Smogon Simple Questions & Suggestions Thread

Because the main PS server and smogtours both run on the same physical server. Due to how HTTPS works, we can only have one of them be HTTPS. (One HTTPS supported app per server)
How does usage work, exactly? I’ve been playing for over a year and still haven’t understood it. I read the descriptions on the Dex for the different tiers (“If the Pokemon appears at least once in a given day of battling [20 battles], it is truly [insert name of tier here].”). But I still don’t really get it. Is usage calculated within the tier, or within OU?
Was Middle Cup discontinued? If so, why?
Asked this a while ago in a few sqsa threads, didn't get the answer I was looking for. I stopped caring for a while but now I'm curious yet again. Let's say I want to discuss the competitive meta/potential of a non core-series Pokemon game (it's Conquest btw). What's the best subforum to do this? OI was my first guess but they do explicitly disallow discussion of "competitive play against other humans," which is exactly what I want to talk about. Someone in the OI SQSA when I asked there pointed me to RoA, and when I asked there they said no, but I should try PMing an OI moderator. I don't want to bother them just yet in case things have changed without me knowing.
middle cup merged with nfe (which can be found here) because they had basically the same concept. there's a few differences, nfe is level 100 instead of 50, and i believe they had slightly different banlists (ex nfe banned rhydon and doublade, while middle cup had combusken banned)
Usage is calculated using weighted stats within the tier. OU usage only effects tiering for OU (and I suppose by removing Pokemon from usage in the lower tiers).
If a Pokemon reaches 3.41% usages (appearing approximately in 1/20 battles) it rises tiers. If a Pokemon (say, Incineroar) has 34% usage in NU but only 1.5% in OU, 2% usage in UU, and 3.2% in RU, it only appears in 1/20 battles in NU and is thus NU. If another Pokemon (say, Kommo-o) has 3.6% usage in OU and 6.5% usage in UU, it would rise to OU due to its usage there being over 3.41%. Were it to be under 3.41% in OU but above that in UU, it would remain in UU.
If a Pokemon falls below 3.41% in the lowest tier it is allowed in, it falls to the tier below.
hoblaph's post is mostly right, but I just want to clarify that 3.4% means you have a 50% chance of seeing the Pokemon at least once when you look at 20 teams.
Have you tried asking in the Great Library?
Have a question with that too, then why isnt reuniclus ou?
| 48 | Reuniclus | 4.09876% | 70513
It's weighted over three months, so a mon needs to be on average over that during the entire period. Each month is given different weightings in the tiering as well (20:3:1 for the most recent month:second most recent month:third most recent month).
In other words, Reuniclus hasn't been used enough during a whole tiering period yet.
There are a couple of different options depending on what you're talking about. For the little mini sprites for example, doing : garchomp : (no spaces) will add its mini sprite to your post / signature. You can do : dp/garchomp : (no spaces) to get its DPP sprite, and so on.
For the 96x96 models, you can simply do /dt pokemon on the Pokemon Showdown website, click the name, copy the image address of the Pokemon, and then add the sprite to a post by clicking insert image > by URL.

Couple of search suggestions:
1. Add the ability to search for users/their profile to the Search option in the toolbar at the top of the screen so that we can skip the middleman of going to Users
2. Add either the ability to report someone to senior staff/super moderators/whoever is responsible for disciplinary actions on smogon or clear out the Staff section in Users and make it so that only the three mentioned appear there (you simply aren't going to be looking for a moderator of the PU forum or something like that when trying to report someone harassing you on your profile)

How does one go about deleting their smogon account?
That isn’t possible. If you really don’t want to be able to log in anymore then change your password to a jumbled mess you won’t remember, but we don’t permanently remove accounts.
On a personal level, I hope you reconsider. I don’t think it’s the right idea to delete yourself from here entirely.
I wasn't able to see OM reservation Index when I tried to access it in OM Analyses section, and when I asked Alakazam about it, he said that it could be because I am banned or something. But, I am able to see it if I open it from my browser bookmarks; I am just not able to access it when I go through OM analyses main page. Also, I am able to post in it and everything
I tried logging out and logging back again, and I still can't see the OM reservation index through the OM analyses page...

Maybe a stupid question, but are you ignoring Uselesscrab? Hiding things on a thread-by-thread basis is not really a thing, and when I look in OM Analyses I see three threads by Uselesscrab that your screenshots aren't showing...
Holy f, thanks!! I had accidentally ignored him. Ty, Quite Quiet

Suggestion:
Make smogon give one of these kinds of popups whenever you attempt to navigate off page with a post still being drafted
While a more consistent method of making sure WIP posts are saved would be ideal, I'm sure it's probably much harder to implement than a simple failsafe like this.
I'm always petrified at the thought of accidentally clicking something and having to start over my entire post as a result-

There's already a fail-safe; if you leave in the middle of drafting a thread just click "post thread" from that same subforum and your draft will be there. If you leave a thread while in the middle of writing a response to it the post draft will still be there when you return to it.
I'm pretty sure I found the right thread, but sorry if I didn't. I have a few questions about the library.
1. What are quills and how do I spend them?
2. Is the story I'm writing about pokemon, or can it be unrelated?
3. What is the library? Is it a forum thread or something else entirely?
4. When it says custom avatar, does that mean I get to create my own?
Sorry if these questions were answered in another thread.

Hello MasterofSegways. This isn't the right thread, as it's for Smogon only. What you were looking for was this https://www.smogon.com/forums/threa...t-before-posting.3520646/page-98#post-8246308, which is for PS! only. Anyway, to answer your questions: 1) quills are a form of prize given during games in the room The Library on PS! ; 2) Your story can be unrelated, and you can find more information by joining that room and checking their roomintro. 3) As said before, The Library is a room on PS! that is currently hosting a Halloween event. Here's the link to join it: https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/thelibrary ; 4) If you're able to create your own custom avatar that respect PS! standards for avatars, then sure! Otherwise, in case you win, you can request one to spriters / artists. Keep in mind that nothing is free, so they may ask you some money for the commission.
