(Archive) Small Objective Changes Thread

I just noticed that in the Tour rules, which are copy-pasted into each thread, two are no longer relevant:

The Pokémon Arceus is banned from all environments.
The item Soul Dew is banned in the OU environment.

In the Jirachi analysis, there is a typo in the Sub + Thunder Wave set. Here is the qoute near the middle of the set description.

"An Adamant naturegives Jirachi a nice boost in Attack. Since Jirachi should be paralyzing most switch-ins, max Speed is generally not needed, making this secondary spread just as viable as the original. If you want to maximize Jirachi's offensive power, you may also use a spread of 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spe with a Jolly nature."

As you can see, there is a missing space between nature and gives. I hope I helped! :<

This is better brought to a tournament director, for example, Philip7086.

fixed, thank you.
 
In issue 10 of the Smog, in the Core Crisis article, it says:

Skarmory's high defensive prowess easily enables him to switch into Kingdra or Skarmory

It should be:

Skarmory's high defensive prowess easily enables him to switch into Kingdra or Scizor
 
In this, there is the line:

This summation S should result in a number that is extremely close to 1. Finally, the Pokemon whose P value is greater than or equal to S ÷ 176.14073324 make the OU tier. This number is the usage that Pokemon require in order to be present in at least one out of every 20 Standard metagame teams on average.

If s is almost equal to one, s/176.14073324=0.0056. I assume it should be closer to 1/20=0.5, in which case it should be 17.614... instead. If not, I have misunderstood it and it could be made clearer anyway :)
 
The Rhyperior analysis page: http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/rhyperior

The option of Aqua Tail over Rock Blast is simply personal preference. Rock Blast allows you to absolutely destroy SubRoost variants of Moltres and Articuno, as well as nailing Pokemon such as Substitute Mismagius and even Raikou. Aqua Tail will hit Donphan harder than Earthquake (although Earthquake 2HKOes anyway) and will also do major damage to other Rhyperior.

Raikou isn't UU anymore.
 
In this article, in the sentence:

Dividing this in half and rounding up the result when the necessary gives you your desired starting Speed which is 209 in this case.

The word 'the' is not necessary after 'when'. Also, Heracross is not listed as a threat, even though it is UU, and very important.

Finally, the Heracross analysis assumes OU. I don't know enough UU to rewrite the page, but it is out of date.
 
removed the extra word as stated above by athenodoros

i believe the heracross updates will happen after proper testing and/or voting has occurred
 
on the CM Alakazam analysis:

Spiritomb presenta an immediate problem to this set since it has the ability to lock down Alakazam with Pursuit, Shadow Sneak, or Sucker Punch.

should be an s i believe
 
I'm disappointed in the fact that a lot of this analysis was changed between the two GP checks and uploading (minus the improved Counters section), and there is this error that wasn't there before:

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/swellow

Team Options section, last sentence, after the semi-colon:

they can also Explosion on walls that Swellow would normally only be able to 2HKO, such as Milotic or Weezing.

This has to be changed to either "they can also use Explosion", or changed back to the original "they can also Explode".
 
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/lunatone

In the SubSalac+Calm Mind set:
The combination of Ice Beam and Earth Power have nearly perfect coverage, hitting everything, excluding Shedinja, for at least neutral damage.

"Have" needs to be changed to "has", because the verb is describing "combination", not "Ice Beam and Earth Power".

Also, in the Choice Specs set, "move pool" should be "movepool".

EDIT: http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/wigglytuff
In Other Options, "move pool" ---> (change to) "movepool"

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/pachirisu
In Supportisu, "move-pool" ---> "movepool"
In Opinion, "let down" ---> "letdown"

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/carnivine
In the SubSeed set, Carnivine's primary option in the fourth slot is Sludge Bomb, yet the EVs and nature behave like the primary option is Power Whip. Also, in the description, it is hard to tell whether the primary option is Power Whip or Sludge Bomb.

EDIT2: http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/lumineon
In the Rain Dance set:
260 Special Attack might not be much, but with the rain and Life Orb boosting Surfs power even further, it can do some serious damage.
Needs to be changed to "Surf's"

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/parasect
In the Psychic Spooker, Swords Dance, and Status sets, as well as the Team Options section, they treat Honchkrow as UU, when it became BL a long time ago.

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/wormadam-g
In the Standard set, change "grassers, and bulky waters" to "Grass-types and bulky Waters", and "fliers" to "Flying-types".
In the RestTalk set, change "fliers" to "Flying-types"
In the Other Options section:
Secret Power can sometimes be useful, and Wormadam-G can hope for some status from this, to gain an advantage.
The second comma needs to be removed.
 
fixed Oglemi's Swellow suggestion

the first one of NatGeo's fixes isn't actually correct

i did address the second one however

was gonna do more but Komodo was already there before me :x

EDIT: double checked Komodo's fixes for carnivine and parasect
