Has there ever been a vote on this, or anything else to validate it as policy other than the leaders saying "because I said so" and shutting down any consideration of reasonable alternatives to how complex bans are regarded?

Yeah, I agree. This is a great question. Mind giving us an answer, Gen Empoleon?

whats better on gastrodon: earth power or earthquake?

and based on experience, does standard tyranitar work better with SR or Superpower?

I would say earth power, higher spA. And on TTar, depends on the set. Lead set= SR.
Choice set= superpower.
 
Dumb question, is someone like Espeon used Calm Mind his Stroed Power would be 60 and it'll have a +1.

If Unaware Quagsire switched in would Stored Power BP be 20 or 60?
 
I've seen in several places that Smogon is abandoning its current method of suspect testing/voting, but I don't know the details. What's it being replaced with? A council? And if it's a council then does the fact that BP got a simple majority matter at all?
 
I just turned on my computer and came on Smogon and I noticed that four of the Pokemon topics in Dragonspiral Tower have been locked. Pelipper, Lanturn, Sawsbuck, and Kricketune. While Kricketune is a bit of a joke in this metagame, why the rest? They very well have their good uses.
 
I think the idea is to focus on the metagame (like RU,UU) where they really shine, rather than some obscure niche they serve in OU.
 
If we reach a rating of 1450 on Smogon's OU ladder, are we automatically granted voting privileges and get that check next to our name? What happens suppose that we get the voting privilege, then our rating drop below 1450?
 
Sawsbuck was locked by accident last night. There are going to be a few more changes around DST too -- we'll see how the pan out.

You need to keep your rating above 1450 to keep the voting privileges, and because of rating decay, that means continuing to play ladder matches. Rating decay will be reversed automatically if you play often enough rather than permanently impacting your score, so don't worry about it; just keep it in mind.
 
How many Pokemon resist Rock and Ground moves (EdgeQuake) and what are they? I can only think of Levitate Claydol and Bronzong at the moment but I might be missing some.
 
Torterra, Virizion, Breloom all resist ground and rock.

Flygon is immune to ground and resistant to rock.
 
Without access to Body Slam (a 3rd-gen-only move), is the Choice Scarf set most likely a better use for a Jolly Jirachi than the Substitute + Paralysis set?
