Is it really dumb and stupid that I want to request that the e-Reader berries be added to Pokémon Showdown? They are technically unique items that you can give your Pokémon in Ruby/Sapphire. The Pumkin Berry does the same thing as the Aspear Berry, the Drash Berry does the same thing as the...

On the in-game guide that lists TM locations in GSC (link: https://www.smogon.com/ingame/guides/gsc_tm_locations ), it is mentioned that TM09 is obtained by importing an Abra from RBY. While this is the only TM that can only be obtained this way, it is perhaps worth noting that there are two...

Hisuian Forms seem to be present in all generations on Smogon's Pokédex, when they should only be in Gen 8. Example: https://www.smogon.com/dex/rb/pokemon/arcanine-hisui/

I disagree. I think that you can get them to work. Pink Bow and Polkadot Bow are fairly obvious based on their names. Berserk Gene is a little bit more obscure, but you can get it to work. Based on the name of the item, it's some DNA-based thing. The player obtains it by using the Itemfinder...

Given that the Teambuilder includes sprites for Pokémon from Gen 6-onwards, despite these being unofficial and not actual in-game sprites, I was wondering if the same could be done with Gen 2 item sprites. The items in question are the Gen 2 Berries (currently uses the Gen 3 berry sprites), the...

Re: Sketch being a TM: I can't seem to find it again, so maybe I'm misremembering, but I do recall when this demo first leaked that I read somewhere that Sketch works differently in the demo than in "regular" Pokémon games. Specifically, it works in reverse: it causes the opponent to learn the...

The ability Queenly Majesty is supposed to protect the Pokémon with the ability, as well as all of its allies, from priority moves. And, indeed, that is how it is programmed into PS. Not bugged. However, the description of the ability in the teambuilder is written to say that it only protects...

So, this isn't really a question... but... there has been something that has been gnawing at the back of my mind for a while, and I'm curious what the rest of the community thinks of it (and I have no idea where else to post it). The way that we tier older generations is suboptimal. We seem to...

Ugh. I just... dislike the inconsistency. If we can't update cart mechanics, then I feel we made the wrong call for Gen 8. Ah well, what do I know?

In GSC, Marowak runs suboptimal IVs whenever it has a Thick Club + Swords Dance on the set, due to a glitch that causes its Attack stat to underflow if it exceeds a certain amount (1024, if I recall correctly). However, since we have now made stat underflows now cap instead as of Gen 8, should...

In Gen 1, Lickitung is unable to learn Lick.

Several Pokémon that are not available in Sw/Sh, have listings of what Sw/Sh TMs/TRs that they can learn, found in Pokémon HOME. Should these be added to their movepools? Full list: https://www.serebii.net/swordshield/hometm.shtml

Ah, ok. My bad. So then... how about we take all of the Pokémon in here and put them over there?

Ty. Yeah. If the “likes” on our posts are anything to go by, my opinion is the more popular of the two, but I’ve accepted that I’m not gonna change the minds of the relevant people. Ah well.

I guess I just don't understand this line of thought. Game Freak is clearly treating it as an NFE (note that it can use an Eviolite). So why can't we? Just because its evolutions aren't yet obtainable? Again, if we're gonna go that route, then maybe we should disallow it from using an Eviolite...

Can.... can we talk about this? I know that when a Pokémon gets added mid-generation (which has happened in the past with event legendaries), it typically starts at OU and has to work its way down. But I think that Slowpoke-Galar is different. While it is true that most Pokémon, at the start of...

In all seriousness, what do the council members think of legalizing Galarian Slowpoke? It clearly CAN evolve, we just can’t obtain its evolution items yet. We know it’s coded this way due to its ability to use the Eviolite.

I mean, there is the Pomeg Glitch in Emerald to help with that. But without the ability to transfer from previous generations yet, this is not a thing we have access to right now.

It can’t evolve though. At least... not yet. Though it can use Eviolite. Hmmm... tough call there.

When WILL we have a definitive answer on whether or not UU will exist?
