    Data Usage-Based Tier Update for October 2024 (November @ #45)

    Usage rates are skewed downwards by mid-month bans. This is more obvious when mons are punted to Ubers.

    Online Competition Team Star Challenge (Nov. 8-10)

    Serebii actually indicates that you must select Revavroom among the Pokemon you fight with, not just put in your team: https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/onlinecompetitions/teamstarchallenge.shtml Serebii.net's home page also says that "you must use a Revavroom in one of the three Pokémon...

    You appear to be unfamiliar with SU - a.k.a. Sub-Zero Used. I'm having a really tough time finding its Smogon thread right now, but evidence there's an entire community you're missing out on are in...

    Research Scarlet & Violet Battle Mechanics Research

    Another user on Pokemon Showdown noticed that Bulbapedia says that Sleep Talked moves that target a single opponent always target the opponent directly across, but https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9partnersincrime-2209861359 contradicts this. Which is right, Bulbapedia or Pokemon Showdown?

    CAP 35 - Part 3 - Typing Discussion

    Typings that contradict the wall role often involve many weaknesses (even with many resists), at least one 4x weakness (hopefully without many resistances - Grass/Steel, Bug/Steel, and Ground/Flying are still too good wall typings due to their many resistances even with singleton 4x weaknesses...

    CAP 35 - Part 2 - Concept Assessment

    If not done carefully, Skeledirge's switch from special wall in OU and below to physical wall in Ubers and AG shows that the definition of "more effective wall" is often highly meta-dependent.

    CAP 35 - Part 2 - Concept Assessment

    This seems like an interesting route to try: Pivot + High Speed + Low Attacking Stats Slow pivots are good because they let teammates switch in for free. Fast, offensive pivots are good because they hit hard and then switch to a check in the same turn - they make good, cautious leads as a...

    CAP 35 - Part 2 - Concept Assessment

    I agree with only going for one ability if we have ability as the contradiction - but it should be one ability period, not one competitive ability and one or more flavour abilities. A Pokemon with one ability that is competitive on paper and at least one ability that CAP would throw in the...

    CAP 35 - Part 2 - Concept Assessment

    I suspect it will be very hard to find ability examples that neither result in the Pokemon not using the ability (e.g. Enamorus-I eschewing Contrary the moment she wants to use Calm Mind) nor result in the Pokemon accepting the double-edged sword (e.g. Tapu Fini, which actually does appreciate...

    CAP 35 - Part 2 - Concept Assessment

    Answering #2: I think moves is the most unexplored route, and the other 3 are more explored. For moves examples, Spectrier's shot coverage and Dragapult's lack of good Ghost physical STAB have already been mentioned, and I'd throw in Dondozo's lack of reliable recovery and being forced to use...

    Metagame Pokemoves!

    Balance is indeed workable in this meta - I got 1st place on the Pokemoves ladder with only balance teams! This is likely the best version of the team, but I did swap some members around on other versions of the team: https://pokepast.es/a090d6359b31adf9 Note that I went with lopsided...
