I'm breaking the tie between Jhall99 and DazzlingCream. I couldn't determine which one I liked more, so I ran both on the ladder an equal number of times until one lost while the other won, and the winner secured my vote. Thus, the winner is DazzlingCream! From DazzlingCream...

In a close round of voting, with an wide spread of votes cast between many participants, the winner of the teambuilding competition for Eeveelutions is Robertshortgrass! :Vaporeon: :Swampert: :Latias: :Heatran: :Rotom-Wash: :Scizor: From Robertshortgrass: https://pokepast.es/3f93eaae01752a4a...

The math was just: 0.9^6 > 0.5 0.9^7 < 0.5 0.99^68 > 0.5 0.99^69 < 0.5 0.7^1 > 0.5 0.7^2 < 0.5 0.77^2 > 0.5 0.77^3 < 0.5 That is, calculating how many attacks are required in a row before it becomes unlikely (i.e., less than a 50% chance) for them all to hit.

Not sure if I agree with the math here, but I agree with the sentiment. Its better to buff the accuracy of already accurate moves than it is to try and increase the accuracy of less accurate ones. The way I like to think of it is: 9/10 means that you need to attack 7 of more times before you...

So sorry! I've fixed it now.

I'm entering my own competition with a fun team featuring Aqua Ring Pass Vaporeon. :zapdos: :donphan: :jirachi: :vaporeon: :clefable: :cresselia: The idea is to use basic paraspam Pokémon, and fit a way to pass aqua ring to various recipients. Cress is the best to pass to when facing stall...

The votes are in; and the winner of the teambuilding competition for Azelf outside the lead slot is Steve22 in a close vote! :heatran: :azelf: :latias: :flygon: :suicune: :metagross: From steve22: https://pokepast.es/51dc80e9471c66da Since it is an even numbered competition, the next theme can...

The trouble with this approach is that once you start ignoring probabilities to calculate your answer, the answer you calculate wont be a probability anymore. It will be something else. To show you why, consider this. A player has a paralyzed latias, but over the course of 10 turns without...

I think your example is a good one to illustrate the difficulty. First of all, your labeling of the turns can cause some confusion since you call the events which occur on turn 1, turn 2, and turn 3 as 'Turns 1 through 4'. How will other users communicate when some people use 'Turns 1 through...

Voting has begun for the teambuilding competition featuring Azelf outside of the lead slot! The competition is fierce with these four formidable entries vying for the top spot. The teams submitted were: :dragonite: :azelf: :starmie: :Latias: :heatran: :scizor: From Jhall99...

It's a cool idea but it runs the risk of the probability being calculated incorrectly in some circumstances. Also, if you restrict it to these clear cut scenarios like the one you gave as an example, then you will miss a lot of low odd scenarios where people might feel they deserve the...

If you don't mind running a slower metagross, then zoom lens will grantee a hit with meteor mash against an opponent who uses a move first. Wide lens may be a better middle ground though since it still functions when they switch, and you don't have to be slower.

You heard them! The next theme is Azelf outside of the lead slot! The submission deadline of this competition is Saturday the 30th of August, at 11:00 pm GMT. As usual, the winner of this competition gets to choose the next theme. Submissions are open now, and as mentioned earlier, will close...

There is a 3 way tie at the moment between Blåhaj Blast, George182, and Sevenor3. I'm breaking this by voting for George182's team. I think its similar to something I would make. Congratulations to George182 in this close competition for the rhyperior theme! From George182...
