Got +200 elo with that NP celebi team you posted :D

Is there a reason the battle log does not scroll down to reveal when someone leaves after a game? It can be annoying to type a message only to find out they've already left

nice username :quagchamppogsire:

Been using this for a while, love it to bits. It's incredible for randbats (sometimes feels borderline cheating lol) and a big improvement on the traditional calc for normal formats. Is there a way to set it so that if you have multiple battles going, the calc tab automatically switches to...

Pascal siakam is balling out team canada better ride that shit. Fuck em up boys :pikuh:

https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/metronome-battle.3632075/ Dunno if there's somewhere that has all a list of/link to rules for all the random metas

My personal attitude towards the matter is not really a power level concern, but rather a conflict with what I understand the goal of National Dex to be and how the (generally great!) rules the tier leaders came up to make this playable lead to a result that feels counterintuitive (to me at...

game freak / nintendo said so when they designed and balanced and released the new pokemon knowing it would be literally impossible for them to use z moves. i enjoy playing this tier but to me, letting curent gen mons use z moves (especially with new moves) feels not so far off from making up...

I'm wondering about the history of 1v1. From my memory, there was no real 1v1 action happening on Shoddy Battle or Netbattle (or even technical support for bring 3 pick 1 type gameplay). I remember PO having a ladder for gen 5 though. Were there 1v1 scenes with their own forums etc in older...

"Guaranteed" may be a bit of a stretch considering the odds of hitting 3 hydro pumps in a row is 51.2%:worrywhirl:

1) Why is there an Elo floor? If you are 1000 and lose a game, doesn't it create more imbalanced games if your rank doesn't reflect that? Some players with 1000-1100 scores will be much worse than others because of this, but they get paired up anyways. 2) If there has to be a floor, why is it...

This is my first time trying to learn a team preview gen and I find myself struggling a lot with deciding what pokemon to lead. I'm currently using the HO sample team with a sash ceaseless edge samurott that I think you're supposed to lead with, but it's also a very obvious lead looking at my...
