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.

On Saturday the 30th (UCT the entire day), we are hosting a ChatBats mini-ladder tour! At midnight, Emika will reveal a laddering prefix. The person who reaches the highest position on the ladder using this prefix by the end of the day will be the first person who can choose the next Pokemon to be added to ChatBats (instead of using !randpoke).
We reworked Tatsugiri today, and edited some other mons too! We also learned a valuable lesson on the costs of democracy:
[17:15:33] Affles:emi whyyyy
[17:15:44] Affles:its not sashimiii
[17:15:45] Emi'$ Katana♡:Affles the tier is made by the people ;;
[17:15:55] Affles:sometimes they're wrong :sob:
Terapagos now has Protect instead of Earth Power/Dark Pulse on its offensive set. This allows it to stall a turn if it gets a non-favorable type and can also be helpful for scouting moves or healing with Leftovers.
Terapagos will also no longer be able to Terastallize. Being able to transform into Stellar form at will was incredibly strong, while also removing the whole identity of the mon.
Pelipper will have U-turn added to its Choice Specs set. This should allow it to be more flexible and less reliant on predictions to have value.
Milotic will now only generate Haze, along with dual Stabs and Recover. We removed some generally useless moves such as Ice Beam and Substitute, as well as Dragon Tail and Toxic, which both had the same role as Haze in preventing setup mons from abusing Milotic.
Delibird will no longer generate Life Orb instead of Heavy-Duty Boots. The combination of a 4x Rocks weakness, Brave Bird recoil, and Life Orb damage caused Life Orb Delibird sets to be difficult, and in some matchups impossible, to use effectively.
Tatsugiri was fully reworked, building on a new identity as a supportive wallbreaker, using Scarf to boost its Speed and Sashimi Shuffle to pivot around and heal allies. Regenerator allows it to shrug off chip damage, but it must be careful of hazards if it wants to use Water Spout with maximum power. Switcheroo allows it to remove the Choice Scarf to cripple foes and unlock its moves, but at the cost of being vulnerable to faster foes.
