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.
I've recently read up on the Ban list for competitive play and I am most confused about something.
I noticed that there is nothing listed for hax items like King's Rock and other items that can cause hax besides evasion items.
So if possible, can someone go through all the rules that are...
I strongly support the ban of Speed Boost Blaziken but what I cannot understand is why Blaze Blaziken Banned.
With speed boost, Blaziken can really prove to be a problem in standard play due to its decent speed but the only other way I know is agility which of course requires a turn to set up...
I have recently been informed that Baton pass has been banned from OU play.
Is this true and if it is, does that also go for all the other tiers as well?
Okay then.
I've been getting loads of people asking me "Is Shadow Tag banned from standard play?"
I am curious on the answer myself because if I check the Smogon ban list, its not there but everyone still tells me its banned.
So, to put an end to this matter, Is Shadow Tag banned or not?
So i'll ask again and at least this time I won't be accused of "Breaking the rules"
Why is Swift Swim and Drizzle Banned but not Drought and Chlorophyll?
Please don't reply with just a simple term, I'm actually looking for a detailed answer unlike the last response I got
Instead of Charging in Guns Blazing, i'm gonna calmly ask
Why has Salamence been moved to Uber?
I'm asking because I've been battling on Pokemon Wifi for over 3 years and i've never found Salamence to be that much of a problem even after it gained Outrage
So what are Smogon's reasons for...
If anyone wants my thoughts on this
I personally think Salamence should stay OU as its 1 of the best mixed attackers in the metagame
I admit, I don't claim to know as much as the people of smogon do, but I still believe Salamence should stay OU
Hi guys, I need help with something
You know how there are moves that lower your stats like Scary Face and Growl?
Well can someone tell me how much the stats get lowered by?
From what I can gather, it works like this
Moves that lower a stat by 1 stage decreases the stat by 25% and moves that...
Oh, so Manaphy has been moved back to uber because you want to do some more testing
If i'd know that, I would have been more nice about it
Please accept my apologies
