Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Welcome to the Heroes Home, a place of rest, safety, but most importantly, family. In the darkest of days, and the coldest of nights, the Heroes Home will always be a beacon of warmth to guide you forward. You are neither tool, trophy, or trash - you are you, and we welcome you as such. All Pokemon are celebrated here, for everyone is equal in our family. Know that you shall never again be alone once you cross our threshold. A shoulder to cry on, a hug freely given, a mind ready to listen are all yours if you are in need. So come, sit by the fire, warm your soul, and enjoy a hot beverage, for you are in the Heroes Home.
Politeness is paramount. I will always treat you as a peer, and thus the reverse is expected.
Please be explicit in your desires/questions/intent. Communication is easiest when everyone has a firm understanding of what is taking place, and there will rarely be a rush to do so. Reread your requests before posting to ensure clarity.
Poke Classic Network [For Past Gen Wondercards/Battle Tower (World Ability Ribbon)]
PowersavesPro [For Cloning in Gen 6-7 + Item Injection + Save states for SSR Method]
Pokemon Automation software + Arduino [For Gen 8 bot automation]
This is a semi-giveaway/trade thread. All Pokemon other than those found in the Trophy Case/Special Projects lists are free - however I reserve the right to both deny trades or ask for something in return.
All Pokemon listed have been bred/SR'd/RNG'd by me, unless stated otherwise.
Please condense your requests. Multiple requests over a short period are worse than simply asking for a lot at once.
Most shiny Pokemon I have listed have been generated using save state restoration, RNG abuse, or automated breeding. If you do not condone these methods, then those Pokemon are not for you.
If a Pokemon you've obtained from me receives an update (new nickname, ribbon, etc.) you may trade it in to receive the updated Pokemon.
If you notice a listing mistake, please inform me at your earliest convince. It helps me a lot!
All parents are free upon request, however I reserve the right to refuse.
Any parents I provide will be clones and fully are redistributable.
All parents will be flawless 5-6 IV, with the dump stat dictated by their nature (except for Trick Room natures).
I am currently able to transfer/trade Pokemon to Gen 8, however most of my Gen 7 Pokemon have not been updated to Gen 8 (IE, no moveset changes, no new ribbons, etc.). All Pokemon currently offered in Gen 7 will still be available in Gen 7.
Some Pokemon may not be available in Gen 7. In most cases it will be obvious (Pokemon, movesets, abilities, etc., that are not available in Gen 7), however feel free to ask if you're unsure.
A viable build for Herdier. You design it, I approve it, and I'll give you a completed copy.
A viable build for Swadloon. You design it, I approve it, and I'll give you a completed copy.
A viable build for Pidgeotto. You design it, I approve it, and I'll give you a completed copy.
A viable build for Lombre. You design it, I approve it, and I'll give you a completed copy.
A viable build for Nidorina. You design it, I approve it, and I'll give you a completed copy.
People who can breed perfect parent Pokemon for me. Breeding Pokemon for the correct ball, nature, EM's, etc., is the slowest and most boring part of my projects (I'm very lazy). Help is always appreciated.
Your immortal soul.
Many images have been modified from original artwork by artists. While this artwork is slowly being phased out, their artwork is their own and not owned by me in any way. I thank them for how their work has livened up the Heroes Home over the years.
Special thanks to rufusdrumknott for helping me when I first joined Smogon those many years ago.
Special thanks to .com for helping with waaaaay too many instances of corrupted BB code and other various tasks. I think I killed too many of your brain cells with my issues.
Special thanks to Max. Optimizer for helping with a variety of necessary tasks that helped me build my mons when I was unable to.
Honestly, I don't like Trophy Cases. It kind of objectifies pokemon. However, I do want to share the best friends I've had over the years, and as such, they will be displayed here (among other fun stuff). Unless you sell me your arm, and a leg, and your firstborn child, I probably won't trade these guys (unless otherwise stated), so unless you have something I need, don't ask.
All pokes here are not tradable unless otherwise stated.
All Pokemon have been leveled to lvl 100 unless stated otherwise.
Note, Gold text on an IV means that that stat was Hyper Trained from a non-30 IV stat. Pink text on an IV means that that stat was Hyper Trained from a 30 IV stat. Black text that is underlined on an IV means that that IV is either 30 or 0.
I love Hawlucha. I've been playing Pokemon since Gen 4, and I still love Hawlucha over all the rest! He has excellent offensive typing, a great move set, one of the best abilities in the game, he's built to be fast and strong, and he looks great! What's not to love? He can brawl with the best of them and come out on top, and he's ready to fight in a pinch. But what matter most about a Pokemon, is not their strength, or how they look, it's whether or not they have your back, and are willing to be your friend. I can safely say with 100% certainty, Hawlucha will always have my back, as I will have his.
This was the first legendary Pokemon I ever soft-reset! Came out pretty well! Use this guy for a fast support. I actually have a First Edition Pokemon card of Raikou somewhere, gotta love the old art design!
Most people probably don't know who rufus is/was. They haven't been on Smogon in quite some time, but when they were, they were active in the WiFi section. In large part thanks to their generosity, I ended up really getting into competitive Pokemon. So to honor them, I turned one of their giveaway Pokemon into a Ribbon Project, even if this Ampharos is a bit outdated. This Pokemon is Free-Redis only (can only be redistributed for free).
I realized that I kept having people help me with projects, but that I also had nothing to give back but spitbacks. Thus, Gratitude was born (well, I mean give or take a few days). Gratitude chimes loudly and somehow clones itself into your PC if you help Blizzard with a project without asking for anything in return (don't ask, I blame The Domed One). If you've helped me in the past, you can request Gratitude to clone herself into your PC, otherwise, don't bother asking, she comes to you, not the other way around. You can also help Gratitude clone herself into other people's PC's, if they help you as well (IE, conditional redistribution rights. You can redistribute her only if you do so as a gift to those who help you.)!
All redistribution rights are non-redis by default. However, they can (and probably will be) provided if you ask.
All Pokemon have been leveled to lvl 100 unless stated otherwise.
All Pokemon here are available for trade, but I will always require something in return. Pokemon here took a lot of effort and work to be completed.
Note, Gold text on an IV means that that stat was Hyper Trained from a non-30 IV stat. Pink text on an IV means that that stat was Hyper Trained from a 30 IV stat. Black text that is underlined on an IV means that that IV is either 30 or 0.
The majestic predator of the sky takes her rightful place as the ultimate nuke! Double-Edge Fearow was a bucket list Pokemon I wanted, and so I went all in. Soft reset a wild encounter on a legit Leaf Green cart, and here we are! I decided to make her a semi-Ribbon project as well, just beacuse she looks prettier that way. She doesn't have any of the Gen 3 Hoenn ribbons, beacuse frankly I don't have 600+ USD to drop on a legit Emerald cart. I used the Poke Classic Network to access WFC for the World Ability Ribbon. She still has the transfer-only move Endure because I needed it for Gen 4 contests and I never removed it. No real reason to remove it now. U-Turn is the optimal replacement if you intend to use her in a competitive format.
IVs Before Hyper Training: 28 HP, 1 Atk, 31 Def, 10 SpAtk, 14 SpD, 24 Spd
A long-term project finally complete! Zuihou makes her all the way from Gen 4 with every ribbon! I started work on this project all the way back in 2016, when I was really interested in getting a Vacuum Wave Infernape. Over time, that project evolved into what it is now. One of the issues I faced was that I was (and still am) too potato brained to RNG abuse. Zuihou is el-natural, IE I spent 6 months of my life constantly breeding Chimchar until I finally got her. I used the Poke Classic Network to access WFC for the World Ability Ribbon. Her name Zuihou is derived from Zuì Hóu in Chinese, or Drunken Monkey after the famous Kung Fu style.
All redistribution rights are non-redis by default. However, they can (and probably will be) provided if you ask.

