I was so disappointed in S/V not having a battle facility that I decided to invent sets for a hypothetical one. It took a few months to finish, but it was enjoyable and taught me a lot about the move pools and potential of many Pokemon. https://pastebin.com/sXXKkjZ4 While I did use plenty of...

Congratulations on the BDSP streaks. It's nice to see another Day 1 Smogoner still having fun with the games all these years later!

The Nerd of Now calc mistakenly gives Incineroar a 0 Attack IV on its standard set. After correcting that: 4+ Atk Sword of Ruin Incineroar Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 188 HP / 4 Def Dragonite: 94-112 (49.4 - 58.9%) -- 99.6% chance to 2HKO 44 Atk Sword of Ruin Incineroar Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 188...

Alolan Golem does not learn High Horsepower by TM, despite Alolan Geodude, Graveler, and the entire Kantonian line learning it.

I think this is an old behavior of NPC/AI controlled Pokemon going back multiple generations. It is most noticeable in battle facilities. Whenever opposing Pokemon are slower, but know a move that lowers speed like Icy Wind or Electroweb, they usually just spam it until they are faster. I'm...

Yes, this is something increasingly relevant for GBA SP players as the years go by. I think that GBA SP is the greatest gaming system ever made, but the degrading battery has become a problem for me, too. I recently lost a good Metroid Fusion speed-run because of it, so I feel your pain. If you...

My ultimate copium is telling myself that the Battle Tower will return with gen 3-to-7 style rules, replacing the old 100 and 200-win streak prizes of Lansat and Starf Berry, which are currently available by other means, with rewards of 100 and 200 Tera Shards of each type. I suspect that I'll...

What exact set would you use? I've been trying to find a way to make Lokix work, but the best results I've had for now just seem to be from a simple set like this: Lokix @ Silver Powder / Clear Amulet / Focus Sash Ability: Tinted Lens Level: 50 Tera Type: Bug EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe...

I thought that two-to-five hit moves had probabilities of one-third for two hits, one-third for three hits, one-sixth for four hits, and one-sixth for five hits. Did this change?

The AI always did seem to be confused about Low Kick and Grass Knot, but not about Heat Crash and Heavy Slam. Seeing this observed by someone else is nice. Thanks!

The pokepaste link is broken.

Ho-Oh is incorrectly listed as learning Tailwind. Under the priority category, Bullet Punch is incorrectly spelled as Buller Punch.

This is fantastic! Thanks!

That program seems fantastic. You would be a great person to make or work on damage calculators. Have you contacted anyone to discuss adding this functionality to them? It would be amazing.
