yes, but its much more common than that. The info about ladder decay is here: https://pokemonshowdown.com/pages/ladderhelp
How do I change a Pokemon's hidden power type in the teambuilder? When I change the IVs, it still says the type is dark.

It's an option in the same section as level, gender, friendship and Shininess! There should be a dropdown to let you change it.
However, it only appears if you've selected a format for the team where Hidden Power is legal - it's not there by default, even if the Pokémon knows Hidden Power. Try changing the team to National Dex OU or a Gen VII format:
It doesn't appear in gens 2 to 6. Is that intentional?
The option is only there because hyper training allows all 31 ivs with any hidden power, which couldnt be achieved before gen 7.
Hey all,
I was wondering if there is anyway we could access usage stats by the week or by the day. I think it would provide more data which would be beneficial for data interpolation. This could be very very useful for competitive formats such as VGC. I know showdown offers monthly data but is there any way of scraping weekly or daily data??
Thanks in advance

Hi, I need help from coders
(reference thread)
I've been reading documentation for adding a custom mode and i think I'm close to understanding how to do that, I just need to know where are all the events' name that I can add onEvent triggers on, especially those where you can modify a move's type and switching in or out.
I need to implement a volatile condition that is selected and then applied on the Pokémon that switches in, changing its typing and the type of the move it uses, I almost figured out how to do it, there are only some missing pieces.
To do so, I need to add a tick to the interface, similar to the box you can check to Dynamax your Pokémon the value of which is preserved and readable before and after you switch in or out, because the volatile status has to be added to the Pokémon that switches in. It could also totally replace the dynamax tick, the most important thing is that the value is preserved and readable after swtich out/in.
- How can I add this box?
- How can I read its value inside an "onEvent" trigger?
- How can I know if the player has selected the first or second Pokémon to switch in after swtich in?
EDIT: as a matter of fact, I just need to know if this would work as a custom battle format

Pretty sure this where I should post this... Trying to use the custom Guzma avatar, but when I use the command, I don't get the one posted on the website with all the sprites (him standing), but one of him couching instead. It doesn't seem to have another command. Unless what I'm looking at is out of date?
Given the recent raid glitch, is Hydro Pump Drilbur/Excadrill gonna be legal on Showdown? Not that it’s particularly good move on them, but y’know... meme sets are fun.
A general overview can be found here: https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-showdown/blob/master/sim/battle.ts#L490-L593 There unfortunately is no master list of event names, you can however look at the list of type definitions for some currently used one: https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-showdown/blob/master/sim/global-types.ts
onSwitchIn, onSwitchOut are a few here, there isn't an event for type changes iirc, but there probably is a method on Pokemon objects. If not its probably done by changing pokemon.types and sending a protocal message back to the client.
This would be a client side change. How it works for mega's, z-move's, and dynamax is it attaches an appropriate tag to the end of the choose command. For example, when dynamaxing and using Hydro Pump as Max Geyser, the command sent to the server is
/choose move hydropump max. (To be clear thats for the initial turn ONLY, max isn't attached if your already dynamaxed as it tells the server you want to dynamax that turn). This would be quite a tricky change, as you would need to add support in sim/side.ts for receiving and understanding a new flag like this, as well as support in the rest of the simulator process for handling it including putting it in the battle queue, and handling parsing the new event.EDIT: You'll also need to inform the client that it can do this action (so it shows the checkbox, keeps it updated with the right state, ect). Remember that the server does all the work and has all the information, clients are sent limited amounts of data and display it in a fancy format thats much easier to understand for people (and it looks nice compared to raw text).
Depends on how you implement it, see above.
I dont understand this question sorry, can you try rephrasing it/explaining it further?
And before the other posts ask me to answer their questions: If I don't answer your questions I don't know the answer.
EDIT: rewriting from scratch because my problem totally changed, working on megaEvo was way too complex as the mechanic is very entangled with the code.
Now what I want to do is to add a move to the set of each pokemon in battle, that is called Twist, has max priority, switches out the user and activates the side condition that will make the incoming pokemon affected by the volatile. I just need to know if there is a way to add a move to a Pokémon during a battle or right before it starts. Boy, if we had an event list this would be a lot easier.

Yeah, it's out of date, http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/trainers will have up-to-date trainer sprites
Hi just wanted to ask if unobtainable shinies are supposed to be useable?

my opponent has unreleased shiny ash gren on their team.

I’d like to know why Gender is randomized each game, it’s kind of a bizarre deviation from cart. The only reason this came to mind is that I was passed a team with Rivalry Haxorus and it got me thinking.
You can select the gender for each of your Pokémon in the teambuilder. It's only randomized if you haven't chosen one manually, since there isn't any meaningful way to assign a "default."
I guess the more accurate question is why is there a random option, why don't you have to commit to one before a battle?
Likely because most people won't bother to change it from the default, making Attract more viable than it is on cart where gender really is randomized.
Hi when I am in the middle of a match and I switch to another tab (or even go to a PS tab like teambuilder) sometimes my screen will bug out and seemingly scroll down. When this happens It usually scrolls down to where the heads of my opponents mons are making it not possible to see the health of those mons. To fix it I have to reload PS. Any knowlege on this? Not sure if this is a known bug so I put it here instead of the bugs thread. Apologies if this is the wrong place.
Edit: Here is an example, this time actually happened when I first loaded into the game.

I also use Firefox, probably has to do with that, Its only happened recently which is interesting.
In your case you're probably looking for the
onBegin event.Most existing event handlers are listed in the
EventMethods interface in sim/global-types.ts. (There are several versions of them because many events only apply to the Pokémon whose Ability or Item is responding to the event rather than some other Pokémon, but a format only needs to use the basic handler name). Formats also get some extra events which are listed in the FormatsData interface.Yeah, I already found it, but I can't manage to add a move on the go because I can't find a constructor for a
MoveSlot data structure.Also, I am trying to use the
onChangeSet() trigger, but the new move isn't recognised.Thank you for telling me about the event list, I couldn't find it.
