the purpose of the solgaleOU movement is to push for an unban of solgaleo in gen 9 ou as it would be exceedingly healthy for the metagame but has very little widespread support from the community. this is likely to be the only chance we get to demonstrate that a gen 9 ou with solgaleo is in fact healthier in a mainstream way. gen 9 ou holds a special place in my heart and its kind of sad seeing it get so centralized so i for one am very behind solgaleOU. that is why i won't be supporting iron fist instead.

i will, however, be pledging all my likes towards SolgaleOU.
 

pledging all of my likes to the cause of an iron fist ladder, and i would implore all other users to do the same.

have you ever wanted to piss on margaret thatcher's grave -- live on pokemon showdown!?

have you ever wanted to simulate an entire fishing-based economy -- and gain elo for doing so?

have you ever wanted to use simple shell smash togepi?

let's be honest -- we all answered "YES!!!" to all of the above.

the time, then, has come to pledge your hard-earned likes to the glorious nation of ironfistlandia. if you want to revel in the glories of ohmyrod, to unleash the power of metapod, or play a metagame with the most ingenious zacian-crowned balancing measure ever devised, then join the cause today!!!

JoltSmash Fragmented Dragonslayerz Jumpheart olivia DuoM2 Gaboswampert The rest of you
wasnt using the rest of these anyways. throw mine on the pile too
 
iron fist folks, i respect the fighting spirit, but unless you can magic up 65,000 more votes it's probably better to throw your weight towards solgaleou. we the smogon proletariat must unite against the elitist entrenched powers who want randbats 1v1 (which, by the way, can just be voted as the randomized format spotlight at any time). better one of us win than both of us lose

neither solgaleo nor 1v1 are the icons of the proletariat you are a load of unfunny tours players and i wish you nothing but torment.

if you help us pull this off, i will do everything within my power to make sure that iron fist gets at least two months in the spotlight at some point later on. you guys have other shots at getting what you want. we only have this one
 
(which, by the way, can just be voted as the randomized format spotlight at any time)
not really; the reason we're trying to win through the vote is that 1v1 random battles voted through the spotlight would just be random battles with the 1v1 modifier, with mons having stealth rocks, support sets, focus sash and the more the merrier, and no real 1v1 sets. Would possibly ruin the whole thing for people trying it.
I like iron fist and I think it would be fun for it to get a ladder, but this is our way of having 1v1 random battles done our way with our sets, and potentially making it a permanent ladder down the line.
i dont have beef with solgaleo + ou but wouldn't you guys also be able to just... get it suspected? I'm sure there must be a good reason why it's not happening, especially since guys like zamazenta have been dropped before

the problem with trying to get solgaleo tested down through the normal process is that the council has total control over the suspect process and most of them don't seem to have any interest in testing it. it's also very difficult to show community support for a test because testing down ubers is a banned topic in the meta discussion thread (for good reason tbh, this is really the only instance where it's actually warranted) and they never put solgaleo on surveys so we're limited to write-ins. this is our only realistic avenue towards getting an actual look at what svou with solgaleo would be like

now hear me out on this. i have no real beef with randbats 1v1 either. i like the idea of it, even. but i don't think this is the vehicle you should use to promote it. i can, and will, help you find other avenues to build the format the way you want it and set it up for more than just a single month in the spotlight, if you help me out with this effort
 
just a reminder @ everyone

you can feel any kind of way about who is bidding their likes towards what, but you need to remember that this is a fun and friendly competition in the off-topic forum for a format to get a ladder for a month (no extensions whatsoever). bashing a format or the people who put likes towards a format because you think they could easily attain their preferred ladder through other means: helps nobody, disincentivizes people from wanting to put likes towards your preferred ladder, and disincentivizes me from wanting to put this up in the future.

also, like this post if i should take 100k likes from Clem
