You can create a groupchat with the
/makegroupchat command, then start a tournament /tour new gen7customgame, elimination (of course it also works other generations), add Sleep Clause with /tour rules sleepclausemod and invite the person you want to play against to the room.
Today on Tours Plaza there was an Ubers tournament with the gen7camomons rule applied to it. However, the camomons rule appears to have come with the OU banlist, effectively turning the tournament into plain camomons. Is there a way to only apply the camo effect without the additional bans?
You could probably do this with custom rules in a tournament (you can make one in a groupchat from

Yes. Type
/nick [new name], and then register it.
Where does this distinction come from? From what I understand, Rain Dish Tentacruel knowing Reflect is legal in gen 7 OU because it learns Reflect in gen 1 through a TM and it can be transferred through the Virtual Console. Nidoking can know Lovely Kiss (as well as Sweet Kiss and Morning Sun) through an event in generation 2, so why is Sheer Force Nidoking knowing Lovely Kiss (or any of the other event moves) illegal in gen 7 OU? Is it not possible to transfer event Pokémon through the Virtual Console?
You can't get the event Pokemon in VC, because the event that gave the Pokemon out was in 2000. VC has the base games, events not included.
It worked but the nick part shows up. Can I get rid of it?
Is this for a Showdown or Smogon account?
Showdown. Sorry if it wasn't made more clear
Make sure you're typing /nick [name] and not /nick nick [name] (without brackets). For example, if you wanted to change your name to Pikachu, you would type /nick Pikachu. Obviously Pikachu is not an available nickname but that just serves as an example. After changing your nickname to something that is available, just type /register and follow the prompts.
Question! I was in a match before and performed a U-turn on Goliospod. U-Turn put it below 50% and activated Emergency Exit. Opponent brought in switch but I was still stuck with Eelektross and wasn't able to bring in my next pokemon. Why would u-turn fail in this case?

Hey question, even though I'm not 100% sure if it's because of showdown, but my battle window became super tiny mid battle and has been stuck like this ever since, has anyone had similar problems before? Can't seem to get it back to the original size and it is a bit annoying.

Ok so, I've been trying to make changes to Pokemon movesets for a custom client. However, for some reason although the server will accept changes to the Pokemon's movesets, the client won't display the changes done to it - in either learnsets.js or learnsets-gen6.js. Does anyone here know why this is?
is Gulp Missile supposed to be able to be copied by Trace? Is that how it works in-game, or should I pop into the bug reports thread with this?

I have a lot of questions and idk where they'd get answered
1. Why.. In "anything goes" are there so many banned Pokemon? If its anything goes you'd think you're allowed even like a Salamence or something.
2. Why are there options for abilities.. Then you're barred from starting a battle because the ability isn't confirmed? If its not .. Then why is it in the game?
3. Why do my spikes/toxic spikes randomly disappear? Plus my Gengar can get poisoned from it but no one else's I've seen can.
4. Is there an option to battle people that don't swap out every single turn? I thought the spikes would help with that, but apparently they constantly disappear randomly.
"Anything Goes" for a given generation is a format that allows anything legal in those games. This is compared to other formats like OU and Ubers which have bans setup on some thing. Salamence cannot be used in the Generation 8 games (Sword/Shield) so it's illegal in Gen 8 AG. Same thing with hidden abilities, some of them are unobtainable in the games currently and cannot be used as a result.
Do you have a replay of this? This seems like a bug to me.
Switching pokemon is a strategy used by competetive pokemon players, which smogon/showdown cater to. The only format that disallows switching is 1v1 which is limited to 3 pokemon per team at team preview, and you can only use one of them in the battle (hence 1v1).
In addition to 1v1, doubles and Battle Stadium usually have much less switching compared to 6v6 singles, so you can play any of those if you want. In older generations, there are ways to discourage switching in 6v6, such as stealth rock, ghosts (to block rapid spin), defiant/competitive (to discourage defog), arena trap, and trapping moves. I don't know how well any of those work in the new SwSh metagames.
