Awesome! I'm really happy to see portrait mode coming to the app. Thanks to all the devs for this app!

That standard HO team is really quite fun. It's so easy to play as well. Thanks for sharing these teams.

Eh why not? Fairly new here, but maybe I'll get picked up. Username: TR JLo Timezone: CST (GMT-6) Tiers: ORAS Availability: After Finals

First, I want to say thank you to the developers of this app for making this thing come to life. The hard work is much appreciated! I have always played PO because of the android app, which allowed me to play pokemon on the go. Now that PS has an app and a bigger community, the switch seems to...

Oh lordy, competitive Pokemon is so ridiculous sometimes. This post will no doubt be deleted but, it must be said. When Aegi was up for ban an invalid point for anti-ban, as highlighted by the TLs and mods several times, was that it kept many potentially powerhouses from running rampant in the...

Honestly when I read this thread I've come to realize most people arguing for the ban of baton pass are relatively bad at Pokemon. If you play smart and predict you can win against baton pass without a true counter. But because you folks are mostly awful at Pokemon and can't predict even once...

I feel like this has been said so many times but I suppose it can't hurt to say again: You don't wait for the baton pass team to acquire outstanding boosts then decide "oh hey maybe I should haze." Here is a simple process to use haze effectively: 1) Maintain offensive pressure and wear down...

Since its clear that most of smogon refuses to try to adapt to baton pass being a major part of the meta game, I am here to suggest a way to nerf baton pass without making it entirely unviable. What if the combination of stored power and baton pass in the same moveset were banned? Stored power...

Why does everyone here assume that haze quagsire is automatically bad? Yes it ignores stat boosts and that is why I think it is perfect for haze. Switch in quagsire tank the hit, haze, switch out. Boom now that boosted Pokemon is no longer a threat to the rest of your team that doesn't ignore...

Why does there need to be a guaranteed win over baton pass? Isn't it more about strategy than simply having a mindless counter to the team? Shouldn't new strategies evolve to deal with baton pass?

Gliscor isn't nearly as viable as zapdos/smeargle/Mr mime, so why would we run a sub optimal set/poke? Baton pass teams don't have scolipede/vaporeon/zapdos/Mr mime/smeargle/gliscor/sylveon/espeon all on one team. Without one of those key smeargle zapdos or Mr mime baton pass becomes weak to...

I have been beaten by trace gardevoir.. I don't play showdown much so no I have no replays.

I love how the argument is that because baton pass cannot be entirely annihilated by every poke with any strategy it should be banned. No one seems to want to actually admit that there are counters because they don't give a guaranteed win against baton pass. Everyone in the thread wants some god...

Non mega gardevoir carries trace, copy speed boost and outspeed.

No I'm saying that if you guys think that even the viable counters hold a team back then everyone who ran them would be on even ground. I personally don't see how a lot of these counters aren't viable.

Question if everyone starts to run baton pass counters, then everyone is supposedly held back and wouldn't the game become even again. Those who don't adjust probably aren't very good and with the supposed disadvantage they still will be beaten. Mr. Mime is sub par bp now so by the sub par...

Thundurus, mega pinsir, trace mega gardevoir, talonflame, crobat, sturdy, red card, and prankster are all viable and easy to fit into a team... Some of the other moves maybe less viable, but those all are perfectly valid things to use that can easily support your team against other teams as...

As a user of full baton pass I want to say that the hate for this strategy is absurd and illogical. There should not be a ban, the community should simply adjust. Everyone here seems to be complaining that baton pass forces them to incorporate a counter or they lose. Isn't that how the game is...

Ditto is a tricky Pokemon to defeat with baton pass, but only if you don't have a sub up. Not only can it effortlessly pass your boosts to a sweeper, it also has access to your stored power should it copy Espeon or Sylveon. However with a total of 8 boosts, stored power on Espeon guarantees...
