On Pokémon showdown, there are options to make teams for many tiers, but no clear way to battle in these tiers. I wanted to ask how you can battle in these other tiers. I'm mainly interested in some of the lower tiers for gen 1 (like UU, NU, PU, the such). If someone could assist me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Formats without permanent ladders require you to directly send a challenge to another player. If you're looking to find people to play against in RBY, I would recommend the Ruins of Alph room on Pokémon Showdown, or joining the official Smogon RBY Discord server, which can be found in the RBY forum. Ruins of Alph also does a monthly rotation of non-OU tiers from lower generations.
Ah, I see. Thank you for explaining. That does help to make things more clear. I'll look into that.
Using the NDS command often result in a wrong result since the beginning of Gen 9. I don't really know where to report this issue, tho I doubt it hasn't already been.
That's most likely the case. I can't get on either.

Apparently the server itself gave out. It'll be down for a few days.
I believe that
/hidenext should work to make every battle in the future privateChecking the
"don't allow spectators" check box just above the "Battle!" button on the main menu should also have the same result
Ok, thanks.
It may depend on your browser settings. I have the /avatar for Masters Steven, and don't need to repeatedly run it every time I log in.
you need a badge to have a title
I believe there are custom showdown servers that have this, or you would need to host your own server.
See below for official repositories
Official Server repository - The server itself is somewhat straightforward. Just see the server readme
Dex Repository - This is what showdown uses for the dex, containing all mon data.
Currently working on hosting one. Just need Google Cloud Hosting to verify my payment info. I'll dm you when its done.

When are we recieving 3d models/animations for the gen 9 ruins and legendaries?
There's no ETA for that - we'll get them added whenever they're made.
If you hide the room (disallow spectators) it hides the replay as well
In that case, is it possible to have all of my ladder battles hidden by default?
Yes, when you check the "don't allow spectators" option it will save your preference.
Zarel has been working on a few design changes on PS and this is simply part of the new design.
Hey, as you read in the Title i ran into a little problem just now. I was in a SV-OU match where my opponent set 3 layers of Spikes with 
clodsire. I wanted to remove them with my 
Brambleghasts Rapid Spin. My opponent swapped in his :Corviknight :Corviknight after i finished his :Clodsire :Clodsire off. And then i went for Rapid Spin against the 
Corviknight with Rocky Helmet. Brambleghast died to the helmet but didnt clear the hazards away. There were still 3 layers of spikes on my site left.
And heres my question is it some intentional gimmick or was it some bug? [not like I lost bc of that but i am curios]
Also if i have posted this in the wrong Area please tell me where I have to put it. ^^
I also have the replay saved if anyone wants to take a look.
