A careful user would send out Zoroark disguised as another Pokémon with the same level. As it is the client sees through the deception so it shows the real Scolipede and the Zoroark illusion separately.
Speaking of that, those minifigs allow you to easily track the zoroark, even after the changes. Can't you just code them to get disabled entirely if any Illusion pokemon is present? I'll be happy to help if necessary
 
Sort of random question, but is showdown payed for only by the ads ran on the website, or is there a donation system that happens? Sort of just pondered this when I was paying for my own site host.
 
In tournament rounds consisting of best 2 of 3 games for match win: do you have to use the same team for all games within the match or is the expectation that you can switch teams each game (as long as they fit the format legality)?

(I'm new to the forums, and I tried using the Search tool to see where / if this had been asked an answered but it kept giving me errors)

edit: an example to provide clarity. I'm supposed to play a best 2 of 3 match in the Gen 5 OU tournament. Game 1, I bring a rain team and opponent brings a hail team. For game 2, do I have to bring that same team or do I have the option to bring a new team? Is it automatic to reload the same team upon rematch?

I'm assuming this is for Smogon hosted tours, because you can't host a bo3 tour using the showdown tour thing.
This isn't the right place to ask, smogon simple questions would be the right place for the future (http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/smogon-simple-questions-suggestions-thread.3582200/)
But yeah unless the host specifically says to bring the same team it's usually implied that you can switch teams between games.
 
What's the difference between hidden rooms and private rooms?
Global staff have their ranks and powers in hidden rooms, they do not in secret room. Do note that Leaders and Admins do have these powers in secret rooms anyways, even if their rank doesn't show.
 
Question, where would I put a post about a single set as opposed to an entire team? I have a cool new idea (think new meta but somewhat serious) but it doesn't seem appropriate for any of the places on the forums. Doesn't seem to go in RMT, Metagames, Analysis, B101 (not a noob), or anything like that. Also don't want to bother mods by asking permission for something so small.

Better to ask stuff like that in the appropriate tier room or Trainer Academy over on PS! instead

I've actually been talking a little in the chat rooms about it, but ppl on forums are generally more... organized? in their responses. Also it gets immortalized unless deleted. Also if ur curious its sturdy spec hp ice zone but don't ask what for.

This thread might be what you're looking for then
 
Eh, reading it a bit, doesn't seem likely. More of just people questioning decisions made by staff. Stuff like tier placements, mon bans, move bans, etc.
How about you give us a small peek of the set in question and we discuss wether or not it has potential? Either right here or in the pokemon's analysis page
 
This is not the place
Yeah, didn't think so. Would it be possible to make a more miscellaneous section in the RMT forums? For just... "Assorted Ideas," so anything that isn't a full-on team. Cores, single sets, interactions, etc.?
I don't know who's in charge of creating forum sections, but I think making a misc. subset would work pretty well. If you know, could you bring the idea to them?
 
I'm trying to start up a Showdown server and I've gotten as far as downloading sprites so I can add my own Fakémon but I think I'm missing some important files that aren't a part of the server download anymore? Specifically "battledata.js " and "Pokedex-mini.js". I've seen a few threads and I know people say it's hard to add your own Fakémon, but I've been following a tutorial that's been really useful until now. Just curious if they've been renamed, or merged into other files since this tutorial was made.

Any help would be appreciated ^^

Sprites and the like are a client side thing, in the documentation you linked, the files you mentioned are under the heading "Adding and Modifying Pokemon in Pokemon Showdown's client". I can't really help you with client setup or modification, I don't know enough about it myself at this time.

ahh, thanks. I had forgot to download the client ^^

You probably want the Creative and Underrated Sets thread.

I own a side PS! server, and after last update I've noticed that chat gets cleared a lot more frequently. This is too frequent for our server since we don't have many users, so where in the code could I alter this frequency? And if this is a wrong place to ask, please show me the right thread.

What do you mean by cleared? If you mean the entire chatroom's history is emptied that only happens when a restart occurs, or if you use a program a custom command to do so. Otherwise i'm unsure what you mean by the chat being cleared.

I guess I worded that wrong, I meant that when I come, I only get chat history for last 2-3 hours or so. I used to see last night messages in the morning back then, and now I don't.
