My question concerns critical hits. 1/32 is standard moves. I assume every increase divides the denominator in half? So 1/32->1/16->1/8->1/4->1/2?
Yes, although it is very difficult to get more than two boosts. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Critical_Hits#Critical_hit

Wobbuffet can't be used with Custap Berry in Standard OU for some reason (used it prefectly fine before).
There is no way to access a Custap Berry as-of-yet in Black and White. Similar to Soul Dew (same reason), it is banned.
 
help?

Hey, I need some help. When I try and do anything on the sim, it doesn't do it. Whether it be a message, battle, or trying to join a tournament.
For example, the register button goes grey after I click on it, but I never get in. Also, I can never find a random battle. I just ignores my request. As for messages, I can type them, but they never go to the chat. Any idea what I should do? I havent had a chance to use any of the gen V pokemon yet because of this.
 
What's error n^1? (Replace the ^ with a little circle). I'm getting this error whenever I try to login...this started during this afternoon, right after one of my battles froze and I had to log out.
 
So just to check, the server is down right? I can connect to the generic PO server, but Smogon does not appear in the list (and hasn't for 2ish days?). Kinda sucks when i need to get my rating up for voting and there is no server to do that in.
 
I am trying to connect to the Smogon University server, however, I keep getting this error message:

An error occurred while attempting to connect to the server:

Connection refused: connect

Is this just my computer, or it is the server's fault?

For everybody who is going to ask this question in the near future:

Yes, the server is down. It happens a lot. We know that it happens a lot. Just wait, and soon it will be up again.
 
How does PO ranking system work, and what rating should I be looking at for suspect testing qualifications?

+rating bot says that I'm 1490/7737, but I don't think that that is the rating that I should be looking at.

double click on your name and you'll see a window pop up

it'll be the number in that window

you want that number to reach 1500
 
It has been said that the limit to get to vote in the suspect discussions is 1500, which you can see by right-clicking your name and selecting 'view rating' or whatever. Beyond that, the way it works is that the higher you are, the better you are, and they are done much like chess rankings IIRC. The rankingbot tells you how you are positioned related to everyone else.

Ninja'd.

Hey Athen,

wanna answer my question?
because I want to use my favorite poke on a competitive team
 
This is such a chore when ranks only go up 8 points at a time. All these perish trapping/other rain teams are getting boring. I'm tempted to start running former ubers like everyone else.

How often does the smogon server on PO usually go down?

Your wish is my command. Following this, I obviously travelled off to PO and tried it, which unfortunately led to my Standard OU team, less one Latios, accompanying an un-EV'd Lickilicky with the first four moves on the list into a very confusing DW battle (which I won. You wouldn't believe the guy I played against). From thi I would guess it just hasn't been updated yet.

It is reasonably random (not an oxymoron, I'm sure) when it goes down, but maybe once a day would give a rough indication. As to rising up the ranks, that is not how it works. It is dependent on your rating and your opponents.
 
How exactly do i register?

I just came on and i can't talk, the battles won't be found, so on and so forth. I'd ask the people on the forums, but i can't TALK to them. Help, please?
 
That's not working, obviously.

As in, i pressed it and it just registered as pressed, but did nothing. And i just pressed it again, with no response besides it being depressed, which basically means that it should have activated or is loading, but the last time i tried that there was no response for a long period of time, and there isn't one now.

And don't patronize me.
 
I'm sorry, but there are a lot of idiots on the internet, and you can never be sure based on such a short post. Anyway, have you tried going on a different server or under a different nickname. Alternatively, make sure that you have the most updated copy of PO and you have a strong, consistent internet connection, which can be the cause of such problems. Do you get any kind of error message, such as something up the top of the chat box?

Such Pokemon are called Legal Hacks, and they generally allowed in Tournaments on Smogon, although some wifi purists will frown on them. As for Nintendo tournaments like the VGC, they are not allowed and the Pokemon will be submitted to hack checks. These hack checks check every part of a Pokemon, but they will allow a Pokemon to pass if it is done correctly.
