What's supposed to happen if I counter a U-Turn? I ask, because in shoddy 1, and early versions of Shoddy 2, the U-Turn user switches out, and whatever switches in takes counter damage. Now however, nothing is damaged whatsoever. I'd like to know if this behavior is a bug that was fixed, or...

I can see him being used in much the same way against stall teams as well, though with the cost of not being able to effectively revenge kill anymore. You forget that ditto's pp refreshes with being switched in, and a majority of stall teams run phazing moves.

The idea is you send the starmie in on something it forces out, and substitute on the switch. If they send in a ditto, well fine, it gets one attack against a substitute while you're free to OHKO it. If it's non-scarfed, it doesn't even get the attack, unless for some bizarre reason it's also...

I think that the situation of ditto versus ditto in a situation where both are locked into non damaging moves only to struggle to death is so unlikely as to not be worth planning on, especially when it ultimately comes down to a coin toss. If ditto is allowed into this metagame, you're going...

I'm using open office calc, but it has those same functions. The problem is that because of the large values we're dealing with, it truncates them (I think) at some point during the calcuations, which causes some discrepancy. For example, I know from a thread here that the product of 41C64E6D...

What hexadecimal calculator would you guys recommend? I've found several on the internet, and they all seem to disagree with some examples provided on this forum. I ask, because I can't get RNGreporter to run in WINE (running Lucid Lynx Ubuntu), due to an error with the .net framework...

I was under the assumption that Fake Out to break the sash and ice shard to finish would work.

My bad, Weavile doesn't actually completely destroy aerodactyl. I was under the impression that ice shard was a OHKO. It is a 2HKO, so aero has a choice much like Azelf of setting up rocks or breaking a sash.

I would seriously recommend having some other way of dealing with entry hazards on your team. Perhaps a more dedicated anti lead, in addition to your rapid spinner. You don't need stealth rocks as much if your main sweeper is going to be immune to damage, so eliminating one of the sources of...

I wouldn't support the unbanning of wobbufett, simply because if two players use wobbufett, it's going to suck. What about this for a format. Players choose teams of 6 (or any number that would make the metagame better, obviously a minimum of 3). 3 1v1 matches are played, where a player can...

I don't think that's the best idea to be constructive. You should rather just play on the suspect ladder. The more players on that, the more statistically significant any conclusions can be drawn. Think about it. We already know salamence can sweep. But we don't know how good a metagame...

I don't know about Sword's Dance on Rhyperior. Bronzong uses trick room. 1 turn Switch or explode to rhyperior 2 turns Swords Dance 3 turns. 2 turns of attacks. With good prediction you can make a lot of those two attacks, sure, but I think having 3 turns open could do you better, while...

About your image problem. I don't believe that smogon is capable of hosting images that regular users submit in posts, that come from their own hard drives. #1, I can't imagine that would be very secure for the users, and #2 since smogon is a very popular site, your upload limit on whatever...

It can actually be to your advantage to bring up a lower tiered pokemon into your team as 1) nobody plans extensively for them and 2) it can fill a niche role much better than it's ou counterparts.

I read about Celebi and the Legendary Dog's getting new moves does anyone know when they would be implemented in shoddy?

Jolteon might be a useful addition to your team. Timid Max S. Attack just sneaks in a guarenteed OHKO against bulky DD gyra with charge beam. He can baton pass agility or substitutes, and with luck, some +SpA. The best advice i can give you against perish song is making your team focused...

If you're having trouble with substitute gengar, blissey is pink,and can abuse the hell out of natural cure. Though, pain split hurts it.

No worries.

Magic Coat, not mirror coat. Magic coat bounces back status moves. Also, while parahax is useful bear in mind that it isn't that reliable. Given how speedy your team can be overall however, having reliable paralysis probably isn't as useful as freeing up a moveslot.

A special Infernape can do wonders against Swampert (Grass Knot) and Skarmory (fire blast, flamethrower, overheat etc), two of the most common phazers around. It also gets access to priority, and can run a physical close combat so it doesn't get walled by blissey. You're gliscor is taunt...
