Why is this a problem, exactly? I thought the main reason we were discussing changes was to limit stall. Limiting playstyles isn't necessarily bad, as it means other playstyles are enhanced. Destroying stall's viability might be bad, but I don't think that's going to happen. Stall would still...

Those are reasonable ideas for fixing stall, but one idea that might be simpler is to reconsider Ability Clause (that is, one ability per team). The current ability clause thing was a clever idea, and it made sense to play with it for a while, but I think it didn't actually fix the problem. A...

Confirming.

Daaang, instead of a game of pokemon I played a game of who's going to be the bigger man, and lost. Hopefully I'm better at pokemon so I can take down Glyx for us :)

Dr. Phd. BJ is on, but afk. I've already waited multiple hours twice for him at arranged times (I meant 11 PM at -8 GMT, 7 am GMT, I think that was clear). I don't want to do it again, and it sounds like he's wasted more than enough time too, so Dr. Phd. BJ can have the win. I only tried to take...

My bad, thought you wanted me to take the win because you said take the win if you didn't show up again then didn't show up, but obviously I'd much rather battle so let's battle yo

Scheduled with Dr. Phd. BJ , they didn't show up-might be quite sick =/ Taking the win, I guess. Banning Water Shuriken

gg :) I did click ignore spectators, and DLd the replay. Might post it later (not sure how to do that with a downloaded one anyway), but feel to post whatever you've got. Banning Choice Scarf.

Dark type will sometimes be slightly suboptimal because of justified, however rarely that might come up. I can understand trying to preserve your IVs, but probably the only IV where you'll notice a difference between 30 and 31 is speed. Of the types allowing 31 speed IVs, I think steel is...

Slowbro's physical movepool is terrible, and running regirock without a stab seems bad; it's simply too weak to check something like taunt talonflame, which sets up all over it. You could run oblivious+toxic, I guess. Even then, slowbro's lack of rocks means that your tflame opponent can simply...

I've played a couple togekiss teams on showdown, but I guess 'popular' is a bit strong for any team in this meta, with how few games are being played. I think it's one of the biggest offensive threats, comparable to gale wings or protean. If you don't have anything that can revenge or stall...

One solid overlord I'd like to point out: Politoed! Although it's currently PU, we've seen in a number of tiers that drizzle+damp rock+swift swim is very strong. Politoed has lots of potential rain abusers as followers, like mega swampert, kingdra, kabutops, and ludicolo, plus the potential...

I'm noticing that this team lacks a hustlespeed-spam togekiss check, as well as a talonflame check, which seems shaky for a defensive team as both are very strong and common. It's hard to find a counter for either, but some normal/flying resist would be nice-heatran over clef seems a good choice...

Won vs. LaxLapras, but holding off on a ban for now because I'm not really sure what we're supposed to do this round. EDIT: Did Chopin ban focus sash or skarmory? the rule sets conflict on that.

In, banning serene grace.

Focus blast may be mediocre, but the incompatibility between Nasty plot and scrappy is annoying. Any boomburst arceus is hard-walled by giratina, which seems like the most common special wall. Unaware mons are also a big problem; SpD xerneas for example cannot be 2hkod. Specs scrappy could be an...

Hey, the banlist doesn't actually work on aqua. I'm not sure if the coders were already aware of this, but anyone playing on aqua probably should be. I first noticed it when my opponent ran soul dew latios, but you can pretty much run anything legal in ubers. Replay with two ubers teams...

I prefer max speed magnemite. It has the same base speed as pdon, which generally doesn't run max speed, and you can easily 2hko even without analytic. Xerneas can ohko you unboosted with hp ground or focus blast, even if magnemite runs max hp. Nobody is gonna click geomancy on a magnemite. If...

It sounds like smeargle was unbanned because BP clause is supposed to be a thing. But BP clause isn't actually implemented on the ladder. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/350cup-299777395 I'm not totally sure it would be broken with BP clause, but it's definitely broken without it. Replay just...

Laddered up to #1 for no reason after the reset, figured I'd share my team like everyone else. Medicham @ Medichamite Ability: Speed Boost EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Knock Off - High Jump Kick - Swords Dance - Protect Chansey @ Eviolite Ability: Synchronize EVs: 4 HP / 252...
