Is there a speed glitch on Showdown? My Timid 31 IV 252 EV Charizard Y has gotten outsped by an Assault Vest Goodra twice now. I'm running it on a Sticky Web team if that means anything.

Were you in the same priority bracket? Was your opponent telling the truth about Goodra holding an assault vest? Seems like a dumb question but was trick room in effect? Did you forget to put EVs on your charizard and your opponent was running some random-ass fast goodra? :x

If you could provide a replay of this happening, then it would be much, much easier to ascertain what the problem was. This kind of issue is largely reported and it's almost never the case the it was the fault of the program. I apologize if that comes of as offensive; however, there are so many things that can change move order that it's too hard to explain what happened from your post.

Yeah I'm aware that it's a common misreported error. I just checked and apparently I was using a negative priority move and I wasn't aware of that.
 
Is there any way to be reminded of my password? It logged me out and I can't remember the password, and none of my usual passwords are working.
 
Never mind. I reset my password from a different computer.
Heads up on a possible error, though. The password resetter wants you to type your old password first, but it said I got the old password incorrect but it still reset it.
 
Whenever I try to play on pokemon showdown, all the windows and content will show up for a brief time period and quickly disappear so it basically leaves me staring at the wallpaper and unable to play. It seems to me that I'm the only one having this issue. Any know hows to fix this??
 
I just logged into showdown, and it says I have no teams. But I do have a team that I'm very proud of, and I can show you replays of me using it. The last time I had the opportunity to delete it accidentally was when I switched from M-Luke to M-Pinsir, and I know I've used it since then. I know I can just remake the team, but where should I post to see if I can get it back?

This message regards the private chatroom "Showderp". Now Showderp is a group of highly active members, but this thing is, is that Showderp has become a place for trolls and spammers to plan many attacks. I can assure you, half the percentage of them have been banned temporarily due to various spam attacks and posting shocksites on to any chatroom they plan on seeing. I used to run a chatroom and some of them would come in and spam the chatroom followed by links that redirect you to your own facebook account. One of the very reasons I have quit running that chatroom. I've seen it in numerous amounts of chatrooms. Any continuation of "Showderp" should be provoked. A chatroom is supposed to have a warm welcome to new guests. When I go to say Hi, they treat me very rudely and have a lot of vulgar and sexual things to say to me, but I'm not the only one, it happens to ll people who plan on going into their chatroom. If any further information about this chatroom comes into place, please notify me. Thank you.
This guy wrote this a couple of months ago, but no one replied to it, so I thought I could continue a little bit on his post. First of all I agree with everything he says, even tho everything that happened to him has not happened to me. I first met those guys in a match, they were poor losers and they even tried stuff like this on me http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/18/53/63/69/lel12.jpg. To me it's a bunch of trolls who often breaks the rules, spams in chats, tries to trick the oponent to disconnect mid-battle and such. And when you try to join their room, they ban you immedeatly and asks you not to say anything about the room.

you can always /ignore them, or if they become v abusive report them to a mod just like you would any user. apart from that, the room is private for a reason & calling them out in a public thread is just asking for trouble / doesn't fix anything. if you have any pressing concerns PM me or another mod/leader about them and we will try and clear it up for you.
 
So whats with the ridiculously out of control ladder decay that kicks in within like 10 hours of your last battle and strips like 5% of your ladder rating immediately?

I believe if you're battling you can do /modchat players and it silences everyone but you and the opponent. Of course if the other guy is one of them they can probably undo it.
 
Hey, I'm relatively new, and I was wondering how I could set the ability of a pre-Mega pokemon on the Teambuilder. For example, I run a Mega Heracross in my TR team, and I'd like normal Hera's ability to be Moxie, for boost opportunity on revenge kills pre-Mega evo. The ability defaults to Swarm, though. How can I change this?

Welcome! When you're in the teambuilder, go to Heracross and click the ability box where it says Swarm. Once you do that, the list of abilities for you to choose from should appear below.

You can use The Beginner's Guide to Showdown in general, which explains how Showdown works.
 
So what is going on with the new ladder decay in ou :/ im 1804 the night before - I come online in the morning and im 1790. 9 hours separated those two ratings. (Not to mention)Then I play a battle and the showdown servers lag and I drop to 1760 D:)
 
Why am I ranked in metagames I've never played? I created a new alt yesterday for laddering in UU, and when I checked my rank today, it stated I had played nearly 40 matches over 5 other metagames, as well as displaying my UU ranking.

I don't play doubles or ubers (anymore, but I might take it up again) because I've never bothered to learn the metagames, I avoid the seasonal ladders and challenge cup as if they were the plague, and I've never played OU with this alt. And yes, the alt is registered with a secure password.

The most likely explanation is that someone used this account many times without ever actually registering it, meaning anyone was free to take it and register it for themselves.
