Besides good stats, ability, and moves, an underrated problem is the combination of dragon dance and STAB knock off. Actually, very few viable pokemon have this combo besides Tyranitar, which is a bad dancer. - If it uses dragon dance, it can beat 99% of pokemon with most sets and usually just...

Zoroark-H is probably better than B-, it's not just a gimmick it has a strong hyper voice, great threat against ghosts which are everywhere, and it's very difficult to predict. Plenty of move options as well, you can do hyper beam or trick for example. I would certainly call it better than...

Armarouge @ Leftovers Ability: Weak Armor Tera Type: Psychic EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Flamethrower - Calm Mind - Stored Power - Iron Defense Very silly set. Weak armor gives you a free +2 boost and compensates for its low speed. Iron defense lets you take the hit...

Shinies are too easy to find, they made it even easier using modern tools, breeding mechanics, and increased chances, and now it's impossible not to find a shiny if you go looking for one. But here's the unpopular part: They should make shinies a 1/32000 chance in my opinion. Make them...

why does my PS avatar keep resetting to default? Shouldn't my selection be stored in PS' database where it would be permanent until i choose to change it?

I think the kanto moltres set could use some minor adjustments, yeah it's a good pivot but it'd be a better pivot with flame body > pressure. I also feel like it could afford to have toxic or substitute or something, especially if it's going to have pressure. It's really hard to do anything to...

found a strange bug when joining a gen2 tournament battle (randbats). can't view the battle, not sure how to replicate, but i'm on chrome and macOS. the messages repeat in this fashion in the entire chat for all turns. was from: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen2randombattle-1499698894...

As it is, when you exit a session, blockpms expires. I forget to turn it back on and get harassed by people after my battles constantly, and sometimes i just simply dont want people to talk to me without consent but once theyre in DMs they dont shut up and you cant hit /blockpms without feeling...

Gonna try keep my words hidden in tags so as to not bombard the thread with text walls. I think viability can be translated roughly to "how well does something perform with the rest of the tier" For example, Feraligatr might be X rank based on the fact that it sets up on an S rank, sweeps...

Is this really true though? venusaur cannot be poisoned by defensive walls which is how stalls usually deal with this kind of setup, moreover it has a boosting move + isnt weak to intimidate, which cant be said for ludicolo and kabutops respectively. Houndoom is similar, it is immune to...
