Hello,

Why can't Basculegion use aqua tail in showdown?
I tried several formats in gen IX
Serebi & Bulbapedia states, that it can learn the attack (through breeding according to bulbapedia)

I'm not finding Aqua Tail on Basculegion on either site listed, are you sure your not mistaken?

It only gets it in PLA and can't keep the move when transfered to SV.

Ok, but why can't I use it in the Format "National Dex AG" (Gen 9)? I think / thought that I can use attacks from other Gens / Games before, too.
Or do I have to use an other format for it?

Nat Dex doesn't include moves Pokemon only get in BDSP or PLA for some reason.
 
How do I pull up the thing to show my elo like you do in suspect tests? Is there any penalty to resetting your win/loss rate? On a broader spectrum, is there a list of chat commands anywhere?

/rank (optionally you can do /rank, [format], or input the command on a battle of the desired format, to see only the points of that single one).

No, there is really no penalty as what usually matters are ELO and GXE. Be careful of doing so on suspects, though, as the number of games played delimits the threshold you should thrive for, so try no to reset them there.

A general list of commands can be found with /help, and you can see different instructions from most commands by using /help [command]

It doesn't reset your GXE? Does that mean that if I'm doing badly, I have to make another alt to get that 80% GXE?
 
I want to use pokemonshowdown's API to conduct a doubles battle based on vgc rules, but I cannot use my own team. I can only use the teams that have been saved in my account. And every time I connect, I need to manually select a team, which is very inconvenient.

The error returned to me is: This format requires you to use your own team.||- If you're not using a custom client, please report this as a bug.

So I want to know how to access the saved teams in the account through the API and join the battle directly?

Call https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/api/getteams while logged in to get the sparse list of your teams (teamid, list of mons[]).
Then when you're going to battle, call https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/api/getteam with a teamid provided to get the full team. Send it to the server with /utm (to the websocket), then start a battle search with /search.
 
Hello! Thanks for all your hard work, I love Pokemon Showdown. I was wondering, me and my friend like to play chess where we have a day or two to take our moves, but the Pokemon Showdown room expires after 15 minutes. Is there any way to disable the room expiring so that we can come and go and take our turns whenever we want? Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the kind words :) This is a really good idea but sadly the sim is just not built for it. It's designed to be held in RAM while you send commands and play; trying to make it a correspondence game would require saving the entire state of the battle or replaying it turn for turn each time, neither of which we have the resources for. It's easy with chess because the states of the game, and how player choices affect them, are extremely simple compared to a game like Pokemon.
 
That forum is specified for battles. I read through it and it’s for bugs related to moves not working right or sprites being incorrect. I’m not having issues related to that

I apologize if thats unclear, you can report any PS bugs there, I'll have that clarified.
 
Hey, I just recently had my password reset on Showdown, and it won’t let me log in even then, even after verifying I used the correct password. It always says “Wrong Password” when I try. Is there something I may be doing wrong? Username is ‘Lord Felidae’ if that helps any
