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.
As the host of RBTT since the fourth edition I'd like to bring up my thoughts on this as well.
I think BSSF and BF should both be removed from RBTT. Their Minior Circuit showings were pathetically low and it's become clear that they are not the popular cornerstones of our side formats that we...
The dev team have discussed this set. The overall conclusion is that shed tail is not, in fact, the purpose of the set and you should not use Shed Tail if it would not put you in an advantageous position. Shed Tail LO is also capable of helping activate Overgrow, which many members of the team...
Hi, you need permission to open a new thread in this subforum! This is better suited for the Simple Questions thread so I moved you there.

Is this the most unlucky submission in practice? Perhaps not. However, I think having 5 special mons + a Veluza ft. 3 choice item users (two of which are Scarfers) vs two bulky setup Psychic-types and a Chansey is pretty egregious...
Welcome to Smogon! You need permission to post a thread in this sub forum. You don't have that, so we'll be closing this thread and deleting it soon. I would recommend reading our forum rules in the future.
There is not a place in the forum to form "pokemon showdown groups" like "team omega"...
Glastrier is good at both taking out paralyzed Pokemon (which, TWave is extremely common so that's pretty frequent) and being an offensive presence that can threaten switches and prevent setup. Avalanche actively is detrimental to all of those goals. The increased power when attacked is...
As a general rule, please don't submit replays for other people without their express permission. Hammy's last week was an example of said permission.
