Hello, I hope this question can be answered. I also hope it's correct to post it here.
How does the ELO subtraction system work in Pokémon Showdown? I'm referring to the fact that when you enter the Top Ladder with an ELO above 1500, this amount progressively decreases over time when you stop playing for a few days, regardless of the ELO...
I'd like to understand how this works. How much is the daily ELO that Pokémon Showdown subtracts while the player is not active? I've seen that there are players on the leaderboard whose ELO never decreases; in fact, it remains static at the same amount they left it at... I even know there are players who are inactive... I don't know if it's just me; it seems to me that I always see the same ELO number even if I check it several days later... So... Is there any way to prevent the ELO from decreasing?
Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience, I share all this based on my lack of experience with Ladder in ADV OU
