Does the regular ladder keep your original ELO (or whatever the showdown ranks you by)?

I have a question about the way pokemonshowdown handles suspects tests; I know that showdown creates a temporary tier which they label as "suspect test", but does this "suspect test" tier replace the original because I can't find the "non-suspect test" Uber tier. Thanks P.S. I personnally...

TY Blitzlefan, you too Faint

Thanks for all the advice. The reason I was looking for those three pokemon is for a sort of "quick-stall team" where I have three prankster abusers (sableye, whimsicott, and riolu) spreading statues, crippling sweepers and generally being an annoyance. However those three pokemon don't have...

My original though process for Fire Arceus is to have him and reshiram form a "double fire sweeper" offensive core where reshiram blows holes in to opponent's team and Arceus-fire cleans up late game. I gave them the same typing for the purpose of "type stacking".

Hi, I need help building an OU stall team. What three pokemon forms a strong defensive core, has complementary typings, has all three hazards, has rapid spin and has some form of phazing? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice, My "designated sun team" consists of groundon(support), forrestess(support), latias(anti-rain), and Arceus-fire(CM). Will that team work with a specs-Reshiram and scarf-Zekrom offensive pairing?

Can reshiram and zekrom work on a balance offensive team? If so what sets should I use? I was originally going to run with a specs reshiram, scarfed-mixed zekrom, in a sun team

@Melee Mewtwo Yeah, i know that there a some good Griatina-o CM sets out there. But. the ones shown on the Giratina-o page seems to lean more toward bulky offence and are meant to be more of a "last bastion". Oh well, I'll keep on experimenting to see what happens On another note, does...

Can Giratina-O work as an offensive calm mind user? If so, what is a good set for that role? If not, what pokemon with similar team synergy can pull it off?

@Hack He Must That's a pretty neat team you've got there. My main concern with the FWG core is that the dragon types that dominate ubers resist the STABs of the core and that the weather dominate metagame in ubers causes synergy problems between the members. Another FWG core that I am...

Out of curiosity, does the fire-wate-grass typing core work in ubers? If so, what is a good example of a fire-water-grass core in ubers? Or is there not diversity in uber pokemons to form a cohesive fire-water-grass core

The reason I picked Shaymin is because of it's strong seed flare with the added bonus of doing 2X damage the next time (80% chance of -2 special defense drop) and its 60% flinch rate with air slash. In addition, with its blazing fast speed 127 base speed it makes a great sub seeder. I've...

@Melee Mewtwo There is a bit of history behind this team, being a renewed version of my first ubers team. Originally, the team was kind of a anti-meta team built around palkia, reshiram, and grass-arceus. The team got stuck at around 1500 elo, after a series of trials and error it evolved to...

@Melee Mewtwo I will consider replacing my Deoxy-A with Deoxy-S for some hazard/duo screen support. Thanks for the suggestion. I believe the Genesect problem can be fixed if I change the defensive IV of some of my pokemon to 30, there by preventing a special attack boost. I would also like...
