everyone i asked said that the teambuilders synchronize and that's how it used to be for me too. now they're just 2 complete entities, which is fine too, if it wasn't for the fact that stours randomly deletes teams and apparently makes them reappear again. it's like it loaded different save states fsr

It probably is that it has loaded a different save state. Smogtours updates its server data far less frequently than main which is why, for instance, it's banned in major tournaments in randomised formats because it's usually using an older version of the format than main is. If Smogtours is copying main server data, you have to wait for it to do that.

the thing is, i have 180 teams on main and like 10 on stours, so it doesn't update at all between the 2 servers, not just slowly.
and the issue is that the stours server teams randomly disappear and reappear, completely unrelated to what's going on on main (at least as far as i can tell)

it is a bit frustrating cause i build some tournament teams for random tiers that i cannot ladder on stours only and i keep having to remake them and constantly transfering teams from main to stours for every small tournament game is also a bit annoying. i was wondering if i could just stop stours from randomly deleting teams

Personal team data is not stored on our servers, its stored in cookies on your device. This does not change the fact that teams are seperated between the two servers.

To sync them, use backup/restore all to copy your teams from main to stours. Keep in mind if any of your teams are only on stours they will be lost, so copy those over to main first.

Are you using a different device or browser when this happens?

I did clear all my data and then copy the teams from main to stours, but they don't sync and the problem persists

and no i am using the same device at all times

sync as in when you make a change on one server its reflected on the other? That doesn't happen automatically, it only happens when you do the above steps I mentioned. The teambuilders are separate for separate servers.

What about the same browser eg chrome or firefox? Are all your team's disappearing or just some?

lily linked this thread to me and now i put exceptions for smogtours and main and changes on main are reflect on smogtours now. lets see if that'll wipe my builder again

Hi, does anyone know of a way to stop seeing opponent's Pokemon's nicknames? I've run into a few that are really immature and I'd rather focus on playing the game. I feel like this was a setting in the games at some point. I didn't see anything in any of the FAQ's.

Join a battle then click on "battle options" in the top right then click on "Ignore nicknames". it will then do this for every battle in the future

how does showdown round for damage % shown when attacking an opposing pokemon (like the damage being dealt, not the hp afterwards). ive seen it round down on ladder and up when testing myself so idt it always rounds up or down (assuming it doesn't could it?)
 
How do I get notifications for tournaments starting in the Randbats room? Whenever I ask there I seem to get contradictory answers. I have Tournaments: Notifications in my Showdown account settings but I don't receive them, which has cause me to miss out on a bunch of tournaments that start while I'm focusing on my battle. I do receive notifications when my turn is starting while I'm in another tab or window, so I don't think it's my computer's fault. Do I need to have the room in another tab or something? Very frustrating.
 
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.
 
I'm practicing for some tours and so would prefer to keep my replays private. It's very annoying to click /hidereplay every time, so is there a feature that does it automatically?
