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.
So maybe I could start a discord and hold polls to see what monthly Doubles/Singles tournaments members want to play as well as suggestions from members? If something like that gets big enough, there could be prizes I guess, but I primarily wanna do this for fun with folks who get tired of the...
So how would I go about creating some fun tournaments with funky expansions/limitations that I mentioned above for people on this site that may be interested?
Where are a list of Cartridge Tournaments? I'd like to play in (or even create/host) tournaments that add to or detract from the current rule set, such as using the expansions of the VGC 2019 adjusted for the VGC 2020 format (possibly including mythical pokemon as well because I do not see the...
I would suggest replacing Calm Mind with Icy Wind on Tapu Fini. 204 SpA+Modest means you already hit decently well, and Icy Wind would allow you to continue to outspeed things with Cinderace, Nihelego, and possibly even Urshifu instead of solely relying on Sand Rush Dracovish. You could also...
I would give Glastrier WP if you want to run it as an Anti-Trick Room DMax mon or give it AV if you want to make it more of a general Anti-Trick Room Tank that can also still hit hard. Both of these items on Glastrier work well behind the Veil from GMax Lapras. WP Glastrirer stat spread I would...
Surf seems like a bad choice on Lapras because only one of your other team members have protect, meaning that all your teammates other than Celesteela cannot avoid damage from this move. That's why Hydro Pump is way more popular in usage when compared to Surf. I would also replace Thunder with...
I get this feeling that WP or LO Reshiram could be a good pokemon to use as a check to the threats mentioned above. Blue Flare for Duskmane/Zacian-C, Shadow Ball for Shadow-Rider (before Nasty Plot), and a neutrality to Scarf Kyogre with access to Max Overgrowth (Solar Beam) and Max Strike...
So I have a question. If you were allowed only 2 restricted/uber mons, what type of team set-ups would be best? What are the best cores with that limitation? Are there any examples of moves/ev-spreads/items of the restricted mons you would use? Here's what I've come up with so far...
That's interesting to find out after they have kind-of shut down hacked raids once zarude and shiny celebi raids were being produced. Figured they would've made a way to check for any artificially produced mons (which does not include what you're offering here since they're RNG based).
Since these ditto are Japanese, if we use them for breeding with an ENG profile pokemon, will it apply the masuda method to the shiny odds, or is this negated since these are "RNG abused"?
Mythicals can be used in this tourney. "players may have any number of pokemon permitted in series 7...players may have up to 2 pokemon forbidden from series 7 on their team". See I was thinking shadow-rider as well, but sucker punch keeps me from committing to it
So here's a question, I'm not sure if it completely applies here, but I'd like to see some suggestions. I'm going to be competing in a VGC tourney where 2 banned pokemon are allowed per team. If you were to build a team under these rules, what would your team comps be and why? What are the...
