Is there a Pokemon Go Friend Code thread or even just any POGO thread at all?

Smogon Simple Questions & Suggestions Thread
- Thread starter Quite Quiet
- Start date
There's a general thread for it here!
Hello this post is being made after having been asked to move it from the the Suggestions subforum and I apologize for this.
This is more of a request than a question.
Please implement justified alignment
This is a very simple fix and I think this should be implemented because all word editors have this and I consider Smogonforums to be pretty advanced among gaming forums. Implementing indents would be pretty nice too, since the Tab command doesn't work, sadly but I need to see this happen because it's starting to weigh on my eyes and I am beginning to lurk around the server more and more.
I have no idea what year we live in but this is a society.
We need our paragraphs to to look elegant. I mean it.
Do you see how hard I am trying to respect a length
of a line? I wish I could tell you all how taxing it is and
how frustrating it is for text to be just a jumbled up
mess of meaningless words with nonsense conveying
nothing but green ideas which sleep furiously. If you
aren't at all concerned then you should be, not for me,
but for the state of well-being of folks on this forum.
So please, Smogonites. You've shown me the beauty of
inter-medial formatting, that is, the beautiful harmony
between text and images and funny gifs with cute and
friendly pokemon in messages. You gave me Lavos' win-
post from 2019 where he showed GSC can be cool and
even talked about. Give us, the users and people those
very tools to make our writing look better. You know it,
that it's what we need-to-want-to-deserve-to-have........
Love

I am serious about this. Please do not lock this post without giving me a valid reason why this isn't being / cannot be implemented.

Sometimes I see people's accounts say 'banned deucer' yet I have no idea what it means.
it means they're banned from the website.
And the word 'deucer'? Does that explain what they did? There are many reasons why someone can get banned.
I believe it's just a play on the word user, and no, it doesn't explain why someone was banned.

To reduce residual damage, primarily from Stealth Rock, but also stuff like sand, hail, and poison. You want an odd HP stat to do this.
Because in general in strategy Smogon 6v6, it is always advisable to have odd HP so these are the numbers that end in 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 as for exemple 341, 397, 443, 449 for the reasons there is TailGlowVM who gave them to you!

Yes, but these are quite special cases and in addition they explain why to put 30 HP IVs and not 31 HP IVs for Heracross in ADV

This isn't really true, it's a common misconception that it is but this isn't how residual damage actually works. Odd HP doesn't necessarily matter. These numbers round down no matter what, so to maximise the effectiveness of Stealth Rock numbers you're gonna wanna do a little bit of math.
For example, take Noivern:
A Noivern with 252 HP EVs has 374 HP. 374 / 4 = 93.5, which rounds down to 93, so Noivern will take 93 HP of damage from Stealth Rock. The fourth hit will not KO it.
A Noivern with 248 HP EVs has 373 HP. 373 / 4 = 93.25, which rounds down to 93, so it still takes 93 HP of damage from Stealth Rock. The fourth hit will still not KO it.
In this case you'd be better off just going with max HP because it doesn't make a difference.
On the other hand you have something like Weavile:
Max HP Weavile has 344 HP, 344 / 4 = 86, so it takes 86 HP. Fourth switch-in KOs it.
248 HP Weavile has 343 HP, 343 / 4 = 85.75, so it takes 85 HP. Fourth switch-in doesn't KO it.
This applies even to stuff that resists/is neutral to rocks but it's obviously not really gonna make a realistic difference with something like Cobalion. There's an entire guide to this here if you wanna look more into it. Also gonna ping UrAverageHuman since they asked for this in the first place.
Excuse me, but i want to ask about the pokepaste feature, when i enter my pokemon copied from showdown and put in in the notes of pokepaste, it always ends up as (no or invalid paste), sorry if i can't ask this here but i really need help
The notes feature is really just for explaining certain aspects of the team, like "this EV spread does [x y z]". The actual paste goes in the big black box to the left of the name/description.
You can also upload your team directly from Pokemon Showdown with this button:
I was wondering what that was for, thanks a lot for the helpThe notes feature is really just for explaining certain aspects of the team, like "this EV spread does [x y z]". The actual paste goes in the big black box to the left of the name/description.

The percentage of luck is quite low I think
Ok thanks
From time to time Showdown! has to go down in order for essential work and updates to be performed. There were a few bugs over the last few days, so devs are probably working hard to fix them.
Cool thank you for letting me know. Glad I got some battles in this morning before lol.
