when we're locked on showdown, can't We have like a button to say gg? I mean, it's a nice thing to do to say gg
If you manage to get locked you probably don't care that much about being nice to people on Showdown. This would just be used by people to be even more annoying after getting locked and we don't want to add a ton of buttons in the interface for things that aren't truly useful.
I literally got locked for saying "U suck" to someone. It doesnt mean Im evil does It? I mean, Is suck such a strong insult?
While I understand the coding limitations, wouldn’t it be possible for the button to only show up at the end of the game and be pressable once? Just a thought.
Hi! I've recently become aware of the world of extensions for showdown. It sounds really useful! I've a few questions, though. Is here the right place to get help with installing them?
Typing gg and pressing enter takes three key presses
I was talking about a button for locked users.
The whole point of being locked is to not be able to communicate with regular users
Is It possible to see exactly how many times Is left on a lock, I know I have been locked friday night but it's like 11pm sunday now And i'm still locked And can't Even say gg to people;-;
Are complex unbans possible within the current custom rules? I'm looking to recreate a form of Sky Battles on PS, yet commands such as "-All Pokemon, +Bronzong + Levitate" still result in Bronzong being banned, even if it has the ability Levitate. (and yes, I could ban Bronzong + Heatproof and Bronzong + Heavy Metal, but I'd prefer to just do a complex unban than take the time to individually ban a bunch of Pokemon + abilities)
It's not supported currently, but I believe the suggestion is approved if anyone is able to program it
I want to use the teambuilder and main game interface on mobile, but extensions like Stylish are not available to help fix scaling and scrolling issues. Is there any need for someone with CSS knowledge to help fix the user experience for mobile users? I would really like to help contribute but I'm not sure where to start :/
Depending on where you are, I would reach out to the PS team or the Smogon administration team. You could also attempt to contact Marty the research leader.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if showdown sends out the pokemon that is fastest in a battle first for either gen 9 or Natdex? If it doesn't send out the fastest mon first does it just randomly pick a mon to send out first?
For Random Battles?
I was wondering in general. Does it change for random battles vs other formats?
Is your question does the opponent's fastest pokemon get sent out first?
Yeah im asking like if i have a weavile thats max speed and my opponent has a scarfed meowscarada. Will the meowscarada come out first since with scarf its faster then weavile. That way I could use it to find out if my opponent is scarfed or not.
If I uderstand your quetion, when it switches in, who switches in first?I think it goes by the turn on which it was swicthed out
no, in formats with team preview (the screen that shows both you and your opponent's team), your opponent picks which pokemon to send out. in formats without team preview bar randbats, the lead pokemon will be the pokemon in the first teamslot. in randbats, your lead is random
That’s not what they’re asking. What they’re asking is if, when you and your opponent select a mon on team preview, if sending the mon out first has any bearing on determining its Speed. Pretty sure the answer is no.
What you can use to determine Speed is stuff like ability / item activations.
E.g. You send out a Scarf Lando-T, your opponent sends out a Tapu Lele.
Psychic Surge activates first and sets terrain, then Intimidate activates.
You can thus deduce that the opponent’s Lele is also Scarf.

After looking more into it, the pokemon that will be sent out first when a battle starts will the one from either player who selected it first.
I always take time choosing my lead in tournament matches and when my opponent has already did, the lead animation is coming from them.
Whereas in ladder matches I'm usually the first to sent out the mon because of the quick ladder environment.
Another common example would be from Hyper Offense teams that have a dedicated pokemon to lead with and the lead animation will be coming from that specific pokemon the player picked quick enough when the battle starts.
Everything else that follows is speed based. (Abilities / items / speed ties)
