I think this is the right thread for this? It's not a bug but it's an addition to a move page which I think doesn't go in the other thread. I feel like the Axe Kick page should probably mention that unlike all other types of confusion, which last 2-5 turns, Axe Kick inflicts confusion that...

Unlike some crybabies I think supermajority was super necessary for this vote, even as someone who would've preferred to see action. Tera is the defining mechanic of the gen and shouldn't be banned unless its very clear its what the community as a whole really wants. I also know and want to...

After seeing Hydreigon put below its Paradox counterpart, I want to share a fairly spicy set. Hydreigon @ Life Orb / Focus Sash / Dragon Fang Ability: Levitate Tera Type: Fire / Dragon EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Stealth Rock - Taunt - Draco Meteor - Fire Blast /...

Covert Cloak blocks Salt Cure. This isn't currently implemented on Showdown. There's probably more we're missing about this item but this is likely the most pressing. Edit: Have to go but wanted to run through one more set of checks. I don't have time to check how Showdown currently...

Please read more thoroughly. I was talking about using this as an additional restriction to a single-terastral teambuilding restriction. In that scenario it would be a bluff, because you decided which mon would be your terastralizer before the game started instead of during it.

Want to drop 2c but also don't want to go far enough in-depth for a PR post. I think it's at least worth attempting to keep Terastral around since it's not even vaguely as broken as Dynamax. It's also probably too good to keep totally untouched forever, people will just continue to find new...

Arceus appears normal type, but it and Judgment both retain the typing from the Plate. Wanted to mess around with this a bit. Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orb no longer form change them. It's now Adamant Crystal, Lustrous Globe, and Griseous Core that do. The Origins can be hacked to hold...

The opportunity cost for Last Respects is not your team dying. Scarf was a reasonable revenge killer in mid stages of the game and a brutal game ender as anchor, with somewhere between Zero set-up, or at most, slapping a Tyranitar on your team. Sand Stream doesn't even cost turns to set up...

There was talk of the Gen 8 restrictions to catching being lifted, I'm not sure how well established they are but I wanted to add a quick test to the pile. This is the best I could find quickly in a new save with 0 Gyms done. Lv 14 Gimmighoul vs Level 40 Hippowdon 99% Health, WHILE ASLEEP Note...

:mantine: Mantine @ Leftovers Ability: Water Absorb EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Scald - Mirror Coat - Roost - Haze / Defog I know this looks like a shitpost but like +6 252 SpA Tinted Lens Venomoth Bug Buzz vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Mantine: 258-306 (69.1 - 82%)...

Also been trying out some Sheddy stall to some degree of success, been using a very similar team but SkarmBliss over Snorlax/Tran. I opted to slightly dodge the passivity of Blissey by running Seismic Toss + Shadow Ball as a hard stop for Gengar while still having SToss to provide real damage...

Was messing around with shed stall a few nights ago, was doing well even in high ladder, went 16-1 during my first session (and the loss was just due to air slash flinch hax so whatever) :xatu: :shedinja: :chansey: :blastoise: :roserade: :quagsire: Shedinja will likely keep a lot of stuff in...

Current meta seems pretty dominated by HO and rain variants. Between Blaziken, Latios, Kingdra, and Manaphy, it looks pretty hard for anything that's not stall to keep offensive threats in check, creating a bunch of offensive team variants that are trying to outpace each other. Of the things...

Birdspam: https://pokepast.es/8103a86c6a46fd4d Max birdspam, featuring honorary bird Blaziken, been using it in top 100 and climbing. Uses banded Staraptor + Specs Moltres to basically shred under-prepared teams. Aero keeps rocks off and gets rocks up, has Tailwind to give Staraptor or...

I checked out a version from the repo from about 7 months before release to see how skill_intp.c looked compared to current. It's definitely much shorter for one, mostly due to missing many moves (such as U-Turn) but you can see some things going on there. Backtracking on my old discoveries, the...

Post inspired me to do a bit of digging to look into old glitches, so I started looking for stuff and this one baffled me, because this dump is pre-JP release, right? if(client_no==client_set_max){ SkillSeqInc(sp,adrs); } //おいうち発動なら、こだわり系のチェックをする else{ {...

Funbot28 literally beating me to the punch on this opinion in this middle of me typing this, but I'll post it anyways Considering this topic is in relation to the unreleased TM/TR movepools, I do want to voice a concern when it comes to blindly implementing the datamined list. Keep in mind that...

I'm coming back to ask questions on what the actual, official existing policy even is, because Home implementation into PS seems incorrect. I'm not sure if this is because of a mistake, if I misunderstand what the current policy is, or whatever else could be going on here. Allegedly, everything...

I went and got a decent list together of some notable moves learned. This list isn't comprehensive, and I'll update it if I find anything else.

I don't really see how the quantity of Pokemon changes things much compared to any other meta that's had additions. Time's not really a factor either, since sometimes we'd have to wait years for 3rd version exclusive mons that would signficantly shake up OU. We can't plan as far ahead since we...
