He's right about everything though

Sand attack isn't banned. And if you're capable of laddering to the top 10 you could've participated in the suspect test and voted against a speedpass ban, like I did. If you aren't good enough to do that, which I suspect is the case, at least recognize that the players making the decision are...

People say stuff like this all the time but the last vote had 55% to ban and needed a 60% supermajority. It would be silly of the council not to revisit, especially as there is still a lot of complaining about bp from the community. If there's a more decisive conclusion I don't expect the test...

Hello all, The other day I made a post comparing this tiering debate to the American Supreme Court doctrine known as Chevron Deference. It was deleted for being "Wildly unnecessarily political" - a claim which I do not contest, but which I hope was due to a somewhat condescending tone and a...

Hello all. I have sworn a solemn oath not to post in the Policy Review subforum, and yet here I am. My belief is that smeargle ddpass and zapdos agilipass are very comparable - both have the potential for uncompetitivity and both have the potential for further exploration in the builder to the...

I apologize for misrepresenting you. When I read this it seems to be positing that there is a united playerbase which wants a ninjask ban, that such a ban would be a good piece of tiering action, and that the will of the people is being thwarted by the dastardly adv council and smogon tiering...

This is untrue. The main argument of giraffe's post is that ninjask should be treated separately from the concept of speedpass / statpass / baton pass as a whole, and that is what I was responding to. I cherrypicked a single passage to quote as a jumping-off point, but that is not the only...

Who hasn't? Zap pass is more consistent than jask pass is anyway. Just because ninjask is easier to pilot for bad players (I guess, they almost always play it wrong anyway) doesn't mean it should be the thing to ban. The insinuation here is that ninjask should be treated separately from baton...

I agree that dug stall leads to centralization in the tier but there are definitely ways to beat it and we already have seen and will continue to see adaptations. It's a natural consequence of certain teams coming in and out of fashion. frankly, I really dislike these teams and their influence...

I don't understand the utility of a resource like this but I appreciate the work that was put into it. My suggestion is to remove solrock, blastoise, celebi, porygon2, and cloyster from the "physical wall" category. For a roles compendium are the mons within each category supposed to be...

This is not a bug to my knowledge. End-of-turn effects (which includes berry activations in adv) activate in a somewhat unintuitive order. Essentially, the salac berry checked whether the swampert was below 25% before it took the burn damage, and then after the burn damage happened it would not...

https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/error-message-for-single-turn-effects-probably-caused-by-3rd-party-extension.3764013/ I am going to link this here because it seems like this may be caused by the showdex extension. Not sure whether or not that can be verified on the back end but just...

Posting this on behalf of FJ2K who apparently is unable to upload images. Apparently the red text did not appear until after the move was used. He has confirmed that he had the showdex extension active.
