The Secura bot is now available in the RBY PS Room, which will run OU tours every few hours. It's worth idling in the room if you need your fix or the ladder isn't active!

Room staff will manually run tours for other tiers inbetween, depending on what the current conversation is among other things. Secura may be expanded depending on demand.
 
Some improvements have been made to RBY's Endless Battle Clause on PS;
  • If the last two Pokemon remainingare two Struggling Ghosts, a frozen Ghost VS a Struggling Pokemon, two Frozen Pokemon, two Ditto, or two Transform Mew, etc, an autotie is put in place. These are all endless battle situations that cannot progress. Thus, you don't have to grind to Turn 100 or whatever to do /offertie.
    • This is most applicable to RBY Random Battles where you'll often see two Dittos cause endless battles. I've seen it in my fair share of live tours, anyway...
    • In Stadium, the Ghost thing doesn't apply, as Struggle ignores type immunity there. The Ditto stuff also doesn't apply, because of changes to Transform that went live alongside this.
  • Stadium Transform has been fixed to match cartridge, as part of completing this. It fails in the following circumstances, checking in this order;
    • If the opponent has Transform in their moveset and your Transform is being used by Ditto.
    • If the opponent is Ditto.
    • Yes, this doesn't affect Mew as a result. Funny game!
May still need a server reset to go live, but it's merged, so it's only a matter of time.

On another note, criminally outdated analyses now have notes on the dex stating that they may be misinformative, as well as a ballpark year for emphasis. There's also a sample set up for each Pokemon with this, which we recommend using instead of what the analysis recommends.

Here's a list of Pokemon with this new format, OU unless specified;
  • Venusaur
  • Clefable
  • Dragonite
  • Poliwrath
  • Sandslash
  • Mewtwo (Ubers)
    • Multiple sets; Standard Amnesia, BooM2, and FlashTwo specifically.
  • Electabuzz (UU)
  • Porygon (UU)
The fact that there are so few is amazing, really. This dex has advanced leaps and bounds since last year, all thanks to a group of immensely dedicated players.

Here's an example of what the format looks like; it may be tweaked sometime, but it generally does the job.

After a good while of testing the waters, the RBY Room on PS now has scheduled Room Tours that are done via Secura. We'll be doing OU and Random Battles for now so that staff can focus on intermittent tours for less popular tiers.

Here is a graphic showing the times, with conversions to common(ish) time zones for your pleasure.
