  1. Troubles Running Shoddy Battle? READ Before Asking

    This is the problem I had. I fixed it by restoring my router to factory defaults.
  2. Troubles Running Shoddy Battle? READ Before Asking

    I'm having the same problem others are having: being unable to connect to the server from the login window. In particular, Shoddy doesn't crash or hang, it just fails to connect, with no error message or whatever. I tried running it from the terminal. That was pretty interesting. When I tried...
  3. Post new creative movesets/EV spreads here:

    AgiliLuke Lucario (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Inner Focus EVs: 120 Atk/136 Spd/252 SAtk Rash nature (+SAtk, -SDef) - Agility - Dark Pulse - Hidden Power [Electric/Ice] - Close Combat EVs give it 250 before Agility, beating the no-speed 100s (basically Jirachi) and 500 speed after Agility...
  4. A potential discovery regarding Counter and Mirror Coat.

The question is whether the thaw function happens before negative priority moves. I don't know the mechanics that well, where all the checks and stuff...

  6. Notice this in the D/P Elite Four?

    The only way developers know how to make a game more challenging is brute force. In pokemon this basically means level abuse. Yes, Gamefreak can see that it shouldn't give -random bad poke- to the AI, but what it can't see is the complicated dynamic that arises only from leaving a game to a...
  7. Choice Scarf... its effects on the Metagame

    FadeAway had it. People will at all times try to optimize their success. At some point outspeeding things won't be worth it. I won't go so far as to say that causes a rise in stall teams, but maybe just generally more cautious and defensive play. Bottom line, these things are cyclical. I lead...
  8. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 9

    Lefties recover rounds down, right, so an HP of 399 recovers the same as 384? Also, can someone clarify the boost from Wide Lens? I've heard numbers thrown around all over the place including flat +10, proportional +10, etc.
