Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
So, when would you like to start? I remember you asking me not to be a flake when it comes to being your tutee, and yet this is happening. If real-life shit's getting in the way, say something. Don't just leave Soulless Shadow and I out on a limb.
Well, I think 2v2 Doubles would be better than 1v1 Singles for a couple of reasons: There's more potential KO counters, we aren't in dire need of CC (I think), and it will refine our doubles' skills. So, I'll go ahead and post two identical challenges (I accidently jumped in a melee) in the Battle Tower.
Hey SDS! I have three open battle slots, and I'm assuming you do as well (you always do :p), so I was wondering if we could spam training matches against eachother to train up our gym mons.
I fixed my Gym arena. I agree with you that it was too much, so I scaled back my ghost SR to 4/6/8 damage (fair considering that sandstorm or hail deal more damage and considering that a few of my Pokemon are hit SE by Ghost SR). I also axed the "GL always orders second," reduced the Psychic attack BAP reduction to just -1, and applied the STAB innate ability boost to six other types (waters get the +1 Acc/+4 Speed Stat boosts in the moat). Do you think this is good enough?
I wanted to pass a smog article idea by you. I was thinking of writing an introduction to the "balanced hackmons" metagame on Pokemon Showdown. It's a really interesting format, and is actually pretty balanced and strategic. Sweeping takes a lot of effort due to stuff like imposter Blissey, Sturdy Shedinja, and Prankster Spore. It really challenges your initial assumptions about what would be good in such a format, which would make an article both interesting and helpful to those who want to get into it. It also would hopefully bring traffic to PS.
Hi! I heard that, as it's my first time writing a Smog article, I need to have it approved. I'm new to the Smog, so do I just ask you? I'm planning to do the featured RU Pokemon, and will choose Honchkrow. Any other help/tips/advice you could give me would be awesome too. :)
Hello, I think I was supposed to be your tutee the last round, but due to inactiveness and all that I didnt get to contact you. I just wanted to say that Im really sorry if I kept you waiting :C.
Hey SDS, when going over Status Orb Conk, you said to delete Spiritomb from Checks and counters (which I did) then never went back. Can you give a final glance and (hopefully) stamp it? Thanks :)
