Hey so I have the username SilverRival and I need the password reset :[ it also keeps claiming that it's the same user as Silver_Rival and Silver(Rival) as well because when I checked it pulled up the accounts when I typed my username in instead of my actual account that I registered with the username. Please help I need my rival user back </3

If you are talking about showdown, see this post https://www.smogon.com/forums/threa...-contacting-upper-staff.3538721/#post-6227626

As for it being the same name as Silver_Rival and Silver(Rival), thats because they are the same name. The PS account system bases names off IDs. An ID is the name with everything but letters and numbers removed and all upper case letters made lower case. So "silverrival" is the ID for that account and any names that just change capitalization or add symbols or whitespace are considered to be the same account.
 
Level 50 Heatran is legal in gen 8. When I try to use a level 1 Heatran, why does the teambuilder tell me it needs to be at least level 70?

also bumping one of my older posts

In the teambuilder, the physical attack IV sets itself to 0 or 31 every time I click one of the Pokemon's moves (even if I don't change that move). Is this intentional? This happened to me when I was putting a sandy Wormadam on a gen 4 OU team, in case you were wondering.

Edit: According to this Serebii page, Sandshrew can know vital throw from a gen 3 event, but Showdown! says it's illegal in gen 3. Which website is wrong?

The exact message should be
  • Heatran is only available from events - it needs to match one of its events, such as:
  • Heatran must be at least level 70 to be from its event #1.
It doesn't necessarily have to match event #1 to validate, it's just giving you an example that if you set its level to 70 then it would match event #1's level.
 
When I use a dragon ascent Rayquaza in custom game, it can Dynamax but not mega evolve. Is this intentional? If yes, why?

I want to ask, where I complain about Pokémon Showdown rules?
I remember I played with a batom pass team, in gen 3, untill last year. But now, this year, my team become banned by a new rule of just one baton passer per team.
And even my other team who just have one baton passer, is also banned, because it is the Umbreon with Mean Look + Baton pass and it is also banned.
Where is the best space in this forum to complain about that? Or there is other sites where I can play pokémon without that rule?
Better, without any rule. I would love to have a Double Team in my team or a pokémon with Horn Drill,both also banned of this game.
And I also think the sleep clausule very annoying, because just put one foe to sleep make my Breloom with spore unuseless if the enemy changes,it's necessary the possibility to put all the enemy team to sleep.

These are smogon's rules not showdowns. Play Anything Goes if you want to play with anything that is legal on cartridge ignoring any of smogon's bans. For Gen 3, thats a challenge only format due to its general lack of play. Also please don't post here and post a thread in the PS forum.
 
I started playing showdown on a new browser and instead of having my moves below the pokemon animation is appears over the animation is a black box over the screen. I was wondering what setting I have to change to get it back to normal

If a private room (not a groupchat or a battle, a room) is deleted, is all its content (quotes, logs, and the like) permanently gone or can it be recovered somehow?
 
This isn't me, where can I get help with this?

Hey, no idea where to direct this question. But is there somewhere I could ask for a consistent sparing partner, or partners, for showdown?

I like the immediacy of the site for testing teams and stuff, but i have bad nerves when facing randos on the ladder there. I'm also not very experienced at competitive pokemon.

I've asked in OU chat, and a few other places in the past, but was ignored lol.

Tier specific rooms are the best place to ask for sparring matches in those specific tiers. If you can't find anyone to play in there, you're probably not gonna have much luck anywhere else on the sim.

You could also check if the tier has a public discord that you could ask in. Just make sure you read the rules of each server to check if/where they allow for matchmaking.
 
I know they can be used in metronome battles, but I have really been looking forward to them being available in other settings. Any clue when they will be opened up?
 
When they become available to play with in SV most likely, as being released in a mainline game with a competitive mode is what dictates one's availability.
 
I received a message today in pokemon showdown that I am not allowed to go afk and brag about it.

my question is:
should I be worried of getting banned?

(the message was not a mistake/false report, I did that on purpose because that guy was playing a stall team and playing stall is a dick move).