Well here's a blast from the past, Guts Raticate. Alolan Raticate has nothing on OG Raticate. Sure, he's old fashioned, but Alolan Raticate lost speed and power for more bulk and a 4X Weakness to Fighting. Rip in pieces. I love using Raticate for some quick Guts trolling (along with my Toxic Boost Zangoose), beacuse once he gets his status, there's not much any team can do against him. Along with Fearow, I rate him as one of the most underappreciated Gen 1 charms. I'm running Flame Wheel on him beacuse Forretress doesn't enjoy it, but you can U-Turn for some quick getaways.
Named Adishesha after Shesha, the Hindu mythological serpent king. Adishesha translates as "First Shesha", in reference to his role in creation and destruction.
Named after Duke Kahanamoku, a famous competitive swimmer who helped popularize surfing. Often called the Father of Modern Surfing.

"1KPunch Man"! Haha!... you don't get it? Like,... he can punch 1 thousand times in 2 seconds... and like One Punch Man... no? Just me? ;-; forever alone.
Oh how do I love me some Mega Slowbro! It's such a funny design, and it makes me want squeeze that chubby little body. I even actually have a plush of M-Slow! That being said, the ideal set is generally without the mega, but when have I ever prioritized optimal builds over looks? Doesn't matter, Slowbro will easily outlast almost any threat you face.
Named after Encephalartos woodii or Wood's cycad, a rare cycad that is often referred to as "The Loneliest Tree in the World". Woodii is extinct in the wild and only one specimen has ever been found. Because cycads are dioecious and the last woodii is male, no offspring can be produced.
Named after Andrew Carnegie, a wealthy Scottish-American industrialist during the Gilded Age.

Muhahaha! Dancing Dino == OP! I used this Rhydon in the Kanto Classic, and we did pretty dang good. Built for a full offensive set, and once he gets his set ups in, he's just OP, not just in the Kanto Classic. In honor of how much he's done for me as a friend and an ally, I made him into a ribbon project.

Named after nishikigoi (commonly shortened to koi), Asian carp that have been selective bred for their patterns.
Named Serusuman after the Japanese word for salesman, sērusuman - in reference to the Magikarp Salesman. This is a meme build, never use this in battle.
Named after the qilin, a chimerical beast in Chinese mythology. When giraffes were first transported to China during the Ming dynasty, similarities between it and the qilin led to them being synonymized.
How long has Heracross been waiting to be added here? Too long. Sure, Heracross isn't as good as its buddy Pinsir in sweeping thanks to its new mega, but Heracross is a beast with that Skill Link. I usually have to Baton Pass speed onto him, or set up Tailwind, but once he gets rolling, I have really have no issues 0HKO'ing everything that doesn't resist him. I went for the standard OU set on him, but personally I like the Jolly set more.

Named after the Tomioka Silk Mill, Japan's oldest modern silk reeling factory. The complex has been designated as a National Historic Site, as are many of the historic industrial silk buildings in the local area.
I think my perception of Medicham has been ruined by Route 216 for far too long. I remember dumpstering these Pokemon on my way to Snowpoint a lot - everyone gets a Staraptor in Sinnoh, so they're never going to be a threat. Yet, that hides the true power - or rather pure power of these Pokemon. Suddenly having base 120 (or 200) attack gives Medicham some amazing stopping power. I regret sleeping on Medicham, but I'm happy that I can use one now!
