Is there a battle log that Shoddy saves which I can access to make a warstory from? And if so, where would I find it on a Mac?

You have to manually save any battle you want to Logs for. To do this, when the battle is over (but before you close out of it) go to the Chat Tab or the battle and under "Send" there is an option that says "Save Log" Click this, and save it wherever you can find it, then you can open it from there in Note Pad (or whatever the Mac Equivalent is)
 
How do you find out what your rank is on shoddy? Like if your rank 520.

It is very easy.

1) Log into the server that you wan't to find your out rating.
2) Go to the list of users.
3) Find your name.
4) Right click on your name and select "view record." You might need to select it more than once due to the sometimes sluggish nature of Shoddy Battle.

From there, you can check out this thread to make better sense of exactly what your rating means.
 
Nobody answered me from 2 pages ago so...

Which is the rating that puts you on the leaderboard?
And is there a list of players other than the top 50 or so?

As of my posting:

OU - Above 1527.45195255
Uber - Above 1577.6226511
UU - Above 1527.73742553

The answer is no to your second question.
 
Whenever I open up shoddy, no servers show. I try to manually enter a port and it says "Error: Connection Refused: Connect". Refreshing doesn't help. The team builder won't allow me to make new teams, when I select a server the list goes away, but the team builder won't come up, though when I try to edit a team, It works fine. Can someone help me? =\
 
FromTheFail: So the crit chance in Shoddy is like 4/16 instead of 1/16, right?
Hodou Masaka: No, FromTheFail, it's normal
FromTheFail: crit is not normal in shoddy...
Hodou Masaka: It's just like in the Pokemon games, people just bitch about it more.
Galvatron: Seems like crits end up normal overall but go on sudden streaks at times...
buderbal14: I agree with Fail, a few games ago 3 crits happened in a row
Franco629: Yeah, same here. I had a CP Clefable and it got hit with crits like 5 times when it was out, haha
Hodou Masaka: The only reason crits stand out more in Shoddy is because we go through battles faster
phalanx: no, its because there are more crits
Hodou Masaka: *sigh*

Does anyone have a definitive answer to this? It seems the general consensus is that critical hits are actually more common in Shoddy, but I think that's just annoyed speculation. (People bitch about hax too much, IMO.)
 
Well, I've gotten five or six crits in a row on my friend playing the actual game. Random chance is funny that way. Of course I've also heard of RNGs getting stuck... so maybe that's what's happening?

Anyway, I'm new to using shoddy and was trying to put HP Ice on a Zapdos, and it keeps giving me an invalid IV error. Then it suggests I change it and it ends up as HP Dragon or something. Can anyone give me a valid set-up for full power HP Ice and explain what's up? I know I found one before by my hard drive died and I lost it.
 
Hey people how are you?..

I need to know if i can make one pokemon cup in shoddy?.. if i can what i need?..

I am making a cup in my community and we need your permission for make it

;3
 
Why isn't [insert type] mail not one of the item options in Shoddy? IIRC, it can't be tricked, making it a somewhat useful item for mons particularly vulnerable to trick. If I don't remember correctly, then I agree that there's no point in having said items.
 
Does anyone know if its possible to have 2 trapping moves (i.e. Milotic using wrap and the HgSs HM whirlpool at the same time)?

Yes, it is possible. I don't see why you would want to, though.

EDIT; A question of my own.

My random battles never load, and to the challenger it seems as if I did not accept the challenge. I am on a Mac running OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard), and I am using Java SE 6 32 Bit. Any ideas?
 
This is not really a question but I noticed a small glitch while laddering. Substitute blocks Torment on the ladder, when it shouldnt.

Glitches in SB1 are not going to be fixed, Colin is focusing on getting SB2 ready. If you like you can report it on the Bug Tracker.
Is it true that Shoddy is a lot haxier than actually WiFi? Because I heard people talking about that topic a lot.
No. Shoddy has the same chance to crit, and the same chance for any special effect to activate. It may seem like there is more hax, but this is only because you play much faster on shoddy so each "hax event" is generally closer in time to the others than you would find on Wi-Fi.

Edit: To the post below: Hidden Power will show up as normal in battle, this is normal (no pun intended). It will function as HP grass if you use it.

Even though it shows Hidden Power Normal during a battle, its up to you to remember what type you gave your Pokémon. If your IVs are correct when you made the team, it will be such type during the battle.

Yeah, I don't like it either. But, when in doubt, you can open up the team builder during your battle to double check.
