Just attack Durant with a Ghost-type (they can't be trapped), alternatively use disruption tools like Taunt or Magic Bounce, or even just switch after being hit by Entrainment to then either bully the incoming Gothitelle or gain a free switch with Durant's own Truant activating afterwards, which...

A partial survey is being made now that the NDPL is mostly over, more specifically regarding how to treat potential tiering action for Sticky Web in the future, with other potentially problematic elements (such as Power Construct Zygarde, Ultra Necrozma, and Zacian-C) being kept for yet another...

With its recent spike on popularity, the Smogon Discord is looking for Legends Z-A OU raters! If you or someone you know is interested, send 'em this way!

Hey, would it be possible for the Copyedit button (characteristic of sections such as C&C, TFP, and Translations) to also be around in DMs? I've been generally told to try to get QC checks by users that aren't part of a proper Flying Press QC section by DMs over just granting them access to...

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics What is the bug? Sunsteel Strike doesn't bypass abilities if it's called by Assist, this likely also applies to Photon Geyser and Moongeist Beam. Are you able to replicate it? If so, how? Call Sunsteel Strike with Assist to a target with...

@ those saying Trick Room on switch-in, that has historically been broken in Pet Mods in an higher power level on shitmons like Beheeyem (cough Sylvemons), so please do not. However, if it's limited to a trigger limitation on it only being active if a Pokemon with the ability to set it is on the...

Mega Evolution: Mega Malamar:malamar: New Ability: No Guard Ability Description (if it doesn't currently exist): Reasoning: Mega Malamar is all about Hypnosis, so I'd think that it'd be reasonable for it to lean into that role viably. Mega Evolution: Mega Dragonite:dragonite: New Ability...

Haha, nice team, admittedly on retrospective in my match I should've just sacked M-Diancie then finished off Zyggy with Chien-Pao, but that's more of a fault on my part either way, knowning that this account alt was you all along also explains why the high-ladder was of surprisingly high quality...

Okay, got a bit late as I got sick: Moves Diamond Storm, Draco Meteor, Fishious Rend / Bolt Beak, Rock Throw / Fairy Wind / Mountain Gale / Circle Throw Items Insect Plate, Yellow Card Abilities Unaware, Protosynthesis / Quark Drive Adjustments Zamazenta-Crowned, Regice, Koraidon / Miraidon...

Probably some weird code semantics in terms of how ability stacking is implemented in PS, really. Whether Poison Touch interacts with other abilities besides Sheer Force in a SP context is still something to be tested.

The Stench user can still combine it with Serene Grace and Skill Link for rather uncompetitive results, hence why. For example, while this can struggle against offensive teams as it has a poor Speed tier, it can still matchup fish against slower / bulkier teams, especially when complemented...
