I hope this isn't a question that gets asked every two seconds, but what determines the unusual colors of certain pokemon? Is there a way to give a pokemon an unusual skin intentionally? I've seen day-glo green beedrills, red ferrothorns... Please, enlighten me, forums!

not sure if its a biological lore question, and in game question, or a showdown sim question but assuming the latter then all you do is fill in that Yes bubble
Also this can probably have just been answered in the Simple Question Simple Answer thread, rather than posting a thread.

No. You gotta earn it by contributing to the server (being ranked in different rooms, programming, etc) and prove you're a good user too
If the question is about one of the other things that kamikaze17 didn't explain, you can find the answer here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shiny_Pokémon

How do you get ranked in different rooms?

Link to model fixing thread please, you can delete this thread after
Okay I merged this into the simple question / simple answer thread but I remember you making a ton of these one line threads in the past for things that already fit into existing threads (simple questions, suggestions, or bug reports mostly) so please just use those in the future. Here's the model thread though http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ps-model-fixing-thread-oras-era.3500358/
So I'm a general idiot w/technology and no amount of googling can help so maybe someone here knows. I recently got a new computer and since then my teams don't carry over from PS to smogtours which is really annoying for slam with all these random lower tier teams. I can't think of what the issue is, I have cookies enabled and that's about all I know. Showjoins doesn't stay on either although that's less important. If anybody isn't dumb like me and can help out, thanks.
How often does your rating decay if you dont play? I play mainly ou and vgc16.
On days you played more than 5 battles or are below 1400 elo, your rating does not decay.
Otherwise if you played between 1 and 5 battles, your rating decays by 1 point for every 100 points above 1400 elo.
Finally, if you played zero battles, your rating decays by 1 point, plus 1 for every 50 points above 1400 elo.
Ladders besides OU and randbats decay by 2 points less, meaning that the decay will be 1 point for every 100 points above 1600 and 1 point for every 50 points above
Edit: 1450 because of the extra point you'd lose for not playing at all. This means that if I'm at 1501 and I don't play, I decay to 1500 after which I won't decay anymore since I'm less than 50 points above 1450.
For the tech savy, the source code can be found here: https://github.com/Zarel/Pokemon-Showdown-Client/blob/master/lib/ntbb-ladder.lib.php#L282

Does this mean I lose points for 24 hours of not playing, or is it just that I need to play once each calendar day? For the second part I'm wondering if there is some universal time when decay kicks in every day, like midnight est for example. So if I play at 4 AM on August 5th and 8 AM August 6th, would I avoid decay?
Do I have any resource besides 'ignoring' somebody to stop them from constantly spectating my games? It weirds me out. They've been doing it for several days
You could use "/hideroom" on your battles to hide the battle room from people who click on your name. "/modjoin on" also works and makes it so people without roomvoice (or global auth) are unable to join the battle room.
If a user is harassing you, you can pm a moderator in the help room (collect some evidence in the form of replays or screenshots of pms).
Edit: That's only if they are harassing, just following around doesn't count unless they are picking with weird names or breaking the rules in your battle

Hi all,
Enjoying showdown very much, what a fantastic f2p game!
Recently I was invited to a Gen 2 random battle, which I didn't think existed. The only past generation random battle format I've been able to use is Gen 1. I also looked at the current active battle tabs and there are dozens more formats than I can see on my own 'Find a battle' tab.
I was curious if there was some trick to me finding the missing formats.
Here is a screenshot of what I can see.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi I was trying to make an Endure+Custap Dragonite for 1v1 but it wouldn't allow it. What's wrong with it?
I assume your Dragonite is a multiscale one. Unfortunately, Endure can only be learnt in gen 3, which means that Inner Focus would be its only ability.
If there is more than a target, the power will be reduced to 75%. A Pokémon being immune or using protect counts as a target so the power will be reduced. But if your opponent has only one Pokémon on the field and you use Rock Slide, the power will be full.
is it reduced to 75%, regardless of the amount of targets? like would a rock slide in doubles do the same amount in triples?
