I'm probably not the best person to ask since all my teams these days tend to revolve around shitmons. The main example that I'm working with atm would be Wrap teams, however even then I'm mostly experimenting with ideas that are probably bad, like solo Dragonair and ToxWrap. I went looking...

Honestly if I'm running Laxless I tend to default to Don+Bro (Cloyster is notable as well lol), which is one of the more common Laxless structures. As mentioned Don can fill Lax's shoes but it really wants safe switches- Water types that are capable of threatening Chansey are top of the list...

Dude there's probably browser extensions that are better suited for this- get one to block play.pokemonshowdown.com and you're done without the need for bans you could probably use an antivirus/firewall or something to achieve the same effect as well

Honestly relatable. For me this isn't too big an issue for anime, since episodes are usually 25ish minutes, but for western shows that run for like an hour each, I'll typically be pausing for a little bit at some point for no reason in particular. Come to think of it, I feel like this might be...

It's better to do something rather than nothing, it sounds like you'd benefit a lot from talking to someone. As far as making excuses goes, one of the first things a psychologist should do is push you to do things you know you'll enjoy, even if you don't feel like it. Even when you come up with...

Honestly forgot there were legality checks in stadium lol

I'm looking at the RBY community spotlight format vote, and Stadium Tradebacks isn't listed, despite being imo the 4th relevant version of G1. I know Stadium isn't nearly as popular as RBY, but I am curious to see if anyone would be interested in giving it a try?

Arguably not anime bc it's a Chinese production, but I'm really enjoying To Be Hero X atm. Honestly the narrative structure is really interesting- jumping around the different hero's backstories should work against it, doubly so because it feels like a prequel to something, but it's cohesive...

I agree with hehehehclefairy in that this team looks incredibly awkward into Chansey, and can probably use a Lax. Clamp is just not reliable as a plan for Chansey due to its terrible accuracy, missing and getting paralysed seems like it would undermine the team greatly. The other thing I'll...

I've since had this happen even when I clicked Fight, so I don't think it's dependent on what move is clicked

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen1ou-2407679910 On turn 37, I Wrap the opposing Chansey. On turn 38, opponent switches to Zapdos, meaning Wrap is used again and it hits On turn 39 the second hit of Wrap misses??? I clicked Thunder Wave if anyone's wondering Pretty sure the first hit of...

Not to dispute your point, but I think this is a funny example bc I'm pretty sure Leer (or Tail Whip) Rhydon is significantly more relevant than Toxic

There's a bunch of stuff that's recommended in the teambuilder that's good in later gens but not used much in RBY, pretty sure that's the case here

I'm really curious what everyone's thoughts are on Persian. We're seeing a huge spread in terms of where people are ranking it with some people putting it on the fringes of b and others putting it towards the bottom of D and now Serpi putting it in E, below stuff like Golem. I haven't used it...

The frustrating thing about that is that we didn't do that on Pokemon Perfect to be different, it was because we saw it as an upgrade. I'm pretty sure Lutra's said that the numerical convention was intended to improve upon smogon's convention and not just be a PP thing
