Hi Smogon! I'm Geoffrey, older member who's been out of the loop for a few years at this point. Used to dedicate all my time to this stuff and now it's more of a "if I have time, I'll play" kind of thing. Playing through ORAS though has me inspired to get back into the competitive game so I'm considering a comeback. We'll see, but I figured I'd post here regardless since I plan to at least lurk around here a bit more if I don't necessarily jump back in the scene right away.

I'm 21 years old, from southwest Indiana. I'm a junior in college majoring in journalism. I started playing pokemon way back when red and blue were first released and have bought every main game in the series since. I love Taylor Swift and am currently addicted to her latest album. So yeah, that's me. :)

Hey welcome to smogon. Please remember whenever you decide to go and check out the wifi forum rules. Each forum has a different set of rules. The Pokemon is probably from the create your own Pokemon section. You can change your avatar. Also if you need some help do feel free to pm me. To pm me click start a conversation or you can post on my profile. Enjoy your time around smogon.

Thanks Chesty! Im already enjoying my time, theres a guy in the Wi-fi section willing to help me out already :D.

Btw how can I make such a trade thread?

Simply click on the start your own thread blue button please do keep in mind though you should read the wifi rules because certain stuff is not allowed to be traded. Also do you have a 6iv ditto to breed with?

Edit: RichieTheGarchomp oretty sure he was talking about the wifi forums on smogon. Showdown and smogon have two different trade stuff.
 
Hello. I've been a Showdown user for a while, and I primarily play in the NU tier. I joined the forums to get myself better acquainted with the community and maybe get some advice for improving my team. The Sandshrew/Sandslash line are my favorite Pokemon (and are pretty excellent, if I may add). Aside from Pokemon, I love sports (particularly hockey and tennis), the Harry Potter series and an anime called 'Hunter X Hunter' (if you have Netflix, I highly recommend watching the show - it's fantastic).

So uh, yeah, that's basically it, I guess. Hope to see all you ladies & lads around.

Hey FreeloadingQueen!
How's it going? Have you visited the Rate My Team forum yet? You can post your team there and raters will give you advice to help you improve your team. Make sure you follow the rules, though! Hop over to the NeverUsed room in Showdown, have you not already, if you would like to get involved with that community. I would also say that joining the NeverUsed community here at Smogon would also help you to learn a lot. My favorite evolutionary line is Zorua/Zoroark, but my favorite Pokemon overall is Bisharp. Besides Pokemon, I play various videogames including Halo and Super Smash Bros, and I sometimes play soccer. I've recently been watching some Korean movies on Netflix, and of the ones I have watched, I would highly recommend, as the acting is outstanding. Well, check out the Smogon Simple Questions thread or the Simple Questions Simple Answers threads, or PM me, Chesty, or Fluke for help. Have a nice day! :)
 
Hi! Just made an account. Been playing Pokemon since it came out in United States of America. I've been into the competitive scene for a very long time and currently making the change to shiny hunting. I decided to make this account after something very, very perplexing happened. If you can please direct me to where this should go it would be much appreciated: My Perfect IVs 40 Def EV Impish Gliscor survived a High Jump Kick from my friend's Mega Medicham Adamant 252 Atk EV Perfect IVs. No reflect, no stat changes just that.

It has baffled me and my friend for awhile now because running it through every damage calculator we could find Gliscor should have been one hit-ko.
So any help would be much appreciated.

Sup, welcome to Smogon. You've been into Pokemon for a long time I see. I also started with R/B/Y and I've never stopped ever since.

About your question, you can probably post it in the Simple Questions/Requests thread.

If you have any other general questions for now, feel free to ask them here. Or just PM me, Chesty or QueBien about them :)

EDIT: Just tried entering those stats in the Damage Calculator and I think you made a typo or something.

252+ Atk Pure Power Mega Medicham High Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 40+ Def Gliscor: 141-166 (39.8 - 46.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Thank you very much for the help. Now I can tell him to stop calling me a cheater.
 
Hello! I've been playing Pokemon since the end of Gen III, but I only started battling competitively shortly after X & Y. Smogon has been a wonderful resource throughout, so I've finally decided to make an account here. I'm also new to Showdown! as of yesterday, currently puttering around in Battle Spot Singles. Hope to chat with you all about metagame stuff, maybe help here and there if I can. See you around!
 
Hello moneyspider and welcome to Smogon! I personally started Pokemon with Leaf Green and started playing competitive around he beginning of X and Y. The tiers I could help you with to a degree are NU, RU, UU, OU, Ubers, AG, BH, and VGC (better at VGC than all the others). If you need any help, you can PM me, QueBien, Fluke, or Chesty. Have a great time in this community!
 
I started with Pokemon... oh gods I don't even know.

Anyways..

I'm Zuke.. aka Ditto. I'm actually here more or less on a bit more formal buisness. I have a perfect IV ditto and I'm trying to fill out the PokeDex so I can acquire the Shiny Charm. I'm actually more of a breeder than a competitive player, but I imagine you all have enough of those. I was as soon as possible going to post a thread about trading perfect IV level 1 pokemon (So that the player can raise them however they please) for pokemon I don't have in my Pokedex yet but I don't have permission to post to the Wifi page yet apparently (Which confuses me) Send halp.
