Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Thank you for your assistance.
so if that's the case, why don't they try advertising on the PS/Smogon Forums that they need more artists?
I can't speak to this as I'm not in charge of policy but I assume its a bad look to ask someone to work for free. To anticipate your next question, the "getting paid" conversation usually happens once a year among badgeholders and nothing ever comes of it
Its typically not slave labor (if that's what your saying) if the person knows what they're gonna get from it, which is recognition around PS and Smogon and maybe a new rank? (this: $ can be the rank) I haven't really read enough but im pretty sure its not illegal to ask people to work for a community, that's basically volunteering
bluntly, exposure isnt gonna pay the rent.
Hey! Where within the https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/ root may I find stats for mons for older generations? I.e. something like Alakazam's stats being set to:
{
instead of the below for later gens
{
Many thanks
{
- hp: 55,
- atk: 50,
- def: 45,
- spa: 135,
- spd: 85,
- spe: 120

If you want to check what their stat is in a certain gen, type /dtx mon in a chat room. For example, /dt6 alakazam
Alternatively stats are correct in the teambuilder if you select the right gen as the format for the team you’re building
I know it’s not exactly what you’re looking for but it’s something. Pretty sure a list of stat changes and when they happened is on Bulbapedia anyway
Do you mean in github? If so, here: https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-s...3c639e2d2bd86e5/data/mods/gen5/pokedex.ts#L96
For this specific case, anyway, it'd vary on the mon and when the stat changes took effect. but that shouuuld direct you roughly to the right place for everything
EDIT: https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-showdown/tree/843f5ffe0b47c204b3bfbfd7c3c639e2d2bd86e5/data/mods >> if you click on "gen#" you'll get the stats for said generation in case you need that

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you. Thank you as well Celever for your response to my question.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Why isn’t there a list of the people with the highest reaction score on the ”Users” page when there is one for the most amount of messages?
I mean it’s really a philosophical question isn’t? What is more important, the work that is done or the recognition that is received? Seems to me that Smogon values the sweat on the brow of the Firebot Lab workers more than any Luvdisc, Bellsprout, or Alomomola. I asked Mr. chaos himself his thoughts on the matter and he replied “even without success, creative persons find joy in a post well done. Posting for its own sake is rewarding.”
You can do it here, though if you’d rather, you can send me a private message about it.
The global forum rules are saying that we are not allowed to do "junior-modding",
What even IS junior-moding?
Am I forbidden from saying to people "you aren't allowed to do that"?
Am I forbidden from doing something else?
Explain to me this vague rule please.

Junior Modding / Mini-Modding is essentially users who are not forum moderators telling other users what they can or cannot do depending on the rules of the subforum since it's essentially the moderators job to handle that stuff. If you see something wrong it's best to use the 'Report' button and a moderator will figure it out.
I can't say it's forbidden (probably not recommended) because I haven't personally seen anyone get infracted for mini-modding (I could be a one off case though).
In my opinion (while I am not forum staff of course), it wouldn’t get you into trouble whatsoever. The users' should be aware of the forum-specific rules and any other differences. Since the RMT forum also has a large banner at the top saying CLICK ME TO READ RULES etc. Although if you are really worried about it; private messaging the relevant forum moderation team / leader is also a good way too.
just used the RMT as the example :)

Are there any tourneys relating to SV OU that I can sign up for right now? and For battling 101, how long does it take for a tutor to get to you? I've had nothing in my nonifications box after a week.
Really small detail in the showdown ui ive noticed, dont know where to put it so im putting it here, but when using a pixelate mon like sylveon, when you pick your move normal type attacking moves like hyper beam show up as fairy type moves, but status moves like yawn do not. While this may seem irrelevant, and 99% of the time it is, there are times where the game treats these moves as fairy moves and not normal moves in a situation where that actually does matter. For example, normally when you plasma fists with zera a mon right before it uses yawn, you actually volt absorb the yawn, because the game treats it as a normal type attack. However when this happens with a pixelate mon, the game treats yawn as a fairy type move and it doesnt get volt absorbed by zera after pf. But the ui still shows it as normal type. So yeah basically just a small inconsistency i noticed while playing that iw anted to takk about. Doesnt rly matter but i mean what if someone wanted to use sylveon to yawn a plasma fisting zeraora but doesnt cuz he thinks it will get volt absorbed by being a normal type move getting pfed so but then he wouldve won if he yawned.
Is there a post/thread in specific where I could ask about threats to specific teams, Pokemons?
Hello
Whenever I've tried to log on to showdown it would show this screen, and despite having stable internet connection everything I do won't fix it. I also tried to change my name and even that didn't work, and i've also tried logging out but it wouldn't let me access settings. Does anyone know how to fix?

Hi,
Apologies for asking a question that's probably documented somewhere but I would appreciate if someone could walk me through (or point me towards the documentation for) exactly what each of these numbers represent for checks and counters for certain mons:

I am not 100% sure, but i believe it's as follows
You're viewing a mon's checks and counters, basically what users on showdown use to check/counter something (in this case i'll assume it's kingambit).
In the instance of zamazenta coming in on kingambit, 25.6% of the time the kingambit got KO'd (died) and 49.4% of the time kingambit switched out. Add those two numbers and you get 75%. What comes after the +- is the margin of error, basically the deviation from the number that comes before it that the real value could have (both above and below)
