Good to know! I was wondering what that ment when I saw it in the lobby.
From my experience, we all start at 1007 ACRE, Though it might have been changed recently (don't think so though) I'd say 1500 is below average; as a stable 1:1 win loss gets you around at least 1550 if not 1600 (again it depends on your win:loss for the first few battles)Really? Every player starts with a little below 1500 and I would assume that's where the average is, but I don't have any sources for that :P
You may also do /cap to read all about them. They're real fun once you get used to itDo random battles include fakemons? I have trouble identifying them with my lack of gen 5 knowledge
Is there a full list of the / commands like /rank, /analysis etc... ?
Thank you, some of them are really useful.A full list is /help all. It's a long list tho.

You can also do /FAQ deviation on Showdown to see more on how your rankchanges
Yes but ladders are calculated by ACRE And I assume that was what he meant by "rank" as people don't usually use Glicko to say their rank even though it is the actual rankEach player starts off at 1500 Glicko, ACRE is just a byproduct of Glicko.
If those tournaments are OU, then no. If it is an Ubers Tournament then yes.If an OU Garchomp is kicked from Showdown for being uber, can it be used in tournamnets?
Tier Shift is a metagame where pokemon in the lower tiers have boosted base stats. UU has +5 in every stat, RU has +10 and NU has +15. You can read up more in these two threads:What is Tier Shift?

Toxic Spikes will affect the incoming pokemon that you are passing the substitute to.When you baton pass when you have a substitute, and the opponent has used the move toxic spikes, does the pokemon you baton pass to get poisoned? So in short do toxic spikes go through a substitute?
The ladder on Showdown is based on ACRE rank, and the most common issue that prevents someone being on the ladder is deviation. Usually you need below 100 deviation to be on the ladder but there might be a lower deviation requirement; I am not sure though as I don't play doubles VGC.How do you get into the ladder on Pokémon Showdown? In doubles vgc 2013, I have 1719 ACRE, 77 GXE and 1816 +/- 68 Glicko2. I have seen plenty of people on the ladder with ratings that are all lower than this, so what is the ladder actually based on?
Baton Pass teams are easily countered by a Whirlwind/Roar or a lucky crit, so I don't recommend it. If you insist however:Could someone help me with an OU singles baton pass team? I want to sweep with Haxorus, because it has mold breaker AND duel chop. So, if you're any good at baton pass teams, can you help me?
Ninjask carries Swords Dance so no point of Celebi... And I don't see the point of a calm mind boosted Haxorus. You could do Stored Power Espeon after calm mind CelebiNinjask (speed)
Espeon (cm+magic bounce)
Gorebyss (shell smash)
Vaporeon (acid armor)
Celebi (swords dance)
Haxorus (sweeper)
Can you find anyway to make this team better? Or is it solid?
