    Hello,
    I am doing a data visualization project on pokemons and I wanted to do a visualization where one can choose a pokémon and directly see which other pokemon it can beat or which other pokemon beats it in a 1v1. I was wondering if such a dataset exist. If not I am wondering if any of you know of a furmula that would give the winner in such a scenario.

    Thank you in advance for your answer! :)

    Why do you still use 20:3:1 weighting? Is there any way to change this policy?
    Marty
    Marty
    Because it was decided near the beginning of this year to close out the gen with it in that policy review thread. Doesn't make sense to move the goalposts a few months away from Gen 8. There will be adjustments coming soon™.

    Can Smogon make changes that become effective during Generation 8?
    Marty
    Marty
    Yeah, hence "adjustments coming soon".

    Hello, are you in charge of the usage stats now? If not, can you link me to the person?

    Hi, yes I am.

    Hey, are you the Pokémon Showdown programmer? Because I would like to offer you a commercial request.

    Hey I was wondering if there's a way to get additional stats from the ladder usage stats? Like for ex: the most common scarfers, the most common rockers, etc.

    What I was thinking of was like a list (just using choice scarf as an example) that showed like this below

    Most common choice scarf users (IE: out of all choice scarf used on ladder, Lando was the mon players put choice scarf on the most)
    =====================
    1: Lando
    2: Keldeo
    3: etc.

    No I get that, but how do you determine what's more common than anything else? Raw count * percentage of Scarf usage on that Pokemon? Something else?
    Aurella
    Aurella
    I would just go by raw count personally but the TL might have a more nuanced opinion than that.

    hi, lc uu has been picking up lately I was wondering if you could include LC in the monthly tier shift post and weigh the stats. It would be really helpful. Thanks in advance
    Marty
    Marty
    Sure, but without having LC UU on PS anymore, the best I can do for now is give a banlist based on that month's usage cutoff. Between tier shifts, you'd have to figure out quick drops based on what Pokemon are missing from the banlist from the month before (and ignore suddenly new Pokemon in the banlist since quick rises aren't a thing). I'll update the last few usage posts with an LC UU banlist to give you an idea.

    Thanks! What's done now is fine

    (Sorry for the spam haha)

    The other day on ladder I switched in a mon to fully sack it to hazards hoping that the opposing medicham's HJK would inflict crash damage. I switched the mon in and it died, but the message that came up when he HJK'd was "but it failed!" (no crash damage occurred)

    Is it supposed to be like that? Cause explosion can still set off even if a mon was switched in to get sacked to hazards.
    Marty
    Marty
    Yes, no target Jump Kicks aren't considered misses. In Gen 4, no target Explosion also failed instead of knocking the user out.

    Hi Marty I recently tested psychic terrain interactions with custap berry + quick claw and just wanted to double check if these conclusions were cartridge consistent:

    1: quick claw enhanced attacks can still hit grounded targets protected by psychic terrain
    2: custap berry enhanced attacks can also still hit grounded foes in psy-terrain

    Custap Berry and Quick Claw don't grant priority, so yes those are intended interactions.
