Platinum Changes on Shoddy!

That was quicker than expected...
Um what about Choice Scarfers, pokés that can use Ice Shard, the base 130+ speed group, Inner focus pokés, etc.

I really don't think that Skymin is Uber material yet.

However, you have to have one of those on your team, which leaves you with only 5 slots for other Pokes.

Exactly. New games are going to keep coming out, and we just have to keep following nintendo. If you didn't think that, you might as well go back to netbattle and play advanced gen. >.>

edit: Though I do realize there are people who do this.

I don't think the real world is going to support this very well.
 
I will implement the Platinum changes on the Smogon and CAP servers today.

Big thanks to Colin and AA for making these mods to Shoddy!

Eric, the only moves that were added were the ones in the research thread that is sticked. No other movesets are known officially so they could not be added.

Fair enough, but it does seem a little odd to add some before others, it does not simulate any generation accurately. But OU is important to more people and NFE's are not common there so I can understand.

Skymin's ability looks fine to me.

Doug will the new formes be below or above the CaP's in team builder?
 
I already used Wide Lens on my Hypnosis leads. =( Quite sad, really, quite sad.

Predicting increase in Butterfree leads in UU when Platinum hits the Smogon server.
 
There is something wrong in tentacruells moveset however

If i use Rapid Spin+Knock Off it still says it is illegal while you can learn it now from a Tutor and an egg move so it's legal now
 
I'm excited to here they implanted platinum changes so quickly.

just one question though, how do I contact the server administration? Colin banned me from Official for 27 years and 4 months because I broke one rule in the entire year I've had an account there (wtf?)
 
Wow, that was fast. Thanks for that, Colin and AA.

Hahaha just swept an entire team with Sub/Discharge/Air Slash/Shadow Ball Spin Rotom.

This is great.

Pay attention guys, this is the first "Tough Rotoms" rape we've heard of. Expect these buggers to be OU, or at least BL :D
 
Wow, that was quick. Nice one guys.

It's all going to change quickly I reckon, though it will take time to analyse it..I'm not looking forwards to the possibility of a huge shift in the metagame.
 
hmm I did some battles and Skymin isn't really THAT scary
I found that, to counter it, it is like countering CB Heracross without Gliscor. Just switch in the right moves.
For example, Blissey/Zapdos on Air Slash, Hidden Power or Eath Power. Then just T-Wave, I-Beam, HPIce it.

but yeah, that were just my first experiences with it. But for now at least, Skymin isn't really THAT overpowered.

Scizor is amazing btw. Offensive or Defensive, Bullet Punch was a huge plus
 
skymin's full power is not shown because of bugs... have to rebuild a team for serene grace to show
and there are no platinum sprites..
