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.

Joining in on this conversation to talk about the Marill line’s glow-up, which is just progressively better gen after gen.
It starts off as a super rare encounter in GS with awful stats, rendering it horribly outclassed by nearly every over water-type in the game.
In the transition to...
Does anyone have a spare Destiny Knot they can trade to me in Shield for a playthrough with some of my pre-IVd team? I’m early game so I don’t have access to much.
If it could be attached to a spare Turtonator for Dex completion I’d appreciate it but not a must have.
Edit: Received.
This is honestly the only correct take on sleep and a variety of other game aspects that lean more heavily into the RNG than others. The community’s intolerance of RNG and obsessive witch hunt to turn it into a game of chess and guaranteed outcomes is fairly pathetic. It’s utterly ridiculous...
Not a ton to say but things are definitely better post Pagos ban as expected. Some thoughts:
::Serperior::
We knew this mon would be good, and it definitely is, but I think well-balanced by its low initial special attack, the poor offensive typing of its main boosting option, and the fact that...
Shed tail Sceptile could be interesting with its speed and Giga Drain / Synthesis. Nothing game breaking but nice to see a little callback to its mega.
Hi, thanks so much for doing this. I’m looking for Most, perfect Ditto on Gen 6.
Game: Pokemon Y
IGN: Janine
Pokémon: Slowpoke, Male Lv26
Requested: Most
Speaking of powerful but not overwhelmingly so, I actually think Mismagius was cheated out of gaining the Fairy type back in gen 6. It would have been a great way to distinguish it from Gengar and also gives it powerful coverage but off good-but-not-great stats of 105/105/105. It even fits with...
Completely forgot about Delibird lol. That said, it's a jokemon without any place on Pryce's team - maybe it could feature among one of the gym trainers instead.
I did struggle a bit between where to place Heracross and Hitmontop, but ultimately settled the way I did based on the options their...
So I just did a replay of Heart Gold and honestly I'd like to nominate like...the entirety of the gym leaders and Elite 4. Their rosters are not only underleveled but fail to showcase Johto pokemon in nearly every case, even despite the more limited dex. The region has the additional problem of...
Ash vs. Steven delivered, although it felt less impactful than Iris v Cynthia. And for good reason - Iris and Cynthia have a mentor/mentee relationship that spans several episodes and was played up in this arc, while I don't think Steven even remembers Ash from those 3 little episodes in Hoenn...
Great episode overall, although I do think a few moments fell flat.
Gastrodon having the clear upper hand I felt was appropriate. And unlike others who feel Horn Drill was a bit of a cop out, I think Iris made the right call. She recognized as champion that the situation was fairly hopeless and...
Can anyone trade me a Modest Misdreavus egg in a Luxury Ball for BDSP? It doesn't have to be in an egg if that's too much. I'd also like to trade an Elekid for a Magby for pokedex completion purposes.
