I know of at least three kinds of statistics. There's Pokemon usage stats, item, ability, and move usage stats for each Pokemon, and stats that tell how common each playstyle is. I forgot the URLs for the last two. Do you track any more kinds of statistics? Can you give me the URLs for each kind of statistics?
Is staff bros coming back this year? Its my favorite part of showdown because it's so wacky.
Can anyone answer my question?
How can I get an account? I was told to click the "register" button but I can't find it.
Click the "Choose Name" button in the top right corner of the window, it should look something like this:
Once you've done this, click on the cog button at the top right of the window, which should open a menu similar to the one shown below.
You can see the Register button below your username, avatar and the Change Avatar button. Hope this helps!
There is no other way (as far as I know). If you click the Register button that appears on the top right Cog menu, enter a password for that account (twice) and answer Pikachu to the "What is this Pokemon?" question, then it should register your account. You can type /register into a chat room, but that will just bring up another lino to the menu.
The communication from the client to the server is documented here: https://github.com/Zarel/Pokemon-Showdown/blob/master/PROTOCOL.md so you can write your own front end, if that's what you mean.
Team editing is handled entirely within the browser. The team is only sent to the server when you request or accept a battle.
How does Showdown! measure the "stalliness" of each team when it tracks metagame statistics?
Example of stalliness statistics at the bottom of this page: http://www.smogon.com/stats/2017-02/metagame/gen7ou-1825.txt

So to clarify before I get infracted this is not an appeal.
I was locked today for having the same IP as a user named Nibber10. Obviously if someone else does something on my IP that's my problem. However I just yesterday bought a new phone and I don't have WiFi so I just use data.
So my question is what would my IP be? Could someone else use it? Could this be a mistake?
As a note I have had this new phone for less that 24 hours and it has not left my possession in that time nor connected to WiFi outside of the small store in which I bought it.

This thread ( http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/read-me-rules-simple-questions-submissions-closed.3532781/ ) was locked, so I'm going to ask here.
In Sketchmons, why are celebrate, conversion, forest's curse, happy hour, hold hands, purify, sketch, and trick-or-treat banned on Pokemon that don't naturally learn them? The bans seem redundant, as nobody uses these moves anyway.

All those moves, when turned into their respective Z moves, give +1 to every stat. They're very highly coveted moves in Gen 7 and the sheer number of pokemon that could become overpowered if they had access to those moves is hard to imagine.
For clarification, the pokemon that sparked the ban in ordinary sketchmons were Kyurem-B, who often used Z-conversion, and Swoobat, whop used a simulator glitch to have +2 in every stat for stored power. This was the early stages of the metagame, so other options hand't really been explored, but it was abundantly clear that the only problem with those otherwise perfectly fine pokemon was +1 Z-moves, so they were suspected and then banned by sketchmons. Thsi sort fo thing takes place in the thread here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sketchmons-dugtrio-is-now-banned.3587743/
I've got a question regarding the display of the opponent's information. In whatever format, when my opponents switches in, it already says Item: (exists) even though at that point there's no way for me to know whether my opponent is holding an item or not. This makes me wonder... why is this? In cases such as Pokemon using Acrobatics with/without an item this is actually pretty critical.
On cart, you can tell at team preview whether or not they have an item.
Ah, like that. Never thought about it that way. Thanks for the clarification :)
I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me.
Question: How do you make a rmt
You make a thread with the team in the appropriate subforum of here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/rate-my-team.52/

Asking a little question to make sure if I am paranoid or not:
This happened in 3 days. After this guy who posted pornography link in showdown for some reason has been unlocked, another guy gets permalocked and I have to stay silent in my IP Address for 9 days straight.
The PS policy appealing thread says this is in order to keep the ones who violated rules from bypassing punishments; while I understand this is necessary, I can't deny the fact that this is very annoying for users who have to be involved in IP lock due to one user messing around (maybe more than one).
Do everyone experience this inconvenience in common this often?

I need help please, a friend of mine and I cannot enter the same tournament because we use the same ip. I wanted to try using proxy but I head it will lead you to a ban. What should we do? Any help appreciated.
(btw I moved the thread into here, as it is a support question that doesn't need its own thread/doesn't lead to discussion/etc.)
Something that may help is that proxies won't get you banned, just locked (unable to talk on Showdown) until you disable the proxy and re-log in; it will then unlock you and return you to normal.
