yup! high jump kick is an egg move from a hitmonlee father and sucker punch is a level up move :) i wouldn't recommend high jump kick over the level up move close combat though - you'll start to notice that imperfect accuracy moves are really difficult to maintain high streaks with in the tower...

it's a different system - once you get a streak of 49 and beat palmer twice in the regular battle tower (which has generally not great pokemon), you'll unlock Master Class battles where you'll start to see quality opponents. once you unlock Master Class battles though, it remains permanently...

this is similar to a previously shot down discussion to tier terapagos' formes seperately and as ZRP mentioned earlier, while the specifics are very different, i supported that then and i support this much easier to implement and justify change as well. it's very tiring that discussions to...

these are great! to add to this i think whimsicott could be a cool bring too, it's got a great type and movepool into this raid and really only fears acrobatics. its general frailty does make it a risky pick but it has one of the best defensive options for raids like this imo in cotton guard, so...

i'd wager it has 4 coverage moves and dragon dance as an extra move - if it doesn't have thunder punch i think sap sipper azu just sits on this thing effortlessly! would be fun if it had an item to go with unburden but i doubt it :worrywhirl:

it does work! however the damage dealt is a pittance (it might scale to the pokemon's HP prior to the HP multiplier), doesn't go through shields like all status moves and i'd assume removing negative effects also removes leech seed. personally not sure if it's worth it since the animation for...

this definitely seems like one of the toughest to solo, especially if it has calm mind. primarina's coverage is just SO good raid regulars like goodra-h and sap sipper azu should do pretty good, but i can also see empoleon being universally great here! resistance to moonblast and water STAB is...

fixed, thank you!

agreed, but i still think it should be suspected regardless - TBs were banned in an entirely different era of policymaking and suspecting them properly even if it'd certainly result in a universal "no" from the playerbase would mean we'd have an actual vote to point at, rather than it being...

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics What is the bug? there are two bugs that are both present in ruby and sapphire that are not implemented on sim: one of these bugs is an interaction between Shed Skin and Nightmare, where, after shed skin clears sleep, nightmare still remains...

very fun games, thank you for sharing them here and for giving the tier a shot!! mawile went crazy in that last game, i underestimated the value of having a decent steel type in this meta :O i've done a lot of theorymonning on fancy cup and i think rotom might be top 1. it's by far the...

Light Cup This format is weight-based like Fancy Cup and limits Pokémon to their earliest evolutionary stage, but does not place any specific restrictions on height and has a much higher limit on weight. Additionally, there are no restrictions placed on the sum of the team's level. The...

Fancy Cup A format for cute Pokémon, Fancy Cup is characterized by its unique "level sum" limit similar to early Nintendo Cup formats and its restrictions on height and weight.

Approved by 16bit Introduction Generation IV introduced a plethora of new, official battle rules that could be chosen for matches at the Pokémon Communication Club inside any Pokémon Center. These included the Standard Cup and Doubles Cup rulesets, which would both later be reworked into the...

Quite a few formats have been lost to time as Showdown aims to simulate the game as it is currently played / as it was played by the end of a generation, and I think that's a shame! These "early formats" are often substantially different than the ones we have at the end of a generation - where...

oh wow, i'd totally forgotten about this - thanks for the poke! the issues i faced really came from lack of available research online (and lack of time to research it myself) as well as the gen 9 games taking away most of my time. i would like to complete this still, but i'm unsure how much time...

this is correct and i'd neglected to mention this in my first post so i appreciate the correction here! i think the difference between this and freeze though in my opinion is that freeze is a secondary effect of an attacking move while sleep is the primary effect of a status move - one is out...

i really don't think freeze clause mod is that egregious or comparable to sleep clause mod. on cart you'd just replay the game 1:1 if a second freeze occurs, which would take a while, sure - but is theoretically possible on cart. on sim, we don't have to endure the long and arduous process of...

i wouldn't use gen 1 tradebacks as precedent for this case, personally - the only reason gen 1 is played without tradebacks is because, like most archaic rulings, a few people from ancient times simply did not like the idea of playing with tradebacks, so it was banned without any sort of formal...

i agree wholeheartedly with most of this post and i think it's really well put, but i don't agree with introducing a new win condition to the game. frankly if there's any win condition that's more than just "make the opponent run out of Pokemon", players will find a way to abuse it via methods...
