldeo, so as an all-out offensive CMer, it's out. and if compared to reuniclus, reuniclus has one gigantic advantage: magic guard means it's basically status proof, where as mew cannot break stall with its cm set because it'll die to toxic. so as a stallbreaker, it's out.
however it does have the stats and what not to make a happy medium between these various CM roles, so i don't think it can be completely written off. it's in an awkward position between other calm minders though.

One of Mew's greatest boons is its amazing movepool. Mew can really exploit its coverage through a Nasty Plot + 3 Attack set, however I do see the utility in a bulkier CM set. I would definitely recommend using Aura Sphere over Focus Blast, as the set is focused more on slow boosting and not immediate power. At +6 the difference between Aura Sphere and Focus Blast is going to be minimal. Aura Sphere will also always hit your opponent, while Focus Blast has pretty terrible accuracy as well as having lower PP than Aura Sphere.
Oh duh, I completely forgot Mew got Aura Sphere. Anyway, alkinesthetase, this set is meant to be used in UU, not OU, because obviously Reuniclus does its job better. In OU I can totally see it being outclassed and not working very well, but I can't think of any Pokemon in UU that fit that role.
Stat modifiers work like this:
-6: x1/4
-5: x2/7
-4: x1/3
-3: x2/5
-2: x1/2
-1: x2/3
0: x1
+1: x1.5
+2: x2
+3: x2.5
+4: x3
+5: x3.5
+6: x4
voodoo pimp is right about the multipliers, but think about it this way if it helps you understand it in your head:
the stat multiplier starts at 2/2 when you're at +0; 2 divided by 2 equals 1. each boost above +0 increases the numerator by 1 - you go to 3/2, 4/2, 5/2, all the way to 8/2. each drop below +0 increases the denominator by 1 - you go to 2/3, 2/4, 2/5, 2/6, all the way to 2/8.
this should give you an idea of why boosts are so powerful - each upward boost adds another half, where as downward drops have diminishing return and generally stop being useful after you push something to approx -2.
and bobbery, didn't notice it was for uu, my bad >_> uu has its own sqsa thread though if you want to ask questions specifically about that metagame

i am supprised mew has not gone up a little in usage to fill the void celebi left when genesect came as mew now has a much easier time pullling off celebii's sets in this genesect infected meta game than celebi dose, mainly nasty plot, batton pass, celebi has to resort to hp fire to beat gene sect mew can slap on fire punch or flame thrower or fire blast and still not sacrifice coverage.
be advised that rules for rounding and applying modifiers are quite complex, there's an article here http://www.smogon.com/bw/articles/bw_complete_damage_formula for proper and rigorous study of those factors, which is basically mandatory for writing a good damage calculator (eg Honkalculator)
Pokemon Showdown! works fine on my iPod Touch (iOS 5).
