I am actually a huge fan of item clause for doubles and I find it one of the best aspects of the VGC. I think removing item clause from Smogon Doubles would allow for more diversity in Pokemon's roles (Life Orb already taken up my another Poke? Find something else) and would in general prevent...

I ask, to what are these multiple years of development actually referring? If you mean to say that half a decade of four vs. four double battling under Nintendo's officially sanctioned format, a metagame which has not yet had consistent rules for an extended period of time and has sometimes...

Sounds more like arrogance and snide remarks than actual criticism. I wonder who who are these influential players that are judging the closest style of competitive play to their own based only on a handful of comments in a single thread? I would recommend these players take a step back and...

Wow! Beat Up on Justified Terrakion was really a sight see. Does your team have any Psych Up users to take advantage of the stat boost? Psych Up works through protect, so it shouldn't be too hard to scare the opponent into a free turn to use it. Looking forward to seeing more battles from you.

This is great to see a standard doubles ladder up so quickly. I encourage everyone who reads this thread who has a mild interest in double battling to give things a shot. You won't be disappointed. I honestly feel that the current state of the game will yield the best double battling since...

The 6v6 metagame is definitely not going to use Nintendo's ban list. For one, Nintendo's ban list is based on accesibility and level and the point of the "standard metagame" is to create a ban list based on criteria for competitive battling. Imagine if Jirachi was banned from singles because...

I would like to be a part of this. :] My experience with double battling goes back to the RSE era and I have been playing ever since. While I prefer standard doubles (6v6), the VGC format has grown on me and I play it frequently but I am far from satisfied with its rules and ban list. I'm...

Give that Hariyama a Flame Orb and you will kill things very quickly.

If you use Skill Swap, Gastro Acid, or Worry Seed on Regigigas in Diamond and Pearl, its stats will return to normal the instant you remove or cancel its Ability. I can't imagine this would work any differently in Platinum. --- @Yarnus vs Hartwig; you might want to use a more deceptive...

Yes, Safeguard prevents you from being confused by Swagger but I am not so sure that it prevents confusion from Outrage, Peta Dance, and Thrash.

If anybody would like to play on Netbattle, I'm in Mewshrine at the moment.

Just be sure to watch out for Empoleon! :p That should be fine as long as you have something that can deal with Metals and Water types.

It does, yes, but my point is that unless you do Psych Up Snorlax after it Bell Drums, Bullet Punch isn't going to do anything. It would be best to have a more versatile set so that you can still do some damage in the situation where you weren't able to Belly Drum or Psych Up (will happen).

Oh, no you won't get anything like that as long as you download it from the official site.

I'm not sure what you mean by "legit" but think of a more robust version of Shoddybattle.
