Straight question: suppose there are only 2 users on a server, they look for a ladder battle in the same format, will the battle ever start?

This meta is meant for making pokémon battles more like board strategy (chess and family), that's a great idea, I once was thinking about that. But there's another source of bias in pokémon battles: teambuilding. You have to optimize everything for best results before battle and it takes a lot...

Drifblim Leftovers Ability: Aftermath EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Nature: Calm ~ Minimize ~ Baton Pass ~ Charge Beam ~ Shadow Ball I call my team Meditative Team and this balloon is what makes the other "float" while "meditating". XD It's made to setup the evasion boost and with enough luck...

Sure, so do you want to see my full team made to use zen mode? It's not an ace team, but can win a fair amount of battles. On top of that, can have a fair amount of 3x0 wins. My choice is odd even for zen mode, I use substitute instead of BD given that I explore the boosted evasion.

If so, as a battle spot curiosity. We have a battle spot forum for a reason, but yeah, drawing attention to Darmanitan-Z is a hard mission even if I can win with it.

Still, I can imagine it being mentioned with an observation or maybe with a set in the rules even if it is a poor one.

Did you read my first text carefully? XD I mention my attempt is out of Smogon ruleset, that explains me here at battle spot part of the forum, but I understand that's a problem for making it something that can be mentioned officially by Smogon.

Plus, if as evasion-boosted special-sweeper, it doesn't seem soooo bad.

I know, but it has one page and, if I'm checking right, the pirouette melloeta wasn't in the limbo tier together with it. The page only lacks strategy discussion. There is a brief one in other page for zen mode ability, but no set to use in the pokémon if you wanna try.

Hello, poké-people! Yesterday, I've noticed that the alternative form of Darmanitan has its own entry at Smogon dex, but not a standard strategy set, which even unown does. I kind of understand that it is because Zen Mode can be regarded as just a suboptimal strategy for Darmanitan, but seeing...
